Naked
The BNL Ships and Dip Naked Photo ’09 (taken by David Bergman, Big Deal Photographer).
Here I am, in front of the yellow waterslide (edited to protect the innocent):
Okay, you should see three women- I’m behind the second woman from the left. (I’m not edited. Check out my pixels.) See the sunglasses? Somehow this tiny 100 pound woman in front of me kept me from being all out there.
Natural
So, in a search for makeup that doesn’t make me look like Marcel Marceau made over to look like an aging Joan Crawford, I selected a new shade of lipstick that seemed more natural.
It is more natural. In fact, it’s the exact same shade as my lips. This is me with three coats of this lipstick (not lip gloss, lipstick) on the left side.
That’s not what’s funny. The shade is named “Demure.” It’s me, don’tcha think?
Romantic
Saturday night, as we were watching Grindhouse and Quentin Tarintino’s testicles were dripping off, I snuggled up to my (screaming, writhing) husband and whispered, “This is the best Valentine’s Day ever.”

Woo hoo!!! Naked people!!!
Oh my… naked pixels. You have crossed the line, young lady.
P.S. Repent, sinner.
I’d say ‘naked’ goes better with the lip photo.And were your sunglasses a sort of last defence?
demure….ha! Is it my imagination, or are the naked people cozier in this year’s picture? I remember there being a comfortable amount of room last year, at least in my area of the lido deck.
Also, with SO MANY naked bodies in a confined space, was there any, er, contact?
Ajooja – It really is fun being naked in public. I noticed I was very lax about keeping my robe tied tight this year.3 – Nuh- unh – I crossed that line the very first year.Big Dot- Since they are prescription sunglasses I find I forget to ever take them off – for example I had them on at 9 at night indoors on the cruise and I’ve worn them till 9 in the morning at work.Kristie – David made us be cozy, since there were way fewer of us this year. I know I had to personally invite individuals to stand in fornt of my pubes.Big Dot-oh, no never. Oh well, there was a rumor that when Steven P was in the pool with the floaters that some people did inadvertently float close to him and accidentally touch him, to his distress. But thats just a rumor.
The only part of the cruise I really miss was the naked photo. *deep sigh*If you want people to REALLY be able to see you just let me know and I can get it up in full res for you! Bwahahaha
That photo is the key to the whole cruise, me thinks.
Surprising Woman – Nu-unh! Can not! Not this year, as I understand it.Magpie – Yeah, you do get a real sense of community. And you get to see the band’s nethers.
Man, and I only posted the first year. I guess I will have to get a new scanner (my old one doesn’t work with the XP SP or Vista) and get year two up there. Now they are all snarky and stuff? What up with that? Oh well, I can still find ways to satisfy my rebel gene.*wink*
Surprising Woman – and you were right, btw, the rumors are still flying.
Well, did you really expect it to be otherwise? I mean, give me a dang break.I did order a new laptop today and I have the option of a cheapo scanner so I wouldn’t be surprised to find the second cruiz-ah memoralized in its full res glory.I really didn’t expect another cruizah next year. Dr. Sexy will no longer be the chair in July but he can’t take a sabbatical for at least a year (damn state legislators!) so maybe in two years we will be ready again.I think S-man and his skank seem to be doing very well. I can understand his finding someone that he was not married to as his one and only. . . but seriously?????I saw her videos before she took them down, she has two kids with two different dads and an active drug life, that isn’t a problem? I guess I have lived long enough that I have made my own mistakes but I have to say, NONE WERE AS STUPID AS SJP’S. For serious.I have seen many sets of photos from the cruise and he was no more visible this cruise than the last, maybe less.Dr. Sexy used to tease me about being all “warm” for SJP and we would both laugh like hell. The joke has left the building. I would sleep with someone off the street that had lots of money before I would sleep with SJP. My new dude is Obama, but he is not as fun to joke about. I wouldn’t touch SJP with my husband’s d*ck. Sad, so very sad.I am glad you made the cruise, but I am SERIOUSLY glad we didn’t .xoxo
Surprising Woman – Actually, I think everyone who gets divorced needs a Transitional Relationship. (Children, google that if you need to.) But, yeah, my lust has left the building too.
