That girl with aptitude

Not the usual (recent) fare for this humble site, but I spotted this picture on my twitter stream (I’m @EroticMadSci for those of you who didn’t already know) and sort of fell in love. It’s captioned “Janet Lee, the MGM girl with mechanical aptitude.” Sadly I’ve been unable to find out much more about her. The picture ran on Cory Doctorow’s twitter @doctorow:

In turn it tracks back to the tumblr inthedarktrees.

Girl to robot

This girl-to-robot transformation fantasy is a reminder that the initials A.S.F.R. came from the Usenet newsgroup alt.sex.fetish.robot. Remember Usenet? Remember when .gifs of naked people came as three or five or even seven big blocks of alphanumeric text that you had to stitch together and then decode into a picture? I remember all that. I’m old.

This illustration is reblogged from this this 15 March 2015 post at Infernal Wonders. The illustration there is listed as Robotized girl by an artist named “Aleksecond.” Aleksecond once had a DeviantArt account, but that has been deactivated and reverse images searches, sadly, don’t disclose where if anywhere he or she might have gone to.
