It never ceases to astonish me that, with a bit of extra hunting online, you can stumble on some of the most unique pages. It’s frustrating that more pages like this, arent ranked at the top when I look with google online, I have added you to my bookmarks, I also have a friend, that will really enjoy this page, so ill send him, a link to your article, as well. I am sure they will really enjoy it.

I’d like to add though that the woman in the lookbook image you linked to very willingly showed her boob and I think suggested it as well herself as the shoot was streetcasted and more like a artistic project rather than a client (brand/designer) demanding a model show her boobs…

@fashion herald: I don’t doubt your words, but is it just me or do more magazines have nude spreads now?

@dexter vandango: Sorry for misinterpreting your post. I understand your point now. I think it is more of a difference of interests. Like you said, men incorporate women into things like car commercials. Women won’t be often found in the audience though. (Or not as many as men) The women will willingly look sexy on top of a car if they get paid for it. But for things like fashion shows, women don’t use men as sex objects as much. Also, it’s more female-dominated in a sense because not as much men are as interested in fashion. There are many great male designers, though, as well as photographers, stylists, etc. In either field, they cater to one sex or the other.
I agree that the human body is important, but there will always be people who will be that it is not “good enough”.

Boobs don’t bother me. Guns bother me. Violence bothers me. Boobs, not so much . . .

I don’t know who is the costumer…..

Sorry, tired AND stupid…

Something seems disingenuous about objectifying the male form to balance the objectification of women in men’s magazines. The message to women is “buy this garment or product to look like this” to make yourself more attractive to men, whereas the men see ad women to be obtained like any other purchase. (What a capitalist solution, she snarks.) The problem is not the image but the intent.

I wonder too, are they selling boobs or clothes ?? Maybe it’s not a big deal in an art mag, but how does this help me dress. I can’t go to work topless or even braless. I consider myself liberated but also modest.

I agree with Dexter, more pee pee…haha . and those pictures of naked biking, that looks painful. I ride a bike and I can’t even wrap my mind around these girls that apparently do it in heels but naked, no way, The bike seat, road bumps, the whole things seems like trouble.

Here is a link to an old article about boobs situation in Ontario:

Dexter, I like the Solstice pictures – very creative use of body paint!
