One day saw a girl with, I fear, more boobs than brains running with no bra; it even <I>looked</I> painful!<BR/><BR/>One reason I like some writers like S.M. Stirling; a woman may be in a primitive culture, but given the chance she puts something supportive on before heading out.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this subject is like the Conan movies and comic books and covers compared to the actual stories: in the Howard stories he wears armor and only runs around in a breechclout when he had to escape from something without his gear, but the movies and covers have him half-naked- in the freakin' desert, yet!- by choice.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-81754104872967389652009-03-17T06:43:00.000-07:002009-03-17T06:43:00.000-07:00Hi, new here, but I'd like to add one more thing: ...Hi, new here, but I'd like to add one more thing: most of those heroines have a pretty big, er, bosom. Which will make running around with no support actually painful. Not to mention the fact that the ladies in question are going to be having a more or less droopy pair in record time. This wisdom brought from personal experience (D cups. They used to look nice, a few decades ago). So yes, those covers make me wince in more that a couple of ways. I do have a lot of experience with mosquitoes and scratchy plant life too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-78559343943662602832009-03-13T13:05:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:05:00.000-07:00I've never noticed the names, was it guys or girls...I've never noticed the names, was it guys or girls who came up with that, I wonder?<BR/><BR/>Just a bit, yeah.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-63773154423090272062009-03-13T10:35:00.000-07:002009-03-13T10:35:00.000-07:00How about those cover designers of ladies Romance ...How about those cover designers of ladies Romance Novels, and the guy who came up with the idea to <I>emboss</I> them in low relief, to accentuate the hero's male pedigree as his thigh is held in the embrace of the voluptuous heroine...
