1. Ah... the Venus of Willendorf
Fertility goddess extraordinaire, and one hot mama!

9. KC...yes..but modesty and blue hair does not a venus make!
KC...in fact...sponge bob square pants was my first choice...for the pure joy he seemed to project..then Marge was second...but blue hair...unless I was willing to do my hair blue...well. So it left me with venus....whom I have loved since I discovered her in my anthropology class. :bounce:

2. "when WOMEN" were what?


Worshipped? Aren't they still? :-)

That's the Venus of What's-Its-Face, right? Hothengothenberg, or something - I seem to recall that a few have been dug up from different sites around Europe. It's probably a fertility fetish or touchstone, right, even if not solely confined to human fertility?

I bet if I had a naked female as my avatar, I'd never hear the end of it... *sniff*

17. Mine is the fully-clothed Elvis of Tupelo, worshipped by the
likes of Lennon, Dylan, Springsteen, and others for entirely different reasons (though fertility did enter into the picture for wannabe rock stars)... :-)

And cute is as cute does. :D

13. But the important question is:
Does she make you feel fertile?

Or similar? If so, I know this guy Forrest . . .
