An Overview of the Corset


Thought I would pull back a bit from yesterday's image. One you have a corset laced, it seems a shame to to play with it more.

I looked up corsets on wikipedia.com and thought I would share with you the health benefits of wearing a corset. Perhaps we can start a new underwear movement.

Health benefits of Wearing a Corset

  • Corsets promote good posture.
  • Corsets can reduce pain and improve function for people with back problems or other muscular/skeletal disorders, such as Lordosis.
  • Some large-breasted women find corsets more comfortable than brassieres, because the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset rather than the brassiere's shoulder straps. Straps can chafe or cut the skin. However, if a bra is properly fitted, the weight of the breasts is carried by the band and not by the shoulders, thus eliminating this problem for even women with very large breasts.
  • Some large-breasted women find some corsets more comfortable and practical than brassieres, because a corset can support the Lordosis in back (a common balance problem on large-breasted women), and because the shoulders are free. And some find the broad-shoulder straps on big brassieres unsightly.

Apples in your cheeks


Here is the third in the progression. I really think I should be saying something profound with each image I do, but I am just not into artist statements. If the work does not hold up without extraneous words, then I am not sure it is valid (to me). Call me provincial, if you must.

Today's other part of the posting is a simple recipe for a facemask for normal skin. It is a bit sticky, but refreshing.

Gala Apple Mask
1 Apple, chopped (and cored)
2 Tablespoons Honey
Place the chopped apples into a blender or food processor and chop. Add the honey and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Pat the mixture onto your face with a light tapping motion, tapping until the honey feels tacky. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes (heck, look at more of my photos) and then rinse off.




Numbers 2-10 are still available for this print. Each print is currently $50 each (add $6.65 for shipping and handling, and 9.25% for sales tax if you are in Tennessee).
