bso - so true - LOL...

the question was asked why are boobs so fascinating?

IMHO the entire human body is fascinating.... we aren't allowed images of other parts that I'm sure would capture the imagination far more than boobs (outside of porn that is...)

but the media FLOODS you with images of breasts - hair - teeth and more recently butts (especially on men) and the conditioning sets in...

but the human body is indeed a work of art. worthy of adoration, and praise - also worthy of respect and great care... the explotation of it tends to blot that part out.

me too! but i'm still upset that there's a certain concert i SHOULD be at right now...

stupid school. if i had been home that day i could have gotten tickets. they put them on sale at noon on purpose!

I look at the body as art waiting to happen.. I love tastefully done photography using the human body.. Especially in black and white..

Sorry Beka..

exacly, tiff...

Well, wicked was a word before it was a book before it was a musical...

I notice that with Les Mis - but then I realized that a 3hr show is bound to have a lot of phrases...one day more always gets me though

Although, i've been seeing as$es on regular TV

i am SO bad at photographing people. my best is probably a picture of this girl in my photo class last year that had like 10 earrings on her ear -- and it's a close-up of just her ear. and you can see all the contrasts and shadows, well, i really like it anyways.

i'm must better at photographing landscapes and nature.

I'm an eyes and a smile kind of girl.. Those have the ability to melt me like butter..

Yeah, Bso! There was a close-up for Shannyn Sossamon from head to crack to toe on L&O:SVU the other day! WTF?


I'll get to my story later. I've gotta shoot off this assignment this evening. It's pretty...umm...interesting though. Man, they don't pay me enough.

hey guys, guess WHAT? my average in AP euro is a 24%! i still have to hand in those two papers -- they're due monday, but i totally failed the french revolution test. i missed a week, but i still read the textbook twice and defined everything on the review sheet thingie, but i STILL got a 59 WITH a 7 point curve. UGHH. well, the papers, labs, assignments, etc. always bring me up. i'm so bad at test-taking.

...not to mention male nudity on TV...

Well, the fcc(?) did say that the word F*** can be used as long as it does not refer to sex....

as a comeidan who came to my school said, "you can't say, "i'm gonna F*** her," but you can say, "i'm gonna f***ing have sex with her" --- go figure, right?

nudity clauses? haha. can you give us an example?

[camerangel]

Posted: 12/13/04 at 10:54pm

Beka, people aren't the easiest to photograph.. I much prefer candids to posed.. I like catching people unaware, that way they are compfortable and relaxed.. Most people tend to tense up or put a false face on for the camera.. Once I was shooting a wedding and this little girl was being so adorable, but she wasnt' looking at the camera. Well her mother came up and yelled her named telling her to turn and face the camera.. I was irritated and walked away. She completely ruined my picture..

[BEKA531]

Posted: 12/13/04 at 10:59pm

but i'm even bad at candids! i mean, sometimes i get a good one, but i'm just not good at art and people in general, be it drawing, painting, photography, etc.

Beka, don't fret sweetie
When I took AP Euro, I remembered brutally bombing the French Rev. Test
By the end of the year, I had an 82% and a 4 on the test
Perservere!!! You can do it!!!

heh, i took Ap euro back in high school - wow, it's been 3 or 4 years i think....

I had to draw this guy (well, copy a drawing of a guy - no sketching!) for my theatre class. Probably the best thin I have made...heh, I madec opies of it and hung it up on my wall at school...

BSO - SouthPark did an entire episode about that particular ridiculousness....

contracts...

the first thing is the TYPE of nudity...

full frontal
full rear
dorsal (side view) w or w/o breasts...
breasts only
upper half (neck to breasts - or FACE to breasts which can cost more because you are identified - as opposed to just a set of breasts....)

it goes on...

thanks for the encouragement, star2be. that definitely makes me feel a lot better.

i did get a b+ the first quarter, and with the ap credit, thats an a+. i was BEYOND excited.

[BEKA531]

Posted: 12/13/04 at 11:02pm

wow, i never thought that they'd be so specific with "nudity clauses". but i guess i've never thought about them in the first place.

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/13/04 at 11:02pm

well, comedy central (late night) airs the south park movie uncut...

in like 2 yrs, theyll be no censorship haha...

Since when is full nudity rated PG-13? Dracula is rated PG-13 and there are two nude scenes

(since when were shows rated)

Yes folks, this is what it's come down to.
