Sometimes, some news looks like a “snippet”, not a filler, as it really was news, but no plan to expound. That was the first thought, looking at Laura Perrins:
… and at her post at TCW:
Essentially, concerning a high-end restaurant, not cafe, Michelin starred, in Tuscany and her two points are firstly about a restaurant owner who wants one star removed as he’d prefer to be more downmarket, less “w*nky”, more popular … and secondly … about feet and toes putting her off her food.
I’d agree about a high-end eatery as a rule, esp. in the evening but … and again, it’s a big butt … this is Italy she’s talking about, presumably in summer … hot climate and the girls have these designer flat sandals costing a fortune, floral, gemstone, suitable for semi-formal day wear … plus gals always seem to have as much upper foot and ankle on show across the world as possible … why not … it’s a gal thing, innit?
Plus, if you do have a nice set of pins and their lower extremities are shapely, not mutant, no awful tatts … such as in her post pic … then to my mind, it’s less of an issue for a pretty gal … maybe for a raucous demi-man it is.
With men though, the hairy beasts, well, the less of their flesh I see, the better, sorry to offend you boys. Men, let’s face it, are better covered than uncovered … even supposed Adonises.
Back to the gals one moment … it really depends on femininity. One of the greatest turnoffs in Britain is those gigolos and hard, near-naked hoofers who dance with them on shows such as Strictly. Thing is … they really feel they’re ravishing.
I’m going to take a random file pic from archives of one lady I find better than any of those celebs, stars, whatever … how about … hmmmm, this lady:
Can’t get much better than her!
I love the so many unmentioned “knowns” she/this represents.
For example-
understated elegance/femininity
no tats, etc
modest yet attractive attire
much attention to detail. providing love care affection appreciation of a job well done
a neat tidy orderly composed environment
stuff like that.
I personally very rarely anything approaching such a scenario.
😒

That stove is really-weally fabuloso!
…..
JH: You want the stove or the lady?
may I have whichever she doesn’t?
Juan
Take the lady, Mister Juan ! No use to lil ole moi!
The stove is M I N E! 😃
Heeeeyyyy now, hold on there fellas….just how does she manage to remain so nice and neat and well coiffed (band box fresh) if she is really cooking and doing other chores?
She is not from my neck o’the woods, especially with our long summers! Simply being is nigh impossible! 🥴
Good Day Miss Toodles,
You are of course correct. I was being the typical Appachian Hillbilly (which I was raised there, so I can own it), going for a cheap joke.
I do still find the entire photo refreshing and wholesome.
Take care maam.
Juan
