PICTURE POST II!

[Data Holmes]

I'm not sure how these photos will be taken but I hope it is with positive feedback, I just don't know if bathing suit pictures are something people want to see lol. Anyway, I did a photo shoot last week for a bathing suit company called strange bikinis, and as the name suggest, none of the bikinis/swimsuits are typical which I love because I like weird, being normal is boring. Anyway here are some of the suits, let me know what you think. and hey if you really like them I'm sure the designer would be more than happy to sell a few lol.

My favorite suit is the white one because it's fun and quirky and not to revealing. Only problem is it would leave such a weird tan line lol. Again hopefully you guys all like these suits and the talented job of the photographers. If anything is to revealing I'm very sorry I can take them down <3 much love to everyone and hopefully this is a wonderful summer for all <3 <3 <3

Absolutely lovely set, Brie! Your photographer(s) really know composition and how to showcase their subjects (both you and the suits). I'm fascinated, though, by the low-contrast presentation of the photos. It's certainly an interesting artistic choice.

Either way, thanks for sharing!

Thank you. Some of the editing was done by myself but the dark you mention is attributed mostly to the weather. We were shooting in about 50 degree weather and then out of nowhere clouds rolled in messing with the lighting and then wouldn't you know...it started snowing.

Can't beat the unpredictability of mother nature. That white suit looks good on you.

That it does. The color and the shape of the suit are very flattering to your body. Very cute!

^ And better music as well.

I won't argue with that. The '80s had the best music of my lifetime, at least in terms of how personally enjoyable and memorable it was and still is.

It's all about how old you were. I suspect most people consider the best music decade to be the one that happened when they were teenagers.

I'm an exception. I was never too fond of 70s music in the 70s. I was listening to a lot of 60s music instead. I did love the 80s though and still do. But I must admit when I hear a 70s song today there is wave of nostalgia, even for the disco songs!

Everyone meet the newest addition to my family. I found 3 baby ducks abandoned in a trash can at a gas stationed and rescued them. My friends adopted the other two but I kept this one for myself so she/he could have a good happy home for as long as possible, I may end up having to give it to a farm but I hope not because it follows me everywhere and loves to cuddle. It has such personality! Oh and I gave it a star trek name of course, it's name is Ziyal.

Great photos on the past two pages!

Here's a couple of recent uploads:

AM, that photo with the yellow Pontiac is amazing. There's always been a lot of great photography from BBSers, but I think that ranks right up near the top.

Once again, great photos, AM! These are some of the most stylish and artistic photographs I've ever seen posted on this message board and thanks again for regularly adding new ones.

@Pondwater As always, thank you for your lovely compliments!

Snowing ... during a swimsuit photoshoot. Kudos for conveying such an easygoing demeanor in the shots, despite the conditions. Also, I like how the white sky almost fuses with the white suit, creating a negative space for how the suit curves across your body. It's quite an effective visual.

And, by the way, I absolutely adore that duckling. Congrats on the new (and ridiculously cute!) addition!

Thanks. There's something to be said for being in the right place at the right time.

@cooleddie ... thanks, my friend. That's very high praise, and I very much appreciate it!

Thank you for both!

This Alexei cat just does not give a fuuuuuu. Rescued him from the local grocery store and he's been a terror ever since.

Now here's the pile o' cats that camp out at the bottom three feet of my bed, giving me about three feet to sleep in. They have the whole bed to sleep on plus various chairs and a couch but they insist on being right there. Then Anya, the black one, bites my toes if I move them.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Looking good Squiggy.

My wife went out of town on Monday morning to our family's cabin, and someone was happy to go for a ride:

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Kitty!
Turtle!
Duckling! (I highly approve of her name. )
Puppy!
All adorable!

And, Ancient Mariner, your NYC photos are gorgeous as always.

My Apple Watch arrived yesterday, much earlier then expected.

 

[Squiggy]

I've heard conflicting reviews. Let us know it if was worth it.

My Apple Watch arrived yesterday, much earlier then expected.

I've just committed a sin....the sin of envy!
love it! Does Mickey dance like it did in the commercial?

 

[cooleddie74]

I'm still very skeptical about the Apple watch, but man - that photo looks awesome.
