The TEMPLE Of CANDICE

 

 

Welcome to The TEMPLE Of CANDICE, dedicated to the most beautiful, most alluring, and loveliest woman in history or mythology.

The photos below are in two series: the first are in approximate chronological order, with heavy emphasis on approximate. The second series are subsequent finds and uploads, not in any particular order but dated when possible. They tell the story not only of the alluring Candice Night but of the greatest love story ever in music.

Candice eight months pregnant with Autumn, circa April 2010.

One of the many things I’ve always loved about Candice is the way she never exploits her sexuality. Although she does show a bit of cleavage on occasion, most of the time she dresses up, and she never flashes her thighs or even her midriff, but here she is showing off the proud baby bump of the late term primigravida.

This and the next four images are screengrabs from a high quality video uploaded to the Blackmore’s Night YouTube channel on May 27, 2022. It was taken in Germany on August 14, 2005, when Candice was 34 years old.

A young Candice with Ritchie and the guys, apparently some time in the 1990s.

Candice unwraps her YouTube 100,000 subscriber award. This video was uploaded to YouTube on September 13, 2023. It’s difficult to believe this woman is 52 years old. She looks even lovelier than when I first saw her nearly half a lifetime ago.
