Great Pics Found By Phlebas And Other

Go to CruxDreams.com
A crux pose from a ca. 1905 mainstream compilation of nudes that maneuvered around censorship by masquerading as a tutorial for posing photographs.

The caption roughly states,

"Rays of hope - An effective nude study on a composition depicting the martyrdom of the crucified"

so they aren't pretending it's anything else than a crux pose,
but interestingly they use the male grammatical form (eines Gekreuzigten)
so yeah sure, you are totally supposed to use this photo of a nude woman to model for the male pose in your Calvary composition.

Apparently they thought the idea that a female crux pose might represent an actual woman's martyrdom was still just a little bit too spicy.

In general it's pretty hilarious to read excerpts of it
- while the captions very occasionally have valid comments on posing and composition
(and negging the models in the captions was apparently an established thing),
there is next to nothing about photography & studio work,
instead it's unhinged philosophical ranting about the metaphysics of nudity, heartfelt condemnations of clerics & the church, and recurring ironic condemnations of so-called 'pornography' which of course has to be completely removed from society - these parts are so obviously written to appease censorship that one can assume the guardians of virtue got a lot of free copies...

NCR soldiers crucified by Caesar's Legion (Fallout New Vegas). Second picture is as close to the game as possible. All pictures are masterpieces.

I love these Kef34 pics. This looks like more of those legionaries at work.

I'd have been much more invested in the election if MPs who lost their seat were put to the cross as a warning to others

[on the advice of my lawyers, I stress this is a joke]
 
Good lawyers are worth their fee ;)
Especially if there's a chance of a guarantee that Richi Sunak and Liz Truss will never be back in Parliament!
Parliament is a funny business - I mean if it were a company, and they did such a bad job that the shareholders sacked them, they would never be back. But in Parliament, all they have to do is sit on the opposition benches for a few years, and wait for the voters to forget and then try for it again.
