Simone Sansregrets: A French Photographer in Tahiti

Great shots Gary! Great background too!

She´s so sweet, and the light and background gives a Thaiti feeling to me. Thanks for showing

Thank-you.

Cute figure, and I love the bamboo hut and tropical setting... and the transistor radio reminiscent of Gilligan's Island.

Which brings me to a question. Ginger or Mary-Anne?


On the same topic, was at a dollar store yesterday an picked up some bamboo sticks, usually used for tomato plants. I think I may improve that hut a bit over the weekend.

Great pics. The hands on the camera really sell it. And I so love the tropical hut background.

I agree, the background and the accessories steal the show. Great photography, of course.

For a number of years I was in the Mary-Anne camp, but recently I have been watching the marvelously restored Gilligan's Island episodes telecast on The Sundance Channel, and... Ginger! Definitely Ginger now! Perhaps my tastes have matured. Or perhaps in the past I was intimidated because "a movie star" was so far out of my league. But who am I kidding - Mary-Anne is drop-dead gorgeous and exponentially out of my league too. But these days: Ginger, no question.

Looking forward to seeing the bamboo-enhanced Tahitian Terrace!

As an off-topic note: the Gilligan's Island episodes on The Sundance Channel are preceded by a "sensitive content warning" due to insensitive language and racial and cultural stereotyping.

It's kind of funny that in the 60's, network sensors would allow racial and cultural stereotyping but not allow a woman to show her navel on screen. Both actresses were drop dead gorgeous, but while Tina Louise received all the hot, sexy fan mail, it was Dawn Wells who received all the marriage proposals.  Men dreamed of having sex with Ginger, but it was Mary-Anne they want to take home to meet the folks....

As a confession, I too was in the Mary-Anne camp, but today....would probably opt for Ginger.

P.S. A while back you shared with me your secret for bracelets to hide the joints, but I can't remember what it was.

I actually had to modify the camera a bit to allow it to fit into the tiny, tight little gripping hands of this figure. Essentially I glued a short section of bamboo skewer, though doweling would work as well, to the front left of the camera, making it resemble the grip or a modern camera or in those days, a motor drive. Anyway, it works. I can't wait to get more anime figures.

Very cool and the house backdrop is very nice too.
