Image Challenge #1 Ahoy!

Hi, kids.  I've been AWOL for a little while (- so nice you noticed, and yes, I *am* looking mighty tan indeed, thank you...)

You might have occasionally wondered, "Where be that almost-charming-thou-slightly-simple girlie, Catt, who likes the Russian military lingerie, can't even play fair in her own haiku challenges, and once posted images of cutsie baby animals?"  Then again, you might have not given my absence second thought...after all, there are better things to do around here than wash your hair on a Friday night, right?

So anyways, I was at the zoo!  No, I wasn't admitted, and I never stole that Rhesus monkey, I swear.  But I'm a sucker for God's little creatures (and David Attenborough), even those of the slimy/biting persuasion, and some of my favourite ISM shoots have had a critter in it...either as a deliberate prop, or a curious rubbernecking bystander. 

Which leads me to ISM Image Challenge #1:  Critter Cameos.  Do any of you remember any particular ISM shoots with a fauna featurette?  If so, dust your favourite image down, and bring it to the forums for everyone to enjoy a second (or third, or fourth) time around...

(Note:  Cats are always very welcome, but "pussy" is obviously abundant and redundant). 

Annnnd...Go!

Re: Image Challenge #1 Ahoy!

Hi there Catt, long-time lurker, first time poster.  I've been a member of the site for a few months now but haven't quite made it to the forums yet.  But I couldn't resist your challenge.  I've noticed quite a few folios containing non-human sidekicks, and think it's one of the charms of ISM that not only do we get to see these beautiful women but we're also privvy to the flotsam of their daily lives, including pets. 

One of my favourite pictures recently was <a href="http://www.ishotmyself.com/public/view_image.php?g=ferret_about&f=83e39d831abb2171fed246c10c515b" target=_blank>ferret_about 071</a> by Jessamy.  There's something so sublimely comical about the expression on that ferrets face, somewhere between indignation and abject horror.  Did he have to sign a release form too?

Well now that I've had a chance to look around I've come up with a few solid entries for the ISM petting zoo.  Who would have thunk there were so many photogenic furry critters in here?

<a href="http://www.ishotmyself.com/public/view_image.php?g=mask&f=69c87b532ec4614d711ed9204143.jpg&m=img" target=_blank>
isidore's mask_081</a> is brilliant for both its composition and that fact that she could actually get her pup to pose like that. 

one of my other favourites so far is <a href="http://www.ishotmyself.com/public/view_image.php?g=ratrace&f=dfb871c3440df43ccb67f739.jpg&m=img" target=_blank>Jing's ratrace_102</a>, which walks that fine line between explicit and inexplicably cute.

and <a href="http://www.ishotmyself.com/public/view_artist.php?artid=f0538&folio=summerday" target=_blank>madeline</a> weighs in at number one ISM animal-lover with sets containing both <a href="http://www.ishotmyself.com/public/view_image.php?g=medusa&f=f25ca16dbbc8e1bb006231fcc83e84a.jpg&m=img" target=_blank>snakes</a> and <a href="http://www.ishotmyself.com/public/view_image.php?g=summerday&f=f294a9dd0fab4a665de79b28.jpg&m=img" target=_blank>crabs</a>.  um, the good kind.

I promise I wont rest until I unearth two of everything!

Hi, Alan!  Yes, I remember that one!   As for our little ferret friend, perhaps he was rewarded in other ways? (Peanuts, fruit and tummy rubs, you sickos!)

And welcome to the forums, btw - the good folk here are generally friendly, and there have been some interesting discussions of late (though I am still backtracking through them all, myself!).

Snakes and crabs?  O, my!  I'll have to check out her entire shoot, then...

Well it's not exactly an animal, but it's furry and cute and BRIGHT RED!!!  How about Misty_Star with Elmo & Me?  Extra points for her if it was a vibrating Tickle Me Elmo doll.  Now there's something you'd definetely want to put on your arc...

Hey Catt!

I don't have any real contributions, as all my favs have already been mentioned, and I have not yet had a shoot of mine where an animal joined in the photographic fun ... but you're cool and I wanted to post something 'cause I enjoy interacting with you! 

Actually, I had a funny moment with human animals the other day.  I was in my bathtub, shaving my pussy.  It was a late Saturday morning, the light was beautiful. 

Outside, were the men who were pouring concrete for the new patio in my yard.  My bathroom was not particuarly near them, but for some reason (which I do not know, because these men wear speaking Spanish and I am entirely devoid of any knowledge of Spanish outside of the three words I learned when I worked in the peep-show) a couple men were up on my deck, and wandered over by the bathroom window.  Now, they couldn't see in, but it just struck me as very funny that they were naught but a couple feet away from me, and there I was shaving the hair off my pussy, and they simply had no idea in the world that I was there basically doing a porn shoot with no cameras.

(Sorry, if I had a story involving guns or tanks, I would have told you that instead!)

Two of them on the ark, though?  How *do* you tell the boy Elmo from the (mythical, evasive) girl Elmo?  I think you should just lay off the booze, ilana, personally...

Hey there gorgeous Ms. Zille, long time no chat (what, has it been a week?!)

And human-animal tales will always go down a treat here too, I suspect - did you get that rush of adrenalin that comes from being so close to 'publicly exposed', in a sense?   

I've never been much of an exhibitionist, myself, but that feeling you get in knowing that you're separated from unsuspecting eyes by something as insignificant as the length of a brick, whilst doing something mischievious, intimate or sexual, really is such a buzz.

Probably the most daring I've been was a time, several years ago, when I had to take a train to visit my then boyfriend.  He knew exactly which train I'd be travelling on, and would watch for its arrival from his lounge window, as his house was right near the train station and he'd come to pick me up at night.  One evening, late, I stood up in the train carriage and flashed my boobs out the window as the train pulled into the station.  I'll never really know if anyone else on the carriage (or indeed, in the neighbouring houses) saw anything that night, but he most certainly did.

And you don't need guns, nor especially tanks, to make my day, Ms. Zille.  Thank you for sharing, hon, and I enjoy interacting with you too. xx
