Her interviews and tweets and her charity work speaks for itself, and maybe she just wants people to know that smart is sexy. Nerd and glasses don't label you as smart. And skimpy bikinis or being topless in a magazine doesn't label you as an airhead. <br /><br />I think that OW is so utterly gorgeous.. and I think she picks and chooses what she wants to do.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-28953833782490149172010-03-02T20:02:56.274-08:002010-03-02T20:02:56.274-08:00Objectified?

I feel like if she felt exploited or too objectified, she would speak up. At least I'd hope so.elliBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015667707542143891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-84899440609531386762010-03-02T13:31:38.510-08:002010-03-02T13:31:38.510-08:00I don't know...she seems like she was coached ...I don't know...she seems like she was coached a bit and even reading a cue card in that last sequence.

For me, most stuff that's meant to titilate is objectifying in a negative way, and it's a rare, awesome thing when there's agency, personality and sensuality all together. Here's hoping that there are more opportunities for the latter as we keep going forward!alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182612141561309090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-19799184689010351252010-03-02T08:46:01.315-08:002010-03-02T08:46:01.315-08:00She has actually been celebrated for her philanthr...She has actually been celebrated for her philanthropic work. She won an "Artivist" award for her involvement with 'Power Up Gambia'...and there are also recent pics of her planting organic gardens with school children in California.

...I don't find many of those photos enticing...<br />just plain objectified! I don't believe it's a fine line. <br />The pose of the "model" will define if it's an objectification. The model could be standing in her underware, but if she's got her self bent over in contorted positions - that says 'come fuck me'.<br /><br />This is why I have stopped reading this site most of the time because I feel that there is more objectification of the subjects than who the individual is that is being written about. <br /><br />I do like the hockey photos of late, though. <br />They show the subjects in their natural environment. <br /><br />Show pictures of real women - with curves and standing up straight ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-42512323578753925792010-03-02T02:48:37.185-08:002010-03-02T02:48:37.185-08:00Lady, as usual, I agree with you 100%.Lady, as usual, I agree with you 100%.Norma Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064997154001326287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-28015728867851416112010-03-02T00:54:12.139-08:002010-03-02T00:54:12.139-08:00Yes, yes, and thank you for saying so.
