It sucks to lose trees, you have my sympathy.
I couldn’t find the My Ex was so Stupid thread and wanted to post an update to it, so I guess I’ll have to do it here.
Back when I was young I dated bodybuilders. I shared a few stories about them in the above referenced thread. One I didn’t tell was about a photo session on the beach, both of us tanned and oiled, me in a g-string, rouged nipples and lots of jewelry (including chained nipple rings aka Sweater Bumpers), him in a gold sequined thong. He was on his back lifting me and I was doing that bored, head propped up on one hand thing that you see on TV.
For the record, being the lifted girl is HARD! Keeping stiff and balanced takes a bunch of concentration and practice, getting my bored expression right took forever. Not to mention that he would sometimes leave bruises if he grabbed too hard when I was falling.
Anyhow, we looked hawt and the pics were great. Over time, my physical copies degraded and/or got lost.
I was recently contacted by his widow who said he had treasured those pictures and kept the negatives and did what he needed to do to preserve them and kindly offered to send me online copies of the five pics he kept.
Hubs wants to have one printed and framed so we can hang it in the living room.
