Keep these coming. This was an age when one didn't count ones units or carbs. Great!

I'm always amazed at your lovely ladies. I'm sure in the days of those photgraphs they would be considered risque!

My kind of fierce fairy! Of course, I'd rather slip into a cosmo, diving for the, ummm... vodka!

With those heels and hose, she is one "fierce cookie" if messed with!

How do you come up with these ideas?

Love it!

Oh....and what a FIERCE rivalry we have here in Chi-town these past 2 weekends with the White Sox and "the other team". : ) 2 crosstown classics in a row! I was a little afraid your team had shown the Sox a thng or 2 last weekend, until this weekend when the Sox smeared 'em. Revenge is SWEET.
