Starlets Posing Nude
I recently saw that Lindsay Lohan posed nude in New York magazine to recreate a Marilyn Monroe photoshoot. Now while I'm all for being artistic, I think posing nude in any magazine is simply crossing the line.
More and more starlets today are baring all for photoshoots. To me, that sends such a terrible message out to girls, because isn't posing nude in a magazine, in fact, selling your body? It seems as though nothing is sacred to these Hollywood girls anymore. Call me a prude, but I believe that your body is for you and the person you love to see. Not the whole world. Whether a girl posing for Playboy or New York magazine, they're exposing the only private thing they have left. Young girls are looking up to these stars. I wouldn't want my goddaughter thinking it's okay to give the world your body to see. I don't know - maybe I'm overreacting, but I think it's so inappropriate to do something of that fashion when you have many tweens and teens respecting you.
These days, stars have no privacy, and that's a shame. But when they start exposing the only thing we haven't seen yet, it makes me feel not quite so bad for them anymore.

See, I agree to a certain extent. If anything, though, I agree more so with the people who have already posted before me. The thing is is that starlets like Lohan cannot tell little girls what to do, nor can they tell them what to look at. If a little girl starts exposing more from her body than necessary, then I'd like to know,
1) Why aren't her parents taking care of her?
2) Doesn't she feel a little weird being half naked out in public?
There is really nothing "sacred" about the human body. Of course, you still need to cover it for reasons of safety (f*cking piggy rapists) and health (cold weather, etc.). Of course, if it's a picture done for purposes of art like Kurtni said, then hey--go for it! Just be aware of the consequences for taking those pictures.

Thanks for the comments :). And of course, everyone has their own opinion, and I respect everyone's ideas on this subject.

I agree with Kurtni.
I think that the body is amazing. But I don't think doing a spread leg so I can see what you had for breakfast is nice. I like it in an artisitic way.
I understand where you're coming from, though.

I think the human body is the most artistic thing in the world, and it's a shame that its become so taboo in modern society. The Lindsey Lohan pictures you saw were not classy, they're nothing like the Marilyn photos in the original photoshoot. Nudity doesn't have to be obscene.
you're perfectly entitled to your own opinion though =] good blog

Well, considering its their bodies they have every right to expose it however they want, which I'm sure you understand.
Most things in the media are bad influences. Personally, I think war is but tahts a different subject.
Its up to the girl to chose what she wants to do with her body, even though I don't particularly agree with most of their choices. People need to decide if thats something that they want to do, or that they don't want to do or follow.
Good blog though, I see your side of it completely.
