I know it's chauvinistic, but everytime Piper talks on TS that pinup pops into my head (I am still a male member of the human race!) No disrespect meant  Very Happy

I don't know what sig NQSonic is looking at but Piper's sig is anything but chauvinistic.  There is power in the woman portrayed in the image.  Feminine power with more than alittle tease but still...tease has a power all it's own.  My sig, and other sigs portraying men, show them is strong warriors charging toward the front.  An archetypal masculine quality and no one even thinks about casting a derogatory glance at it.  When a woman is portrayed with the same archetypal qualities the image is chauvinistic?  Sorry but I don't see it.  Now, if Heraclas had the image in the kitchen, barefoot, with a baby on her hip then maybe...but he didn't.

Excellent work Heraclas.

I was attempting to be humorous. Somewhat tongue in cheek.

Warwick, your points well taken, but, as a male, and I'm being serious now, I don't feel I have the right to determine what's chauvinistic. If a woman is offended by her portrayal in something, then she qualifys it as chauvinistic. I may disagree, but that won't change her feelings about it.

Let me weigh in here and say that I absolutely LOVE the art (yes, art) that I was gifted with.  I am probably one of the least easily-offended people I know, and having someone say "Wow--I think of this amazing art and associate that with your name/voice" is nothing short of a compliment as far as I'm concerned!

Let me tell you what I love about what Heraclas accomplished with this:  He gave expression to a feminine, sexy, tough, cheerful ideal--the kind of girl that the boys would have wanted to come home to from over there.  That's what I love about the WW2 Pin Up girls.  You got grace, beauty, feminine wiles, comfort....all in a package that was pleasing to look at.

Just like men, women have many sides.  I'm a mother and a wife, too--I know Pippin (my 9 year old who plays with me for those  of you who haven't met him) and my youngest would identify me as someone who WAS in a kitchen, making supper, giving hugs and kissing boo-boos.  How could I be anything but flattered by that, too?

I guess what I'm saying is--no one is one thing.  The femme fatale has a domestic side, just like the housewife may have a secret stash of stiletto heels, or the business woman may like to moonlight as a lounge singer, while her dancer sister may be working on her PhD in Literature.  

Isn't that what makes people so great?  None of us are one-notes.

So--I'd like to say THANK YOU.  To Heraclas for making something so incredibly beautiful for me.  To all of my BK family for being such wonderful people to play with--all of you are unique and amazing.  And I appreciate you. Smile
