Brolly Good Show!
Come rain or shine . . . I’m there for you-u-u-u-u! . . . I have no idea why my skin looks blotchy in the photo below. I almost scrapped the photo but decided overall it was worth posting, if nothing else just to give my critics something to feel smug about.
I really hate having to explain my wit-tastic titles, but sometimes it is just plain necessary. For those of you who are not familiar with the colloquialism, “brolly” is a British nickname for an umbrella. Also known as a “parasol” in some parts.
I would like you to know that I skipped lunch every day for two entire weeks in order to look good for this photo shoot.
Would anybody like to guess how much weight I lost? . . . You do not have to guess to the nearest ounce.
You sir, you over there in the trench-coat? What’s that? Oh, well, yes, it’s very nice . . . but is it available in adult size?
You were all wrong! . . . Not a single correct guess between you!
The amount of weight I lost in the past two weeks, by skipping a meal every day . . .

Why do they call this style of panties “boy shorts”? . . . Do I look like a boy?
[Granted, an attorney I worked with last year told me I behave like
“an 11-year old boy in a centrefold’s body!” By way of response, I just stuck-out my tongue and flounced away.]
“I was never one who was squeamish about nudity.” ~ Betty Page
It helps to wear one’s reading glasses when programming the camera. One might otherwise select the tiny “timer” icon instead of the one for “remote control”. At least I did not fall off the stool and hurt myself in my usual inimitable fashion.
No matter what anybody tells you, modelling IS hard work! Try also being the make-up artist AND hair-stylist AND wardrobe-wrangler AND photographer AND art director AND photo-editor!!
I bet none of you even noticed that I delicately threaded matching ribbons through my hair and sandals! THAT was a pain in the neck I can tell you!
I took these photos last weekend on two separate days. While I would not call this my “retirement shoot”, it may well be the last time I photograph myself fully nude [patience, dahlings, this is a nice slow striptease, the nudies will be along shortly]. Now, if I can just keep my personal stalker from “borrowing” photos of me to pretend they are of her . . . {Note to stalker: I work very hard at creating my artwork, kindly keep your psycho mitts off of it!!!!}
I was so relieved and hungry after the last photograph had been safely downloaded and stored that I bolted to the kitchen and cooked a bacon sandwhich on sourdough bread. With four full-sized rashers of bacon. And butter. And cheese. And ketchup.
Yes, sandwhich-making does count as “cooking” when it involves the use of a microwave and/or toaster oven.
Four hours later I bitch-slapped the MistressCard and bought a take-away dinner from a nearby restaurant. I gorged lasciviously on grilled salmon and shrimp, corn-on-the-cob, and fries. LOTS of fries. Dipped in mayonnaise. I also had a homemade top-shelf margarita with orange liqueur. A double-sized margarita. On the rocks.
After dinner I went to myPub™. I had four glasses of Chardonnay over the course of the evening. Except the fourth one did not count because I did not order it, did not want it, and only took two sips of it to be polite.
As I was driving home I found myself to have a vicious case of buzz-munchies. So I said the-hell-with-it . . . only what I really said was “fuck it”, but I will not write that here as only unimaginative writers resort to profanity. And Betty Page hated swear words of any kind.
After wrestling with my conscience — why, yes, I do have something that passes for an almost-conscience — I stopped at Jack Box’s most excellent drive-through. I spent my last $6.79 on a burger, fries, AND fried cheese sticks. I washed it all down with another glass of wine.
Guess how much weight I gained after that orgiastic food binge? Go ahead, I’ll wait right here while you get the calculator.
That’s right, I gained precisely not one pound. In fact, I lost half a pound.
Fucking middle age and its fickle weight fluctuations.

I honestly don’t know where you hide your “weight” because I certainly can’t see it!
Nice photos!

Incredipete: It’s all smoke and mirrors dahling! Well, that and some stretching and breathing-out … heh.
Taff: As I keep telling you and all the other guys who want to photograph me, then it would not be MY artwork! The whole point is that *I* create everything and control everything … although, maybe next time I’ll let you fiddle with the hair-styling, those ribbons were a royal pain!
It’s a slow day on the internet, I was wondering if anybody would leave a comment. I got a slew of emails about this post, though, so I thought for a while that nobody wanted to be associated with my website. Not that I could blame them … but then I noticed it’s slow on other people’s sites too … stupid holidays.

Sigh…and once again I fall in love.
It is just as well…unrequited love is much less messy

Awesome…every one of the shots is amazing and you have a fabulous ass and for that I hate you…okay I don’t hate you but damn I want your bum! and yes, I did notice the ribbon threaded through your hair, I was going to comment on it until you beat me to it. Oh wait, i guess I just commented on it…
Mmmmm bacon….
mmmmmm french fries….
You’re hot julia! hot, hot, hot!

I think they call em “Boy Shorts” because to call em “Oh Boy How Great Does She Look In Those Shorts” is much to long, and not really catchy.
Kudos to indulging in my all time favorite unhealthy sammich. Who needs lettuce and tomato when you got bacon?! If I want a salad, I’ll fix one (for the record I like salad, just not on my bacon).
Well, I guess I have nothing more to add. Keep up the great work!

A sharp mind and wicked sense of humor wrapped in such a beautiful encasement. Danjerous Kurves, indeed!

…work sucks monkey ass, and I have not had the time to devote to my usual blog surfing….
I noticed the ribbons…at first, though, I thought you had done some temporary highlights or something, then I looked more closely and saw the ribbons. Ok, so I didn’t know what they were, but I was hoping for some sort of fabric or trim rather than red licorice ropes. Heh.
Lovely photos. But Bettie Page and her non-profanity using self can bite my fucking ass.

Fabby: Oh but we can still make a mess of things!
Bee: Thank you! I love you, I love you! Believe it or not, I was highly self-conscious about my “low-slung” derriere for most of my life; believing that women’s arses were supposed to blend smoothly into their thighs with no crease. Then I saw Angelina Jolie naked in Gia and we have the same type-of arse! AND Rose McGowan in Grindhouse has the same type!! Of course, these days I have to bend over a little to make the cellulite disappear …
Nuke: I like bacon bits in (some of) my salads!!
Voice: ~sigh~ thank you … ~eg~
Doug: As always, a pleasure my friend!!
Loopy: I can’t get past “monkey ass” for long enough to think of a witty comeback!

Anyone who could look at those photos and feel smug is blind. Unless they’re you. You can feel as smug as you want to.

Wow, I picked a fun day for a first visit.
