Sexy underwear photos not all they seem
Argentinian lingerie brand Jane Pain has commissioned a series of
photographs that appear to show how seductive its underwear can be by
displaying lace-clad breasts and bottoms - which are actually knees, armpits
and elbows!
Their photographer, Cris Welcomme, working with advertising
agency Conill Saatchi & Saatchi, created the sensual and apparently
explicit images to support the strapline
“If it can make your armpit/knee/elbow look sexy, imagine
what it can do in the right place.” This
trick of the eye was specifically chosen to work on billboards across South
America where racy imagery is commonplace but also where there are relatively
strict rules about modesty.
We found the images fascinating - not just because they show how
easily we can be fooled, but because the provocative effects include the use of
powder and other artifices to create the perfect impression of intimacy. Colour
and form are also vital to this sensual impression.
If you’d like some intimate photographs of
your body (and we agree that knees and armpits can be as sexy as boobs and
bums) we’d suggest starting with a really sensual item of lingerie
such as the cream and powder blue Roza Kasiopea braset which offers support to every body shape and flatters every skin
tone. A selfie stick is a useful way to try out some sexy poses, and remember
to apply a body lotion with a little sheen to it, or to use translucent powder
to create a pin-up matte skin tone, if that’s your preference.
Give yourself plenty of time, ensure the lighting is flattering and just have
fun exploring your body and how it looks on camera.
Body shaming and lingerie
What’s your view on body shaming? Val
Starks discovered that her thirteen-year-old daughter was posting sexy
underwear photos on Facebook, claiming to be nineteen years old and creating
online relationships with older men. To teach her daughter self respect and
explain the unpredictable nature of online sharing, she posted a video that she made, interrogating the girl about
her behaviour, to her own Facebook page.
In the video she makes the girl state her age, tells the viewer
that her daughter doesn’t own any lacy panties and isn’s
a freak who sits around at home with her bra on, and that she still watches
Disney channel. The crying girl continually covers her face and mumbles her
answers. It took only a few days for the video to go viral and it’s
now been viewed more than 12 million times, but opinion is divided - whilst Val
has received a lot of support from some parents, others say that she is wrong
to have shamed the girl in public and that she is likely to now be bullied by
others, as well as experiencing the shame of her own behaviour.
One thing we can’t argue with one thing that Val says
to her critics and fans alike, “I wanted mothers and fathers to be
aware and how important it is to be aware of what your child is doing.” That’s
very true, Facebook is a wonderful tool but a very bad weapon!
