Nice rock! Great curls!

Darrel, The things some people notice! (laffin) Actually, the nail polish is the same color, however My nail polish was chipped that day, and I KNEW if I left it chipped it would get noticed. But I didn't have time to repaint My nails properly, so I just brushed another coat on over the chipped nails. So that is why My nails look different shades of pink. Wanda

I think I like this one the best. Is the polish on her thumb a different shade than what is on her fingers? Darrel

A very warm and heartfelt "thank you" to both Jim and "VeryMarriedv". (appreciative smile tossed in just for good measure) Wanda

Dear Wanda: I never like to disagree with a beautiful woman, but I find I have to here. As I said in my post, there are far more SEXUAL images out there, but none of them are SEXIER than the pictures that Bill (and now you) post of you.

Wanda, I think you got it fairly straight as to why people keep coming back. It's not just the photo's, they are always lovely. And it's not just that you are beautiful, (you most certainly are) as for sexier images out there? ( please post a link, I'd love to see them ). You're right, it has a lot to with the comments from Bill, You, and other poster's. In a way looking at your post's is similar to the popularity of reality TV shows . I think people in general tend to be voyeuristic and you guys share so much of your life with everyone that we begin to feel that we know you and want to know what's going on in your life. I always come back to a image I've already seen just to see what others have commented on, and to see if you guy's have left additional comment's. The way you guy's interact with your viewer's makes everyone feel like a friend. I guess the main reason I keep coming back, is that you guy's just seem like such good people that anyone would be happy to consider you friends. I guess I'm the one that's rambling on now, I for one always appreciate anything you guy's post. Jim

Dear "VerymarriedV" Thank you for your kind comment. (smiling) I am always very flattered AND amazed by such comments. Bill and I have also wondered what keeps viewers comming back, because as you said, there are plenty of images out there that are far sexier. And in My opinion, plenty of images out there with women who are far prettier, , ,but for some reason Bill's images of Me seem to be popular. I have thought about it, and I think it' the commentary from Bill on each photo and the comments from viewers who make it interesting and keep people comming back to take a peek. Over the years I have been accused of having a "charming personality", and I suppose that is true. (said as humbly as possible) Provided they are not jerks, I enjoy being nice to people and making others smile . . .I believe Bill has managed to capture that side of Me in his photos and I just lucked out and captured the "playful" side of Me in My self portraits. I just realized I am rambling as usual. .. (grin) . . . . so, let Me just say, besides what one person said to Me about it being the "Wanda factor" (that still makes Me chuckle). . . .I believe what it is that keeps people comming back is My love of life and My belief that we should enjoy every moment while it lasts! Wanda

Dear Wanda and Bill, With all of the much more sexual images I have often wondered what brings me back to this site nearly every day for the last two years. For some reason this image made the light bulb go off for me. At an age when most women have "hit the wall" Wanda's incredible eyes and smile and other obvious charms just seem to get more beautiful every day. That plus, even though I know I will never get to see them, the tease of knowing that those special pictures, to which Wanda referred, do exist helps to keep me captivated. Oh, and the artistry of the photographer even when Wanda doesn't appear ain't half bad neither. Please keep up the great work both of you.

It didnt take anytime to notice that something was missing.My thought was,Wow Wanda was running back and forth so quickly that she ran out of her clothes!If you ever enter a marathon let us all know ahead of time!!lol

Jeff & I both like this natural shot better, Glenda, Australia

Jim McKinlock		25-Mar-2006 02:49
Wanda, I love your expression in this one. Is this what you were wearing when Bill got home? I can just imagine you smiling and giggling "guess what I did today honey?" Ya did good girl. Jim

long time fan/guest		24-Mar-2006 23:16
sure wishing you'd post one of those 'teasing grin' shots you mentioned... maybe you can get creative with photoshop to make it acceptable.. :)~

isleman		24-Mar-2006 22:23
What a joy you brought to my face seeing your playful side blossoming again. Great shot my firend. You have done Bill and yourself very proud. Classy as always!

Jola Dziubinska		24-Mar-2006 19:17
This one is excllent and you look very natural, Wanda. I like the golden tones in your hair, skin and bg. and contrasting reds of the pillow, lipstick and your nails. Good work!.

Wm. Bates		24-Mar-2006 19:09
mnmboat, I wondered when anyone would notice the "something is missing" factor about this image! Congrats on being the first to notice! (grin) I was just trying to do a little something extra for Bill. There are other shots, but not that you will see posted here. (teasing grin) Wanda

It takes a few moments to notice, but there is something is missing in this photo. I think the model/photographer was getting a little more comfortable and adventuresome in her photo shoot.

Dave Callahan Photography		24-Mar-2006 13:30
Very nice job,you really sem to know this model.(More than I know how to type!)I love both shots.And are you leaning over the arm of a chair?

Guest		24-Mar-2006 08:14
Love them both, but I think this one is my favorite of the two

Absolutely beautiful eyes!
