Nothing is Sexier than a Corset...
Nothing is sexier than a corset...some are superstitious as to the beginning of this garment, or possibly devilish concept. But the corset has been credited with causing a whole litany of health problems. It’s been said that they misshape internal organs and cause cancer. Other illnesses attributed to corsets were fake, sexist conditions, like “hysteria.” There’s also no record of a woman having a rib surgically removed so she could better fit into a corset, which is a particularly absurd myth, given how deadly surgery was in the 1800s.Collector’s Weekly
The corset merely gave a figure a smaller waist-line and it surely wasn't as risky as one would imagine, but it definitely contributed to fascination; and one that seems to have allowed today's fashion to be worn on stage.

Not just any Banyan Tree
This Banyan tree is 230 years old...and do you see a bug or is it just my imagination?
If you look to the right it appears a profile of a praying mantis has developed in this magnificent tree; that roots from the top to the bottom, creating this intricate trunk.
Just Wanted to Soar from the 19th Floor
I haven't had a moment since the holidays to write to you...but here is a shot that I took from the 19th floor during my short visit to yes West Palm Beach, with my SonyCybershot ... Amazing to watch how these birds seem to float and soar through the air.
