She's beautiful.  Reminds me of Jean Rhys quote - "Have all beautiful things sad destinies?" from her novel, Wide Sargasso Sea.  Even though her size is what I would consider fat on a modern woman today, I still consider her gorgeous.

She WAS beautiful and her buxom body was the style of the day.

I  have resisted posting old women, who were awesome in their prime, because I already have way too many things working against me, which set me completely apart from those i would like to get to know here.

Have you followed the career of Natalie Wood? (she went through several phases of beauty - I am partial to brunettes, even though I have made buttloads of money photographing properly blondes. Blondes are difficult to photograph without losing a bit of theri details to the massive deficiencies inherent to the photographic process. Phhotographing blondes was a talent that came from my understanding of the value of light. Black women are almost as difficult to photograph well. I basically applied the same set of my personal tools to make them look their best. It is mostly about compressing the intensity of the light to a value that the film, dating myself, or digital processor can actually capture. Simple to me, impossible for those who mostly photograph neutrals and only see things within a narrow band of light values)

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I never knew you were a photographer :P Natalie Wood was awesome in West Side Story. I need to check out more films of hers. I'm also obsessed with Jean Rhys :laugh: however there aren't that many pictures of her out there unfortunately.

Nice. I have always enjoyed seeing high budget fashion shoots. Never really got to do any, so I had to fake it.

Then don't. Rats are cheap (if legal) and easy to care for, but unfortunately, short-lived.

Mum is not letting me have a pet.  Bitch.  She let my sister have a hamster, even though the last time my sister handled that poor creature must have been at least a couple of months ago   >:(  I must have handled him more times than she ever did!

As for being short-lived, I think 3 years is plenty  :laugh:  Obviously nothing compared to cats or dogs but I kinda like it that way.

"I’m fearless in my heart.
They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."
