Flankr7 and any others who haven't found this trick out: When there is no "see all sizes" button to click, you can sometimes (not always) still get a higher-res version. Whether because they halfway figured it out or just out of sheer cussedness, it isn't as straightforward as it might be, because if you try to do it from the regular-size image page you get the dreaded "spaceball." What you need to do is right-click, not on "save picture as" but on "properties" to get the url of the file. As I say, on the picture itself it doesn't work (at least not for me) but if you go back to the thumbnail, either in the search or the photoset page, you can get it there. Use that url, but substitute for the "_s" or "_t" (just before ".jpg") either "_b" or more rarely "_o" for a really big one. Only if both come back with the "image not available" box is there no (that I can find) larger one. Hope that helps, and anyone who has further figured this out please feel free to expand.

Right. I had figured out this trick for "spaceballed" images a while ago, namely how to use the thumbnail to get the medium (no extension) or the original size (_o) image, but never even noticed the _b extension. When you reposted the undersized photos I realized my oversight and went back and regrabbed the images that were available in the _b size. Most of the images I posted were already as big as they can get, or weren't worth reposting, but there were a few that benefit from a larger size, so I'm reposting them here. So basically the next seven images are just reposts, but if you like what you saw already then it'll be worth clicking on them to see how much better they are in the larger format (including an even better frontal of the brunette just for elvis...).

OK no more reposts. New photos.

[flanker7]

Aaaaaand more.

[flanker7]

A few more.

Let's take a break for another mini-tribute to the go-go dancers. Damn that blonde is a minx.

A few more choice non-nudes. They might be clothed but they're still exhibitionists. Serious nippage in several pics (in pic 6 you can make out pretty much the entire aereola/nipple of the girl in the middle), and I included the Asian bubble-wrap girls again because they make me smile. Thank god for those American Apparel ads...

Lastly, a full-on tribute to my favorite girl so far, the Asian Wonder Woman (AWW). She's a total cutie, and she seems to love partying and showing off her body for both her friends and the camera. One of the hottest things about her is that she's the only one in her whole group doing so. One thing I've noticed about B2B is that most of the women that go nude or semi-nude are always either in groups of other nude/semi-nude women or accompanied by a nude boyfriend/husband. In her case, she's traveling with a large fully-clothed group dressed in superhero garb (see the first pic for a team photo), and she's the only one showing any skin at all. She's obviously the exhibitionist and the extrovert of her group, and has no problem dancing around and letting it all hang out for everyone--both her friends and onlookers--to see. The first few pics show her partying and getting her drink on, and the rest show her posing boldly for risque (roleplaying, whipping, fondling, straddling an inflatable cock) photos with her fully clothed female and male friends. Hot stuff in my book.
