Just a bunch of useless bums by graemestevens

Just a bunch of useless bums

In 1890 CC Wards opened for business in New Plymouth. For the last 25 odd years, and on past retirement my mother has worked in this store as one of 2 trained mastectomy "fitters" for those who have had breast cancer and removal (including, ironically, my mother). 124 years later, due to the apparently fraudulent behaviour of the current owner when it comes to relationships with the Tax department and Customs department, the store is closing down.
Mannequins abound, as do spare limbs, torsos and busts.
And bums.
There's a veritable plethora of bums.
In fact, it's like the musical climax of a soap opera episode...bum bum BUM!
Time to stock up! :) Looks like plenty to choose from. ;)

LOL - here we go again Graeme. You've got me giggling inanely! Love the way the light and shadow work.
May 8th, 2014  
This is fantastic! What a creative shot.
May 8th, 2014  
@voiceprintz I could do with a new one myself...I have a crack in mine. Ba boom.
@ceilidh thanks very much...would it help you stop giggling if I told you it's tagged for the "bad-ass" challenge?
@jess1204 thanks very much, it's was giggle-worthy getting these shots

It seems as though the owner has quite a cheek! Hoho.
May 8th, 2014  
Great shot. I'd buy one - any of those look preferable to my bum!
May 8th, 2014

A collection of bottoms - fantastic. Sorry to hear about the company though
May 8th, 2014  
@rachelwithey Thanks, I love a nice bottom.
May 8th, 2014  
I like how the first one had a "cheeky" mole - great capture excellent lighting
May 8th, 2014  
@scolgs Thanks very much...I almost edited the mole, but it adds "character" to an otherwise perfect backside.
May 8th, 2014  
@graemestevens so glad you didn't edit it out it makes them look more real

Cracking shot, very cheeky, bummer for the company and so forth. You only have yourself to blame for becoming the butt end of all these awful jokes (they really do stink).
