PRESIDENT TRUMP from Mount Rushmore: "You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both."
"As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land, or that our heroes were oppressors — they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen." @America250@Freedom250

@mistressalexya I tried to observe the scenic view of the mountains and valley behind you but my eyes kept going back to adore the splendid curves of body.

@kabamur@wowAwesomeness@Joan1Barb In essence, this has become a home away from home for the members of the GF. As you have mentioned, GF has been here since assisting humans in the beginning & have bases throughout this planet. GF is like the babysitter of Earth and will bring us into Sheen.
My last business trip of the year. I hate driving in heavy fog but it looks spectacular flying above it. Have to say that I'm liking the large video screens that Delta has on their jets.
The ancient Romans were known for their love of luxury and indulgence. Wealthy women were no exception. One of their most bizarre and unusual beauty trends was the phenomenon of using gladiator sweat for facials.
These facials were believed to improve complexion and maintain youthfulness. The sweat of successful gladiators was considered a potent aphrodisiac.
In Ancient Rome, most gladiators were revered by society for their physical prowess and fighting skills. They often fought to the death in front of cheering crowds in the Colosseum.
The more successful a gladiator was in the arena, the more potent their bodily fluids were believed to be. Turns out that their success could literally rub off on you, or so the Romans believed.
It’s unknown exactly how or when this trend got started. But soon wealthy Roman women were seeking out the sweat of these gladiators.
The sweat was collected from their bodies using a tool called a strigil. This was used for scraping off dirt, sweat, and oil across both Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. It would then occasionally be mixed with olive oil. This gave it a better, more desirable consistency. It was then sold as a facial cream to the women of Rome.
The facial of gladiator sweat was just one of many beauty trends that made use of their bodily fluids. Gladiator blood was supposedly another popular commodity, again sold as an aphrodisiac. Some historians even report that the blood of wounded or killed gladiators would be mixed with wine and drunk.
Despite being a common practice in ancient Rome, the trend of using gladiator sweat and blood in beauty products may seem barbaric and gross by today’s standards. However, it is a fascinating example of the lengths that people will go to in the pursuit of beauty and youthfulness.
