Of all the latexmon I've found at last I found a Legendary one :) I was told the shiny storys of the powerful thunder latex lizard of the rubber canyons of the shineing sand sea. Its name its Saurstorm. Its so powerful that shiny storms of latex polish lube rain follows it. But as I'm a latex goddess its like a little latex ladybug to my endless latex powers, tee he, so into my latex poke ball you go :)

The legendary German pilot Elly Beinhorn on arrival to Helsinki in the summer of 1952 (on the right). Beinhorn covered the Helsinki summer olympics for the German magazine Quick as a "flying reporter". The plane is Beinhorn´s Piper J-3C-65 Cub HB-OAM . The other lady on this picture is Gisela von Bonin, the wife of the photographer, Volker von Bonin. The original photo, here with my colorization, is in the Helsinki city museum collection (N210168)
"Elly Beinhorn, referred to as “one of the most daring women of the 20th century” on the inside cover of her autobiography Alleinflug (Solo Flight), was born in Hannover, Germany in 1907 as the only child of a merchant family. In 1928 she was so fascinated by a lecture she attended held by the trans-Atlantic aviator Hermann Köhl that she immediately applied for acceptance to the Berlin-Staaken amateur pilot school. She received her amateur pilot license in the spring of 1929, and shortly thereafter she acquired her stunt pilot license at the flying school in Würzburg. Additional pilot licenses were to follow.
In 1931 she took off on her first solo flight to Africa. After a four-day-long trek through the desert, with the aid of locals she survived an emergency landing during her return flight to Europe, returning safely to Germany: “My emergency landing caused more headlines than my wildest flights.”
Several months later the 24-year-old ventured to circle the world in her Klemm KL-20 airplane. The flight took her via southern Asia to Port Darwin in Australia, where she boarded a ship to Panama. From there she flew via the Cordilleras to the east coast of South America, arriving in Buenos Aires on July 23, 1932.
In 1933 Elly Beinhorn was awarded the Hindenburg Cup, the highest German honor for an amateur aviator. With her famous Messerschmidt Me 108, which she christened “Typhoon”, in 1935 she flew from Gleiwitz in Silesia to Scutari on the Bosporus and back to Berlin in one day: 3,470 km in 13-1/2 hours.
In 1936 Beinhorn married the famous racecar driver Bernd Rosemeyer, who died in a car accident two years later, only ten weeks after the birth of their son Bernd. She remarried in 1941 and within a year gave birth to a much-longed-for daughter, whom she named Stephanie. After the war Beinhorn-Rosemeyer reapplied for and received her pilot licenses in Switzerland in 1951. Once the flying ban was lifted in Germany, she successfully participated in numerous competitions.
Since 1932, Elly Beinhorn-Rosemeyer has written a number of highly popular books on her life as an aviator and as the wife of a world-renowned racecar driver. After 5,000 mostly solo flight hours, at 72 she turned in her pilot licenses. Her conclusion: “I was fortunate to be able to fly at a time when flying was still a real adventure. I experienced that marvelous, independent era when one had the sky all to oneself!”
Elly Beinhorn-Rosemeyer has received countless honors in the course of her long life, however she has never considered herself to be a 'star'. She has consistently supported the recognition of women aviators."

Here are my picks from last years convention, I did get Hamptons Poppy and Not Pretending Eden, but I got them nude, so I didn't include them here.
Obsession convention is just around the corner, so I wanted to check my picks from last year.
While I was taking this photo I remembered that Legendary Status Agnes - silver variation should be here as well, but she is still in transport - Baroness probably decided to take a rest somewhere :)
Anyway, Adele is my favorite here. She is just perfect overall as a doll. Outfit, screening, hairstyle... everything is just perfect.
Kesenia is a very close second favorite, just love her face. While Dania is a keeper for sure, I still can not say I bond with her. BTW this is the second time those long gloves are on my doll, I decided to put them on for this photo and it is just a sufferening getting them on long nails hands. Fashion does hurt :)))
Korine was bought before I saw production doll and from this point I have to say that was a mistake. The only reason why she is in my collection is her lovely hair, but she will probably end up being a body donor. I got Natalia because she was rather cheap and the fact she is my first 1.0 Nat, so I was curious. While she is rather pretty she is very close being thrown on "for sale" pile.
Now, the inevitable question: Did I miss any that I like? Intimate Soiree Agnes comes to mind, while she might be too severe for my taste, there is something about her that is calling me. Aside her, I would say I am good.
A northbound sand train with 2 Cartiers is in the siding at Port Allegany waiting for the DFT to get in the clear with their stone before resuming their work and heading north. This is a meeting of different eras, as NS GEs dominated the scene here alongside their Canadian counterparts during NS's last years of operating the Buffalo Line as a through route for traffic moving between Harrisburg and Buffalo. For those of us out today, this is maybe the last time that we'll get to see a shred of the pre-mothballing and WNYP days that us younger guys missed out on.
Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated!
This is a realistic/soft HDR shot of my Rollei 35 SE with the exceptional Zeiss Sonnar 2.8/40mm lens. I used it for almost 2 decades. I love tiny cameras. It measures only 95mm across (less than 4 inches). I still have it, although I have not used it for a long time. You see many scratches and dents - I dropped this camera many times, never had any issues. Battery optional!
Have you used the Rollei 35? Please share your story if you have.
The Rollei 35 was revolutionary - it was the smallest full frame 35 in the world. Over two million Rollei 35 cameras have been sold since 1970. The initial production was in Germany using Zeiss lenses. Later the production shifted to Singapore, with lenses made by Rollei under license from Zeiss. The camera is still manufactured today in small batches by DHW Fototechnik.

The offspring from this illicit union between angels and human women were giants who “became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” (Genesis 6) The fact that they were giants, is also proof in and of itself that their parentage was superhuman. But these giants were evil. Having been born of corrupted, Satanic angels they dominated the Earth and filled it with violence. It is also interesting to note that the Bible calls them “men of renown.” The Hebrew word here, shem, refers to being famous and legendary. It is as if the Bible is indicating that when the reader hears of legends of “demigods”, titans or legendary heroes who were part god, that this is who those “myths” were referring to. These were ‘men’ of superhuman ability and strength. In addition to causing violence and sin in the world, the Nephilim were also corrupting the human bloodline.
The Nephilim giants spread violence and sin that: “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Humanity was on the verge of being wiped out with no hope of being saved from sin if every person born became part fallen angel. Thus God judged the Earth with the flood.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise
thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel… - Gen. 3:15 (KJV)
The word seed, in this above verse, means “semen virile;” hence “offspring,” “posterity,” and “descendants.”[2] We know there were groups of human beings with truly human blood: Adam, the Adamites, and other pre-Adamites. We also know there had begun to be offspring on the earth with mixed
blood - those with blood of the Serpent (such as Cain). We’ll now discover there would be more crossbred-offspring - via these fallen angels, as well; and we’ll discover what it all would mean to the Genesis 3:15
Prophecy.
To begin, the mixing of human and fallen angelic blood was not in God’s plan for the human race, as far as “kind after kind.” There would be entirely new groups of people emerging.What was so wrong with the mixing of humans and Nephilim, other than this? First off, we’ve already mentioned that these crossbred offspring weren’t really meant for this earth. The reason? A number of genetic disturbances developed because of it. Some of these mixed offspring could have turned out normally - similar to other human beings; many others did not. There were a number of those either
much bigger or smaller than their human counterparts.Many were giants, physical giants: On the earth there once were giants.- Homer (circa 400 B. C.)[20]
The ancient genomes, one from a Neanderthal and one from a different archaic human group, the Denisovans, were presented on 18 November at a meeting at the Royal Society in London. They suggest that interbreeding went on between the members of several ancient human-like groups living in Europe and Asia more than 30,000 years ago, including an as-yet unknown human ancestor from Asia.
“What it begins to suggest is that we’re looking at a ‘Lord of the Rings’-type world — that there were many hominid populations,” says Mark Thomas, an evolutionary geneticist at University College London who was at the meeting but was not involved in the work.
The first Neanderthal and the Denisovan genome sequences revolutionized the study of ancient human history, not least because they showed that these groups interbred with anatomically modern humans, contributing to the genetic diversity of many people alive today.
All humans whose ancestry originates outside of Africa owe about 2% of their genome to Neanderthals; and certain populations living in Oceania, such as Papua New Guineans and Australian Aboriginals, got about 4% of their DNA from interbreeding between their ancestors and Denisovans, who are named after the cave in Siberia’s Altai Mountains where they were discovered. The cave contains remains deposited there between 30,000 and 50,000 years ago.
Those conclusions however were based on low-quality genome sequences, riddled with errors and full of gaps, David Reich, an evolutionary geneticist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts said at the meeting. His team, in collaboration with Svante Pääbo at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have now produced much more complete versions of the Denisovan and Neanderthal genomes — matching the quality of contemporary human genomes. The high-quality Denisovan genome data and new Neanderthal genome both come from bones recovered from Denisova Cave.
The new Denisovan genome indicates that this enigmatic population got around: Reich said at the meeting that they interbred with Neanderthals and with the ancestors of human populations that now live in China and other parts of East Asia, in addition to Oceanic populations, as his team previously reported. Most surprisingly, Reich said, the new genomes indicate that Denisovans interbred with another extinct population of archaic humans that lived in Asia more than 30,000 years ago, which is neither human nor Neanderthal.
The meeting was abuzz with conjecture about the identity of this potentially new population of humans. “We don’t have the faintest idea,” says Chris Stringer, a paleoanthropologist at the London Natural History Museum, who was not involved in the work. He speculates that the population could be related to Homo heidelbergensis, a species that left Africa around half a million years ago and later gave rise to Neanderthals in Europe. “Perhaps it lived on in Asia as well,” Stringer says.
The earliest known Egyptian pyramid is the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. It was built during the third dynasty, 2630-2611 BC and the pyramid and its surrounding complex are said to have been designed by Imhotep. Not the scary figure from the Mummy-movies but the architect and vizier of pharaoh Djoser. Imhotep was skilled in all areas of administration and royal enterprises and he was also a priest, writer, a doctor and the founder of the Egyptian studies of astronomy and architecture. Imhotep was also seen as a god, the God of Healing, and he was called the son of Ptah. Ptah was one of five major Egyptian gods with Re, Isis, Osiris and Amun. The name Imhotep means "the one that comes in peace" but where he came from is unknown. From statues of him we can see that he had Caucasian features and the long head of the pharaohs even if he was not a pharaoh.
Djoser's mummy has not been found, but what is remarkable about his pyramid is all the storage rooms plus a large maze of corridors and chambers dug beneath it. Massive amounts of seeds like wheat, barley, grape, tomato and figs - along with 40.000 storage vessels has been found so far. Egyptologists claim this to be for the king's afterlife but would he need such a large amount of seeds in a theological heaven?
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, made by the government of Norway deep inside a mountain on the remote and cold island of Svalbard, is a "doomsday" seed bank that stores backup copies of millions of different crop varieties in case of a worldwide catastrophe. Is it possible that also all the seeds in Djoser's storage rooms were meant to be in case of catastrophe - to restart the Egyptian civilisation?
Imhotep diagnosed and treated over 200 diseases; he performed surgery and practiced some dentistry. He has a remarkable degree of medical knowledge. The prescriptions in his ancient documents not only can compare with pharmaceutical preparations of today but many of the remedies also had therapeutic merit, Yes, many of his ancient remedies survived into the 20th century and some remain in
Akenaten.Semen and ejaculation are actually a strong part of ancient Egyptian god myths: there's an extended episode in which Set and Horus, two male gods, have what's essentially a semen-battle. Set tries to seduce Horus, but Horus throws Set's semen in the river, and then tricks him into eating lettuce smeared with Horus's semen. When the other gods try to figure out who "won" this particular fight, they summon both bits of sperm, and Horus wins, because he got Set to "swallow". Horus's semen becomes a lovely gold disc of shame around Set's head.The Horus and Seth story ends with the father, Osiris, declaring his son, Horus, his legitimate heir. Seth is brought as a bound prisoner, a game that was played by post-pubescent boys, and Isis closes the ceremony with a declaration of Horus’s new identity.
Hathor’s role in the Horus and Seth story may be that of the female entertainer, because, at a time when Pre Harakhty was sulking “she uncovered her nakedness before him, thereupon the great god laughed at her.” Literally, she ‘uncovered her vagina’, and judging from the lion’s flank determinative, she exposed her vagina by bending forward, a popular pose among the relatively few pornographic pictures we have from ancient Egypt. The way the words are written, the sexual act is implied, but not expressly stated. The sun-god nevertheless emerges from his depression with satisfaction. Perhaps someone can come up with another example where laughter is a euphemism for orgasm.
The point here is that Hathor used her sexuality here not for reproduction, but for entertainment, or, perhaps healing, in the sense of curing a depression
Did Imhotep also have knowledge of genetics? Is it possible that he with his superior medical skills tried to restore the pharaoh's dwindling power and knowledge? Had interbreeding with local people changed the divine pharaohs mental capacities, did their long skulls get shorter and shorter and the brain capacities smaller and smaller? Did he try to recreate the former race that once had come from the north - the race that he himself most probably had inherited his impressive brain capacities from? Is that why the pharaoh Akenaten not only had a long skull but also female features like breasts and a wide hip? And Akenaten's daughters had even longer skulls and that his son Tutankhamun's DNA (from his mummy) has revealed that he was not an Egyptian but had come from the north?
Denisovans are the famous Nephilim?

The world, thanks to Cain and the Serpent, was now on the slow pathway to self-destruction. We also know Cain, through his “ways,” was doing the exact opposite that God had planned for him. Adam had fallen a long time before this. The whole working world of the Garden had forever changed. The other fallen, corporeal angels of the Garden probably felt vindicated, at least in their minds. Cain began to influence the developing societies around him with these anti-God religious beliefs. Cain, the Serpent, and now these other fallen angels were being held in high regard - for their “other worldly” knowledge. This would, eventually, give them their “bargaining chips,” to get themselves whatever they wanted.
The rest of the fallen angels, also known as the Nephilim, wanted their place in this post-Adamic world.
The power grid had changed; and these fallen angels aimed to keep it that way. We recall the prophecy, as stated by God to the Serpent: Here we finally arrive at the Nephilimas a means of addressing the genetic evidence that the effective human population never dropped below a few thousand.27 Genesis 6 is the enigmatic story leading up to Noah’s flood,
in which the “sons of God” found the “daughters of
men” to be beautiful and took them as wives. These
unions were an anathema to God, and the offspring
are identifi ed with their own name, the Nephilim,
of which some became known as “mighty men” or
“men of renown.” There are three common explanations
offered: angels marrying human women, noblemen or tyrant rulers marrying commoners, or the righteous line of Seth intermarrying with the unrighteous line of Cain.28 Substantive objections can be raised for each of these arguments. Angels intermarrying with humans fails because Christ explicitly
stated that angels neither marry nor are given in
marriage (Mark 12).29 Noblemen intermarrying with
commoners is a stretch because this would not have
been objectionable to God, and would not have produced
offspring with any unusual physical attributes.

"It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?"
quote from "Blade Runner"
Throughout Japan's history, masks have been used in rituals and performances. The performer dons a mask representing a certain individual, hero, deity, devil, ghost, or legendary animal, depending on the ritual or performance. Masks have been used in Japan since the Jomon period (10,000 BC- 300BC). Some of these masks were formed from clay, others were made of cloth. It is unclear as to the use of these masks other than they played a part in some forms of magic or shamanistic rituals of those times. They may have been used to cover the faces of the dead or used as talismans to deflect malevolent spirits. There is some speculation that perhaps they were votive offerings used to treat medical problems. The subsequent Yayoi (300BC -AD 300) and Kofun periods (300 - 552) appear to be a slack period from the lack of artifacts related to masks. There is a mask fragment that has been dated to the Kofun period. The fragment is a different wood and constructed differently compared to later gigaku masks. So it is unlikely that these periods were completely devoid of masks.
The masks that we are the most familiar with are those used in dance, theater, festivals, and Shinto and Buddhist rituals. Many of these masks were used in ritualized and religious traditions, specifically Buddhist, which were brought from the mainland of Asia. Masks are made from a number of different materials such as: clay, dry lacquer, cloth, paper and wood. The majority of masks are carved from wood and are painted with a layer of lacquer, and most are primed with a kaolin clay cover with polychromatic pigments. The construction of masks has changed very little over the last five hundred years.

My new Leica MP 0.72 with Summilux 50mm f1.4 version 2 to match. This version of Summilux is of course the smallest and has the most character in my humble opinion. The asph version is really too sharp.
Everything about the legendary MP is minimal, handling is superb, cocking is smooth like butter, shutter is extremely quiet and view finder is bright as the sun. This will be my final all mechanical Leica and I will only shoot with this from now on and of course with the fantastic M Hexanon Limited 50mm f1.2 too ;)
did i mention
that i stayed a couple of nights
at a religious commune
down in Lurin?
i thought i did ... maybe not
but i did and i'm not making this up,
least ways,
i'm not making up the important parts
but i may not be able to tell you
which is which,
so you'll have to figure that out
on your own.
well, i got settled in and all
and had some coffee
and took a walk around the place
and it was getting to be early evening
when everybody started showing up
wearing white robes with hoods
and they asked me
if i wanted to join in the service
which looked like it involved
getting together in a separate building
with candles & stuff
and sitting in a circle and kneeling
with maybe some scraping and bowing
throwed in, i don’t know,
and i didn't want to be rude or nothing
but i allowed as how
i instead would rather maybe
sit outside & maybe smoke a cigar,
so i did.
and so i sat there on old garden bench
beneath a sad ass trellis
with some scrawny looking bougainvillea
up above me,
smoking a cigar,
as i was saying.
but to tell you the truth
i got to feeling pretty good about life
as i watched the smoke from my cigar
curl up towards the heavens,
and later,
after all that whatever it was
that they was doing got done,
we was all sitting around a table
talking & we had us this big bucket
of these purple-looking conchitas
which we bought down on the dock
earlier in the day in Pucusana
and which we was eating them "a la parmesana"
and we was drinking red wine
(strictly for sacramental purposes
if you know what i'm saying)
and it was grey & dismal outside,
but it was warm & cheerful inside.
and so i let on that i believe in what i see
and try to see it the way it really is
& i can't get much beyond that,
and that the minute
someone starts telling you about things unseen,
you can be sure
that they've got something up their sleeve,
and it got kinda quiet for a few minutes
and then talk turned to other stuff
and we picked again with the conchitas
and the wine, as i was saying.
