A flavor of India - Bengal tiger maximum card, and a Pole Gymnastics videoclip
This is a postal card, not the back of the above viewcard. But here you can see the same pictorial postmark.
A future custom postcard that I'll create:
==================
Speaking about feline moves and physical strength...
[I'm just kidding] BREAKING NEWS: Stripclub performers, pole dancers, sex acrobats, etc. from around the world are outraged by the newly-approved, worldwide mandatory routines for Pole Dancer Licensing Exam.
The routines are inspired from Indian Pole Gymnastics.
They are another symptom of job outsourcing, unless you improvise, adapt and overcome what's boring in your usual moves in pole dancing.
Customers have voiced their frustration over the lameness of the current routine, which is so simple, a GEICO cave-woman can do it.
While clothes are optional, the spectators would like to see the dancers come up with more intellectual creativity and more physical ability, in more graphic detail of the choreo kind.
Don't be surprised, next time you go to that kind of club, if you see moves inspired by these fine athletes from Bhārat Ganarājya, otherwise known as India.
Better than Ezra? No, better than Mowgli!
Watch this Indian Pole Gymnastics videoclip (cool music, too):

Happy PFF (Postcard Friendship Friday)!

"Men are not dogs. Dogs are LOYAL!" - Wanda Sykes. Shipping Labels from Zazzle.com
Another element of a mailpiece, that can be personalized as you wish, is your address label.
This is an example of how you can add your favorite photo to it, such as your beloved puppy.
Then you personalize it online with your own mailing address.
The image above shows the bigger model - a shipping label.
The mid-size is the address label.
The smallest size is the return label.
You can see them all, customizable, in my zazzle store. Click on the links to visit, if you want.
Every day, in USA, about 11,000 cats and dogs (many of them are adoptable) have to be euthanized [translation: put to sleep] [further translation: killed] in animal shelters.
Those unfortunate cats and dogs can't "claim sanctuary"...

Saunder's Gull (Larus saundersi) - maximum card from Vietnam, mailed later as a naked postcard (no envelope) to me by my friend Nguyen
I like very much this MC, my first from Vietnam. It was sent later, not on the date of the creation of the MC, but that's no problem.
It is really circulated thru the mail, from my friend Nguyen in Vietnam to me in USA - that's a rare thing for a maximum card.
Usually, maximum cards are not circulated as postcards, to avoid postal damage, theft, etc.
They are pure (maybe too pure), only for philatelic purposes, away from the harsh reality of the postal system.
There can be thousands of identical, Postal Administration-issued official maximum cards with a certain design.
But when you receive one as a traveled postcard, with "postal battle scars" maybe, then that is personalized to YOU, as a gesture of friendship between philatelists/stamp collectors. And the favor is returned, of course.
Even better is when you receive or send a UNICATE/UNIKAT/UNICAT maximum card, of which there is only 1 in the world, created by a collector/maximaphilist.
I like to send out nice items, too. Even very nice...
In fact, I should create a blog: "My REVERSE COLLECTION - stamps, postcards, postmarks and maximum cards that I HAVE SENT (not those that I received) to partners/friends from around the world".
In that blog, I will upload images from their online collections , and from my records of what I have sent them.

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
