Naked Beneath Her Clothes

[neversremedy8]

I've never been a big fan of Kate Moss, and I don't find her very attractive, yet I do admire her guts to appear in a sheer dress with nothing beneath. The author seems rather keen not just to point out that not only was the dress sheer, and she's clearly not wearing any undergarments, but that she--oh gods--did so in front of her daughter. Why should it be a big deal? Perhaps that's just the nudist in me talking, eh? It's rather likely that, given Kate's comfort with showing her body, her daughter has likely seen just as much of it on a daily basis as a person can. Ana would be just as comfortable with mine.

Is it really taboo for children to see their parents naked?

Where, exactly, does this reporter think that kid came out of? A cabbage?

I kind of like the dress, and how the dots line up perfectly with her nipples :)
My kids have seen me naked plenty - I don't get what the big deal about that is.

I liked the placement of the polka dots as well, not to mention how the seams of the dress made it look as though she were wearing a g-string, while being completely naked. :)

You know that I am totally pro-nudity in stance. However, I do find it lacking in taste that she went out dressed like that in Istanbul. Granted, she wasn't going to a mosque, but it does seem a bit tasteless. London, Paris, NY, SF, LA, sure. A predominantly Muslim country? Seems a bit in-your-face to me.

Yeah, I think that is what I like the most. It is her form of silent protest. :)

There's a fine line between making a statement as a form of protest and cultural insensitivity.

This falls well within the bounds of cultural insensitivity.

I think I'd prefer the statement more in a more extremist country--Turkey is rather tame by some comparisons. Perhaps it would be more of a statement in a place that enforces the wearing of burqas. Of course, in such a location, she'd likely risk death or serious and frightening legal issues.

So... just because well over 75% of the population is Muslim BUT THEY AREN'T ACTIVELY MAKING WOMEN WEAR TENTS we shouldn't be sensitive to their culture? If anything, I would think that the fact that they are at least making an attempt to come into the modern world should be lauded, not held against them.

(this is poorly worded, before coffee, but I think the intent is there. ugh.)

"most outrageous look yet..."

This reporter needs to grow up or quit living with the Quakers. I can't see anything wrong with what she is wearing. I like the fact that she is comfortable and confident with her body. She is a good example of how people should be. Why should everyone be ashamed?
