Our Mexican Riviera cruise aboard Carnival's ship "The Pride"
At 17 feet, this statue of David wasn't to hard to miss while
dining at David's restaurant. He was the most photographed
object on the ship. Except people taking pictures of one another.
I used to look like him, but over the years I shrunk to 6' 2"
The pink skirted panties with pink lace camisole offer some modesty while being a bit sexy and VERY girly !

Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
But above all there are costs involved as well.
Equipment, props and model fees, not to mention time,
are all "out-of-pocket" expenses for the artist.

A Cham woman poses for the camera at a sand dune in Phan Rang, central Vietnam. The Chams are muslims and the women wear headscarves. This woman was a bit shy at first but after a few minutes and some encouragement she began to relax and open up in front of the camera. I like how her headscarf kept part of her face in the shade.
A ghoonghat is a headcovering or headscarf, worn in the Indian subcontinent, by some married Hindu, Jain and Sikh women to cover their heads, and often their faces.
In ghoonghat practice, facial veiling observed by married women is known as Laaj (Sanskrit: लज्जा, Lajja - modesty, honor). In veiling practice, it literally means "To keep (one's) modesty, shame and honor".
... and setting modesty aside, I sometimes can't believe that there is a man, me, behind these photos! What I mean is that regardless of beauty values, which is subjective, I don't find too many traces of the man I am, in Cristy's images.
This is the case for so many of us and it is admirable how proficient we can get in the art of feminine illusion; with the proper use of countless enhancers. Most of the enhancers are used by women but some are specific for men who want to look like women. Thank God for female vanity and present day technology!

... y dejando la modestia por un lado, a veces no puedo creer que sea un hombre, yo, el que está detrás de estas fotos! Lo que quiero decir es que sin entrar en valores de belleza, que son subjetivos, me cuesta encontrar rasgos del hombre que soy, en las fotos de Cristy.
Este es el caso de la mayoría de nosotras y es admirable lo diestras que nos podemos volver en le arte de la ilusión femenina; con la ayuda de incontables artilugios. La mayoría de estos artilugios son utilizados por las mujeres pero algunos son específicos para hombres que pretendemos lucir como mujeres. ¡Hay que dar gracias a Dios por la vanidad femenina y por la tecnología actual!
"Modesty is invisibility...Never forget it. To be seen--to be seen--is to be...penetrated. What you must be girls, is impenetrable."

There is a special kind of smile that does not reject a compliment — it simply pretends to be modest for one more second.
A small pause, closed eyes, a softened face.
The compliment has already reached her, but the answer still keeps its gentle playfulness.
Dedicated to Lelya, goddess of love.

.....another vignette on those fallen, stripped tree trunks, seen amidst the shreds of bark still hanging on, the algae and the fungal rhizoids ....
If you were beginning to form the opinion that I enjoy the soft sensual caress of satin on my skin, then you'd be correct
"La semplicità è compagna della verità come la modestia è del sapere."
"Simplicity is the companion of truth as modesty is of the knowledge."

Some modesty issues to deal with when wearing a dress with a slit like that - and yes there's a similar one on the other side! A shot from the 2006 archives - there's another pic of the dress already on here ...
