I’ve talked about this before, but I LOVE Tiffani Thiessen. I loved her when I was younger and she joined the cast of 90210. I even kind of loved her before that on Saved By the Bell (shame-face). I love that she still has a career and that she’s on White Collar now (she plays Tim DeKay’s on-screen wife), and I still think she’s so, so pretty. I love that she’s never really been “in style” you know? She’s always seemed more like a throwback with her voluptuous body and her beauty mark and her sweet-sexy beauty. Like, she would have been a perfect 1940s pin-up. Anyway, Tiffani posed for “Me In My Place” which is basically just a photographer coming to her house/apartment and taking photos of her rolling around in her underwear. Surprisingly enough, even though the photos are sexy, they don’t really feel trashy. She’s more covered up than most of the women who pose for this series, so maybe that’s it. And in case you’re wondering, she’s 38 years old. That face could easily pass for 20s though (or maybe I’m just looking at her through the 90210 prism). Some highlights from the interview:
Howard Stern once describing her as having the “most perfect breasts” in the world: “Yeah, he said that before I had kids (laughing loudly). He first said that around the time that first FHM cover came out, it came up again when I did his show again last year. I’m not gonna say I’m not flattered, he’s Howard Stern, Howard knows boobs. The fact that he talked about me positively, I’ll take it! He was really nice and complimentary, in his own special way he was very respectful.”
You were the consummate sex symbol, was that a lot of pressure? “I think any time you are on a hit show as a young actor or actress, you feel that way. Then as a woman, there’s some additional pressures you feel to look a certain way and be a certain size. I was not the girl that was a size 2 and didn’t work for it. I was never the waify model type.”
If you could play any character, who would you be? “I got very close to that once, one thing that I always wanted to do was be a Bond Girl. I tested but didn’t get it. It was also probably the hardest rejection, because I’m such a fan of the movies. It was between me and 2 other actresses at the time. Unfortunately the actress who got the job, went on to be voted as one of the worst Bond Girls as well.”
Guilty pleasures? “Wine and chocolate. Or if a “Designing Women” marathon is on, I won’t switch it off. God I love that show.”
Favorite 90s Jam? “I absolutely loved Boys 2 Men, but I’d have to say George Michael’s “I Want Your Sex.” I played that over and over again, I’m not kidding you.”
Being a TV staple, what’s that like? “Sometimes it’s crazy to think about how “Saved By The Bell” and “90210” ran for so long and internationally too. I feel very fortunate and blessed, to have worked on shows that lived for a while. Especially after experiencing that popularity at such a young age. Then to continue to say I’m a working actress now, I still really enjoy it.”
Which Bond movie was she talking about? Probably The World Is Not Enough, and the other actress she’s alluding to is Denise Richards. Denise played “Dr. Christmas Jones” who was, no joke, a nuclear physicist. I’m not saying that Tiffani would have been better in the role, but it would be difficult to do a worse job, you know?
Also: love the shout-out to Designing Women!!!

Yeah, I don’t get it. Having your photo taken in your underwear so you can post it online screams of attention deficit…as in she’s not getting enough of it.

^yep. I always thought she looked like a stick in Saved by the Bell. If you pull up some scenes in youtube you’ll see what I’m saying, no boobs, no butt and a hint of a waist at most. Her main attribute is having a pretty cheeky face, which is why she looks younger than her age but I’m sorry, I’ve never seen the voluptuous pin up like body you mention…her body did become more woman like and feminine after having a child. But it is not exotic nor exhuberant. She is very average body wise. Now her face is really pretty, youthful and spunky and her personality is very likeable and easy going, I’ll give her that.

Her body COMPLETELY changed after SBTB because she was a teenager when they filmed it. She was incredibly pin thin because she hadn’t fully developed. As soon as she hit her 20′s she filled out and became much much more voluptuous. It has always shocked me the way her body totally changed as she matured but mine did the same thing! I was a late bloomer and finally came into my own right around the time I turned 18. It’s kind of amazing how we change as we age.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
She had a butt in SBTB for sure, I know because I thought it was kind of big for being such a skinny girl. She looked way different in BH because she got implants. She was like an A cup prior. I never thought she was very pretty until she cut her hair.

Being photographed like that looks stupid on a 20 year old and even worse on a nearly 40 year old.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yes, how dare a woman who is almost forty years old try (and succeed) to look attractive and sexy? She should really just roll over and die at her ancient age. Didn’t anyone ever tell her that life ends at 35?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Sorry, I find the concept of being photographed rolling around on furniture in your underwear to be just plain stupid. The pics aren’t trashy but I guess I don’t understand the point.
Also, she really needs to powder her nose in photos. (Since turning 40, my nose is ALWAYS red in photos so I am oversensitive to this, LOL.) I think she’s still a pretty woman, though.

Yeah I don’t get it either but she looks great maybe that is reason enough.

‘Me in my place’ is a series that has been running for a few years now. I don’t follow it, but if memory serves, the premise is basically that women look and feel sexiest in our own spaces, very little makeup and our own clothes (usually underwear in this series granted). The photos i’ve seen don’t always turn out amazing, but i kind of like the concept. It better than a Uncle Terry or Maxim at least IMO.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I thought she looked good until I scrolled down. Yikes!
From reading comments here, I’m relieved to find that others think this is tacky and ridiculous too! It’s worse than other photo shoots because it is so casual and, hence, so jarring.
Why do women continue to let themselves be used in this manner? She plays an intelligent, loving woman on White Collar. Now, this? Did she really need the help?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Used? Really? There are a million photo shoots where women are being used and this is nothing close to those. No butt crack or cleavage shown.
She’s really pretty and really fit here. The photos don’t look crazy touched up. She’s got an achievable, healthy look and when i’m in training mode and look that good I dance around the house dressed like that.

You could substitute so many women for her in these pics and they would look try-hard, trashy, or just dumb. To me she looks effortlessly sexy and really natural, which I love.
She kind of has what Cindy Crawford has but a more relate-able, girl-next-door kind of a way. Very very pretty imo.

Right?
I thinks it’s the lack of hair extensions, extreme plastic surgery and if they used photoshop it was skillful and not heavy handed.

i like these pics. they’re not the usual “layers of make up, flooded with bright light, airbrushed and photoshopped to death”kind of pictures. and she still manages to look good. that’s real beauty.

she dropped “amber” in late 1990s. I thought I read somewhere she did it for professional reasons – grown-up roles need a grown-up name. Also, her Tiffani with an “i” and the hyphenated second name, kinda stripper.

She’s great fun on White Collar. That show just makes me ridiculously happy. It’s also nice that she plays the spouse of someone in law enforcement who isn’t constantly complaining about the danger or hours or whatever. She fell in love and knew the score when she married him. She and Tim DeKay are probably my favorite TV marriage.

I think she is gorgeous and really youthful looking. But no no no – too much underwear. Seriously, girl, put some pants on! lol I think she would have been better doing the whole strategically placed angora/cashmere sweater thing which looks relaxed and casual, but also manages to leave things to the imagination…if the aim of the shoot was to go for this whole bed-head, chilling at home look.
Tiffany is too classy to be showing her pants. Leave that to the Beyonces and Rihannas.

ITA. True, someone made a good point that the Blanchetts & Strepes of this world aren’t doing this, but she’s always been a sex symbol so it’s a good fit here.
She’s a beautiful woman who took care of herself and is natural except for the boobs apparently! Until I was reading others posts I always thought she was natural.

For some reason, I started intensely disliking her when she went blonde. Just seemed so generic. Glad she is back to brunette. She reminds me of a Bond girl, Holly Goodhead (ug!) who was a scientist of some variety. Thiessen would have made a much more convincing nuclear physicist than Denise Richards.
I also don’t like the shots of her lounging around in her undies. Don’t your kids sit on that sofa? Not saying women shouldn’t feel free to roam around their own houses sans pants(and if I had her figure I would do it a lot!), but why document it for all to see?

I disagree that she looks like she’s in her 20s – she looks like she’s in her 30s, but IMO she looks way better now then she did back then. Now she looks sultry and voluptuous; in the 90210 days she just looked cheap and trashy. Fashion choices might be part of that.

Yea that was due to the terrible 90′s fashion and the make-up choices back then were just so heavy handed and blah.

I always thought she was so gorgeous, just a pretty, pretty face, not all that plastic-surgeried fillers/fish lips look that’s so rampant as she gets older. Her face is very soft and pretty.
Her boobs were amazing. I had a friend who had big boobs like that when we were in high school. She blossomed really early. Three of us were unddressing to get in our bikinis at about the age of 19. My friend and I had cute figures, but the other friend I was stunned at her nude. They were like really high melons, spectacular not even a bit of a droop. Always kind of like how I imagine Scarlett’s boobs to be. Talk about boob envy that day. LOL
The photoshoot looks like her husband took some snapshots or like she answered an ad to model for some “photographer” and goes to his cheap apartment and takes some cheesecake photos as he begs you to take your top off. LOL

IDK, getting a compliment from someone who is obviously objectifying your body sort of takes the warm fuzzies out of such an exchange.
I think it’s one thing to address beauty and the sexiness someone possesses, but I think I’d be grossed out if someone like Howard Stern said he liked my boobs over other boobs.

She was cast on Saved by the Bell at age fifteen (1989); were you younger than that at the time? She graduated from high school at eighteen (in 1992). If she was born in 1974, which those years seem to back up, then she’s 38. It’s just hard to believe that someone who’s been in the public eye since childhood could pull a fast one and stay the same age for a few years.

Tacky, tacky, tacky and obviously (yet another) attention-seeking ploy. She is one of those celebs who seems to encourage the paps and constantly puts herself out there to get media exposure — e.g. posts pictures of herself and her young child on twitter, instagram, etc. Who does that?? You don’t see celebs like Halle, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman etc., posting updates on their children via social media. They just go on about their business and the only photos are pap photos – taken WITHOUT their permission.
