Huh? Did I miss something from the last two years? I don't recall Amanda saying that it was empowering for women to pose nude or that women should do it to empower themselves. Did she make the comment that somebody is not sexual unless they show their personal equipment?
I didn't see it but I was not reading the words..you know Elise, even if she did say it, if she found it personally empowering then so be it, right?
So, now that I've seen the picture, I can't figure out what the fuss is about anyway. There have been pictures like that on the covers of so many magazines (and not only men's magazines), that I can't even count them (not that I can count higher than 20 anyway).
Pretty much it. Didn't Miley Cyrus just pose nude with a sheet in Vogue? Had a blast reading the thread, but didn't we do this awhile ago ... I think that's when I started bonding with Geek.
I still feel the same, especially about the double standard. The pics aren't offensive, but neither are they "empowering" (empowering?!?!), worthy of applause, or much else. They certainly aren't "art." (Sorry, Stud, I know Raphael did nudes, but not this way.) This is advertising to sell a product and cash in. She's a model, that's what she does; it's a way to earn a living. End of story. As for her activism and dreadful "heartbreak," I couldn't give a toss. Thanks, Kurt for the witty post. And, like Sam, and despite being at the opposite end of the political spectrum, I don't give a toss about rodents either. PETA -- blech. Pamela Anderson -- blech.
Amanda can drop trou to earn big bucks, and she won't get a sore neck and shoulders from a desk job, but no one is going to take her "seriously" for it. She can, however, seriously earn money, and kudos to her, but it says nothing more than she has a great bod and looks good in earmuffs. And she certainly does! Leave it at that.
I appreciated Willow's sentiment from a couple pages ago. Trying new things and possibly messing up and carrying on is to be commended. Since Amanda has made modeling a business, I don't think it's a "mess" though. Perhaps the activisim is a mess. I don't mind about that. But I generally don't listen when celebrities (can they spell clenbuterol?) engage in activism. My only disagreement with Willow is that, while Amanda has worked hard for her great bod, I'm not sure why that means she necessarily has to seek out others to appreciate it.

Yeah right...you guys missed out..up until 20 minutes ago masters swimming had it's own female empowering, UGG wearing, leather couch lounging, PETA fur hating fan favorite:

Sadly like the Advocare site it went 'dark" about 10 minutes after this thread started!
You obviously don't understand PETA....they want to regulate (govern) what you and I not only wear, but what we eat as well......take a good look at the organization and some of the lobbyists they employ.
Wow, that's quite a measuring stick there. Doesn't that rationale apply to any special interest group? Heck, so using your standard, the 'Got Milk' ads are political statements too? And the 'Beef, it's what for dinner' folks?
Very funny, Clydesdale. However, I still have some catching up to do with you on being opinionated. You're a year ahead. Black, not brown, UGGs, BTW.
However, I think it's fair to say that you don't have to have an AARP card to spell clenbuterol.

Hulk...it's late...have a beer and make fun of fort..qui being so serious
oh...and stop being a wimp and taper the next 9 days....wussy!
I thought Hulk was buying a B70 in the dim hope that, based on SBB advice, he might be able to manage a measley SDK or two?
The first good yuck I had all day was when I read that Peter was posting nude.
