Dated the diver version of this woman! Gods she looked just like that at 50, only with blonde stripped hair from living in the sun and under the Gulf. Same smile!

Tough, independent, beautiful, strong, all that. Same size even! So wish I could post a pic, not asking permission. In another world I could see her opting for motorcycles instead of SCUBA. She was quite a woman.
