    If someone dressed like that around these parts someone would call the police before they walked half a block. When they named this forum "Life, straight up," I wonder if this is the kind of thing they had in mind. rolleyes1.gif.

    Good shooting, Javier. What Ryan said. When I was in my twenties anyplace she went like that she'd have been in the slammer in a heartbeat.

    The police would be very busy in beach towns in Florida if
    that was the rule. A woman putting a top over a thong
    bikini bathing suit looks like that.

    Awesome! thumb.gif It would be hard to get more WTF ambiguity than this series has. I have so many questions......
    I assume you didn't know what you really had, until they passed by?

    It is Hollyweird after all......not really a surprise.

    I'm pretty sure both thongs and bikinis are illegal in Utah. Beaches are probably illegal as well, but I'm not sure. :D

    No wonder tourists from Utah here in Florida drive down
    Collins Avenue in South Beach hanging their heads out
    of the car windows panting like bulldogs.

    What's the big deal?
    Why I have that very outfit picked out for wearing on mother's day.


    no wtf here in my opinion. I formed an opinion quickly.
    Ok when I see your presentation the only words that come to mind are "paid for" "sugar daddy" and "control freak".

    To each their own.

    I enjoyed the first shot the most because now I see why the guy nearly got whiplash from turning to look. I would have done the same. It can't be helped.

    Fan of your posts Javier.

    EDIT: in quick retrospect, I sound judgmental. So let me be clear, I really do think to each their own. But that really was my gut reaction to the shots. I can see no other explanation.

    It's just plain cheap and tacky. It is not in any way cool or sexy. More akin to Hustler than fine art.

    Like a two day old big mac compared to a fine lobster and steak dinner.

    Wait a minute.
    Are you talking about her outfit and her or are you talking about the fact that Javier shot this photo and chose to post it.

    I need clarification before getting on my high horse.

    Come on, Sam. Hustler doesn't do street photography.

    The first frame of the sequence is awesome with the guy twisting around.
