Jonathan, I hate to seem ungrateful (and am duly sensible of the honor),
but I don't find nude photography interesting -- even of entrancing men...
although granted more interesting and less stereotype than all that T&A.

But I say the same thing about trees -- seen one, for all practical
purposes, seem 'em all. Seen one bare bod of babe, you've essentially
seen 'em all. Which is to say, for purposes of *art*, people are much more
interesting with their clothes on. ESPECIALLY for gum printing.

And PS to Don and company, I called the naked-lady pics under discussion
SOFT porn. In fact I'd say they're poster babes for soft porn. The
reference to regular porn was simply to say I have no objection if it's
correctly labeled.

WHAT'S MORE !!!!::::::: When is pointing to sexism a "feminist agenda" and
when is it simply... pointing to sexism? Is consciousness raising *by
definition* "feminist," or just a public-spirited announcement for the
general enlightenment and well being of society?
