4. Here is a nice big one from the same site. Hosted. DIALUP WARNING

I was going to grab a smaller copy but the site was being pissy. They don't like direct linking at all. So I grabbed one suitable for framing, shrinking or just plain lookin' at.

Besides, a small Venus de Willendorf is an oxymoron in my book. ;-)

10. Then you are, Madam, in my book, a very beautiful lady. While...

...I find nothing wrong with slim ladies, they have never been as easy on my eyes as a woman so generously-appointed. Many different hands carved the various Venuses which have been unearthed. I believe the oldest was 24,000 years old. While they vary a bit their focus on a full, female form is something I will find attractive and I expect will remain attractive for millenia to come.

Regardless of what shame-based advertising would like to push on us all.
