Like I say, it has nothing to do with anything other than me wondering what you do/did in adult, and pure curiosity on my part  |
In 1986 my mainstream business began to grow rapidly. I have my degree in mechanical engineering but the growth meant hiring more engineers. Pretty soon after I grew myself out of my engineering position.
I liked computers and when the internet started I thought it would have merit to learn HTML.
The consultant I hired to teach me finally asked the question what do you want to build your website about? I told him Porsche's..He came back a few days later and said that Porsche was very protective of their intellectual property and I would be flirting with a lawsuit.
So he asked what was my second choice.. bikini babes! So we registered bikinipage.com. in 1998. Within a few months several playmates emailed me and wanted to be featured and it took off. Yahoo was good to the site. #1 or 2 listing for bikini babes for nearly 6 years. I made investments in several large paysites during that era. Silent investor.
I always told myself it was a fun and very profitable hobby but when it stopped being fun I would get out. Earlier this year a member of this board took it over and I am totally out now.
I still post and read GFY because during those years I did a lot of business online and made a lot of friends.
