Crouching Venus

A terribly unflattering pose for someone with a tummy and boobs.
So this is all I could manage.

Your bum looks fabulous from that angle, I really like the shadow between your cheeks

Also 'crouching Venus, hidden dragon', Mr G? That made me laugh very loudly indeed Best comment ever!

One would go well on my mantle. Will they be available at Hallmark stores?

A stunning pose! But don't deny us the appeal of your "tummy and boobs"...having some warm, soft skin to snuggle up to is always a favorite activity.

As women, I think we are much too hard on ourselves most of the time. Do not underestimate your beauty Icy because you are beautiful! Your tummy and boobs are too!!

I've been so sick, I had the perve knocked right out of me! No browsing the threads, no comments, no replies. So now that I'm returning to myself, the first place I want to look is this thread.

Breathtakingly gorgeous! Your total lack of adornments allows us the opportunity to see your complete beauty.

BTW...a marvelous hairdo.

Thanks so much, m'dear. Sorry you had to wait so long for the thanks. I might just give up on replies on my thread.

The origins of the Greek version are unknown, but there were a great many Roman versions. This one is referred to as the "Lely Venus" by Doidalses of Bithynia sometime before 200 AD.

She makes me laugh. The accepted story seems to be that she has been surprised at her bath and is covering up for modesty. That is not what I see at all. Her patience has worn out and she is about to deliver a sharp backhand to the buttocks of someone naughty.

This interpretation is the saving grace of this challenge for me! HA

I had to sit on a coffee can do get this pose right, it was the only thing that was the right height. I did take it out of the photo though so it looks like I'm sitting on nothing.

This was a mother fucker of a pose I have to say! Now I know what the guys went through doing The Thinker pose! Thanks to the men for doing that one!

But, I do like it even though my boobs look weird.

I LOVE it, Tali! Your hands are sooo graceful.

haha, you didn't want me to get a cramp did you? that's why you gave me a plinth! I appreciate it since I was too lazy to do it myself!

Lit isn't letting me upload right now or I'd share it, I'll edit later when Lit is behaving.
********************************

Okay, Lit is behaving now, so here's Fishfryers edit, he felt sorry for me hovering, ha!

Thank you Fish!!

Thank you, Fishfryer! Fun edit.

.......

Adorable!!!

I agree about the pose, Icy, but you have made it beautiful! Walk around the statue for a better angle, right?

You obviously had your glasses on at one point. I didn't even notice the leaf. An excellent representation.

Challenge #9: "Crouching Venus:"

I'm sorry you were sick Mara, but you've recovered nicely it looks like! I always love your sexy renditions and that thigh!

 

[murmurmara]

A lovely rendition, Mara, as always!

Thank you, H. Had to step outside my comfort zone for this one.

You done extremely well with the position of the legs. A valiant attempt.

Thanks!

I'm sorry you were sick Mara, but you've recovered nicely it looks like! I always love your sexy renditions and that thigh!

Did you notice that I'm perched on the edge of a purple plastic crate? I laughed when I read about your coffee can.

 

[Icy1]

Well I think it is a fine rendition. I am pleased that you did it despite your misgivings.

Thanks.

Nothing unflattering here - great attempt at the replication DAve

Thank you Dave.

Very flattering angle, no matter what you claim about other angles that would be just as enthralling: Crouching Venus, Hidden Dragon.

Enthralling could be a word for it.
Lol. I always enjoy your comments. Particularly this.

Doesn't look at all unflattering to me - another delightful pic, Icy!

Thanks. I tried to turn the statue.

Your bum looks fabulous from that angle, I really like the shadow between your cheeks

Also 'crouching Venus, hidden dragon', Mr G? That made me laugh very loudly indeed Best comment ever!

Thanks Numi.
Lol

A stunning pose! But don't deny us the appeal of your "tummy and boobs"...having some warm, soft skin to snuggle up to is always a favorite activity.

I'll save those for different poses.

As women, I think we are much too hard on ourselves most of the time. Do not underestimate your beauty Icy because you are beautiful! Your tummy and boobs are too!!

Thank you Tali.
It feels better to put your best side forward though. Lol

Nicely done Icy

Thank you.

You appear to have managed quite well.

Mutually beneficial so what more could we ask for?

Oh how I have enjoyed catching up here, you ladies are all so very wonderful

Sweet.

Challenge #9: "Crouching Venus:"

I love it! You took the "backhand" comment to heart. Since I've been quite naughty lately, I'm assuming I am going to be the recipient. I'm already cringing at the sting that's coming.

Emmy! I missed this at first. Your first LWoA pose, and let me say, you are a work of art. Beautiful!

 

[talikat]

Did you notice that I'm perched on the edge of a purple plastic crate? I laughed when I read about your coffee can.

Yes I did notice the crate, I wish I had one! LOL The coffee can was the only thing low enough for me to get that bend in my leg. Wish I had some big rocks laying around.

 

[talikat]

I ate all my apples so I used a pear and I don't own a hand mirror so it's a penlight in my left hand, but you can't really see it, so no matter!

JR, my knees thank you for his pose!!
