Bettie Page is a legendary cheescake model who remains popular despite the fact that she did her modeling more than 50 years ago. She was good looking and had a nice figure but there have been many models before and since who did, too. What made Page stand out was the fact that she seemed to be completely comfortable doing what she was doing. She looked like she was having fun.

Too many models look bored, or look intimidated, or look outright terrified, and I gather that some men find that sexy. Not me; it just makes me uncomfortable. I want the model to look like she is enjoying herself, like she's happy to be there, happy to be doing the things she's doing, in the (lack of) clothing she is (not) wearing. I like looking at women but I don't want it to be something that they hate.

Of course, when it's fan art we don't have to worry about that, I suppose. They're just drawings. But that's still how I feel about it. So today's search term is "happy".

Today's search term is "serafuku", i.e. "sailor suit", the standard (usually) school uniform for high school girls. Not too surprisingly, a lot of Kancolle, but also a lot of Haifuri.

Elizabeth II, God bless her, has been Queen of England (and Scotland and Canada and Australia and Wales and not the United States) my whole life. She just turned 90 and I know no one lives forever, though her line lives remarkably long. The Queen Mother lived to be 102.

Yesterday the voters of the UK decided there should continue to be a UK for Elizabeth to be Queen of. A superb decision, for a lot of reasons, and so in honor of this tremendous achievement today's search term is "Union Jack".

(Full size version) On June 23, 2016, Brits looked at the gold-plated chains offered them by the EU and by their own leaders, turned their backs, and marched away.

Today's search term is "out of frame censoring" and what that means is that the picture stops too soon. You want to scroll more but can't because there's nothing more to see.

Chizumatic is not responsible for keyboard damage caused by pounding on the scroll key. (Also, pretty much everything below the fold is NSFW; just not as NSFW as it could have been if only the artist had added another couple hundred pixels at the bottom.)

When I was a kid there were advertisements in my comic books for X-ray glasses, which -- they claimed -- allowed you to see through women's clothing. Only $5! Wow! (and lots of other exclamation points!)

And I always wondered. You know, it would be pretty cool, wouldn't it? And it isn't all that much money; it seems improbable that it would work, but maybe, just maybe...

I never ordered anything like that. For one thing, in second grade I wasn't actually all that interested in girls. For another, my allowance was only 25 cents a week, so even $5 was pretty steep. (And anyway, I always spent it on candy at George's Store.) But I've always wondered.

Well, we have the magic of Japanese fan artists to let us know. Today's search term is "x-ray_glasses", and it won't even cost you $5.

A cape says "presence". A cape says, "power". A cape says, "I'm a badass." A cape says, "I'm not afraid of being sucked into a jet engine". (Or if it's Lina Inverse, "Jet engine? What's a jet engine?" Or if it's Ricotta Elmar, "Jet Engine? I haven't invented that yet.")

A cape says, "The rest of my FRP costume is too skimpy and I'm cold." Today's search term is "cape".

Seems like "monetizing your blog" is the cool thing to do these days. So today's search term is "Product placement", and let's see if we can get some payola flowing here!

Today's search term is "Race Queen" because "Pit Babe" turns up no hits. (Plus an ever-lengthening list of exclusions.)

I'm not sure this really should count, but it's nice and it had that tag on it, so WTH...

Pacific Racing Team hired the GuP group to make a bunch of pictures of the GuP girls in Pacific Racing livery. It became a meme and fan artists started contributing, like this one. Some of the genuine ones below the fold.

These characters are from "Idolmaster -- Cinderella Girls", and if that's how things are in that series, I may have to watch it.

(UPDATE: Actually, I'd watch this one, too. Thanks, Craig!)

I know this will come as a shock to some of you, but there's more to life than catgirls. There are also fox girls, who are sometimes kitsune and sometimes tenko. And they're especially awesome if they have more than one tail! (Today's search term is "fox tail".)

"If you make a fool of yourself in front of a cat, he will sneer at you, if you are sober; he will leave the room if you are drunk. If you make a fool of yourself in front a dog, he will make a fool of himself, too.”-- Chuck Jones

A cat loves you for what you can give it. A dog loves you for what you are.

With a fox-head cutout instead of a cat-head cutout!

Daww... don't you feel like giving her a great big hug?
