G-String Anomalies

Chestnut Anomalies: The photographer says, "Maybe I've got a dirty mind, but this chestnut was asking for it".

The caption below this photo read, "Air on a g-string? A photographer friend was bending over while trying to catch a tricky shot. I caught this tricky shot". Yes, it highly opportunistic, rather than tricky!

Copper Canyon Boat Party

The note below this beautiful photo says, "Girls in bikinis climb Rocky Cliff and jump; Copper Canyon Boat Party, Lake Havasu, San Bernardino County, CA, USA. These two girls were climbing the rocky cliffs that surround Copper Canyon. The crowds on the floating party city of tied together boats below cheered as they jumped into the chilled water of Lake Havasu."

Kustom Kulture: women modeling for custom cars

When technologically advanced automobiles designing gave way to the old manufacturing technology, encasing wheels in fenders and extending hood to the full width of the car, the former practices became rather impossible. Further there was tremendous advertising and public interest in the new models of automobiles in the 1950s. For this reason, custom cars began to be developed, swapping headlamp rings, side strips, tail lights, grilles, bumpers, as well as frenching and tunneling the head and taillights.

Re-fitters or re-builders of custom cars even cut through the sheet metal, removing bits to make the car lower, welding it back, and adding a lot of lead to make the resulting form smooth. Chopping made the roof lower and sectioning made the car body thinner from top to bottom. A process known as channeling cut notches in the floorpan where the body touches the frame to lower the whole vehicle body. In the custom car culture, those who just changed the appearance were looked down upon. So, people went for total car customization.

Essentially, chopping and channeling are customization procedures in the ‘Kustom Kulture’ and among hot rodders, both procedures are sometimes applied together. Sectioning is used to remove horizontal sections from the car body. It also has the advantage of reducing a car's frontal area and reducing wind resistance. This sort of bodywork is popular on race cars, kustoms, minitrucks and leadsleds.
