Ahh, yes, well, then, the contiguous States...
Harry, they just aren't bright enough to figure out that you meant the
mainland.


I'm too lazy to write down to the grammar school reading level of
Robbins, Fritz, Hertvik, Herring, Smithers, et al. Sorry. But I think
Lars here was just fooling a bit in a good-natured way.

Sadly, I'll never be able to duplicate my Miss Hawaiian Tropics babes
encounter, because I cannot remember what aftershave I was wearing at
the time. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Actually, the girls seemed like very nice young ladies, and they were
kidding each other about the "week of perfect posture" they'd just been
through. I was saddened by the fact that they didn't seem to have any
sort of career in mind for the inevitable post-bikini days, and were not
attending college.


Any truth to the rumor that over on the website:
www.wewonatriptohawaii.com
there's a posting from some young girls reporting they met a "harmless
old man, who reminded a few of us of our grandfathers," at a local
watering hole? :-)

I would bet a bundle that as we older guys look at shapely young women
with
faces like starlets and shimmering hair we often indulge certain
fantasies, but should we catch them stealing a furtive glance at our
hip pockets their typical motivation is wondering how much money is in
the wallet (and/or the bank).



Well, sure. Especially if your looks are all you have to offer. That's
why I was a little sad for them. They were gorgeous to be sure, but that
ain't gonna last.

One of the bitchiest people I ever knew was a 50-something woman who
had won some 2nd rate local beauty pageants in her late teens. Her
looks faded, but her attitude didn't. I hear she tried to relive her
former glory by running her daughter through the pageant mill. Poor
kid.

The older I get, the more I realize that the potentially sexiest organ
in the female body just might be the brain.

This photo is very nice, it actually looks professional. It is possible you

I like the way the fishing boat provided you with a perfect opportunity to
snap this photo, very impressive.

If you think Harry's photo "looks professional", and you are "very
impressed" with it, you don't know **** about photography. Also, I take
it you've never been anywhere near the Honolulu/Waikiki/Diamond Head
area? There's so many surfers in the water some days it would be hard
to motor out of the harbors without being that close to them.



Smithers tries so hard to hector, yet he is doomed to fail. My Hawai'i
photos exist mainly to remind us of a pleasant trip. I'm a fairly decent
amateur photographer, that's all.

I was using a short tele lens on those shots, so the distance between
the boat and the surfers was optically shortened, or "compressed," if
you will. Also, I'm posting compressed versions of .jpeg shots, not the
original NEFs. so the quality of the photos is somewhat less than the
originals.

Oh, I understand quite well.

Why are you bagging on Harry's photo, bassie?

I'm not. They are good for amateur photos. You need to learn (yet
again) to comprehend what you read. Smithers said the photos "look
professional", they do not. Plain enough for you?

Something more kevin knows nothing about but will claim to be an expert at.

And he still wonders why he is the "King"???

But they sure are nice to look at!

How are you so sure that their husbands will be making more than them?
Some top models make lots of money.

As you know so much about photography, I assume you take a lot of pictures.
Perhaps you could share with us some of the more 'professional' pictures you've
taken of your motorcycles.

Hee, hee.

Some have high earning power, but for very short periods of time. Hawaiian
Tropic girls have moderate earning power...and for even shorter periods of
time.

She's what you would call a "cougar":

Now, I know that you being a rightie and all, you can't comprehend
this, but, just because they are women, and just because they are
beautiful, doesn't mean that they don't have the brains to invest their
money properly. Think Naomi Campbell is financially strapped?

Secondly, please show what you know about the wages of Hawaiian Tropic
girls.
I know this, that at many venues where they appear, there is a $200
cover charge! And when they are picked, the winners get $10,000, and
that's before they ever make an appearance as a Tropic girl.

Thirdly, they usually go on to bigger and better paying modelling jobs.
Just like about any job, your earning power goes up the more experience
you have, and the brighter you get.

Are you trying to say that even entry level jobs are good jobs?
