So I’m afraid today is going to be a bit of a rant. What is it about baring your breasts on Flickr lately? And I don’t mean as part of a shot, but as the only purpose of the shot? I post my pix to a lot of award groups because just like many posters, I like to get faves and awards, and as a blogger, it’s almost mandatory. When I first started blogging back in 2017, I took those awards way too seriously, getting depressed if faves or awards didn’t happen. My first blogger manager taught me something exceptionally important, that I needed to be doing photoshoots for ME… I was the one who needed to like my pix, and that I needed to shoot for MY tastes and to create a personal style. Then sponsors could decide if that style worked for them or not. Awards would happen or not. Followers would happen or not. But as long as I was happy with my work, then all was good. And there are plenty of totally awesome bloggers and photographers and artists on Flickr who are truly inspiring, where I study their shots as to exactly WHAT it is that makes me go “WOW” and try to incorporate that if it melds with my own style. BUT, and it’s an increasingly big BUT, those awesome pix are being too often buried under a ton of pix that are submitted to “artistic” and “blogging” award groups when it’s just a straight snapshot of partial or total nudity. Granted, everyone has their own taste, but taking off your clothes and standing there in front of a colored screen just to show off huge boobs does not constitute art… and unless you’re blogging skin or a body shape or nipple add-ons etc., it’s not blogging. There are some groups I actually had to leave because I was struggling to find anything I could award. I don’t want to resort to giving awards WITHOUT FAVING the photo, but that’s what it’s coming to. There are plenty of groups for flaunting your body parts, and yes again, your taste is not necessarily my taste, but come on folks. I moderate two groups (one fashion and one for wings) and I can’t even begin to tell you how many fully naked shots are submitted to both. What a waste of time denying them all. OK, rant ended, and I’ve gotten this pet peeve off my chest (no pun intended)… Happy shopping!
- Outfit: Le’La – Lowri. Personally I find that blazers modified slightly into a dress are exceptionally sexy. It must be something about the modification of a “businessy” look into an outfit that definitely suggests getting busy in a totally different way! Lowri is a beautifully styled blazer dress with matching open toed stiletto ankle boots. She includes a 40 color HUD (solid & ombre, like I’m wearing), all with a beautiful sheen. You can set the color for the blazer itself, the blazer collar & pockets, the shoes, the shoe straps, & the metallic buttons (see the ad below). Sized for Legacy+Perky, GenX Classic + Curvy, Maitreya+Petite, Kupra, Erika, & Reborn+Waifus, Lowri is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the Nov round of Designer Showcase, open through Nov 25th. Demo available.
