Well, you know what they say; takes one to know one, which I guess makes me one. And with my new avatar, I can be a real lizard! :DQuote:

We suppose you haven't read the short story "A Boy and His God" by Charles Stross?Quote:

Bookmarked the story, and I will read it tomorrow.
Your new avy looks like it stepped off the cover of one of my old Pulp Magazines! Are you a gun moll? ;)Quote:

Actually you are not too far off the mark when you wrote of a pulp magazine. The painting was done by pinup artist Alberto Vargas. He of course did some nudes (NOT rude or explicit but not for kids either) as well as some glamour type portraits as well and the painting that I took my avy from was clothed. I think alot of his work was featured in older editions of Playboy magazine and the like.
I just liked it because she had a cool "retro" look to her.
Vargas
February 9, 1896 - December 30, 1982
Quote:
Some examples of Alberto's art work in the early thirties range from an "Imogene Wilson Fantasy" circa 1930, an "Art Deco Marlene Dietrich" painted for Paramount Studios yearbook in 1931, a sultry Barbara Stanwyck poster for Warner Brothers and Vitaphone Pictures' "Ladies They Talk About" in 1933 and a 1935 "Greta Garbo Image" which is simply a facial porfrait of her head, gold crowned and without eyes. it may sound a bit strange; but in person it's quite a majestic portrait.Later on when Alberto moved on to Paramount he painted the glamorous Hollywood queens; to name a few: Dorothy Lamour, Poulette Goddard and Hedy LaMar. However, in 1939, he returned back east with his wife and was persuaded to publish his girls In Esquire magazine. Alberto's biggest accolade came with the world-wide acclaim through these pages. His first 1940 Vargas Girl was an unprecedented success and led to many wonders including a portrait of Betty Grable for the movie "Moon Over Miami" which became the ultimate pin-up image in 1941. Around this same period twelve of Alberto's titillating Esquire Calendar showgirls came to life in a lavish Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer technicolor comedy 'Du Barry Was A Lady.' After Pearl Harbor, the American G.I.'s took the "Vargas Girls' literally all over the world. The 40's turned to the 50's, bringing more beauties. Alberto painted famous stars by the names of Jane Russell, Ava Gardner, Linda Darnell and the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe. At this same time Peru, his homeland, recognized him for achievements and awarded him the medal and brevet of knighthood in the Order of the Sun. And the United States accorded him a citation for the meritorious service to the country.
I KNEW it looked familiar!! ;)
Kath, alluring avy?:D
:lol: I like that kind of a retro-glamour type of look so... you know it was a toss up between that one and this one:

But I figured that ol' pirate captain Stanislaw would be chasing me around the forums if I chose it...;)

Kathy, I think you picked the better one for an avatar. I think the cleavage on that one would disract me too much. :blush:Quote:

I should say though, for my part, it's not so much the cleavage as the shoulder. :p
Oh it's the cleavage for me.!;)
To each his own, Virgil -- cheers, mate!! :thumbs_up
:lol: All I can do is laugh at you two.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:Dkath,let the next avy be the other picture:lol:I'll always remeber you as the sexy lady!God help the guys!!!!:D
I have been looking for an avatar for my profile for long, and now I have selected one. Its, Jasmine, and I am sure everyone knows where is came from. I am not sure if I have finalised this one, but it is very close to something that I wanted for my avatar. So, for the time being this will remain. :)
Well, it's very compelling, Madhuri. I like it a lot. :nod:
Yes Madhuri, it looks good. I have always been fond of these cartoons, Alladin.
Very pretty Madhuri. But forgive my age and ignorance, I do not know where it comes from.Quote:

She also has the distinction of the second least-dressed Disney Princess. Ariel, the little mermaid, is the first.
Madhuri's new avy reminds me of Sitaram's.
I changed my avy (again). My current one is the first avy I used in the forum. Stan once called it "the classic sub" :D
hmm, i've changed from the picture I took of a mailbox with bullet holes (from Corsica) to this sketch of my hand, would have used the one with a pencil, but it wouldn'e fit nicely :)
Thank you Shout.Quote:

Well, Jasmine has that skimpy top and a pair of what looks roughly like baggy sweatpants. Ariel has just a purple clamshell brassiere, but to my knowledge, all of the other Disney Princesses wear lush dresses.
:lol: I dont know what you guys think all the time. :lol:Quote:

Oh, and I believe Jasmine's the only one to do anything off-the-shoulder, as well.
