LMAO Steph...awesome!
Katia, how does posing for Maxim show low standards for herself? Nudity is beautiful. It's the way we were born. I think it shows she has high standards for herself. She obviously cares about and takes care of her body. In a society where an absurd amount of people are out of shape and flat out obese, . Plus, it shows that you don't have to be a skinny minnie. She has meat on them thar bones. It's a healthy weight and a healthy body type. That should be people's role model. Take care of your body, it's the only one you've got.
I definetely do get your point and i do understand but i don't agree. I think it shows anything
but that she has high standards for herself. Those pictures aren't about 'celebrating the beauty of the human form', unless of course you count men leering at her 'celebrating'. If no-one did this sort of thing, then would men
expect it anymore? I don't know. All i know is that it sets a precident for stars to come, and for women to show increasing amounts of skin for men to stare at in a derogatory way. How many men have you seen read Maxim and say "oh wow, lets celebrate the beauty of her human form." ?
(Granted, my racist example was a
crap one, but i think you get my point!?)
Britney and Christina make buttloads of money. Good for them. If only I could market myself like that. They call it the music business for a reason. You do whatever you can to get your product out there and get the most people interested. You whore yourself. *shrug* C'est la vie...
And Steph, i don't personally agree with applauding someone for selling their body and making money out of it. Thats like saying "Well done! You're a prostitutue, well done for making lots of money" I don't think thats admirable in any way.
