Take a look at any random Egyptian movie...<br />Now, a really liberal woman, she'd use a shovel. Or a bulldozer, if she's a big spender with hired staff at her <b>disposal</b>(!).<br /><br />Official fact : one-third of Lebanese women have had elective plastic surgery. (Or was that "one-third have boobie implants"? It's hard to follow, when the news go too fast!)<br />Other completely unrelated factoid : more than one-third of Lebanon's bachelors have emigrated from the country and are most unlikely to return some day.<br />Not suggesting that Lebanon is afflicted by the "young spinster mass population syndrome"... ;-)Pascal [P-04referent]https://www.blogger.com/profile/12828897559998855623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-71107580264423149742012-06-13T23:48:23.308+00:002012-06-13T23:48:23.308+00:00Nah, that would be the female commando police forc...Nah, that would be the female commando police force in Iran.

Weird. I call it "carnival colored" face. <br /><br />In contrast, I noticed on Episodes, the blind wife of the network CEO, a *beautiful* mature woman, and perfect makeup with hardly any color, well done.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-68621523796438133502012-06-11T17:54:46.072+00:002012-06-11T17:54:46.072+00:00Please, TC, don't start calling Eo a "hee...Please, TC, don't start calling Eo a "heel" something. I've always thought of him more as a "babyface". ;-)<br /><br />I think there's already been a lengthy discussion on this blog about high heels. Or was it about sagging pants? It seems that the constant hip jerks needed to keep them up is ALSO clamitous for the spine, according to medical surveys.<br /><br />Speaking for myself, I *supremely* hate feet deformed from excessive wearing of high heels. Especially those poor crushed toesies. :,(<br /><br />Not sure if there's a relation, but my Mom only ever wears makeup (scarcely) for special occasions, like weddings, and generally sticks(!) to nature-identical lipstick color.<br />But I've seen my fair share of "overpainted" women. Remember, I live and grew up in the Middle East!<br /><br /><i>"I rarely gaze that far down before something catches my interest."</i> <br />You don't say? Why, I'm really surprised to hear that from you, of all peeople. ;-)<br />Myself, I do love to look at the wholeness of a silhouette, "from nose to toes". Even though the face remains my admitted fetish. It's rather hard to spot that inner beauty by looking beneath the neck line. Except when blatant body modifications betray a most unattractive lack of self-confidence.<br /><br />In this instance, women would be well-advised to listen to and heed a typical male saying: "If it's not broken, DON'T FIX IT!"<br />I mean, sure, if you make a lot of efforts to look nice for us, we'll notice it, but we guys usually DON'T focus on details. Sometimes, we have a hard time realizing it's your hair you've changed. So, basically, ladies, please stop fretting over the minutiae. Few things are prettier than a relaxed and smiling face. A healthy woman with a healthy smile is all I ask for. Heck, I think even clothes altogether are optional! ;-)Pascal [P-04referent]https://www.blogger.com/profile/12828897559998855623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-78022781435168723242012-06-10T00:40:36.598+00:002012-06-10T00:40:36.598+00:00Exactly, it adds up, which is why it's so grea...Exactly, it adds up, which is why it's so great how digitizing gets smaller and better.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-45905761770987382412012-06-10T00:21:22.580+00:002012-06-10T00:21:22.580+00:00I am happy with my Pentax K-x...

But that + a lens or two + spare battery, and that's already quite a lot. <br /><br />Ten years ago I climbed a mountain with my camera... Ah. Those were the times. :)Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-17701308240144560322012-06-07T12:40:22.731+00:002012-06-07T12:40:22.731+00:00That's one reason it's a great thing that ...That's one reason it's a great thing that compact cameras are getting better and better quality. I will say at a rough estimate that the newest M4/3 systems give you at least the quality that you needed to carry a medium format camera for in film days, and those were heavy, it could easily be several kilos just for a basic system, a camera and a couple of lenses and such. With M4/3 this can come in at less than one kilo. <br /><br />Also, even more compact cameras can give excellent quality, though they have slower autofocus and less power in low light. <br /><br />And DSLR, while bigger than M4/3, do not have to be awfully big, for instance a Pentax K-r with a couple of prime lenses can easily be less than 1.5 kilos, I'd say. Maybe less than one kilo. <br /><br />And of course one of my favorite all-round cameras, the Fuji X10, is less than half a kilo, including a high-quality and fast zoom lens.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-24134261509696403382012-06-07T03:05:26.642+00:002012-06-07T03:05:26.642+00:00Well, I do like the shape high heels give to the f...Well, I do like the shape high heels give to the female leg... But I cannot wear them myself. :)<br /><br />Carrying heavy bags : it is wise to mention this female activity. It is indeed making my back hurt more over the years. The result : I tend to leave my camera at home... And that's not a nice answer either. <br /><br />Probably special back exercise to help carry the camera would be a good answer for me. :)Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-33933648730350077582012-06-05T16:55:29.661+00:002012-06-05T16:55:29.661+00:00I rarely gaze that far down before something catch...I rarely gaze that far down before something catches my interest. <br /><br />And I'll be if a woman has nice legs, they'll show well in flip-flops too.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-26929315242982676692012-06-05T16:18:46.806+00:002012-06-05T16:18:46.806+00:00I wouldn't say Eolake's the only one, I...I wouldn't say Eolake's the only one, I'm not that into them either.Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513057351606187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-81975987994075417942012-06-04T17:41:16.344+00:002012-06-04T17:41:16.344+00:00Includes "carrying a heavy handbag" and ...<i>Includes "carrying a heavy handbag" and "sleeping in makeup".</i><br /><br />Ick!
