Picturing Bianca

[Henry M]

I think that the "perfectly shaped" bottom for many, if not most men, 
IS a child's. A-and little girls can have very nice legs. Haven't you
ever seen a commercial on the tube that lingers on a pair of "cute"
legs for a moment before pulling back and revealing that they belong
to a little girl. I'm sure the mixed emotions and guilt that people
experience when viewing it sells a lotta product. A-and it goes by
practically unnoticed compared to Calvin Klein's in your face ads.
