The sun may be interfering with this Era photo, but it certainly doesn't detract
from the loveliness of her petticoats (and with pleats!)...

 FOLLOW-UP ANNOUNCEMENT...

Late in 2007, Curtis A, a long time prolific Pond contributor, initiated a new Yahoo Group entitled "Hot Costume Girls." It's mostly photographic in nature and features hundreds of images from his vast collection, in categories like CosPlay/gravure, Gardetanz, sexy costumes, tutus, dancewear, cheerleaders, and lots more. It contains absolutely no nudity, just pretty girls in sexy outfits. There are
also regular updates with new photos. Membership is by approval, as are photo submissions; applicants with empty or incomplete
profiles are denied...the application must contain something from the intro as proof they have read it.

Here we go again! This is the ninth time in five years Tessy has posted this image on the Updates; every time she goes to meld it into the site, she is taken by it all over again. Sorry, but thanks for your forbearance and understanding.  When it comes to this picture, Tessy is like a child.

Tessy finds this image to be stunningly beautiful, and the  haunting epitome of femininity and, while we cannot see her full tutu, just gazing at her countenance is heaven enough, surely making many of us wish...well, for Poufies, Tessy needs not to complete this sentence, does she?

Joanie comments:

"Do you notice her strong facial resemblance to a young Ingrid Bergman? 
At least that's what I see. For reference, take a look at some of the close-ups
in
Casablanca."

"How many clouds of scented lace kiss each other under your skirt?"  
  C. Govoni (1884-1965)

 

WHEN I SEE...

A fetching lass, enveloped in tulle,
declaring, defining the beauty of man(kind)

Slim of waist, contours of mystery.
Dark tresses which defy description,
a mantel of the soul.

She leads on, unaware of her uniqueness--
Classic,
Haunting,
Deep auras of eyes
Deep vibrations from the heart
Deep color of the gentleness of her inner self.

I see jealousy
+I see my yearning to take her place
I see, also, my utter, deadening sadness.

Tessy Staylace -- July 12, 1992

Update Page Policies

Generally, updates are linked to the appropriate area so you do not have to search for it.  We keep updates for six months, after which we merge the individual entries into the appropriate areas of the site.  Very rarely is anything discarded.

Pettipond  ALWAYS attributes the source of pictures when possible.  Image contributions should include the source, when possible, so at least the site from which it is taken can posted with it. It makes no sense, and is unfair, to have the same image on the Internet more than once, especially if the site originally posting it doe not at least get the benefit of a link. If an image is not attributed, and later is found to be in violation of copyright laws, it will be removed.

The Pond is FIRSTLY a petticoat/bouffant/crinoline site, and SECONDLY a TG site.  Image contributions are always welcome and appreciated, but our policy is to not post TG images (with the exception of Poufbunny Parlor Pinups and the occasional VERY passable CDer).  Please do not be offended - there are many TG sites on the Internet, but only ONE Pond, and we want also to be inviting to GGs and non-TG males who merely appreciate females in petticoats!

Pettipond Reflections response additions will NOT be listed in this area.
