As a Boob Guy and A Man In The Seafood Business I’ve Never Been So Turned Off By Women’s Undergarments In My Entire Life

Rachelauren Somers forwards this photo spread from Juxtapoz Art and Culture Magazine–

UNDER THE C-CUP
Monday January 23, 2012

In response to the over-arching presence of porn-industry aesthetics and plastic surgery perfection in today’s culture of beauty, Laura Jacobs has created a collection of awesomely outlandish nautical-themed bras, exotic aquatic shrines to the power of breasts. Equal parts silly and sexy, these bras directly reflect the duality and often circus-like nature of society’s perceptions and treatment of female sexuality.

Blah blah blah blah blah, to see the other pictures of sea life undergarments at Juxtapoz click here

They call it “Erotica Under the Cup”.

I’ll tell you one thing, some broad whips off her top to expose a lobster/crab claw bra covering up her naughty bits and I’m heading for the hills.

Bill O’Connor At North Shore Kid Made The Middle Street Walk Event Schedule Web Friendly For Us

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Lots of people when putting together advertising for local events they still think in terms of printing flyers.  Bill from North Shore Kid get’s it and took all that info designed for flat print (and there’s a whole lot) and re-entered it with the proper hyperlinks to each organization so people can follow up with any questions and find contact info for each participating community organization by clicking through.

Chickity Check It! Cruiseport Gloucester’s Port Parameters for Gloucester, MA USA

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

My buddies Peter and Vickie Van Ness are the creative masterminds behind some of the best websites in Gloucester.  They are the driving forces behind http://gloucesterma.com/, www.gimmesound.com , http://rudderrestaurant.com/ and Cruiseport’s site-

Cruiseport Gloucester

Understanding the idea behind the www.gloucesterwebcam.com to drive visitors to our local business and community organization’s websites, Peter and Vickie did what I’m hoping others will do with their webcams- embed them on their sites to give visitors a reason to return to their otherwise static websites.  If a prospective visitor knows that every time they click on that business or organization’s website they will have the live scenic view of beautiful Gloucester harbor, they will have a reason to return over and over again.

So here is the page on Cruiseport’s site which gives Gloucester Port Parameters for incoming vessels-

Brilliant!  Great Job Vickie and Peter!

and great job by Tim at www.GloucesterBytes.com for doing a fantastic job with the webcam install!

Chickity Check It!- Marty’s Son Brian Has His Own Photo A Day For 365 Project Going

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Brian reminded me yesterday whene he stopped down the dock that I used to refer to Marty as the other guy, having known Brian through his New York Waterblog a full year or two before Marty decided to move here and make all the rest of us look like amateur photographers. 

It was two years ago now that I met Marty when he made that fateful trip with Brian to Gloucester for the Dory raffle from Upstate New York and Brooklyn-

Chickity Check It- Gloucester Quilter Blog and Webcam!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

FOB Dot has recently started a blog about her quilting-

http://gloucesterquilter.wordpress.com/

image

Dot writes-

I started quilting about 20 years ago in the middle of a life style change. I borrowed my elder daughters Featherweight machine, got a pattern book, some fabric and set out to make my first quilt. I still have that quilt today to remind me of how far I and the industry have come.

20 years later quilting is my passion. I make quilts for beds. You can throw them in the washing machine and put them in the dryer (on low heat) and then after 20 years buy another one. They are like a good pair of old shoes that last until you need a new pair.

I favor the Log Cabin design in my quilts as the geometric pattern creates an eye appealing textural effect for me. I choose over 40 different fabrics in varying shades to accomplish this. I use Warm and Natural batting and always good quality cotton fabrics as I am lucky to have a wide variety of fabric shops in the area and never need to shop the discount stores.

I am not a smoker but I am a dog lover with 2 Labradors to keep me busy when not at the sewing machine. (I now have a Bernina) I will be breeding my year old pup Stella in a few years and all the puppies get a quilt when they leave for new homes.
I enjoy working with my hands even though they are becoming a bit arthritic. Sewing helps to keep them less hurting.

That’s all for now……enjoy my quilts
