Mixed photos

What the heck is this? Looks like science fiction.

I once saw a woman (at a women's fair, no less) who looked sort of like this, except perhaps her bosom was a tad larger and more emphasized, incredible as it sounds. It was impossible not to look at it. We exchanged a hello, and my eyes slipped down for a split second, and I knew she had seen it, and I was just too embarrassed to talk to her.

Talking about Bat logos.
Hehe.
An angel's work is never done.

That tower is the Burj Dubai. It will be the tallest skyscraper in the world.

Funny, I was gonna guess either Asia or Dubai. Those guys are kwaiiiisy!

Yes, it's that the attention of all the women in the room is on the toddler like white on rice.

For that first picture, maybe they're trying to recreate Orthanc (the tower Saruman was in) from Lord of the Rings. :D

Ooh, a snow angel! :-D

A few comments on the busty lady:
- These have GOT to be mineral! (Translate : silicone)
- She's also got a face that seems to have been "surgically formatted", and with "assorted" make-up. So un-Domai, it's freaky.
- About that most widespread fad for big breasts... okay, time for a dedicated paragraph!

I was recently playing Tomb Raider: Anniversary. And seeing Lara Croft after many years, spent in good part educating my taste in women with Domai, I have to admit her breasts ARE ridiculously big, compared to her silhouette. 20% of what she's got would be more than enough for a real-life woman.
But here's the thing : it's more striking now, than for instance with the original game 10 years ago (I've played it). I don't think it's gotten any BIGGER, but... the character has gotten immensely more realistic.

When you're a deeply unconventional --bordering abnormal-- guy like me, sort of an anti-neanderthal, you don't immediately gaze at every woman's chest as a mandatory first procedure step. (Nor appraise the size of her behind.) So, it's taken me very long to even take notice of how systematically big and unrealistic fictional breasts are. But I think, when a character is from a cartoon, many traits have to be amplified, and in pretty women, this implies the bosom, because of the whole silhouette. Drawings with flat colors require enhanced lines to be perceived, anyway, and cartoons are all about enhanced images.

Now that I've taken due notice of Lara's airbags, I really wish there was an option to make them SMALLER. If you've heard about the bust-rich videogame Dead Or Alive, you might know that the player's age is among the options. I think from 13 to 99. What I didn't know at first (again my morphological myopia, I always focus on the prettiness of the FACE), is that the age setting serves solely to change the bouncing boobies of the battling beauties. The higher the age, the bigger they are. (But they don't fall any harder!) It feels weird, I tell you, when I prefer setting that number to a much younger degree than my real age. 18 to 25 feels right, 99 feels like suddenly having the tongue of Gene Simmons! And, in fact, even 13 feels rather okay, if you don't intend to focus on the very aerial bounce of those manga-like missies.

But I've realized something, again thanks to Domai : if we customarily saw women naked, instead of covered with many layers of fabric (especially in winter), we'd far easier appreciate how pretty-looking discrete breasts may be. But when the silhouette is thickly wrapped, again the forms are visually blunted, like in flat-colored cartoons.
So, maybe, just maybe, clothing is in part responsible with what has now become a worldwide issue, the high demand for bigger breasts, VERY often to a ridiculous point.

I've forgotten who it was (maybe Aniko) who mentioned evolution having selected arbitrary and oft impractical physical traits because for some reason, at one point, they've become signs of sexual attractiveness. Homo sapiens has the biggest phallus and mammaries of all primates, relatively OR absolutely, and ours is among the best-endowed species in the world. And yet... and yet, lesser-bragging bosoms were NOT expelled from our lineages by social preferences selection. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
I genuinely feel that a lot of body shyness (and therefore covering up) has sneakily established itself in our social norms over the last three centuries or so, since partial or complete nudity was something quite ordinary for very long. See the painting of the French Revolution by Delacroix. And know that in medieval Europe, whole families would walk to the bath houses together, naked, in the streets, or go skinny-dipping in the rivers.

Anyway, my preferences are far less mixed than these photos: natural and healthy IS beautiful. Spare maybe for some extremes, of course, which I might aesthetically dislike. I'm not much for extremes of any kind.

Yes, I guess it was me...
I like to be a source of wisdom ! :-)

I always thought breast implants are kind of unnatural and not very beautiful, thought attracting some kind of guys (while keeping away other kinds of guys.)

I just found out how dangerous they are: (not only for the guys looking :-)

I think that to place drapes over a nude statue shows narrow thinking. The same could be said for covering the human form in layers of clothing. Why cover from view such a beautiful creation?
