Girl is a relative term

I think it's a healthy exercise, every once in a while, to be exposed to the extremes of life. Whether you're wandering a city street and encounter a homeless person or visit a hospital and meet some people whose health is getting the better of them.
Our bodies are a great source of consternation. We're either too thin or too fat, too short or too tall - or something in between. Generally, we're not happy with our exteriors, hence the boon in fitness activities like diet books and so-called "health" clubs.
Once in a while, it's necessary to fall back and establish a little perspective. I'm here to help.
The caption below this photograph reads (in part): Professional bodybuilder Dayana Cadeau of Canada poses during a press conference for the 2007 Ms. Olympia in Las Vegas, Nevada September 27, 2007. NO ARCHIVES. NO SALES. EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NOT FOR SALE FOR MARKETING OR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS.
Editorial use? OK. Here's my editorial. In the words of Eric Cartman, "Dude, this is pretty fucked up, right here." How's that for editorial? Anybody wanna buy this photo? I didn't think so. Just so you can resume your normal daily activities, here is a photo of a real girl.

OK, so maybe "real girl" falls somewhere in between, but I'm guessing it's a lot closer to the one in the little white skirt than it is the one with her hands over her ... um ... breasts. And now, for my own benefit, and because we haven't mentioned golf around here for a while, here's what we'll call, just for today, a "happy medium".

There it is gang, your daily perspective. Thanks, Christie. You may now resume your activities.

i thought that first picture was a cross dresser for hells sake.

she'd hurt you anthony.

now the second girl-she's pretty. i bet those are real boobs too because she looks like a victoria's secret model and they can't have fake boobs. my gosh i can't imagine what life must be like for the beautiful people.

the last girl? she's cute in a girl next door sort of way.

which in all honesty-is the prettiest.

Yeah, a little gross. OR a lot.

Thanks, Kimmyk. Precisely the point I was trying to make.

Well Dayana could be a bit extreme for sure. I'm a photographer who specializes in female physique photography. There are some much better examples out there of women who look fantastic with muscle.
