michaelhobson Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Okay, so I am a "little bit slow" in unloading my camera. The infamous Panda Veg vegan chinese buffet in Richmond. We of course got the table closest to the buffet! Potter, Daywalker and Veganmadre. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/michaelhobson/DSC00001.jpg Potter selecting his next "raw" meal, and giving detailed Soy Delicious testimonials. I didn't even know Soy Delicious was a raw food. Go figure. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/michaelhobson/DSC00003.jpg Veganmadre, Michaelhobson and our girls Eva, Malani and Mayla at a November vegan potluck. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/michaelhobson/DSC00013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Great pictures Michael, thanks for (finally) sharing them! Potter selecting his next "raw" meal, and giving detailed Soy Delicious testimonials. I didn't even know Soy Delicious was a raw food. Go figure. Of course Soy Delicious is raw food! Or do you cook it before you eat it? Do you? See. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yay photos! Madre sure looks quite conservative in that family pic... Funny how the whole self-image vs. other people's perception sort of thing works. I've recently been told that I'm considered rather"conservative" & "serious", as well as that I've got the look/feel of a macho cop/"Aryan" (translation: "skinhead")! I can understand where folks get those impressions, am not horribly offended or anything & in general I think that it's all for the best - but it still threw me a bit... It's definitely interesting to learn about how others percieve us & to notice how we are often treated differently due to people's assumptions about us based on our "image".

Guest Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Richard you're rediculous As for the table I try my best to make sure my Richmond guests need not do more than stretch their arms out for a second plate. Boy I still can't believe how colorful that food was...must be very organic to have such festive colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veganmadre Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Yay photos! Madre sure looks quite conservative in that family pic... CONSERVATIVE MY ____ I'm just going to have to pretent you never said that! You must know, that what you can't see in that "conservative" photo is that I'm wearing a rather LOUD black and white horizontal striped shirt and that I'm bra-less! Haha! Take that. Yes, that is the "work" me. I find dressing for work highly amusing. I push the limits however I can - thighhighs under knee length skirts, no bra...The pink hair pushed it too far. My coworkers are already surprised by what they know of me - and they don't know the half of it. Who is that radical, swinger, hippie, nudist, socialist, vegan misfit? All the while it's amusing, it's frustrating, too. How much me can I really let shine through at work before I become inappropriate?

I push the limits however I can - thighhighs under knee length skirts, no bra...The pink hair pushed it too far. I don't really want to see that at work. I don't want to get all distracted and have to start walking around hunched over. LOL. I do work with a lot of women and it's nice to work with a lot of pretty ladies.... They're nurses though and don't dress provocative. I think all the swinging and all that is refreshing though. Eh, potentially complicated but probably still a good thing at least for those who can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're nurses though and don't dress provocative. I think all the swinging and all that is refreshing though. Eh, potentially complicated but probably still a good thing at least for those who can handle it. I don't feel that I dress all that provocatively. The thighhighs may be visible on occassion but the bra-less thing is more of a feminist/hippie ideal. I don't even think it's noticible that I'm without a bra. My good female friend at work assures me that it isn't obvious. (I don't , after all, want to jeopardize having a job...) I find it a shame that men need to hide "being turned on" and that women are supposed to be shamed for being provocative. If men like it and women also enjoy it, it's a complimentary thing. I don't think it's a far stretch to say that lots of women crave being desired. Why the massive Victorias Secret campaigns and makeup and heals? It's also pretty clear that lots of men like looking at women. So why can't we all be more open about it? Women keep dressing sexier and men are supposed to hide actually being aroused? Seems ridiculous to me. Anyway...didn't mean to take over this thread with more rambling. I, obviously, am going through a stage of breaking down what I feel is societally constructed and what I feel is my natural predisposition...

Odidnetne Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think Daywalker intentionally put his hands in that position so that it would be easier for Richard to photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife says if women don't wear a bra their breasts will get a lot more saggy with time. Is there no truth to that? i really don't know. My grandma thought jogging would stretch out your ear lobes.

Seems ridiculous to me.It's ridiculous and annoyingly dishonest too. We can't be more open about it because it's highly frowned upon by so many people that any guy could seriously regret trying to be more open about it. It's tied into the contradictions of our weakening christian ethics which still control plenty of people who aren't even christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veganmadre Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) We can't be open about it because our girlfriends like to keep us in line (FIRST OFF, I'm a very very sorry to all of you whom I may have annoyed by turning yet another thread into a sexual discussion! ) "our girlfriends like to keep us in line??" What the devil? I'm sorry, but I'd rather not live under a fucking rock! What woman honestly, truly believes that she will be the sole person you'll desire? That's mind boggling. Depending on your relationship and what you are comfortable with, she may be the only object of your lust but, really, you're not allowed to look at other people and be turned on??? Please explain.

Guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 To be perfectly honest with you I've never been attracted to someone else when I've been involved with exception of when I used to watch a lot of porn when I was a teenager. I see women as being attractive but to me when I'm not single an attractive woman does little more for me than an attractive man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm certainly allowed to be turned on and I make sure to tell my wife all about it. Just not allowed to act on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm pretty sure my girlfriend wouldn't mind at all but I'm just not into anyone when I'm involved with someone...I would tell her if I did though...I just doubt it'll ever happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well that's cool. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. My wife says she's never been the slightest bit attracted to anyone other than me and we've been together for 8 years. Slightly hard to believe.... I don't mean like seriously thinking about someone else by the way. Just noticing someone else as being really attractive and all that. We were at a party for example and there was this eritrean who looked like Iman (the model, I think that's her name?) and I told my wife, "Damm she's HOT!" And my wife agreed. Eh. Whatever.
