Watching the pictures, I think we should have renamed the thread some time ago, replacing the word 'Beauties' for 'Women'...
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again
I don't see where the thread title states sex/gender.
Contrary to some beliefs, there are not only female members of this forum but there is a large percentage of people out there not too narrow minded as to only see "beauty" as some sort of masturbatory aid.
Everything is beautiful from the correct aspect, for they do say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
This thread has enjoyed dedications to beautiful people who have served and laid down their lives in service. That in itself is a beautiful act.
If some sad, lonely, frustrated and companion-less people wish to pervert this to get their jollies, shame on them.
Compelling photograph of a Soviet woman soldier with reverse inscription which reads "21.7.44 Gomel" (in present day Belarus) during Operational Bagration. It's always in the eyes. . .
