Dillon's new catalog cover.....

....I've already had to endure the calls from women who are offended by the cover, and one from a woman who was upset because she didn't want her teen-aged daughters to see their father lusting after a slut on the cover of his new catalog.


You have to wonder if these ninnies have the same reaction over the Victoria's Secret catalog.  They put saucier stuff than Dillon's latest cover on prime time network television.  I see racier stuff sitting in plain view in the supermarket checkout isle - in magazines marketed toward WOMEN no less.  

The only problem with this month's cover is that the model was a looker and that the shot really "worked."  I'll bet a lot of major publications and ad agencies would kill to have a cover that great.  

I'm hoping the folks at Dillon take any minor uproar as a compliment.  Ya done good.

Not three minutes ago I SAW the Victoria's Secret network TV ad...! To call it soft porn would be polite.  Artistic--definitely. Makes the Blue Press stuff is VERY soft.

(And I gotta deal with 105 ladies in a business group--I'm on the board--who, would you believe, are offended if I call them "ladies"!! What am I supposed to call them, bitches? chicks? babes? worse? Political correctness has gone too frappin' far, I tell ya. There are some females over HERE than need 'teaching'.

What's more, none of the 105 know that I shoot. I don't dare mention it. Yet.  

(Hmmm... perhaps I should move this to the What I Hate forum....)

Yeh, some people really have made my life complicated... political correctness, my a**.

Here's my take: Every lady is a woman, but not every woman is a lady. Amen.  

(or is it Awomen...?).(Heh, sorry.)

PS--Please don't anyone call me SiG Person...!

Another note from Mark,

"Duane,

I think it's one of our best covers ever, primarily because it was kind of an accident. We had been shooting inside the hangar, and I decided to drive the HMMWV around behind the hangar for a few outdoor shots (It was hot, so we didn't want to spend a whole lot of time outside). Once she jumped up on the hood, well.... We used the shot for our posters AND our cover. What can I say?

Mark"

"PS--Please don't anyone call me SiG Person...!"

Duly noted!!!

Duane,  thanks for finding out about that particular shoot.  If they didn't make that one a poster I was planning on flying out there and picketing till they 'free the babe!!!'  

As a novice mini gun nut I assume the gun behind said goddess is the one and only.  Not to sound too homo but could you get them to make a poster that would feature our favorite kitten with GE's greatest product more prominently displayed!!!

   

 P.S. Duane,  maybe with your INSIDE connections you could get us some info on the lady.  Maybe even get her to do a 'guest appearance' on the site.  I predict it would be the ' most active'  post to date!!!

No, he called it "porographic."  I'm sure that must be different.  

;)

The latest BP arrived today.  I laughed so hard at that piece of hate mail, I damn near fell over.  I was in tears.

*sniff*  A shooting buddy dropped by the house to see my new baby (9mm SV) and he liberated my copy of the blue press....  He promised he'd give it back this weekend.  I'm scared, very scared.

Call me nuts, but if I'am (heh) going to write a hate rant letter to a magazine, I think I'd take a minute or so to make sure I made sense. And if I wrote a letter like this guy, I definetely wouldn't leave my real name/city/state. Whenever I see results for a match from WI, I'm definetely going to look for the name Rick and laugh.
