I could be painting a bowl of fruit and I'd still like to have a nude female model in front of me.

We've had a load about Diana last week or so.
Guy on BBC claiming last night that BJ was "implicated" in her death.

Attention has now switched to this serial killer who's appeared.

Cherie Blair - who defended a Moslem student's right to wear a full burqa in class calling it a "great day for human rights". Was she naked under the burka?

That has got to be about the least offensive picture ever. I'm not sure what you mean by "lady," but this is about as low on the titillation scale as you can go.

I am guessing that you mean a "lady" would not pose for a portrait designed to arouse prurient interest--in which instance, Mrs. Blair is still eligible for her ladyship.

The people who are raising a fuss are more obscene and exploitive.

[Suzy Quzy]

Really? Wow!!

And I'm guessing that the poster didn't bother to look at the picture first.

Well, the carpet matches the drapes, apparently.

[Perdogg]

Good for her!!!!!!! How many people here would be that brave???

[najida]

You knuckle dragger you ;)

[Perdogg]

There is nothing wrong with the human body. Nothing praises God more than a site of his creation.

[HitmanLV]

I thought that the headline was that she posed nude 'in the '20s.' I hear she was quite the flapper in her day.

[Perdogg]

Yes!

T T I W W P!

[meg88]

I fell for it and clicked! lol...

[Larry Lucido]

What kind of "lady" poses nude for a picture?

Gee, I can't imagine.

[mcvey]

Linda:

I doubt it, too!

You Brits do sex scandals and crimes better than any one on Earth. Sacndalous - but in good taste!

[Xenalyte]

For more than a year Cherie Booth earned £5 an hour modeling for the 5-foot painting "Striding Nude, Blue Dress," wearing a sleeveless dress open at the front.

Point of order.

If you are wearing a dress, no matter where open or how many sleeves, you are not nude.

[mcvey]

For what it's worth.

There's nothing happening here,
Why we care is not exactly clear.
There's a picture that's mostly blue,
And you can't tell just who is just who.

Stop, now let's turn around
It may be news, but it's mostly sound
Mostly sound

Now, you know I love you Brits . . . I'm a licensed certifiable Anglophile - but for the love of God, someone has to teach you about cheesecake photos!

First, one does not wear nude-colored hose with a merry widow. With this getup, black hose would be preferred.

Second, if one chooses a back seam to said hose, black is a MUST. (Okay, red if the sitter is feeling saucy and tawdry.)

Third, the hose CANNOT wrinkle at the knee. Nylon is time-consuming and a headache to fix and pose, but that's what God created studio assistants for.
