I'm not sure how many of you "follow" posts in the "G&N" (Glamor and Nude) section, but here is something that came up recently:

Not sure what you mean, "what it's for" And what I mean by that is, is it for something special like a magazine or a book or something like that. Possibly. I have two published books out now and the publisher wants me to do another, so it's possible this may be in there. But, it wasn't really for anything specific, but none of my work ever was intended for anything specific other than just having fun and for the love of the genre (Pinup) My inspiration for this was the Viet Nam war. My best friend (from high school) Just died of Cancer from which they believe he got from exposure to Agent Orange while he was serving in Viet Nam, so that's been weighing on me lately. And I've always had a soft spot for our service men and women as my father served in WWII in the South Pacific. Sorry, some TMI here, but thought you might want an explanation.

So what is it for? Pinup tribute to Viet Nam soldiers? For fun? Maybe a Rambo tribute? :)

Well, this sparked "stuff" in me...I had a good friend who two years ago died of conditions that were apparently Agent-Orange related...he was a decorated Viet Nam veteran, as in he was labeled as a "Hero", wounded in action...he spent several years suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and then recently died because he couldn't recover from surgery...

Anyway...
