That first time the point when I got into wetlook and messy had been seared into memory at around the age of five. I was watching a bunch of kids (all older than me) playing in an open fire hydrant some long ago summer. There were a few girls wearing nice dresses and shoes, and they weren't supposed to get wet. But the boys dragged each one in, soaking them completely.

Thats been a bit over 50 yrs ago. When it comes to all the possible interests out there, everyone tends to be the same and sometimes have the same basic questions. What I mean is, this isn't specific to just wetlook or wam. If we can accept this, then maybe human nature is universal. The only things that seem to change in this context is the technology. When I was growing up, before the internet, my only sources of wetlook were either in print or on the TV, but after 5 decades, I can see the changes that time brings. New tech showed me I wasn't the only one into this.
Whats going to happen tomorrow? No one knows but I would bet that when everyone gets there, they probably couldn't live without whatever it is they come out with.

As for models, models don't really change. (Human nature) The way I see it is if the model wants to work, we can offer them plenty of work and opportunities to travel if they like working with us. If not, I can certainly find other girls who will. There was always those who won't work or say they will do it for some astronomical amount in a polite way to say no. This I believe will never change (human nature) The only thing I can say with certainty is, at some point, our production will come to an end and we will close the store, when I get to the point when I can no longer continue.

And on another tangent you raised, I also remember the days of Victoria's Secret (and Frederick's of Hollywood) catalogs that were fun to go through. Those, and 99% of all printed catalogs, no longer exist. It doesn't make sense to pay the printing costs, just stick the photos and ordering information on a website, send an email once a week (or more) to the email list you've built and you're done, at MUCH less expense.

You and I are of much the same mind on that - and of similar ages too, I suspect - late 60s here. As things have gone to the occasional and highly prized find, to the ubiquity of today, what excites me has become much more narrow, and spontaneity/candid - plus the woman enjoying/having fun - are a large part of it.

Unfortunately, as you probably know as well as anyone - the "political correctness" society of today is making spontaneous/candid harder and harder to find - we're going backwards in that regard.

We need to bring back pie gameshows in the US for 18+ like Brazil.

I'm convinced there was a WAMer in Japan that was high-up in show business that used to push pie games in the idol shows. They stopped very suddenly a few years ago and I wonder if he finally retired or something. I miss those shows very much.

I came here to say this! I wonder how the readily available infinite (well, not infinite, but you know what I mean) gungings will shape peoples reaction to it. The scarcity of this kind of thing growing up definitely seemed to make it all the nore potent and my reaction to it all the more intense. It wasn't scarce in that i guess people were ginged pretty often on telly but you' had to wait and hope to catch it (and as ive said before i couldn't even watch gunge with others in the room). Certainly anything 'sploshy' from an adult-only or 'porn' perspective was mainly made up in my head. Seeing 'Splosh!' for the first time in FHM magazine while in town with mates....i nearly came/exploded/died on the spot.

Still...now i can see someone gunked by clicking a button on my phonr and it hasn't gone away. Just different I guess.
