I had just found what the Fock is this all about!

They were part of the “pwetty fleet”, my ice mining operations back when Ish flew a booster Orca, Yiole a Hulk, I think, and Cecilia Matilda Fock some other mining barge. Indahmawar made the market runs to Jita and I think that Matilda Cecilia Fock dabbled in exploration, maybe?
Also they were introduced as part of the cast for the stories at The Greater Fool Bar maybe two forum versions ago…
Now the Focks are AI slop because EVE is the only game I’ve gathered a pack of pretty girls and I’m all for making pretty imagery with pretty girls. 
Guess that I’ll have to get back to that Cartagena shot now that I’ve expanded my range into custom faces and slightly better resolution… the outfit turned awesome.
But now I’m off to bed. Night night lovelies!
Also: nothing to see here…
Photograph: Topless Shoeshine Girls at a body rub parlor, by Dick Loek for the Toronto Star, 1975
The levels of WTF in this picture are many… the topless shoeshine girls shone shoes for free (!) as a draw in for a body rub parlor (!!), which were business providing non-medical massage services by non-registered massage therapists. And as you might figure, that loose definition degenerated into various degrees of sex trade in no time, which led to many problems. Since zoning allowed such business only in industrial zones and other low-traffic areas, the body rub parlors would find imaginative ways to draw in foot traffic.

There was a huge flood in Istanbul the other day and a somewhat obscure celebrity named Elvin Levinler had the sense of pulling off the highway and wait with her soulmate until the water subsided a few hours later.
Zaera never knew that the man who ruined her career and her life, while sending subtle signs for her to keep her spirits up when she thought that that man never existed and she was all hallucinating. Meanwhile, the man, eternally young, every night fell asleep in his bed, watching this on a loop on the large screen in front of the bed until he fell asleep with a gentle smile on his face, dreaming of the confused angel in mortal human form named Zaera. He wondered if she ever realized that she was actually a cosmic being with unlimited power and having the real form of a gleam of blinding light in true spirit form in the afterlife that is not unlike a 7 feet person, trying to fit herself in a 1 foot box. He giggled at the idea and longed the day that he could shift to that dimension to see the shock and anger on her face realizing that she’d been played all her life, but had no power to harm him physically, because she was in spirit form. He took his sweet time, grinning at her, lazily mouthing “ouch” until Zaera got all her anger out to revive her and then embraced her to have reenacted the video in a private simulation for indefinite amount of time. Making up all the ordeal she went through her seemingly eternal punishment that was her life. They were so preoccupied sighing with silent ecstasy that they missed the fact that they rested like that while Supermassive Black Holes opened and expired one after the other in the universe. The important thing was that they were together again and they were in no rush to be anywhere.

Photograph: Trolley - New Orleans, by Robert Frank (1955)
This iconic photograph of a segregrated trolley was born from a whim; Robert Frank was shooting a parade and suddenly he turned around and saw the trolley stopped right behind him, and shot as the passengers reacted to the photographer suddenly turning around to shoot them.

This method isn’t strictly about loaning books, it works for any kind of favour. ”I help you, so I guess I like you”. It’s how those ”can I borrow your phone” scams work.

(Cabinet cards were commercial photographs in a preset format of 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" that was large enough to display them on cabinets and other furniture, often featuring publicity of the studio)
