Pictures Of Beautiful Women - The End

It's done.  I published my last post on my beautiful-women picture blog.  As a farewell, I featured and dedicated my blog to Naomi Sims (below), the late trailblazing black model whom I had long considered the epitome of black feminine beauty - all feminine beauty, really - before her untimely death in 2009.

In the final month of posting, however, I found myself deleting older posts for a handful of women, some for supporting Donald Trump.  Among the women who turned out to be MAGA were race car driver Danica Patrick and singer Carrie Underwood.  But there were other women whose cluelessness about the Trump oligarchy went beyond the pale, like Gayle King, who took part in Jeff Bezos' all-female Blue Origin space "mission," and singer Katy Perry, for the same reason - and quite frankly, Perry is such an airhead and such a mediocre singer, that I should never have included her on my blog, but I posted her to fill space - the worst reason  to post anyone or anything on a blog.  I also got rid of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), whom I posted long before I stopped including politicians on my blog, mainly for supporting the spending resolution in March favored by Trump but also for pushing Al Franken out of the Senate for indiscretions one-two-thousandth as serious as any of Trump's.  Kristen Welker, once my most popular subject, also got deleted for asking Trump about running for a third presidential term, which hasn't been allowed for about seventy years (I talked about that before). 

And Sheila Johnson, a model I once idolized . . . I already talked about how she turned on me and dismissed me as a pest.  I deleted all but two posts of her on my blog, and there were a lot of them. 

As I said before, my beautiful-women picture blog will remain up until the end of May, then it's gone.  Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, though, I plan to return with a new project . . . I have an idea for a Web site on Wix.com or some service like that, a site that would concentrate on models and not at all on anyone else.  I have no idea when I will get such a site online, but I know that I will use it to celebrate all of the top models I celebrated on my blog . . . except Sheila Johnson. 

The end of an era . . .
