Draped in crimson satin and bathed in moody light, she embodies raw confidence and sensuality. The contrast of soft elegance and natural beauty makes for a striking visual statement—unapologetic, alluring, and powerful.
This, the result of the Nor'Easter, caused my property more damage than Sandy. Still, nothing compared to the shore...
This is a pretty special roll for me. Lots of cool pictures and happiness. Also some pics of me taken but others.
From an Olympic Summer in 2012 after graduating. It was a cracker.

It's always interesting trying to figure out how my photos fit within the safety level on flickr. Boobs, for example, are subject to a wide variety of different opinions as to their offensiveness.
I think that fair's fair. If it's OK to see a male naked chest, it's OK to see a female naked chest. And, just like it's still OK to see a chubby guy with a hairy chest in public, it's also still OK for women to nurse in public without harassment.
Naturally, one might assume that I'm just expressing this opinion because I want to see women walking around topless all the time. Maybe that's true. But I like the idea of the "Topfree equality movement" anyway. And I like that there's a different term than just "topless".
Art often refers to visceral, basic needs. Fire, to celebrate that which we harnessed to go from mildly intelligent monkey-things to industrious humans. Harvest and hunting and gathering, to celebrate that which allows us to continue to exist. And the presence of boobs in art goes all the way back to the beginnings of art with the Venus figurines. All with enlarged abdomens, hips, breasts, thighs, and vulva. All major and important parts of the baby-making factory that women end up carying around.
One must respect the bits and bobs of the baby-making factory. Do you think we could fit a fully-automated semiconductor fab to make robots in that small and compact of a package?
So I'm content to show bare breasts on models that are comfortable to have them shown. But does this offend everybody else? Hard to say. My new boss tells a story with a punch line of "Had I seen you surfing porn at work, that would be OK. But browsing for new toilets? That's just wrong!" Personally, I think that the hand-bra shots that people use to get around the shock and horror of seeing bare nipples are more offensively erotic.

It snowed for the first time this winter in the Boston suburbs today. This photo is to celebrate! I used Orton on the curtains and window only and sharpened the trees a bit.

This piece was the center of the metal, and the first piece cut out- its spectacular. I was so impressed with it that I put it up on my website at 3 times my usual price for a pendant. It sold within 4 hours. I think there's a lesson there, somewhere.
I get bored of making pendants sometimes- its such a small piece of metal there's very little to do, really, Do the other day I took piece about 4 inches square, and just started folding and hammering, and unfolding and pulling things apart, and then when I was satisfied, I started cutting it where things looked complete. These are the best of the lot.

The black symbolises the Aboriginal people, the red represents the earth and the colour of ochre used in Aboriginal ceremonies, and the circle of yellow represents the sun, the constant renewer of life.
My Moana doll is deboxed and standing, supported by the included display stand. She is holded her oar in her right hand, and her cape is draped over her left arm.
Detailed photos of my second edition Disney Store Limited Edition Moana 16 inch doll. I got her in person on release day, Tuesday March 7, 2017. She is #3031 of 5500.
She has a red feather cape and bodice (actually made of satin). The bodice is decorated with white seashells. She has a red scalloped waistband. Her skirt is 3/4 length, made of up layers of multicolored leaves and grass. It has simulated water droplets. She has a leaf and flower headdress, a shell necklace that opens up, red feather arm band and a leaf and seashell anklet. The armband and anklet are made of cloth and not plastic (as was the case with the first Moana LE doll). They also did a very good job of hiding the joints on arms and legs of this doll, again improving on the first edition. Her face also has a more pleasant expression than the first one. She has sand on her bare feet. The only area where the first doll has a definite edge is the inclusion of the Pua and Hei Hei figures. The second Moana has no accessories except for her oar, which is identical to the one included with the first doll.
I show Moana boxed, being deboxed and fully deboxed. She isn't too stable free standing, so I put her on the included display stand for the photos after deboxing her.
classic design, just the couple on top adds a modern twist ;)
Flowers and ivy are gumpaste, everything else is fondant.
Thanks for looking!
The George Washington Bridge is a toll suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting Washington Heights in the Manhattan to Fort Lee in New Jersey by means of Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1/9. U.S. Route 46 ends halfway across the bridge at the state border. Initially named the Hudson River Bridge, it was renamed in honor of George Washington, who fortified positions on both ends--Fort Washington and Fort Lee--during the American Revolutionary War. The GWB is one of the world's busiest bridges in terms of vehicle traffic. It carries over 100,404,000 vehicles annually, with current AADT daily estimates of nearly 300,000.
Groundbreaking began in October 1927, as a project of the Port of New York Authority, under chief engineer Othmar Ammann, and architect Cass Gilbert. Dedicated on October 24, 1931, and opened to traffic the following day, it had the longest main span in the world. At 1,067 m (3,500 ft) it nearly doubled the previous record held by the Ambassador Bridge, only to be eclipsed by the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937 and many others over the years, including New York's own Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964. The total length of the bridge is 1,451 m (4,760 ft).
As originally built, the bridge offered six lanes of traffic, but in 1946, two additional lanes were provided on what is now the upper level. A second, lower deck, which had been anticipated in Ammann's original plans, was added, opening to the public on August 29, 1962 and increasing capacity by 75 percent. It also originally planned for the towers to be encased in concrete and granite but cost considerations during the Great Depression and favorable aesthetic critiques of the bare steel towers, resulted in the exposed steel towers, with their distinctive criss-crossed bracing, which have become one of the bridge's most identifiable characteristics.
The George Washington Bridge is home to the world's largest free-flying American flag, which is flown on on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and September 11. The flag, located under the upper arch of the New Jersey tower, drapes vertically for 90 feet.. The flag's stripes are approximately 5 feet wide and the stars measure about 4 feet in diameter.
The George Washington Bridge was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1981.
The George Washington Bridge was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1982.
