When I was a very young boy, living in San Francisco with my about 80 year old grandmother, she took me to a birthday party of her 90 year old "boyfriend" Mr. Cuester. He was a old play boy of the late 1800's in the area, made his money in the rice market, and as a hobby took many pictures of the area in the late 1800 - to about 1920. He had flicker films of San Francisco both before and after the earthquake of 1906. Anyway he was a "eccentric", always wore a Tux, and was bald except a very long hair strand which he wound around his head and "glued' on. Anyway at the birthday party, where he had invited several of his old 'girlfriends, I was bored so I went to his living room and looked though his many-many photo albums. First time I ever saw porno - found a whole album of over 500 photos were from the cat houses of San Francisco in the late 1800's. ALL the "neked" women were "sizable" and more than chubby. He came in to check on me and when I asked him about the pictures
"innocently" he replied that they were all his "girlfriends" of many years ago and he liked them 'fat". He lived to over 100 and when he died I think that all the photos and old camera eqipment were trashed by his niece who inherited. Seems that "fertility goddesses styles" change over time.
