Liked your ice cream shot; Eric, you've got it all the wrong way around: go to the beach when there are all those semi-nudes around. You could get lucky!
Funny about different countries and their mores: once in the 80s when we were in Florida and the two models and my wife were lying topless on the beach making the most of non-photogenic light to try and retain even tans since we weren't able to shoot (even colouring is important to models), some ladies walked past and made very rude remarks to the three of them, called them whores etc. which, to anyone coming from Europe at that time, seemed utterly strange and possibly from the moon. Same thing in Singapore, where the manager of the hotel came over to the model and asked her to cover up, or use another little terrace that existed, not that he minded, but it was distracting the staff... at least there you could perhaps expect it because of the Moslem influence in that zone, but in sunny Florida?

Happy New Year
