I noticed something today

I am back. I did have a good thought but forgot it. Anybody knowing the whereabouts of that gem, please let me know. I was thinking of the word "preliminary". I know that the prefix "pre" means before, like prenatal is before natal or birth, but what is "liminary"? What does one do during the "liminary"? I just want to know. There is my normal curiosity taking over.

I am curious by nature but instead of posing my questions to the actors involved, I like to hypothesize and watch the behavior. Actions speak louder than words and are always more truthful. So, I like to judge body language to make sure it is in sync with the words.

That was a segue into nothing. This posting is like a collage. Not college, which unfortunately means no nubile co-eds here. Oh yeah, I remember what I wanted to write. I took the lad to get his haircut this afternoon. We walked to Luigi's as it is close by. As he is sitting in the chair, I am looking at his face in the mirror. I am struck by how cute my son is. He really is a good looking kid, and I say that in my most objective of ways, but with him it is hard for me not to be subjective. Hell, I have no trouble telling him when he is a little ripe and in need of a soaping and and hosing down. He sits there getting his hair cut and keeps his eyes closed. The last time I took him for a haircut was the early days when he would cry. Here, he just kept putting his head down. If it were any lower, he would have been able to put his shoe print on his forehead.

It was at Luigi's, while I was waiting, that I noticed a number of Playboy magazine's on the table. Being the male that I am, I was drawn to them, like a moth to a flame. Naked women! Pictures, videos, live, it is all good, unless it isn't and for that see my rant on nude beach experience in Greece. I realize that I do not think that I have really looked at a skin mag or Playboy since the 80s or maybe the early 90s. I am suddenly curious about something and I do realize that the sample I am commenting on is small.

I recall those 70s Playboys and Penthouses that my father had lying around. I do know that history of Playboy and the fact that pubic hair did not make their way into the magazine until around the late 60s. By the 70s, the pubes were there. I noticed that back then the models had a full bush. It was neat and trim, but a full bush, nonetheless. Here we are in 2006, and I know that pubic grooming has changed and that many people, myself included, prefer something less than the full bush. I was curious to see what was going on in present day Playboy. I was not surprised to see the one model with no pubes at all.

It is funny in a way to see how the styles and trends have gone from full bush to the clean shaven look. In an 80s reference, there is nothing worse than going down on a woman and getting all chaffed because she is going with the Don Johnson stubble look. Smooth, landing strip, trim bush, the first two are preferable but it is all good. Now, pubes running from the belly button to the thighs, well, that is just wrong, unless the woman in question is a Turk or a philosophy major.

Just thought you would all like to know. Ciao!
