Godiva Revisited

It is reported that Normand Veilleux ( the artist, not the horse
of the same name ), recently posted the following material somewhere
in some obscure newsgroup:
-------------------- From: Normand Veilleux ---------------------------
Subject: REPOST - Lady Godiva, etc.
A while back, I did a quick diddle of the original posting by
'Bungle'. Since I was quite happy with the way the horse looked
(wonder why ? :), I only did little modifications here and there to
the woman. These eventually added up and led to this:

Of course that position is quite fitting for a photograph or just
to show off her wonderful body, but not quite as appropriate for
travelling. So I attempted a major diddle to give her a more
suitable posture. Since line art is not my specialty, I had lots
of difficulties.

Now, seeing all this empty space behind her and knowing that
several women who read this group often feel left out when nudes
are posted, I decided to find her a partner. So ladies, this one
is specially for you, although I'm sure the guys will appreciate it
too: straight from Fantasy Island (the X-rated version!) :

The drawings turned out better than I expected. I was pleased
enough to post them, but I happened to show them to my graphics
friend who made several suggestions that I thought were worthwhile
including. Normally, I show him the stuff after it gets posted.
Believe it or not, most suggestions had to do with the anatomical
differences between males and females! For example: the guy had
a girl's behind and the girl had a guy's legs. Oh well, I guess I
still haven't figured out "the birds and the bees" yet. :-)
Where are they heading you may ask ? To the ocean for their daily
skinny-dipping ritual of course! Sounds like a lot of fun...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
No horse laughter ! Please !
BTW does anyone else claim they are the reincarnation of a horse ?
or have a horse named after them ? or have been named after a horse ?
Bye,

Oh dear ! Er...yes...I had a good giggle :-) You clearly do not read the postings of Ludwig Plutonium in the newsgroup sci.physics. Ludwig claims that he is the reincarnation of Archimedes and also a reincarnation of Pharlap, the New Zealand racehorse of 1920 or thereabouts.
