So today is the 5th anniversary of the creation of this blog, though postings in the first 2 years were pretty sporadic. The blog has evolved over the years and not even I know where it may go in the future. I have been blown away by how many people have found this blog and seem to enjoy it. Over 800,000 views in 5 years and now averaging 1,000 views per day from around the world. Half the views are from the USA and half from around the world with France and Germany on average around 10% each. The rest mainly come from other parts of Europe, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and from a smattering of Islamic nations. There are only 6 countries/territories/islands in the world that have not accessed this blog at some point (5 central African nations and stupid Turkmenistan). The most viewed pictures have been from all categories – I like a variety of things, as you can tell, and don’t want to make this blog solely about any one subject such as vintage movie stars or shirtless men.

One of the best things about this blogging experience is that I’ve met 2 funny and informative people through it, something I never anticipated by throwing up pictures on the net. Dan in Guadalajara has been a great contributor and very informative. Daniel has been extremely funny and helpful and I am glad that we actually met this summer, him coming from a long distance to visit me on my island (yes, I really do live on an island). There have been close to 2,000 comments so far. Please feel free to add info, links, critiques, and corrections. However, keep it civil. Thankfully there have only been a handful of snarky comments over the years (which I do not approve for posting). Rudeness is never attractive, darlings.

I get the images you see here on my blog from 100s of sites I visit regularly each month or hit upon by chance. I am torn about the whole issue of linking to sources for a variety of reasons: This isn’t Tumblr so there is no automatic link to a source page, the source got it from others reblogging it a 1000 times; it would add a lot of time doing links and I don’t have unlimited free time; and since I do get pix from all over I couldn’t possibly remember where I got each one. As a new feature I will try to sporadically give some links to various pages that might be of interest. As always, if you own an image or it is copyrighted please drop me a note and I will either remove it or give proper credit where credit is due. I don’t make any $ from this site and do not link to commercial sites or, as yet, any sites with nude images.

Now on with the show!
