But a Dalek is a living creature in a travelling machine. Seeing as you've used mythical creatures and non naked creatures, I felt that a Dalek would (just about) fit your paradigm.

Yeah, I understand your contention. But as to point out the "mythical creatures", dragons and triceratops used to be considering living animals, and while I try to stay true to my original premise of, at least, featuring a beauteous woman topless, I also do realize that not everyone will be able to encounter a nude woman hugging her pet monkey; (pictured below) so I try to lead by example. And, as I initially stated somewhere in my OP or following shortly thereafter, I'd rather those who contribute find and feature only "live" animals, (at the time of the photograph's shot) as opposed to some random naked stranger posing alongside Smokey the Bear, or Donkey Kong. But, I do think creative-licensing is there for those who are willing to exploit it, so I do appreciate the "interestingness" factor attributed to those sort of off-kilter pictures, but I'd not like to make them commonplace here.


And to further address, I did find your post very chuckle-worthy, Daniel_, and well worth the humorous effect, but for any future features, I'd rather not re-address the difference between technological automatons, and biological members of the animal kingdom. For that, we (meaning me, overcoming my procrastinator's anxiety, and then further finding at least five more examples thereof) may be soon in need of a new topic:
"distressed damsels vs. depressed and/or unfeeling robots (killer or not)" *NSFW*

(way to contradict yourself, dummy... alright, no more "stuffed" or "inanimate" creature comforts on my part;
even though everything in a photograph is, by definition, inanimate.
I just thought this picture was a nice little "poke-fun-at-your-seriousness" kind of response.)

Back in the good ole days before there were democrats and republicans and when women were truly woMEN, they didn't play with liddle puddy tats and birdies, they played with some real fauna:

so we can or cannot use non-photographic images?
and we can or cannot use 'mythical' animals?

Just want to be clear.

yes, we (as a whole of the audience participation here) can use any "image" they feel encompasses the spirit of this theme (whether it be photographic, sketches, watercolors, CGI-based, and/or anything corporeal-resembling, such as a photogragh of a tangible erotic sculpture somewhere in France, for example)

I am just outlining what I'd prefer this endeavor to morph into, and trying my hardest not to give too many contradictory examples as to what is okay and not okay (any insertions) to post.

Again, an animal and a woman (preferably nude, though now not limited to seeing her naughty bits) is all that is needed in a single image to be contributed here. Live animals trump those that "stuffed" or are basically silly fixtures, but it's up to the individual to decide if they would like to mention it here.
Creativity is a bonus, but that depends on who exactly is endeared by your particular post at that particular time.


Catherine Deneuve in Peau d’âne (Jacques Demy, 1970)

See: the above example is not what I "ideally" want to proliferate here, as it is basically a cosplay-sort-of share, but every once in a while, I'll feature one of these.


The below? More of a perfect "basic template" of what to shoot for and feature here:

That's all right. Thing is, I was wanting to post the above some time later (much later), along with this photo, to complete the "giraffe prop theme":

so are we saying that female giraffe sex-interests are within the scope of this thread?



On the more human side, does a woman with a blow-up man-doll fit this theme? My wife believes this would be an improvement, though I highly doubt most women would find those red lips to be "manly"

The blog, of course, but what I entitled was that of the headline portrayed by that particular post, featuring that particular image. And if anyone at all other than myself actually find my attribution of sources helpful, I should also mention that it is A source to the image in question, not THE definitive source to finding its origins.

now, since mixedmedia already started the ball rolling to this fascination previously, (or maybe I did when I posted Devon Aoki) I thought I'd add to it:

backstory to image:

Film star Greta Scacchi today (June 8, 2009) urged Londoners to boycott restaurants that continue to serve endangered fish species like bluefin tuna.
The actress - inspired by a new documentary End Of The Line, in cinemas from today - asked people to give active support to sustainable fishing.
Ms Scacchi, who starred in White Mischief and Presumed Innocent, will be joined by other famous faces including actors Alan Rickman, Colin Firth and Sir Ian McKellen and restaurateur Tom Aikens at a private screening of the film.

The mother of two said:

"We have to put a stop to this free-for-all plundering of the sea. At the rate we're going, the sea will only be inhabited by worms and jellyfish in 40 years' time. When I saw the film at its premiere I was shaken to the core. As a mother and actress I implore everyone to boycott restaurants that don't support sustainable fishing. I'd also like the Government to get on board and legislate against unethical fishing practices."

so you are right. I've also discovered that the photo image is from her Playboy June 1965 pictorial, which was "at 12 pages, Ursula's spread was the most extensive pictorial Playboy had devoted to one women to date."

Here's two more instances of her dalliances with that pesky goose:
