You are the most beautiful girl on lit!

No offense to all the other posters. I find your pictures the hottest. You are by far the most beautiful girl on lit. Being a dirty old man and a voyeur. I love the school girl set the most followed by the Alice dress. Thanks for posting. Please show us more.
 
Well shoot. Anyone who makes her own corsets is cool in my book.
 
jaked99: Haha, sure *hands you a 30lb bag* :D Welcome back to high school? Naw, I wouldn't do that.

Fflow, juan tractor: I don't think it's fair to say that 'typically women sew'... (This is going somewhere) When I think of a chef I think of a man who cooks, in fact, I never think of a female. Yet, in the house, women are 'expected' to cook the meals.
It's the same with clothing. Fashion? Oh well, Hugo Boss, Calvin Kline, et cetera. Sewing at home, well, that's for the female.
It's like, for the public, men hold the position, and in the house, women do.
Or, that's the image I'm trying to change.
Hell, my mother does all the house hold mechanical (plumbing, electrical, construction) jobs... She passed a few of those skills onto me. I can do a bit of woodworking myself... Both kinds, juan :D

exchief6996: I wouldn't go so far as to say, the 'most beautiful girl on Lit,' but I won't turn down the compliment.

ahungrymind: He's taking a break - it was a rough weekend :devil:

EndCredits: Oh, well, in that case, I have two corsets (that I made and kept). Does that make me extra-cool? And the underclothes to go with them?


Fflow, the next set will be with you in mind :rose: and will be up by..... Monday morning.
 
You've lovely eyes and a bite-able behind. I for one would never accuse you of 'false advertising' ;)

Glad I found your thread!
 
PiratePrince: Constructing stuff is fun :D There's something so satisfying in knowing that you made it (children don't count... well, not for me at least)

EndCredits: Maybe I'll show them off ... the drawers are backless/open

juan tractor: *rolls eyes* Wow, so enlightening. I think I'll go back to my mixed vegetables. Ooo... peas and corn

DB, I had the good fortune to spend lots of time at home with my mom when I was a kid. She gave up a successful career as a fashion buyer in Manhattan to marry my father, a decision that in some ways she may have regretted for most of her life. Ours was a fairly traditional home, with my mom staying at home, shopping, cooking, etc. I never felt, though, that certain tasks were gender-specific. I think we all tried to pitch in, to help each other, and provide whatever skills and talents we could to benefit the family.

My wife works full time, and I don't. I do the grocery shopping, cook almost all of our family meals, and I love it. If I could sew, I would, but I never learned. (I made a rather pathetic hat once as part of my costume for the local Renn Faire.) Some years back my daughter was going to teach me to knit, but never did...

I think that society was wasteful and foolish to exclude women from so many career paths but now, in the 21st century, there are few remaining barriers. In fact, a friend of mine is one of a few female Executive Chefs for the Four Seasons. Walls are tumbling down.

Gender bias, like racial bias, really should be ancient history by now. They aren't, but they should be.

Dear god...

All I can say is "thank you," and "YIPPIE!!!!"

I'll try to be patient.

Gender roles, like racism, will continue to exist as long as it's made an issue. The minute we stop placing a gender on something, sexism will stop.

But here's the catch: men and women are different. And I'm not just speaking anatomically. I mean that the male and female brains are wired differently, and we are naturally better at certain things based on our gender. Women are, by and large, better caregivers. They are, by and large, better at fine motor skills like handwriting, sewing, knitting, and the like. Men are, in contrast, usually better at gross motor skills like swinging a hammer, shooting a bow, athletics and the like.

I realize that these are broad generalizations, but I don't believe that invalidates my point. Men and women are "wired" differently for a reason. We work better in concert, complimenting each other rather than mimicing each other.

I'm not saying that women shouldn't be afforded the same opportunities as men. Far from it. I believe that they should get equal consideration and compensation for jobs, they should be able to do service in the military in the same capacity as men in all ways, and they should not be discriminated against because of the possibility of childbearing.

But I do, however, believe it is folly to believe that men and women should be considered "the same." I have never agreed with the "I can do anything you can do better" way of thinking. It's just not true. We are different, and that's a good thing. We were designed that way for a reason. Our society works best with both genders contributing their different views, tendencies, abilities, and faults equally. Men and women are different, and to deny that is denying a fundamental truth in my mind.

I just want to reiterate that I in no way believe that women shouldn't be allowed to do certain things... or anything for that matter. I just think that we do ourselves a disservice when start trying to believe that men and women are better at different things. I'm not saying that anyone here is doing that, but I've seen discussions like this go down that road many times before.

The word "stereotype" has such a negative connotation, but every stereotype becomes that way because there is an element of truth to it. When speaking about the genders as a whole, that's perfectly acceptable. It's when you start judging individuals based on those stereotypes that it becomes negative.

And by the way, downer, I just want to say how wonderful I thought your most recent set was. Very nice.

Oh, and P.S. ...I can sew. ;)

Is it Monday yet? :D
 
LOL@Fflow

Man, what a double-edged sword! New pics from downer... but a return to work!
 
LOL@Fflow

I'm really sorry, Nic. I wanted to write a thoughtful and reasoned response to your message but I was overwhelmed by the anticipation of DB's new series. I'm trying to achieve a detached, balanced Zen posture... Yes. There it is. In this perfect now all moments unfold as Monday.
 
DB - After four years at a catholic high school, I never found that the plaid skirts ever got me excited. They were the winter uniform for the girls. The summer uniform, which was worn at the beginning of the school year and when spring rolled around, was a different story. They were a light weight pastel uniform. As the girls tanned, the uniform became more see through. Some of the girls would wear darker underwear that was really visible through the uniform.

I have to agree with you on the dancing and feet. Dancing is one of the roughest ways to treat your feet. I have had several friends that were dancers, and the one thing they appreciated was a very good foot rub. That was as far as it ever went, though.

As for shocking older people, well past the age of retirement - remember that these people saw the roaring twenties, rum running, thr depression, world war 2, Korea, and Viet Nam. Not a lot goes on that will shock them.

Love the bathing suit. It makes you look like one of the 40's or 50's pin ups.:rose:



:D
