Miss California -- Define 'Semi-Nude'

So how's this for a new twist? Carrie Prejean believes she did not violate her Miss California contract when she gave pageant officials written assurance she never posed semi-nude.

Carrie's rep tells us the photo that's circulating is not a semi-nude pic -- "It's not a semi-nude pose because she's modeling for lingerie."

Fun Fact -- even though we haven't published the four semi-nude pics that were sent to us (because Carrie claims she was 17 when they were taken), we can assure you she was not wearing a top and she was flaunting some side boob.

One of the photos that's circulating shows the same.

Of course not...for some the line from the Cole Porter song "Anything Goes" still holds true:

"In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes."

Pornography sometimes truly is in the eyes of the beholder...or their mind.

Flaunting some side boob? Wow. Thats crazy!

I am a huge side boob fan. I also like under cleavage!

[RichInOC]

Now that right there is what you call your full frontal boob.

Verdict is Guilty and I volunteer to administer a firm hand in any punishment to be meted out.

[Sudetenland]

Now you want to talk about PORNOGRAPHY...that's truly pornograpic...and really disgusting.

[NewJerseyJoe]

please don’t ever post that again

Just as I thought. Not Guilty! Not even a little bit. In fact, she is less guilty than she is clothed.

So, the same people who see nothing wrong with putting a crude, obnoxious, foul-mouthed blogger in the position of judge are suddenly so moralistic about a woman posing in lingerie for a photo that’s not any worse than a lingerie ad... The double standard never ceases to amaze.

[NoDRodee]

she's not showing any more in that photo then she did in actual competition. I'm not getting it.

[lewisglad]

‘Not Guilty’ as the day is long.

[Retired Greyhound]

Not guilty of anything, ever, for maybe the next 20 years or so, depending on how well she ages.

TMZ just released pic #2. Oh, the horror and shame of a Sunday circular panty ad!

[TaxMe]

Just speculation, but could this be a photoshop of the first picture?

we can assure you she was not wearing a top and she was flaunting some side boob.

Side boob. Is that like being naked underneath your clothes? If you don't see a nipple, you are just seeing a variation on cleavage.

I’m not so sure about that. She signed the contract last year, when she was 21, and apparently lied in certifying that she had never take nude or semi-nude photos.

Time to go hunting for childhood photos of Miss USA at the beach with her parents or in the tub or on a bearskin rug...

Did TMZ decry the critics of Milli Cyrus’ “topless” photo shoot for Vanity Fair? What was Disney’s take on it?

[NavyCanDo]

Demi Moore's naked pregnant body gets plastered on a cover of a major magazine and she becomes a Goddess. Dixie Chicks go naked on a cover, they get more press time to spread their anti-Bush message. But dare a conservative woman show just a little skin, and the hammer gets dropped on them and the title of a bad person forever lands on them.

[Hyzenthlay]

Personally, I think she can argue that the photos were not ‘semi-nude’ since they were taken when she was underage, because if they had been ‘semi-nude’ then couldn’t someone charge the photographer with child pornography? You can’t have it both ways...
