Playing The Long Game

Woman Attends Funerals for Two Years Hoping to Catch Undertaker’s Eye

After falling for the local undertaker, a Brazilian woman spent two years attending funerals in her community in hopes of catching the man’s eye. Daniela Signor and Apollo Scariot surprised a lot of people when they arrived at their wedding venue in a funeral hearse, but to those who knew their unusual love story, the choice made perfect sense. Daniela first laid eyes on Apollo in early 2023, while attending the funeral service of a deceased relative, and immediately knew she had to do everything she could to draw his attention. He was the funeral director and seemed to be too focused on his job to notice her, but she didn’t let that discourage her. Every three months or so, she would attend funerals in her community just to see Apollo and hopefully get seen by him. It took a while, but her strategy actually worked.

It took a while, but Daniela caught Apollo’s eye at some point, and after dating for a while, the two tied the knot last month. They arrived in a hearse because it just fitted their story so well, but they made sure to explain it to everyone. “Everyone at the wedding was shocked, but during our vows, we explained everything – we read out our story,” Daniela said. “Then people understood why I arrived in the hearse.”

Gotta respect the effort. She saw what she wanted, and she got it!

More at the link including a video and a Facebook post. Might need a translator.

Being brave doesn't mean you're fearless. It just means you do everything you can to overcome it.

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

------
Dive in! It is Swimsuit Time!

Miami Swim Week happened this week, giving us insight into this season’s swimwear trends. But first, a quick history of the swimsuit.

In the 1800s swim costumes were modest, but not very functional. They were made of wool or flannel, which means heavy and hot.

When did swimwear start to become scandalous? 1907. Australian Swimmer Annette Kellerman made waves (😊) by wearing a form fitting one piece suit.

The 1930s were a pivotal moment in the history of swimwear. It brought us Ester Williams and a glamorized beach culture by Hollywood. The 30s also brought a new fabric- Lastex- that was stretchy and had rubberized yarn, revolutionizing swimwear.

The two piece was not called a bikini until 1946 when French designer Louis Réard debuted the “bikini,” named after the Bikini Atoll nuclear test site for its “explosive” impact. The daring two-piece, exposing the midriff and navel, shocked the world and was initially banned in many places.

By the 1950s, the bikini gained traction, thanks to Hollywood icons like Brigitte Bardot, who popularized it on the French Riviera.

Fast forward to today and the 2025 trend reveal. Big this year?

Mermaidcore:

Retro vibes, swim skirts and swim shorts, which is a refreshing change from the micro bottoms that have been trending recently.

Pinks and reds:

Straps and strappy looks:

Which suit is most flattering for your body type?

With that, I am of the opinion the suit that you think is pretty is the one that is best for you. If you like the print / color and you are comfortable with the coverage, wear it with confidence.

Thanks once again, Piper!

The ONT is kinda curious

This could be interesting

I once heard discussion about this on morning radio. One of the hosts said "I Donald Duck it" - shirt and nothing else. So he's a #4 guy. Any of you care to reveal your preference?

Another question - socks or no socks when sleeping?

In case you're wondering -- I'm a 3 with no socks guy.
