Explain this to me, please.
 

So the cutline on the attached photo, from Hempfest 2007, is as follows: "Sarah Conway, who works for a company that makes decorative pasties, shows off the marijuana leaf model as she takes a smoke from a large joint." (August 18, 2007) Grant M. Haller/Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The pasty phenomenon is one that I've never quite understood. Who decided that it was the NIPPLE that made boobs sexual, and that covering it made one decent? Ms. Conway has a gorgeous rack, and personally, it is the curve of the breast (any breast) that I find aesthetically pleasing, more so than the nipple which, if we consider the situation from a natural point of view, is the most functional part of the breast. Now, if this gal has the confidence to go out in pasties, by all means, she should do so. I don't mind. However, the idea that this outfit is somehow more proper than her going out completely bare-breasted just makes me laugh. I think she just lacks commitment. :)

Anybody have any thoughts on this? Anyone? Bueller?

Looking at that pic gave me the munchies. :p


I'm with you Red, doesn't matter if the nipple is covered or right out there in full view, breasts are beautiful.

She doesn't lack for much of anything else tho ;)

You might well ask why boobs are sexuallized at all, much less the nipples...

I have a theory, totally unencumbered by the thought process, but it would take too long for me to cover all the bases here...

Sadly, I think it's a sad comment on the continuing erosion of what many of us see as our "rights".

It's always struck me as a little (!!) bizarre that a great country like America can be so disparate in the way it views things - for instance, in many places bare breasts/nipples are a chargeable offence including, as I understand it, Ca. and Fla.; yet these two self-same states are apparently the two major areas for porn production in the U.S.!! :huh: (btw, I know that the U.K. is just as bad - if not worse!)

Anyway, personally I'm all in favour of ladies walking around bare - next best thing is seeing pics of the most sexy ladies right here at Pixies!!

I too have found it rather amusing that a breast isn't a breast if the nipple is blurred out or has a pasty on it. Not sure why or how it happened, but I think back to it being that way on some of "the sensational news" TV shows (the one that stands out is the one Maury Povich was on before he got his show).

pasties
 

all I know about pasties is they cover the areola, which I find most succulant part of the breast, and hers are large,
and thats a real nice joint she's Bogarten, like to have a chew on that necklas too,
After finishing the joint and neckless, I'd have to help her reconfigure her attire, and what ever else may need to be addressed

Nipple warmers? :confused:


:)

They keep her from arguing with a judge on the indecent exposure rap.

But that's my point. Aren't the round globes of flesh equally "indecent"? Who is splitting this ridiculous hair? I don't care if she runs around starkers, personally. It doesn't hurt me any, and will improve the scenery. :)

As a male, I see the sensuality aspect in the viewing of bared breast with areola and nipple in the open. When I see pasties, it is (to me) an impedance to the natural woman and her natural appearance. As clever as the coverup might be, it's a shallow attempt at keeping up the even shallower American prurient cultural taboo against permitting people (women in particular) to be free in personal expression and social deportment. http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/deportment

the nipple is where people like to suckle

It does seem a little bassackwards, now that I think about it. The nipples are business end as far as feeding the babies, which shouldn't be sexualized at all (not only IMO, but I'm sure many others would & have agreed), but those marvelous fleshy mounds behind the nipple have been the key to women attracting the attentions of men for millennia now...& one of many elements of what has made humans unique from our other mammal cousins...

Well, it would certainly improve the scenery if you were the one running around nude, AZRH.

Aw shucks, GG, what a nice Christmas present. If I do, will you keep me warm?

Sure , just joing me on this nice warm basking rock over here.
