I recently stumbled upon this article (read here) about one girl's decision to boycott the Urban Outfitter's Franchise due to their recent "semi-nude" photography craze. I must admit that I have been put-off by the more provocative photos as well. In my opinion, it is sad when a company needs to resort to showing skin to sell more clothes. (Seems somewhat like an oxymoron.. nude fashion?) I do not think these kinds of photos have a place in a fashion catalog. If Urban Outfitters is going for a more artistic view, I can understand that.. however.. maybe in an art venue it would be more fitting to do so. Besides my opinions on the matter.. I could not help but laugh hysterically at some of the comments made about this writer's article. I specifically enjoy this comment:
"dear ms. otterbein:
it is impossible to show the side of a vagina.
the word you might have used, to be accurate, is vulva.
the vagina, or “birth canal”, is inside a woman’s body
and cannot be seen from the outside."

There are many more amusing opinions to accompany this one!
