John is a graphic artist in the Toronto area. This would make a great tattoo design. Not that I’m into tats or would ever get one, but it would be cool. John has a most excellent website under his nom-de-net “Sissydude” but I won’t (directly) link to it here because he does post some nude pix along with lots of interesting articles, pictures, illustrations, and assorted images. The occasional nudity doesn’t bother me (um, no one has ever accused me of being a prude) but my blog/site isn’t about porn or being a portal to any site with porn.

Best known for her role as Vida in the original “Mildred Pierce”.

Love the floral neck piece!

When I was a kid my family lived in Switzerland for a couple of years. This castle was at the other end of Lac Leman/Lake Geneva where we lived but we visited it many times on weekends. You can’t tell by these pictures put the mountains are towering over the castle both behind it, to one side, and across the lake. Stunning location, and in the huge dining room/ballroom along the lake side of the castle you could hear the waves splashing down below. I visited it later on when I was a teenager and me and a couple of friends, by mistake, stayed after closing time and actually got locked in the dungeon. Only for a short while though.
