Guest What! I found some old photos....

I didn't think any of the photos of my first trips to Colombia had survied.

My first caleña wife went though everything I owned when she got here and I thought she had gotten rid of every single photo and love letter that I ever owned.

But, it looks like she missed a few. So I scanned them in and posted them. They aren't very good photos but what the hell, they are tne best photos of calipro that you will ever see.

They sure do bring back memories. They include photos of the first caleña that I ever landed or should I say that first one that ever made love to me caleña style. As it turns out, it was a life changing experiance;-)

One of the women in the photos is my old girlfriend in Cartagena. You know they used to let you party on the beach to all hours. Now they kick you off pretty early.

Anyway go to www.picturetrail.com and take a look. Type in member name calipro and go to the album: Colombia 1996 "the women that made me fall in love with colombia".

I think you better do some colour calibration on your equipment, personally I'd kick your ass if you posted pictures of me online, for all to see, with glowing purple lips.

Color calibration problem Maybe that's why those lips are purple; or perhaps she is a colombiana that chooses to be a little different; or, maybe calipro bought her that lipstick at Walgreen's. All I know is that if I brought that color to my barranquillera, her eyes would roll, then she would laugh her ass off, y entonces... la lanza en la basura.

at least now we know what calipro used to look like before the wildcats attacked him... up the legs and under the chest.

Miguel, I'd think that lipstick came from the Dollar store or the Salvation Army.

Calipro, thank you for sharing those nice pictures with us!

Cheers,
Desi

Hey no problem..... You're welcome.

So you guys didn't like that purple lipstick. hehehe!

Well what about the lips themselves. Don't be so one dimensional. That chick is actually still on my all time top ten list. She was one crazy, fun loving girl.

Cheer up you guys! It can't be that bad.

Hey ! If nobody likes my photos, maybe I should just start posting excerpts from the calipro journal. hehehe !!!

I don't know how exciting some of you will find them. But I guarantee that they'll be better than platanos;-)

babygirl says on Apr 18, 2005, 18:04:

Oh Calipro, I highly doubt they'd be better than platano's. You can't even compare the two. Why DO you post your pictures on here? Just really really curious.

calipro says on Apr 18, 2005, 20:10:

babygirl Why not post them?

Some people post pictures of the city skyline, buildings and the open country side of Colombia (how boring). I post pictures of the women I meet there. Believe it or not there are some people that enjoy my photos. I bet I have at least 25 PM in my inbox asking for the passwords to my other albums and 205 people viewed my last album called "caleñas in black and white" before I closed it.

You know I don't get anything for posting here and either does anyone else. I'm just telling my point of view of Colombian women and the differences I find from north american women. Some find the topic interesting and some even find it offensive.

If you get anything from my posts it should be that there are huge cultural and value differences between most colombianas and gringas. It is as big a difference as inductive vs. deductive reasoning. And the way a colombiana picks a potential spouse is much different than say an americana. If you don't understand them you will will end up attributing very negative motives for their actions and choices. I can think of a couple of people on this board that IMHO don't think very highly of caleñas for example.

So why is it, babygirl, that you look at my photos?

Just between you and me, I love it when people look at a simple photos and draw negative conclusions and make negative comments. It just shows their lack of understanding and mind set;-)

Chao, Calipro

Huh? I just asked why you post your pics calipro, what does that have to do with judging someone for how they go about picking a spouse dude? hahaa... sheesh. Why did I look at your pictures? All this talk of the famous Cali-chics I HAD to see what the fuss was all about, simple as that.

calipro says on Apr 19, 2005, 06:56:

What was I thinking? babygirl So let's keep it simple.

The reason I post the photos is the same reason you complain and a couple others complain about them.

My motivation is the opposite of yours.

My ulterior motive is to get you to complain about or make negative comments about the photos of course! hehehe !

babygirl says on Apr 19, 2005, 07:16:

I wasn't complaining, but seriously re-touch the colour on that picture. That poor girl.

I have a better idea, instead of colour touch up, why don't you treat her to a nice MAC lipstick next time you go down and take some new and improved pictures. cheers - babygirl

Hey calipro, this is really embarrassing but I I’ve fallen in love with one of those broads from you black and white collection, I think this girl is the most beautiful girl in the freaking universe. Man, you gotta hook me up,but please don’t let her know that I’m married, i'm old, poor and ugly and what ever you do , don’t tell her that I also screw burras , for some odd reason women don’t like to hear that. Is there a way I could buy a couple of those pics,and is not to play with myself or anything like that, my love for her is pure as fresh fallen snow, I don’t want to put her in all fours I just want to be near her.
The girl I’m talking about is the one with those incredible lips, eyes, hair, nose, everything!!! I’ll even go to freaking Cali for a piece of that.
i gotta go

over 5 million colombianos in USA and only 27 barranquilleros, i'm one.Curramba, el mejor vividero del mundo!

Stand in line..... Elmo

I don't know which one you are talking about but if it is the taller one with the lighter complexion then you are going to have to stand in line because I found her first.

The other one is kind of a party pooper. If you think you can turn her attitude around be my guess. Come on down to Cali while I'm there and I'll introduce you. Don't worry I won't mention your thing for burros.
