Is a new Victorian age coming?

Amazon, who I had previously been so happy about not being paranoid about materials with nudity or sexuality, is apparently beginning to hide these more and more, so they don't show up in regular searches, but only via a direct link.
OMG, I really thought the Internet would the death stroke to this mentality.

Good thing it wasn't the
C-string!

Anne Kellerman was an Australian, and we tended to be a bit more relaxed thanks to our beach culture. Doesn't she look good. I like to see all sorts of fit bodies, and she has the type that was popular before ultra-skinny became the norm.

Apple has been pushing the wholesome image for a while, because they feel they can't afford to alienate a proportion of American consumers. Google have got around that by not having an approval process, so they don't actually endorse anyones apps. I think this is changing so they may introduce some restrictions. It is all a bit hypocritical. I expect that if you wanted a DOMAI app then it would be refused by Apple, but what do they think people do with Tindr. Get together to organising transporting excursions?

Yes, she looks fantastic. I almost said it, but I no longer has the "it's my job" excuse for being a Dirty Old Man...

Good for that time, I guess. So, Big E, since you're retired now when are you going to hit the road with your camera? We want to see more than just the industrial estate you live on.

Yes, "for the time".

I would *love* to get out there and excercise those wonderful cameras and lenses I have. But to my great sadness the condition (fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatique Syndrome, they have great overlap) which made me sell the business also prevents this.

But I want to thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it, friend.
