#7 Wanda Mae and #8 Beatrice

Wanda Mae is 4" long x 4" wide x 7" high. The statement on the bottom says, "This was suppose to firm up my breasts, but after a month, I can arm wrestle with my equal other. Usually I win. The bad part is that my boobs are still sagging".

From my previous "missives", (thank you Bub Mayhew for the word), many of you may think that I have been infatuated with boobs. You may be right, but what is wrong with that? Jugs, boobs, bosoms, a great rack or whatever you prefer to call them, have been prominently displayed and promoted for centuries in art and entertainment. Since the invention of film, photography and modern print medias, they have been taken to a whole new level. You can't go to a movie, thumb through a magazine, window shop or go to a sporting event without having them shoved in your face. As a male, kind of enjoy/enjoyed that. The obsession with huge "silicone implants", I don't quite get. I can understand minor enhancements for personal reasons or prosthetics after a medical condition. However, I don't understand why someone would want to carry around 2 large jellyfishes or 2 bald shiny heads. Most guys are content with a decent handful, and moreover, happy that any woman would have anything to do with them and let them experience her breasts, regardless of size. Many of the girls at Nifty After Fifty were showgirls, LV personal entertainers or cocktails waitresses. Most, at one time were endowed naturally. Have a lot of respect and admiration for those, like Wanda Mae, that work so hard to keep those headlights shining. What is frightening is seeing a 70 year old girl, weighing 115 and with perfect 40DD's staring you in the face. Thankfully, I will not be around at Nifty After Fifty to deal with this tattoo generation and have to figure out what those faded and almost now muddled inks once represented.

Beatrice is 4" long x 4" wide x 7" high. Her statement on the bottom says, "How is this going to help me see my toes or shoes without first sitting down"?

The problem with going to a place like Nifty After Fifty is that there are 2-3 generational gaps between the attendee and the personal trainers/therapists. One is there seeking personal/or prescribed goals. That individual is not interested in the latest university professor's study or their HMO's credence in that study, but rather just getting through their remaining days as comfortably as possible. Those limber and flexible stretch-armstrong dolls talk to you as if you also have a sports medicine or dietary degree. They don't like to be interrupted while giving their spiel or questioned as what good this particular exercise or routine is going to do for you. Often thought that they were subconsciously getting back at a grandparent and were told when younger, don't ask questions, just do what I say. Mostly they are attentive and courteous, but deny their authority, they turn into that nun back in grade school with that ruler in their hand. Don't know if it is just me, but have noticed that there seems to be less and less compassion throughout the medical and health professions. Maybe the change is that what was once looked at as an honorable profession, is now too often looked at as just a BUSINESS or JOB.

Well that wraps up this art series. Hope that you have enjoyed them. As usual would appreciate any feedback and am always looking for a home for my art children, so they don't have to wage war with the dust bunnies. Don't know when or what I will be doing next, but know something will spark in my brain. It always does. Give those around you a hug and always wear a smile.
