What you don’t know doesn’t hurt!

With a several things on my mind, I entered the pub as I’d do it any other day - this time alone. She was standing there, talking at the bar with a tall guy. To judge on the way she leaned towards him, he was most probably her boyfriend. Or they were even married. They certainly had some kind of relationship, based on their body language, one way or another.

It wasn’t crowdy that night. Just the barkeeper, two of them (at the middle of the bar) and a group people at the other side of the bar, the oposite side of where I sat.

The guy who sat with a group of people at the other side of the bar, wasn’t special in any way. Not by his look, not by his style - and not even by his appearence, like being charismatic or so… He was from time to time laughing and repeatedly buying drinks to a group of people around him, so he obviously had money, was definitely in a good mood… or he was just being generous that particular night. Perhaps a little bit of all that.

Yet attractive

The woman who stood there with her boyfriend at the middle part of the bar, was turned with her back towards that group of people. At some point her boyfriend went to the toilet and as soon as he dissapeared behind the toilets door, she went quickly to the other side of the bar to the guy who was buying the drinks and she gave him several hugs and also a few kisses on his cheek. Then she gave him a few more hugs (she obviously knew the guy and liked him for some reason) before she quickly returned to where she previously stood with her boyfriend, so that (in total) a few minutes later when he returned, it appeared as she stood there all the time and hasn’t been anywhere at all.

Thus her boyfriend didn’t see a thing.
So he won’t get hurt, at least, not that soon.

Having witnessed such an event, it made me think of similar story I read in a book or saw on Discovery channel, can’t remember where exactly … That other story goes as following:

Skipping around

The male bird and the female bird (a couple) are skipping around on the ground and collecting together some worms and seeds food. At some point the male bird skips behind the bush and loses his partner out of his sight. As soon as she’s aware of the fact that her partner is unable to see her, she pays a visit to a neighbour male bird and they quickly copulate. And when I say ‘quickly’, then I mean it took her just a few seconds, as it’s commonly known, the most birds do this extremely fast. ;-)
She then quickly returns to a spot where she previously was - and skips around as nothing happened until her partner bird returns… who of course didn’t see a thing either, just like our fellow above.

Male bird shall most probably seek the same opportunity, but for him of course it will be far more difficult to find another female bird who would (secretly or biologicly) want the same, as the female birds are the ones who make the final choice in order to select the best possible reproductive genes… unless this particular male bird has a huge territory on his own and an access to many female birds, which is very unlikely, as not every male bird can have it all.

Pretty funny in a way, to recognise the very same patern among the human. It makes the evening even more exciting when you know where to look and what things to observe, even it appears at first sight there is no much going on in a pub during such a quiet evening.

It seems though, we do not differ that much from other animals after all.
Or even from Borg. ;-)

… except that we can use makeup, parfums, cool clothes (or even the power of money!) and make ourselfs prettier and much more attractive then we trully are.

We can also use genetic tests in order to find out who’s fathering whose child.
But the latest doesn’t make us more beautiful or attractive, does it?!

It does however help us find out the truth when there is a need to seek one.

Young Nicole Kidman

A few days ago, I received the e-mail from photographer Lette, telling me that previously selected Zyla’s pics (from our photoshoot with Zyla several weeks ago) are now finished and ready to use. She gave me once more the access to her photoalbum database.

That day, before the shoot started, as soon as I saw Zyla, I said: “I’d like to make you look like young Nicole Kidman!”
For some reason she made me think of this famous Australian actress at once. It seems other people were unable to make this connection that very same day… so, perhaps it’s just me.

… or perhaps it’s just that we often see, what our eyes want us to see.

Fabulous eyes

Any way we look at it, this young girl has fabulous eyes (and a little bit of humor too!). That’s one thing I’m very certain about.
