Freedom and art VS civilisation and society
but who really need civilisation, societal pressures,
religious dictatorships, political nonsenses?
FREEDOM FIRST / LIBERTE D'ABORD

My passed years there. :))
Real tattoos are fascinating of course, they are absolute art pieces, unfortunately often wrongly understood by either Mac Arthur and his puritan staffs after WW2 , and, even actually by a part of moralist extremists in Japan.
Now the Yakuza's symbol, tattoos had been worn in the past by other populations such as ancient Japan bushi (samurai) it was a way to bring fear in the ennemy (a psychological weapon I may say); it was also, (more recently) still the mark of Temples/Shrines builders and traditional architects.
Yooki's father was the sixth generation of such a Temples architects-builders family. (Note: Yooki is my wife for now 30 year and is not tattoed, that's another subject.)
I personnaly appreciate, the japanese way concerning IREZUMI. It's a whole concept developping with time on the skin, not a patchwork of separated stamp sized tattoos. It's for life, even leaving you've to remember who you were. It's a proof of courage, as all was (and, is still is, hand made) traditional needles pushing the ink deep under the skin, no electric ones working shallow.
It's overall, belonging to a community, to a profession (true also for Yakuza), to be out of a world to belong to another one.
It's a rule of life, not a fashion!

I hope that the "Tentacles" of Poser Master of Reika Prop Shop had been inspired by the shunga artworks from 19th century, and not only by the Hentai Anime from the late 2000 years.
Anyway the work is good, very good!!
Note: 縄毛賞(Nawa Gesho) is the title of a Pink Eiga starring Naomi Tani (谷ナオミ)

Sorry to be a bit late in transfering the bad news
The Associated Press: Pinup Bettie Page hospit...

Pinup Bettie Page hospitalized after heart attack
By JAMES BELTRAN – 16 hours ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Bettie Page, a 1950s pinup known for her raven-haired bangs and saucy come-hither looks, was hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a heart attack, her agent said Friday.
"She's critically ill," Mark Roesler of CMG Worldwide told The Associated Press.
He said the 85-year-old had been hospitalized for the last three weeks with pneumonia and was about to be released when she had the heart attack Tuesday. Page was transferred to another hospital in Los Angeles and remained in intensive care Friday.
A family friend, Todd Mueller, said Page was in a coma. When asked to confirm, Roesler said, "I would not deny that," but he would not comment further on her condition.
Page, a secretary turned model, is credited with helping set the stage for the sexual revolution of the rebellious 1960s. She attracted national attention with magazine photographs of her sensuous figure that were tacked up on walls across the country.
Her photos included a centerfold in the January 1955 issue of then-fledgling Playboy magazine, as well as controversial sadomasochistic poses.
Page later spent decades away from the public eye, and during that time battled mental illness and became a born-again Christian.
After resurfacing in the 1990s, she occasionally granted interviews but refused to allow her picture to be taken.
Mueller credits his business dealings with Page for bringing her out of seclusion. He said he first met her in 1989 when he offered her "a bunch of money" to show up at autograph signings.
"I probably sold 3,000 of her autographs, usually for $200 to $300," he said. "Eleanor Roosevelt, we got $40-$50. ... Bettie Page outsells them all."

The Yabb Open System software for Forums is something absolutely great.
BUT, yes there is a BUT and a big one...
All YaBB staffs are focussed on developping, coding for Unix/Apache only, ignoring what exists outside their tiny worls.
Yes I know, Apache represents 50% of the market and Unix is the paradise for those who loves the command lines...
I do not want to promote the Redmond company (being myself a Mac Maniac) but I have to say that there are also a lot of Windows servers around the world. YaBB peoples are not competent on that field and they should welcome some Windows servers specialists AND Unix/Windows cross Networks engineers.
Let say to get out of a small hole to enlarge to the whole world.
The command line is no more sufficient for such a good forum soft.
Any comment is welcome here.

Did the Legend came on this blog yesterday November 2, during 22 seconds.
Checking from her Macbook only 2 posts: the Legend and another?
The meeting will be held on November 6, for all who knows and a lot of communication should be sent before.
Maya helps me in the background (with Zero helping too) to keep contact.
Every one wait for 912, if she cannot come Anne Marie or C P are welcome.

Taking the opportunity of a question on an old Insexers forum about who is the best BDSM/Fetish model/actress ever, one of my two nominations goes to Naomi Tani aka 谷ナオミ。
Most of you do not know, that's quite sure, but from 1967 through 1979 she was the diva of BDSM related pink movies in Japan.
Of course nothing to compare with the actual PD's, Krako's or JR's works as humiliation is much more important in Japan than rough pain, AND that at that time censure in Japan (a remnant from McArthur puritan policy) was quite tight (and still exists in a way).
In fact for bondage amateur, for humiliation amateurs and for any other kinks amateurs, everyone can find in one or the other of her movies what can fullfil any fantasies. If not shown due to censure it induce imagination much far beyond the images.
I'll start here a small serie of posts about her. That's a way to thank her.
