\"\"<\/a>I have another Postcard series due to release this week, a couple swimsuit photos (this swimsuit shown here) and one \u201cnaked as a J-bird.\u201d One thing leads to another and I wondered where that expression came from. I mean \u201cnaked as a jay bird?\u201d Are they really naked? So, as I am wont to do, I googled it, whereas once upon a time I would have gone to the reference section at the library. J-bird is short for jailbird, a term from the 1920\u2019s and 30\u2019s in America. When the imprisoned people were brought in from the bus, and given their kit, they were made to walk naked from one end of the prison to another, and this became known as \u201cnaked as a j-bird \u2014 or jaybird.\u201d It wasn\u2019t unique to America though actually, because the British especially loved to humiliate Irish prisoners in a similar fashion. It\u2019s interesting the meaning we\u2019ll find behind seemingly harmless and \u201cinnocent\u201d expressions when we dig deep enough. All this just to announce my next postcard series, but what can I say? Learn something new every day and when I do, I like to share it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
