... about these 'long-shots' used as the 'header' pics
on girls' pages [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/rant.gif[/img]
Take a look at Kathy Anderson's one.
Be honest; would you have recognised her from that
atypical, reduced-scale shot? Maybe at a second, harder
look, and if it was at the scale it is in the gallery,
but why not avoid the issue in the first place and use
the excellent second, instantly identifiable, gallery cap
as her headshot? [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/tut.gif[/img]
I've reproduced the [some of them offending] items here
at the sizes they up/download in, so although the first two
thumbs look identical clicking on them wlll demonstrate the
difference in scale:

When I was a lad there were none of these 'Pirelli calendar'
shots; a mugshot would be detailed enough for you to see
the girl's distinguishing marks, such as duelling-scars,
pockmarks, acne, bogeys up her nose [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/oldie.gif[/img]
One should bear in mind that eyesight-defects are probably
more common in the denizens of these August Halls than in
the population at large, due [as in my case] to extreme
old age, chronic substance-abuse [yep, tick that box, too]
and the impairment in function induced by chronic morbid
masturbation [no comment], so any visual aids provided
need to be as large as possible. [In this connection I should
inform you all that my campaign for a 'Large Print' version
of the forum is going exceedingly well- donations have now
topped the ?7.50 mark, thankyou all, you know who you
are, I will provide a full report of the jumble-sale and
sponsored cheese-rolling in next month's newsletter...].
This unnatural practice must cease forthwith [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/swear.gif[/img] I shall
be writing to my MP, yea, even to the International Court
of Hyooman Rights at the Hague, I will not cease from
mental fight till we have rebuilt Jerusalem in egafd's green
and pleasant.... ah, I see Nurse is here with my medication,
and she says it's time for my nap [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/sleep.gif[/img]
Thankyou for your... bow of burnished gold... attention...zzz...
