Meet The Lady
A tumblr blog created by myself and Help, I can't stop talking!, Meet The Lady is a compendium of ladies whom you might like to meet. Or not -- no pressure, really.

I love Mary Hartman.

It would be good to have a note on who the ladies are and why we should meet them. Also credits please.

I second the idea to add the names of the ladies.

Thank you, but the lack of context is an important part of this project. You may recognize some of the ladies on your own (and in the cases of photos, some do have click-through source links), but first and foremost, all of our entries are meant be appreciated on the basis of their own aesthetic presentation. Our motto is "No captions, no explanations."

Nice! I appreciate that some of the photos are links to their sources, as attribution is important in any project. I wish all the photos were that way, though. Also, an NSFW warning would be nice as I'm seeing a nudie pic (even if only a '20s nudie pic) on the main page.

Some of the unattributed photos are personal family photos of mine, once I have them set up in a proper flickr album I'll go back and create a link.

I suppose a NSFW warning is a good idea, the content is extremely variable.

I love it. And I earnestly discourage you from adding an NSFW tag. This is becoming ridiculous. Only in the land of wardrobe-malfunction could people believe this is a good idea. Please. This reminds me of the habit of genuflection, or one-knee bending, that was demanded of citizens in Ireland in the 1960's before altars and crucifixes. Someone, somewhere, has to call shenanigans.

Now, back to having fun with the project. It is a great idea!

Okay then, I agree. If you're working at a job that lets you surf the internet, and you get in trouble for viewing MTL, I will shave my head and wear a sackcloth to the next meetup in sympathy.
