How Art Can Make The Naked Form More Acceptable

After my last post, Google, Google Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me, I decided that, seeing as how there isn’t much I can do about it, I would stop worrying about it and just continue on with what I was doing. I reckon taking Keith’s, from Public Speaking and Presentations,  advice about using Market Samurai’s Ranking feature helped me. You may remember I stopped searching where it ranked in the SERPS after 30, and that took some time, well MS told me in seconds that it didn’t even rank in the top 100 :flush_tb:

So, here I am writing about something a lot less stressful, some may even say it’s my favourite topic, naked women. :drunk_tb: I’ve loved the naked female body almost as long as I could remember, even to this day I wonder why so many of them cover it up. Must be because of all those prudes out there who can’t handle the site of naked flesh. :lol_ee:

Sort of makes you wonder doesn’t, it when it’s really the most natural thing in the world. I even suggested how we should all take out clothes off for the greater good. There’s no way that’s going to happen though and so we must leave a lot to the imagination. At least these days our imaginations doesn’t exactly have to work overtime because a lot of those lovely ladies love to wear the bare minimum. But bare minimum isn’t exactly naked.

This is probably why throughout the ages man has depicted the naked woman form, whether it’s in paintings or in sculptures. I reckon that’s why I took a lot of photos of naked statues while over in Vegas. I never thought though that they would make great subjects for paintings. No, I’m not going to turn those photos into works of art, my days of painting are over. Nope, instead I’m going to use my trusty Apple MacBook Air 11.6-Inch LaptopLaptop Computers) and the AutoPainter Express to do all the hard work for me.

Let’s have a look at what a naked woman would look like in the eyes of the great Van Gogh.

Not too shabby huh? OK, let’s see what sort of nude Benson can come up with.

Yeah, I’m kind of leaning a little towards the Benson nude myself, but we do have one more example. This one’s done in the Aquarrel style.

Each one is unique and people being what they are almost everyone would have an opinion as to which one they think is the best. Some may even prefer the original over the digitally enhanced version. Personally I like to enhanced version as I think it gives the photos a whole new look. What about you guys, which one do you like best and why.

Oh, talking about topless women, I’m conducting a poll on my sexual aids blog about What You Would Do If You Saw A Topless Woman Holding A Speed Limit Sign, it would be great if you read that post and took part in the poll. :thumbup_tb:

The Bellagio, The Jewel Of Las Vegas

OK guys, its time for a little treat. It’s been awhile since I did a post on my trip to the States, and knowing how much you enjoyed hearing about the Aussie perspective of America I’m here to continue my Story. Don’t worry, I’ll leave links to related posts at the end of this one. :smile2_ee:

Before telling you about leaving Los Angeles via LAX, weird name for an airport and what’s the X stand for anyway :ponder_tb: , I should tell you of my experience upon our arrival there at the beginning of the holiday. I’ve been to several airports but LAX was the first one that digitally took my finger prints as well as doing a retina scan. Weird, but I reckon it’s all been brought about because of what happened on September 11. Leaving for Las Vegas was simpler, we just had to remove everything from our pockets, belts and even shoes. We were cool about it, the only ones complaining were the Yanks. :wink_ee:

OK, so we left LAX and landed at the Las Vegas airport, and what was the first thing we saw upon entering the airport? A whole heap of slot machines, unlucky ones at that. Ah, who am I kidding I didn’t have any luck at Vegas but I sure did enjoy myself.

We stayed at the Bellagio and I have to tell you it was the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever seen. This is a shot of the Bellagio Fountain, and believe me when I tell you it was spectacular.

If you’re ever there the fountain appears regularly depending on a few factors. From Monday to Friday between 3pm and 8pm its every half hour and between 8pm and 12am its every 15 minutes. On weekends and holidays it starts at 12pm. What is really amazing is that the shows are different and each time the fountains appear they dance to whatever music is playing. Don’t forget to watch the video I took at the end of this post.

Upon entering the Bellagio we were presented with a stunning chandelier. These two photos were taken from the foyer.

Once we had checked in we went to our rooms to deposit the luggage and to do that you had to walk through the casino, a common factor in all the casinos we visited while there. Obviously they hope to suck a bit of cash from guests as they walk through.

Let me tell you, the casinos in Vegas are huge and the Bellagio was no exception. I could flood this blog with the photos I took but I don’t want to bore you with the hundreds of photos I took. being spring and all a lot of the hotels had a spring them but I didn’t see one that matched the Bellagio.

This painting was actually made of flowers and again it was pretty big.

If you’re ever at Vegas you have to visit the Jean Philippe Patisserie. Why? Because their coffee and food is great and the cakes are to die for. You can even watch as they make the most delicious crepes with fillings of your choice. While there be sure to check out their chocolate fountain, it’s the biggest in the world.

You can head on over to my Flickr account if you want to see more photos, and I will be uploading more as I get time.

You may well have noticed that the photos of the Bellagio although identical are dramatically different. This is all thanks to an app I was introduced to by Carolyn in her post, Dynamic Light: Enhance Your View Of The World! That was a great find Carolyn and I appreciate you putting me on to it.

But now, what you have all been waiting for, The Fountains Of Bellagio!

If you like the video I would really appreciate you giving it a thumbs up on the YouTube site, and while you’re at it a tweet wouldn’t go astray. :thumbup_tb:

Is Timing Of the Essence In Regards To Blog Posts?

This photo is one of many I took in another series of falling drops on my my Photos2Blog blog.

I have found that in many situations in life, just like capturing this particular in time of the falling drop, that timing is of the essence. If you get the timing right you can usually expect great things, but if you get it wrong there can be a catastrophe waiting to happen. Take the current share market as an example, those who waited too long have either lost a bundle or are forced to sit on their stocks waiting for an increase in the market, whilst those who got out in the nick of time are rubbing their hands with glee as they search the stocks waiting to pick up all the best bargains.

One wonders if this can also be true in blogging. Although the results of mistiming may not be as dramatic in blogging I can’t help but wonder if the timing of your posts can have any relation to the immediate exposure it gets? Should I be delaying my posts so that they appear when it’s morning in another time zone when people are waking up, or evening when they come home from work.

I noticed last night, thanks to my Stumbled shortcut, that two of my blogs were stumbled just before 11pm Australia time, resulting in over 500 views in just over an hour. I’ve have been stumbled before but only once before did it result in so many views. Unfortunately I did not take note of the time on that occasion. So the question remains, is the timing of publishing your posts important in regards to getting the ultimate outcome?
