I love scantliy clad women, you are absolutely right. I could look at them all day.

But I'd never get any work done. Mrs. JimRed knows that the day I stop looking is the day she'd better bury me!

Your comments are totally tasteless and not worth any further comment.

Good day.

That’s not her. That’s Gretchen Mol playing her in a movie.

Well, I’m no gentleman (being female), but I have long appreciated her beauty and I think she must have been an incredibly strong, deep woman to have been able to put it all behind her.
Definetly more than just a pretty face!

Mea culpa. I read the name and it just didn't sink in - Senior Moment.

Got any pics of you tagline? :-)

Neither is that kind of a legacy.

Surely there was something she could do other than the very brainless, posing half naked.

I truly wish people would UPGRADE what impresses them.

Anyone can pose half naked or naked for that matter.

In her youth she posed for some cheesecake photos.

Later on, she found Christ and left the old life behind. What happened to her pics after that was not in her control. I saw a short bio of her on TV a few years back and she said she was shocked that the photos were still out there and that anyone knew who she was.

She repented and accepted Christ. You might want to cut her some slack.

“She repented and accepted Christ. You might want to cut her some slack.”

I didn’t know that ... now I understand where you are coming from. Thanks for letting me know!
