Let's discuss health care in the Lounge.

[Kali]

1. If I had better (or any) health care

I might be able to wear a bikini in public again.:P

[rug]

3. At least you won't have anachronistic tan lines.

[Z_I_Peevey]

6. Anachronistic Tan Lines...

dibs on the band name.

[Kali]

11. oh no shit!

good one!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. That's impossible.

Bikinis won't be invented until the year 2136.

[rug]

4. Even potential sex threads in GD disintegrate.

[azmouse]

5. I'm shocked, shocked I say, to hear of arguing in GD!!

:7 OK... not really.

[rug]

7. I like the posting of dueling photos of 50s bikinis.

[Archae]

8. It looks like TMZ.com got suckered, big time.

So did a lot of posters in GD.

[rug]

9. Hey, now, we're here to discuss the phenemenon, not the merits.

[Archae]

10. Can we discuss bikinis instead?

I do like staying abreast of the topic... :evilgrin:

[Call Me Wesley]

12. Phew, I'm glad it was only this, and not this:

[old mark]

13. I have seen that guy somewhere before.....

In California, I think.......


mark

[rug]

19. Gah!

[NNadir]

22. Um...um...even in the Lounge, I think pornography is verboten.

[seabeyond]

14. lmao. that was funny. (lounge discussing health care, lol)

though only cause of the whole of your post

[rug]

20. To be fair, smoking while breast feeding raises health issues.

[seabeyond]

21. grinnin, .... ya ya ya, while at olive garden. nt

[Demoiselle]

15. I saw this thread earlier today ..

and couldn't get over the bile generated. It is amazing how people can shout and snarl right past each other, even on a keyboard.
I wanted to tell them that I once wore string bikinis long long ago in a galaxy that was far away and a lot thinner, but it sure as hell wasn't as far back as the '50's.
But I figured they'd insist that I prove it.

[Pithlet]

16. They would have eaten you alive.

Bikinis were in evidence on every man woman and child in the 1950's, don't you know. They have pictures to prove it.

[sarge43]

17. Next they'll be arguing about the great toilet paper controversy - over or under. n/t

[Demoiselle]

18. Controversy? Surely there's no controversy.

Anyone who chooses "over" is clearly a right wing pervert.

[Capn Sunshine]

26. wait, what?

just because they do it that way at the Four Seasons doesn't make it right wing!

[kentauros]

23. I'd rather have a poll

on bikini atolls

[rug]

25. How come they can post nude photos but we can't?

[kentauros]

28. We can, too.

So long as it's art:


Wilhelm Trübner - Kentaurenpaar im Wald (1878)

:D

[rug]

29. Oooh, you've breathed new life into this thread.

Sorolla demonstrates exquisite brushwork with the silk.

[kentauros]

30. That. is. beautiful!

I agree about the look of the silk. Just perfect!

The late 1800s was such a wonderful time for fine art. The Romanticism period was ending though its influence was still around, the Impressionists were in full bloom and the Expressionists were about to explode on the scene :D



Arnold Böcklin - Idyll (1875)

[rug]

31. Ah, the playfulness of Bocklin!

Yet, the languor Titian imparts to Venus is beguiling.

[kentauros]

32. Venus is indeed quite lovely there.

You remember your art history way better than I. Certainly there are favorites (like Bocklin) but I can't think of a good painting after yours :)

So, here's the next best thing; a fun site to sift through for nudes in fine art: http://www.historia-del-arte-erotico.com/home.htm

[rug]

33. Thanks. I'll be in my studio.

:hi:

[kentauros]

34. I'm already in mine.

Well, the digital one :hi:

[Capn Sunshine]

24. That's an excellent definition of GD

"what's DU: GD , daddy?"
"Arguing about bikinis"
"OK."

[rug]

27. At least they're arguing about tan lines instead of chemtrails.
