Breasts, boobs, knockers, have been drawn, sculpted, and photographed for centuries(well not photographed for centuries). In New Orleans just about every night, the saying "show us your tits!" is heard up and down Bourbon Street. From photographs and video, it seems that many women don't mind the "tit" word. At least when they've had a few drinks anyway. Showing it off for plastic beads. I wonder about the new government term, "United States of Homeland Security". Germany had the Fatherland, and Russia had the Motherland. Look what happened there. On to Leicas......I like Kyle's shot, sort of the nice girl next door that can be wild underneath. Ashcroft would have you place a sheet over Colleen though.
