It was a helluva good picture!Wragg, if you just wrote that, the only thing to apologize for is that I can't whip out two stanzas of rhymed poetry at the drop of a hat, and that's not your fault.
Really nice verse, actually.

With your permission I'm gong to start calling you CSB. it's easier to type, and I am a lazy man.
CSB, I'm a parochial school survivor too, but only woke up to crux well into middle age. When I reverse engineered the kink I realized wasn't rooted in Jesus, but in naked girl martyrs. Sts. Agnes and Agatha gave me the hots by the age of 8.
But there's a dearth of crucified females in the Catholic martyrology, and Raquel Welch or no the idea lay dormant in my mind until much later.
FYI, that Pricess Celestia cartoon came from a balls-out blasphemous Rule 34 site.

Outstanding Jastrow! Excellent colour, lighting and atmosphere!It has been pouring rain here today and so I thought I'd post this one of a young woman crucified in a torrential downpour.

whose legend has her definitely crucified; Candida was put to death on the Ostian Way,
which strongly suggests she was crucified; Eulalia of Barcelona is supposed to have
been tortured to death while tied to an X-cross, though not strictly speaking crucified.
Markus' style can only be described as lavish and gushing, in the sense of sweat-drenched sensuality, orgasmic frenzy and female ejaculation.
Yep. He is so over the top.
Having gone on record saying that X crosses are cheating, I've resolved to post two more X crosses.
The first is a classic, holy shit!!! drawing by Cordero, from the period when he was doing various iterations of his Nynia character. The second is an unsigned, Damian-like manip featuring the same source model as the iron-imprisoned Galadriel I posted above, along with the Hogtied model.
Yes, St. Agnes Eve, the night of 20/21stth January, is traditionally the coldest night of the year,Even so, Eulalia. A definite dearth. And St. Agnes was the only one specifically stripped naked, slim pickings for my 4th grade libido.
And what's the story about this St. Agnes Eve business? Never heard of it before I googled " st. Agnes naked" yesterday.

On the whole that's a detail that get's airbrushed, though other martyrsAnd St. Agnes was the only one specifically stripped naked
They didn't have airbrushes back then, Eul.On the whole that's a detail that get's airbrushed, though other martyrs
(Agatha, Barbara, Lucy, Blandina etc.) were tortured and mutilated in ways
which necessarily entailed more or less disrobing.

What bemuses me as an adult is that in my elementary school library was a book that described in graphic detail various tortures, and specifically told mid-century preteen Catholic readers that St. Agnes was stripped naked.
And paraded through the streets to "a house of sin." Pretty transgressive stuff for Our Lady of Perpetual Chastity Parish.
There was also floor-length hair: that was a useful device. Agnes supposedly employed it in a story I read in Catholic grammar school. I suppose that it's possible, since keeping it trimmed would be a pain. But keeping it clean and bug-free would be harder, it seems to me. Plus, that would only work for noble ladies (which supposedly Agnes was). Slaves who had to work wouldn't be able to grow it long.They didn't have airbrushes back then, Eul.
However many paintings from 'the good old days' martyrs and Christ were painted naked and many had their 'privates" covered by other artists later on. Talented painters suggested this was done but the Vatican would never acknowledge such. Spectral analyzers that were hidden in camera bodies proved the paints were from different eras and chemical composition and later art restorers finally broke silence and confirmed as much...

Adding the Hilfiger and Calvin Klein logos to all the Roman uniforms, and the word "Vodafone" painted on the ground at Golgotha.Can you imagine the advertising costs of Di Vince adding a logo on the Speedo?
