Well-rounded wives

The shoes were obviously new, and a beautiful pair of legs topped them. The photo just shows that a military wife can be beautiful and sexy, as well as intelligent and hard-working.

Intelligent and hardworking?

I don't see that in the picture. This model may very well fill that description but the picture doesn't convey that to me.

My first impression of the photo was, I wish I had a pair of shoes like those. I can understand the photo may make some feel uncomfortable but more than anything I think it says many contrasts exist in our world. I would suspect the photographer will win an award for this photo. An enterprising photographer may have even planted the pink shoes.

While it is true that some women run a bit loose while the hubby is away I think it is well know that it is much more common the other way around. What is the old saying...A girl in every port?

Well Rounded Navy Wives

When I lived in the San Diego area, some of the wives would hang out at a club in National City called the Trophy Lounge, when their sailor was out to sea. Many of them were very attractive. They were known locally as the Wespac Widows, even though their sailor was very much alive somewhere in the Pacific. I think I'll end this comment here before it violates posting guidelines. lol
