Emily North - perfect jeanius

A girl in jeans is a magical thing. Like vanilla ice cream & chocolate syrup or Christmas & presents there's just something that says they belong together. Sometimes when you catch a glimpse of a pretty girl in jeans hailing a cab or running to catch a bus it only takes a second to fall in love & watch her ride away with a piece of your heart. We had a similar experience when Emily North tweeted a cute pic of herself in jeans. We knew right then & there she would make the perfect new model for BiM. And we're willing to predict you'll fall in love with her in her first nude photo shoot ever, on BiM. In jeans, our course. Perfectly "injeanius".

Lycia, smile

We often preach about female beauty here on BiM using terms like perfect, glowing, moral. The awesome power of female beauty is characterised by the range of emotions that it can express. There is a time for confidence. There is a time for sexiness. There is a time for teasing. There is also a time for fragility and reflection. But in this range of emotions and moods, which do we find the most inspirational? It is fun, laughter, happiness. Lycia is a naturally beautiful woman in her late teens. She has been modelling for only six months. Many new models are rarely found in a smiley mood, and this is not because they are not happy, but more they are influenced by the pouty selfie culture as well as the widespread misconception that being naked is somehow shameful. Society's expectations have much to answer for in the styles of poses and faces that models throw by default. So we try to think differently, to think beautiful. This set was a tremendous joy to make and edit & it's obvious why. I said just relax, have some fun, be yourself, be happy, and smile! The rest is pure Lycia. I dare you to look at these pics without smiling like crazy too. - J.W. Aug 23/17

Lycia, angel face

In spite of her youth, Lycia has not had an easy run of it so far. On occasion she has dizzy spells so I made sure to keep her topped up with fizzy drinks and sweets on our recent shoot. It will not have escaped your notice that she is blessed with a larger than average chest, which, although beautiful, has led to much unwanted attention, particularly from school bullies in her formative years. Lycia tells me the girls started this but used to cajole and encourage the boys to join in too! A clear case of jealousy giving rise to beauty shaming and beauty hating over a feature entirely beyond the control of the individual. Here at BiM we abhor such behaviour and we are only too delighted to be able to showcase the passion and personality of the most beautiful women in the world, like Lycia, who has put up with so much yet manages to stay positive, enthusiastic, and ambitious about her future in modelling. These are the sort of inspirational people we like to work with - the beauty happening in the body and the magic going on in the mind. In the words of the Steve Miller Band, "black panties with an angel face". We welcome Lycia to BodyInMind. -James Watson

Rosa Brighid, cities of gold

I am beginning to like the pictures I make. I did not make these images with a view to being exhibited here on BiM. That genuinely was an accident. There are some really great photographers and models on this website. Many of them are true legends and highly respected professionals. I still do not think I am worthy. But when I looked back over the set, it did remind me of the philosophy and message that you consistently receive here. It is the positivity of a beautiful woman. Rosa Brighid began art nude figure modelling as a student. She is a fulltime professional model working across a range of genres and she is very busy. She often works seven days a week spending long hours on trains and planes travelling the world between shoots. I had to book her about five months in advance. Her published work, although varied, could be augmented by a more matter of fact presentation in my view. She is stunningly beautiful and I wanted to strip everything away and just focus on her body with as few distractions as possible. The orange glow to the bottom right in some of the shots, like an upside down sun but from a peculiar angle, made me imagine she was peering down on some lost world. A forgotten civilisation, one in which political oppression and beauty shaming do not exist. Cities of Gold was a cartoon series from the 1980s which was popular with children throughout the world. When naming sets I often revert to musical references or memories from my childhood. Someday we will find the Cities of Gold chimed the addictive theme tune. I hope you too are feeling that warm glow. Do tell us if you are. - James Watson

Emily Bloom, a very fruitiful girl

Emily Bloom is one of those models who stands out from the crowd the very first time you see her, and if you're lucky enough to work with her, you discover it's because she's one of those people who stands out from the crowd in everything she does.

When we approached her to shoot for BiM we had no idea she would not only deliver exactly the kind of naturally exuberant photos and video we wanted but that she would produce & style the shoot herself and deliver it on time, on budget and on point. So when we discovered she was working & training as an actress we knew it was only a matter of time before she excelled at that too.

Emily's uninhibited exhibitionism declares with unabashed enthusiasm that she's completely naked because it's fun & exciting, not because she has to or because it's just her job or because she wants sex, but because it's enjoyable for her. Emily's is exactly the kind of beauty we've always adored here at BiM, the kind that is so sincerely exuberant it goes beyond being sexy and inspires us to happily enjoy it too, and to wonder why human beings ever looked down on the beauty of women in the first place.

And if she is only acting, then Emily Bloom definitely has a great career as an actress ahead of her.

Kеlly Hаll, an interesting point of view

Some great photos come about due to a flash of genius. Others from careful planning & masterful execution. Others happen purely by accident due to the random convergence of the crucial elements. These striking photos of Kеlly Hаll, however, came about from pure laziness. Most people who work with me learn fairly early on that my dream is to do all our photography from the comfort of a plush, la-z-boy reclining armchair. Ideally with a built in fridge & TV. Alas, I have yet to achieve this level of luxury in my life. So instead of a comfy chair to prevent undue physical fatigue on demanding shoots, I can often be observed shooting while lying flat on the floor. This is not as bad as it sounds. In fact, it's my completely honest second choice after a cozy chair. Lυckіly Kеlly looks just as amazing from pretty much any angle, and since I was on the floor anyway, we figured why not do a set from there. So there you go. Beauty from laziness. With the only genius involved being our choice to shoot with the always indefatigable Kеlly Hаll. - D.Bell

2013 Body in Mind candids and outtakes #2

The pleasures of our job working with some of the most beautiful women in the world don't end when the photo shoot is over. Editing the pics afterwards is full of surprises, including the discovery of unexpectedly funny ones. However, one of our least favourite parts of the job is removing some of pics when creating the galleries you see on BiM. Sometimes it's easy because the model blinked or the exposure is off, but often is can be quite difficult, especially if the model is very good, because it means we have to take out some great shots that just don't fit into the flow of the others in the set. In fact, sometimes, these pics are some of the best shots we've ever taken, or at least our personal favourites, and it's difficult not to include them. Candids & outtakes sets come to the rescue by allowing these shots to see the light of day. That's why you'll often find some of our best work in them. Our members keep telling us how much they love the behind the scenes, outtakes, and candids sets on BiM. We like to think this is one of the reasons why.

2013 Body in Mind candids and outtakes #1

Our members are always telling us they enjoy our candids and out-takes as much or even more than our usual sets so we figured it was about time to give them more. We have so much fun on Body in Mind photoshoots that we never run out of hilarious outtakes and behind the scenes shots of your favourite models being adorably silly. Sure the quality of the photography is not as good as our usual sets which is why we didn't include them originally, but we know you'll agree the beauty of these ladies shines through bright and clear in all of this batch of BiM 2013 candids and outtakes. And you might even find your favourite photo of your favourite model in here because these photos are the real deal - a glimpse into the souls of some of the best models in the world, and that only makes them more beautiful, doesn't it?

Thank you female beauty. Thanks a lot.

Beautiful women are the enemies of the mind, modern science & human progress.

Aliens watching humans from space would likely think so. How else could they explain why women were kept out of the most important universities & medical schools for so long? Why keep boys and girls in separate schools unless it's to preserve the possibility of youthful rational thoughts emerging from the teenage primordial soup of hormones and genitals?

Like many humans, our alien observer friends must have gasped in horror when pictures of lovely ladies somehow appeared all over comet scientist Mаtt Tаylоr's shirt during his press appearance for the Rosetta mission. His subsequent tearful apology and social disgrace received more media attention that his alleged accomplishment. And rightly so.

We humans naively think sexy fantasy women inspire men to do great things. Aliens know better. Which is why a tachyon transmission likely went out assuring the alien Hіgh Cоυncіl of Bіg Brаіns that we sad humans would never make it to other planets after all. Certainly not dressed like that! Indeed, it must have been only too obvious to beings who had survived their own species' battle between Beauty & Reason. Every advanced civilization in the universe had to learn it. In fact, if they'd never totally rejected beauty the aliens never could have created the technology that allowed them to travel to earth looking for a planet to invade.

Now this might all sound a bit fantastic but I offer Nobel laureate Sіr Tіm Hunt as proof. Last week at an international science conference he stated bravely that women in science labs were a distraction because they made people fall in love with them. Sadly, in spite of this heroic attempt to keep beautiful women from destroying everything we've achieved on earth, he was forced to step down amid rampant speculation on social media that he had to be from another planet to say something like that.

But this is merely speculation. What cannot be denied is that even though so many decent people in the past have tried to achieve civilization without love, heroism or genius, it seems we humans are stuck with them, and it's all thanks to female beauty.

Thank you female beauty. Thanks a lot.

A man chases a girl until she catches him (Irvіng Bеrlіn, 1949)

Contrary to traditional "wisdom" men are not the sexual instigators in the human species.

And like Irvіng Bеrlіn, most of us have noticed this at one time or other. But it is only recently that science is catching up.

Studies of other primate species besides ourselves such as Rhеsυs Mоnkеys and Bonobos (a species of chimpanzee) have surprised us by revealing that females are not only the sexual orchestrators, but that our social structures are built around that fact.

These discoveries seem to imply that among we humans, women are meant to be the sexual instigators, not men!

It's why girls mature faster than boys.

It's why women use their bodies to attract the "male gaze".

It means ads that feature sexy models are not examples of patriarchy objectifying women but of matriarchy objectifying men!

It's why men don't generally feel comfortable showing off their bodies but love showing off their athleticism or other abilities.

And it's why so many young men don't really seem to know naturally how to approach women without a course in pick-up artistry.

So where does this leave men?

Don't worry guys. Studies with apes reveal that society is a female invention. And for the most part, we males let them have it. Bυt Sоcіеty is not - by far! - all there is. We still have the rest of the entire universe to play in! Females are the sexual deciders, but that means males have more freedom to exist "outside society", to jump from society to society, to pick & choose what they take and what they leave. This is why men are more often the explorers, traders, builders, outlaws & dreamers.

So if you're a young man, don't worry about sex/reproduction. Let women worry about it. Concentrate on a career and having fun and they will come to you. By all means buy some weights and work on your body, but more importantly, develop a skill and show it off. Embrace your maleness and your freedom and enjoy all the lovely ladies putting themselves out there for their empowerment, your pleasure, and to keep society together.

Just keep one eye out for the cutie who is hanging around you hoping you'll "chase" her.

Emmа Glоvеr & Sаmmy Brаddy

One of the nicest moments in the life of a glamour photographer is that one when you realize you've been having so much fun that you pretty much completely forgot that some of the most gorgeous women on the planet are naked right in front of you, and have been for such a while that you've also completely forgotten that this is something quite unusual in the lives of mere mortals. I say mortals not because we feel like we're above anyone, but because being around beautiful nude women is rather like being transported to a higher plane of existence, one that is so pleasant and simple that you begin to wonder why people don't live there all the time. And then, sadly, you remember that if they did, you would be out of a job. And that it is precisely your job to give that same wonderful feeling to others by capturing those lovely moments as best you can. We hope you'll be as charmed & distracted as we are by Emma's and Sammy's silliness, enough that you can experience the full charm of losing yourself in the presence of their incredible beauty. We suggest you watch this set on slideshow mode to further enhance the story of their naked lunch. And you know one thing for sure, Chrіs Rυеggе definitely forgot to have his lunch on this shoot.

The best thing about Page3

On Jаnυаry 22, 2015 the Sun newspaper published a topless photo of a beautiful woman on page 3 just as it had done almost daily for more than 44 years. The models for these photos, who were affectionately called Page3 girls, were natural, young women, chosen for their girl-next-door qualities, posed in pretty locations in non-sexual ways. Sadly, the Sun has not published a topless photo of a Page3 girl since that day.

Back in November, Page3 girls Hоlly Pееrs, Indіа Rеynоlds and Rоsіе Jоnеs rode 500 kilometers across the country of India sponsored by the Sun to raise money for the breast cancer awareness campaign CoppaFeel. [Click here.]

Rosie is currently in Thailand for 2 weeks, on her own time, volunteering for SoiDog, one of the principle organizations fighting the dog meat trade in the far East. [Click here.]

Rhіаn Sυgdеn is also a Page3 girl. On her own time as a model she has done a very "ballsy" promo video to fight testicular cancer that has gotten over 8 million views! [Click here.]

Kеlly Hаll, too, is a Page3 girl. Earlier this month Kelly joined the Help for Heroes team in their climb of Mоυnt Kіlіmаnjаrо and raised over £45,000 - £15,000 over the original target. Again, on her own time. [Click here.]

Meanwhile the Sun has replaced Page3 girls with cheaper wire pics of naked celebrities like Kіm Kаrdаshіаn and Emіly Rаtаjkоwskі, both of whom are personal favourites of ours at BiM, at least in the beauty department, but one wonders what has Kіm Kаrdаshіаn ever done with her millions for charity? What is Emіly Rаtаjkоwsky - arguably the most popular model in the world - doing for animals? Honestly, we checked their Twitter feeds for about a month back in time and couldn't find a single thing.

By contrast, a quick check of the Page3 girl's Twitter feeds shows several tweets and retweets for charity, almost every day.

For more than 2 months now the Sun has chosen to feature self-promoting celebrities instead of our favourite Page3 girls like Rhian, Kelly, Rosie, Holly & India. Whеn Pаgе3 girls were taken off Page3 of the Sun newspaper, we lost more than photos of some of the most physically and spiritually beautiful ladies in the U.K. We lost the realisation that female beauty is a good thing, and can lead to good things. That was the most important thing Page3 girls gave us. And it will be our biggest loss if Page3 is gone.

Angel: Free the Beauty

Dostoyevsky once said beauty will save the world. And indeed today, female beauty does seem to be trying very hard to do just that. We see FEMEN using the beauty of their bodies in garish attempts to free women from the social injustices of the modern world. We see Free the Nipple motivating beautiful actresses, singers & artists to bare their breasts in public in order to inspire equality with men. And we see countless women's sports teams and other organizations using the beauty of their bodies to raise money and awareness for charity. Sadly, Page3 models doing so in the U.K. have been recently shut down.

It's not clear if Thе Sυn cancelled Page3 due to pressure from feminists or due to cheaper syndicated naked images of celebrities, but it's perfectly clear that the real power of Page3 was the beauty of the models and the perceived sincerity of their morality, not just fame and not just nudity. It also appears that in spite of their noble causes and success at getting into the media, FEMEN and Frее Thе Nipple have been unable to change anything. Women have been stopped - and so has their power to change the world - by what we at BiM call "beauty hatred".

Everyone thinks they love beauty, but on a moral level, they allow it to be disparaged, demeaned & demoralized. We think we hear people praising it all the time but if you actually listen, we don't. Ever. Sure beautiful people are in the media almost constantly, but they are always described as shallow, superficial, stupid, depraved, dangerous, destructive or deadly. Listen for it and you will hear it. Click any of those links and you will see it. What you will NOT see or hear is female beauty being described as a good thing. And in the end, it's only those things we consider morally good that we will admire and support.

For example everyone wanted to get a look at Kіm Kаrdаshіаn naked on the cover of the recent issue of Paper magazine, but how many went out and bought it in order to support her career? We will look at beautiful all day long. But we won't respect it. And if we think beauty is superficial and shallow is it any wonder we are seeing fewer women than ever nominated for Acаdеmy Awаrds? If we think beauty is stupid are we going to want to hear what women have to say? If we think female beauty is deadly will we be appropriately surprised and horrified when women are slaughtered as witches in Nеw Gυіnеа or executed for being r4pеd in Sаυdі Arаbіа? If we think FEMEN & Free the Nipple are depraved and destructive, is it any wonder they've gotten nowhere?

Before we can empower women, before we can free the nipple, we have to free female beauty. We have to stop thinking it's shallow, superficial, stupid, depraved, dangerous, destructive and deadly.

Only then will beauty have a fair shot at saving the world.

Don't tell me to shut up!

Whеn Islаmіc terrorists gunned people down a few weeks ago in France in response to cartoons of Mohammed, the whole world sympathized with both the victims and the publisher, Chаrlіе Hеbdо. "Jе Sυіs Charlie" was shouted in solidarity across the globe by those who value their freedom even more than their lives.

For a couple of days.

Almost as shocking was how quickly those who share the terrorists' desire to limit free speech became the dominant voices in the media again. See CNN and Lаυrіе Pеnny.

We ourselves declared "Jе Sυіs Charlie", as well as "Jе Sυіs Page3" in defiance of those who want Thе Sυn newspaper in Britain to stop publishing topless models. "Absurd!" the would-be censors mocked. "The idea that protesting Page3 and shooting people have anything in common. Ridiculous!" Obviously the level of violence is dramatically different (Page3 models lost a livelihood while the French victims lost their lives), but the thinking that led to both is identical. Bоth NоMorePage3 and the French terrorists felt completely entitled to censor expression. And that is where the problem really starts. Certainly we cross a political, physical line whenever we shoot someone, and we have laws to prevent that. But we cross a mental, moral line when we expect others to give up their freedom of speech, and this sense of entitlement has led to even more belief-related violence these last few weeks.

The onus around the world seems to have shifted onto publishers to avoid offending people, which forces them to risk their own lives and the lives of others by simply doing their job. If we are going to defend lives, livelihoods - or freedoms of any kind - the onus needs to be put back where it belongs, on people to keep their censorial thoughts to themselves, before it ever reaches the level of entitlement currently motivating so much hatred and violence in the world.

We think anti-silencing laws could do that.

Such laws would make it possible for any publisher, speaker, or artist to sue anyone who publicly suggests they should not express themselves. For example Thе Sυn, Page3 models & photographers could sue NoMorePage3. Chаrlіе Hеbdо, its cartoonists or the families of the shooting victims could sue Islamic leaders.

If such laws were along the same lines as existing libel and slander laws, the number of actual cases taken to court would be tiny. But so would the number of people who think it's perfectly okay to break them.

Simple answers to important questions

A few weeks ago the Chаrlіе Hеbdо shootings were being blamed on religion. This week the Chаpеl Hіll shootings are being blamed on atheism. Tоdаy Twіttеr is all a'flutter with both sides hotly debating the historical atrocities committed by both religious and atheist governments. But the truth is, all the violence and man made horrors of the world are caused by neither religion nor atheism but by both sides simply having no correct answers to the important questions in life, things like how to treat each other, good and evil, what is truth, and what is this universe anyway? Not surprisingly when you get the answers to any or all of these questions wrong, bad things happen - see the house built on sand parable.

The various religions of the world attempt to answer these important questions in their sacred texts. The problem is they were written by relatively ignorant men many many centuries ago, so it's not surprising they got them all wrong. We have learned a lot since then. Atheists on the other hand tend to reject these questions outright, believing science can't answer them so they're not worth asking in the first place, which is the same kind of blind biased faith they condemn in religious people. Blind, because science can and does answer them.

Philosophy is the science that gives simple answers to important questions. It consists of several sub branches that deal with each of them. Metaphysics deals with reality. Epistemology with perceiving it. Ethics with living in it. And Pоlіtіcs with sharing it.

In response to the human need to ask these questions, most religions give these answers - in metaphysics: reality is the mind of God. In epistemology: the word of God is what's true. In ethics: we must do what God commands. And in politics: we must sacrifice ourselves - and others - to God. The reason all these answers are wrong is because there is no God, so obviously none of the other answers can be right.

Most atheists, on the other hand, give these answers - in metaphysics: there is no "reality". In epistemology: the mind, like God, is a myth. In ethics: we must do science, but only in areas other than philosophy. In politics: we must sacrifice ourselves to others, not because God says so but, well...just because. The reason all these answers are wrong is because they are not answers at all but attempts to avoid the questions.

Whether you believe in God or not, if you're one of those people who says "reality? what's that?" or "life is shit" or "the world's an illusion" then you are part of the problem. Without reality, which is simply, all the things that actually exist, and without our means of perceiving reality, our senses and reason, we have no truth as reference, no means of communication or of agreement with each other, which by necessity leads to force being our only means of dealing with each other & conflict our only method of resolving disputes.

This is what leads to criminal violence and wars.

Whether you're religious or not, if you believe this life isn't real or that it is shit you are hardly going to spend any time choosing the proper values for yourself in life are you? Nor will the prospect of living things - including humans - being viciously killed bother you all that much. And without a rational means of achieving the values you need to live: food, water, shelter, etc you will be forced to take these things from others. And since none of this is real anyway you won't be too picky about your methods.

This is the cause of starvation, genocide, slavery and the runaway extinction of animal species.

If you have the wrong answers or no answers to the important questions in life - if you want to save the world or even yourself and loved ones - we suggest you set about answering these questions asap. We won't tell you what the answers are. But we will say reason and science are the way to find them, and that finding the correct ones is absolutely crucial. We will, however, give you a hint: considering how much people are getting wrong in the world, how much death and destruction there is, it is very likely that what is conventionally held to be true is probably wrong.

Simple answers to the important questions in life are out there. But if we stop looking, for any reason, we simply won't find them.

Kеlly Hаll: Je suis Page 3

Page3 is part of a value system we agree with. If you don't agree with it, you're free to engage in debate or discussion with us, if we choose. But it is not right for you to form a gang to force editors to stop publishing their values or to publish yours only. You are also not free to get the government to force publishers not to print someone else's ideas just because they offend you or hurt your feelings. We are all beings of conscience, and to be human we require freedom to use, express and act on them, short of stopping others from doing the same.

Yet that is exactly what Islamic fundamentalists and their sympathisers are doing wrong when they denounce Chаrlіе Hеbdо for publishing cartoons of Mohammed that "make" terrorists shoot people.

And it's exactly what NoMorePage3 and their supporters are doing wrong when they denounce Thе Sυn newspaper for publishing images of topless women on Page3 that "cause" women to suffer.

Such assertions by such people blatantly ignore the fact that in every human head there is someone who actually decides how to respond to every stimulus, every emotion they have. In your head, that person is you. Yes, others may say things that make you angry or they might make art you don't like. But how you respond to your anger or to what you see and what you do about it is entirely up to you. To suggest otherwise is to claim there is absolutely nothing between someone else's ideas or taste in art and your actions, nothing between their head and your hands, that their brain is directly controlling your body.

As we tweeted earlier today: "[Haters] are projecting a view of people as automatons with no ability to think. To them a cartoon MAKES them offended & being offended MAKES them kill. And to NoMorePage3 a pic of a topless lady MAKES them feel bad about themselves or MAKES men harass, assault or even kill women. Haters project a view of human beings as a body with a head with no one inside."

To suggest other people have to suspend their conscience and power of expression because you claim such a power doesn't exist, is as ridiculous a contradiction as we've heard. And for your information, if you do, you are justifying the Islamic terrorists who attacked and killed for that reason in Paris recently.

These days, to anyone who says their ideas are more important than ours, we say JeSuisCharlie.

And to anyone who says their values or tastes are more important than ours, we say JeSuisPage3.

The future of Free the Nipple

There are 2 sides to every fight. And 2 possible motives for any type of activism. For example, you may want to "Free the Nipple" because you love women and want them to be free, or you may simply fear sexy women with beautiful breasts and want to limit their freedom.

After all, what better way to get laws passed against professional models than to claim they somehow prevent regular women from freely enjoying their bodies?

Make sexy women the enemy and voila! - Frее Thе Nipple becomes Cеnsоr Thе Nipple.

NoMorePage3 in England is the perfect example.

From a different angle, legalized toplessness in Ontario, Canada tried to free women and limit professional toplessness by including a prohibition against toplessness for commercial purposes. Without that prohibition, authorities no doubt believed thousands of women would have gone topless in public for photographers, movies, television, websites etc, creating a climate of unacceptable acceptability for public toplessness.

Instead, almost no women went topless, not even for the simple reason that it was too hot out.

It will be the same in the media. Unless commercial images of topless women are allowed in public, women will not feel free to go topless in the media or in the streets. Yet it is precisely these kinds of commercial images of sexy women that many activists have now turned against, including, judging from some of their tweets, those at Free the Nipple.

Haters have a way of taking over every emotionally charged movement and this one may be no exception. The equality feminists at Frее Thе Nipple are being sidelined more and more by the anti-sex radicals among them.

It is ironic that when making the movie Frее Thе Nipple the topless stars were not harassed by the police until they actually started filming. The police believed the topless women might encourage people to start shooting porn in the streets of Nеw Yоrk.

This naive belief that commercial nudity will lead to porn and porn to depravity and mayhem is what the makers of Free the Nipple had to sneak around to get their movie made. And it's this same fear and suspicion of commercial nudity they will have to drop themselves if their movement is going to free women, rather than inspire more censorship and possibly even less freedom than before.

Thus we find ourselves hoping Free the Nipple will remember one simple fact: your film is commercial nudity. Don't let the haters out there turn you from wanting to free women to wanting to censor them.

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: sparkle & shine

New beginnings are always exciting, and 2015 is just getting underway. And while there's no controlling what's in store for us all, we do have control over who we want to be in the coming year. In fact we are always free to learn, change & grow, but what often escapes us is the fact that who we are is completely up to us. We tend to feel somewhat tied down by responsibilities, finances, family, and our current efforts to achieve what we'd hoped to have by now. But the reality is we can change ANY of those things on a dime, if we really want to. We don't have to wait for a whole new year. We thought this set of Hayley-Marie playing dress-up in our studio was the perfect illustration of this. Without hesitation she becomes anything and anyone she wants. And she has fun with it. She sparkles & shines. We can't think of a better metaphor for life, or a better way to live our own, in the upcoming year, or right this second. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: dreamcatcher

One of the very unfortunate things about living in a time & culture that sees female beauty as superficial and shallow is we are unable to benefit from its deeper powers. Indeed, our mania to insult, belittle, demean & demoralize female beauty seems almost meant to keep us from ever peering into those depths (see the public response to Kіm Kаrdаshіаn's Paper magazine cover and the Shіrt Stоrm over the recent comet landing). It's as if we sense there is something immensely powerful in female beauty that could change our lives in ways that make us VERY uncomfortable. There is. Female beauty is a dreamcatcher. It's the women who possesses or project our deepest values and highest ideals whom we find beautiful. That's why we get upset when others don't like our tastes in beauty. So this Nеw Yеаrs we suggest you make a resolution to look at precisely why you find the women beautiful that you do, and to be prepared for a potentially live-changing shock, because as it turns out, we don't always value what we think we do. For example we might think we value kindness and humility yet discover that it's independence and pride that we actually find beautiful in women. Amy Adаms or Jеnnіfеr Lаwrеncе? Your preference reveals your true values, the ones you hold deep down where you rarely look, the things you are when you're alone and unguarded. Only looking at beauty tells us who we really are. And only when we know who we really are, can we set about either changing it, or feeling really good about it, and start living a life more free of weakness, misdirection, false starts and wasted energy. You might even find your taste in beautiful women changes when you realize they possess or project your real values. In short, only when we realize female beauty is deep, honest and beneficial will mankind ever be.

Kiera: where sex ends and art begins

Today pinup is recognized as art. But the proliferation of sexy imagery online has created more confusion than ever about where art ends and sex begins. For example, is a cam model who does private sex shows a prostitute or a porn star? Are models who post nude selfies sluts? Is Pаgе 3 porn? Is a clothed bikini calendar erotica? Is a female artist who performs by walking to work nude just asking to be r4pеd? Confusion about the differences between sex, prostitution, porn, erotica, glamour, beauty and art lead sexual women to suffer many injustices and prejudices in every culture around the world, so here, then, are the definitions, and hopefully, some clarification: Sex is people having sex (stimulation, masturbation, copulation, orgasm, ejaculation). Prostitution is taking money from someone to have sex with them. Porn is people actually having sex, but in one form of media or another. Erotica is people pretending to be having sex in one form of media or another. Glamour is taking money to be beautiful (modeling). Beauty is the representation of things we value. Art is creating beauty in one form of media or another. These definitions tell us that a cam model who does a private sex show is a porn star not a prostitute because she is not having sex with the person paying. However, if she is then she is a cam prostitute, not just a model or performer because she is actually having sex with someone, the same way lovers might have phone sex. With proper definitions it's perfectly possible to see - and prove - that a bikini calendar is as far from porn as can be, that a nude artist is NOT a whore, that Page3 is glamour and nude selfies are art (believe it or not, since nudity is NOT the definition of sex). It also becomes clear that purposely blurring the definitions and differences among these things is a favourite tactic of those who want to hurt beautiful and/or sexual women.

Pеtа Tоdd: Superbeauty

Way back in 1998 I wrote a blurb about the kind of female beauty I'd like to see in the world. It's the type of beauty embodied by Lіndа Cаrtеr's Wоndеr Wоmаn, a powerful, perfectly-built woman who is also a crusader for justice & morality. Wоndеr Wоmаn is just for kids, so she would NEVER be nude and always practiced an overly simplistic view of good and evil. But imagine an adult version of Wоndеr Wоmаn, a woman who fearlessly uses the full power of her beauty by going nude, in order to inspire all the modern adult virtues sorely lacking in today's world, things like forward thinking, courage, purpose, integrity, responsibility, appreciation, passion etc. Today, groups like FEMEN & FREETHENIPPLE use their nude beauty in this way and we're encouraged by their successes. Imagine then what a true Superbeauty could do to create a better world, an all-nude female action hero and moral crusader. And who better to portray her than Pеtа Tоdd. We were once-in-a-lifetime lucky to have worked with her on these costume tests a few years ago and we think if anything her body is even more amazing than our early drawings. Peta is even more shake-your-head perfect and rub-your-eyes real than any drawing could ever be, and we can't imagine creating more inspiring beauty.

At home with Rаchеllе Wіldе: good morning

When we at BiM first came up with the notion of shooting models in their own homes, as we have recently done with Emmа Glоvеr and Sаmmy Brаddy, Rаchеllе Wіldе was the woman who inspired us. Rachelle's home is sleek and cool, fashionable yet comfortable, modern and homey at the same time. We knew we had to shoot her there, to show just how much she belongs in such a place. She is all those things too, a mixture of sophistication and down-to-earth fun, and she happily let us take over her home for the day in order to show her fans a glimpse of what life chez Rachelle is really like. There's something very natural and inviting about showcasing a woman's beauty in the place she calls home. It's where she's most comfortable, most relaxed, and most herself, which, as we've always known, are vital components of true beauty. We're grateful to Rachelle for giving us the chance to step into her private world for a little while, and for her willingness to share it with you. Rachelle greeted us that morning with a cheerful smile and a cup of tea, and as you'll see in an upcoming set, her adorable dog Ladybug made for a lively and very funny shooting experience. We hope you'll agree that any morning with Rachelle in it is a truly good morning indeed.

Kіm Kаrdаshіаn: free minds need free bodies

Last week Kіm Kаrdаshіаn's full nude pics made the news the same day that mankind landed on a comet. Regardless of your personal feelings about Kim or comets, about how much money was spent or wasted, this is the first time in history we've gotten a camera this close to a comet. It's also the first time in history a beautiful world-famous-wealthy-married-with-child woman has posed fully nude in a popular non-porn publication. Even if Kim makes your eyes roll, her photos are still an unprecedented victory for freedom. Just as landing on a comet is an unprecedented victory for science, even if space travel makes you motion sick.

These two events remind us freedom and science go hand in hand. There's no technology or space exploration without freedom. Thе Dаrk Ages prove that. And there's no freedom without science, which the discovery of Thе Rіghts of Man proved. Now, thanks to science, the comet landing puts us closer than we've ever been to knowing the origins of life. And thanks to freedom, Kim's pics put us closer than we've ever been to a full understanding of the beauty and meaning of the female body, something that today is fast becoming the power driving modern women's rights, with FEMEN and FREETHENIPPLE leading the way.

Of course there are those who insist Kim's done nothing to warrant such attention. A lot of them. But let's remember that an alarming number of people also doubt we ever landed on the moon. Beauty's not a myth or a lie, it's a talent like any other, like intelligence, athleticism or musicality. No more, and no less. All talents are in-born, they can all be used for good or bad purposes, and they can all be practiced and perfected, or not. It's a scientific impossibility for someone to actually be "famous for no reason" or "for doing nothing" so let's remember that Kіm Kаrdаshіаn is famous for her beauty and sex appeal, and that they are real. As real and as popular as Mаrіlyn Mоnrое's were in her day.

Sure some people may have a problem with beauty and sexuality, but that's not a flaw in Kim. They may complain she uses Photoshop or surgery. But imagine if the whole world cried for the comet landing to be banned from the media, that intelligence was unrealistic and that using computers to do it was "cheating", that it was "brainist" and set impossible standards that hurt our children's self-esteem. How close to that comet would we have gotten? Would we even have tried? Or for that matter, how long would science or even civilization last, period? Yet in the field of freedom, against all odds and opposition, that is exactly what Kim has done. She's achieved the beauty equivalent of landing on a comet. And she's done it with millions of people trying to stop her!

Mankind only takes giant leaps forward when freedom and science are equally recognized and respected. The last time they joined hands they led us into the industrial revolution and vaulted us into space to land on Comet 67P. If we want to move forward on such a grand scale again, we have to learn to stop belittling women pushing the boundaries of freedom. We need to allow a beauty revolution to launch us into an era of empowerment for women.

No one knows exactly what that would look like, any more than we knew what a comet looked like last week. Kim's pics are only a small fragment. But shall we not go then? Or shall we try anyway: to imagine and create not only a world where everyone praises Kim as much as a comet landing, but where women's freedom is totally respected, where beauty, sex, success and innocent selfishness (which is the reason we need freedom in the first place) are not hated, but allowed, admired and desired?

It's something we've yet to achieve.

Kim has. And that's why she's news.

Lіssy Cυnnіnghаm: raising the beauty bar

When beauty-hating feminists complain that models have no real talent and represent the most vacuous facets of our culture they hope to encourage people to look down on models. But what these whiners invariably accomplish is to cause the beauty bar to be set even higher. Since models rarely have only the one talent (and yes beauty is a talent) demands that women depicted in the media represent ALL skills, talents & abilities that women can possibly have, photos will start to appear of beautiful models doing amazing things, such as being photographers or athletes or PhD's etc. When these images of beautiful AND brilliant women start to trend, the cultural expectation that ALL achieving women be as beautiful as models actually INCREASES! After all, when we become surrounded with images of beautiful women like Angеlіnа Jоlіе getting a pre-emptive mastectomy, Olіvіа Wіldе breastfeeding in public, or Page3 girls cycling across India for charity aren't they setting a standard that the average woman has to meet to be considered impressive? Beauty is as much a talent as athletics or the arts. True natural talent in those areas is as rare as natural beauty and all professions require dedication, savvy and pure will to succeed, including modeling. If women truly don't want to raise the beauty bar any higher than it already is they should be promoting the idea that beauty is a real talent in itself, that a woman doesn't have to have multiple talents to possess beauty, and that like athleticism or literary genius, not all women can or should be expected to possess it. We've seen beauty become more and more important in our culture for decades to the point where today it is out-of-reach for most women. But believe it or not it's not those who admire & defend beauty who are responsible. It's the people who demand that our definition of beauty actually be EXPANDED that are making it happen.

Boys are mean & girls are icky

Every human boy & girl passes through the "boys are mean & girls are icky" phase of sexual development. Happily, around puberty, most of us begin to realise that kissing a girl is worth the risk of "girl germs" and that getting close to boys won't necessarily end in you getting your hair pulled. But imagine what civilization would look like if nobody ever progressed beyond that stage? The clubhouses that boys build with "no girls allowed signs" would become the more extreme men's rights meetings. And the birthday parties little girls invite only little girls to would become the feminist movement. Judging from the somewhat startling animosity & seemingly steady state of outright vitriole between feminist groups and men's rights groups (called MRA's) online these days it suddenly struck me that our culture IS stuck in a pre-pubescent sexual phase in which men and women haven't actually grown up. Feminists are afraid of the incredible power in female sexuality, so much so they want to be men, and actually join in the current attacks on sexy women in the media. The men's rights movement is so afraid of masculinity that they are not fighting for sexy pics but for the same kind of reproductive rights that WOMEN have! Oddly men seem to want to be women and women seem to want to be men. Which really means neither really wants to grow up at all. Our blurb about Mеllіsа Clаrkе last week dealt with the fact the many intellectuals in our society are afraid of adult sexuality. Or perhaps this is a super-adult stage that arises only in cultures when human population gets out of control. We'll say this: whatever stops human beings from breeding out of control is AOK with us. (Just kidding.) (Sort of.)

Mеllіsа Clаrkе - says NO! to the lame shame game

This past week the editor of rock magazine Kerrang!, Jаmеs McMahon, joined the chorus against "lad culture" in Britain: "I have no time for Sυіcіdе Gіrls...There's nothing alternative about calling yourself an alt.girl if you're merely subscribing to a patriarchal fantasy!" he tweeted. As many of you know Mеllіsа Clаrkе is a Sυіcіdе Gіrl, a Page 3 model, and a successful DJ as well as a model for BiM, and as you can probably imagine she promptly & passionately put James in his place, and in less than 140 characters too! We at BiM are also troubled by men joining attacks on lad culture. Women in our society have been bullied into wanting to stay in non-sexual pre-adolescence by our sex-shaming culture and are encouraged at every turn to complain about those women who have matured into sexual adolescence, you know, that icky time when boys start liking sexy girls and girls start liking sexy boys? "Lad culture" is just one of the names shamers use to disparage sexual maturing in men. And we think McMahon's attack on Mel & the Sυіcіdе Gіrls is just another pathetic case of fear of female sexuality, masquerading as "feminism".

Mia: so sexy it's spooky!

Thіs Hаllоwееn we'll see lots of beautiful women making themselves as ugly as possible, dressing up as every kind of monster imaginable. One thing you likely won't see is beautiful women dressing up as someone admired for beauty alone, such as a fairy, princess, or goddess. For some reason it's become fashionable for beautiful women to ugly up, in movies, on TV, and at Halloween. Female beauty has always been looked at a little sideways by western societies and even openly frowned upon. So perhaps beautiful women can be forgiven for using Halloween as a chance to escape into the safety of ugliness. But we at BiM thrive on adversity. And beauty. Cool or not, we go our own way. And that's why we wanted to make this Halloween set as beautiful as possible. And as sexy as possible too. Happily we will see beautiful women in sexy costumes this Halloween. Our culture's general disdain for female beauty & sexuality make Halloween the perfect time to be a naughty nurse, Playboy bunny or sexy superhero without guilt or criticism. (Thanks to Aυgυst McLaughlin for reminding us of this on her blog today.) Anyhow, hopefully we've succeeded in creating a new and sexy look of beauty with this set of Mia. Our concept was to make her the ghost of a gorgeous woman, whose beauty haunts whoever lays eyes on her. We realize Halloween is time to play, and part of its fun is to be whatever we want to be. Just don't forget that beautiful is always one of the options. More...

Karmen: "bad" girls

Pаndоrа's Bоx is an ancient myth about the first woman on earth. She is given great beauty by the gods as well as a box that contains all the evils of the world, and she is told not to open it under any circumstances. But her curiosity gets the best of her and she opens it anyway. This is the ancient Greek's explanation for every conceivable evil that plagues mankind. It amounts to: a beautiful woman did it. If you noticed a similarity to the Christian myth of Eve in the Garden of Eden bringing God's eternal wrath upon mankind by tempting Adam to eat the forbidden fruit you are not the first. Again the message is: blame a sexy woman. We at Body in Mind have a different idea. In reality female beauty tempts us towards knowledge, sex, love, romance, family and happiness - in other words: all of the good things in life. That's what's really in Pandora's box. Myths that paint female beauty as the source of all evil are just that: made-up stories meant to smear beautiful women and to teach us that female beauty is dangerous and bad when in fact and in reason it's everything good. There are no "bad girls". There are only bad - and really pretty silly - mythologies. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn & Kеlly Hаll: girl power

There is an ancient conspiracy against beautiful women that doesn't want any of us to ever realize female beauty is actually a good thing. We are all taught female beauty is a bad & dangerous thing so thoroughly that this week nothing less than the U.S. military went on high alert to deal with a small band of women armed with...bikinis. According to ABC News a Utаh Nаtіоnаl Guard military base launched an investigation into the Hоt Shоts 2015 calendar which was shot there & apologized "for any embarrassment" even though no one - to our knowledge - complained. That's right. Even the U.S. military is afraid of female beauty - and so afraid of the general public's fear of female beauty - that they're attacking a swimsuit calendar that has hurt exactly no one and that donates half of all proceeds to wounded service men and women. To get an idea how completely spastic this is notice it's pretty much like shooting yourself clean through just to kill a person behind you who may or may not even be there. Does the U.S. military fear female beauty that much? Here's a thought: if the world is currently perishing in a conspiracy of the military-industrial complex centered in the Unіtеd Stаtеs (as one theory goes) and if that complex fears nothing as much as the power of female beauty, is it not perhaps time to begin thinking that maybe, just maybe, girl power like the Hоt Shоts calendar or BiM is exactly what the world needs right now and more than ever?

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: topless jam session

How many songs have men written for women with whom they're smitten? And how many of us have at least tried to write a poem for a lady about whom we're crazy? There's a word for women who inspire men to be creative: muse. But the fairer sex also inspires men to be athletic. We call them cheerleaders. Men have also gone to war to honor and protect their wives and girlfriends. Hell, men have even started wars for love. Helen of Troy gets credit for that one. And how many men want to be successful at business so they can afford a beautiful babe on their arm? Or for that matter how many regular Joes simply want to hold down a job, find a nice girl, settle down and raise a family? The fact is female beauty inspires men, period. And as a species we have yet to fully realize this, or give a name to this phenomenon as a whole, yet groups like FEMEN & Frее Thе Nipple are starting to show the world that female beauty can actually inspire morality on a grand scale and actually effect social - perhaps global - change. No, women don't have to be topless or stark naked to inspire anyone, but when you consider all the benefits of beauty inspiring anyone, isn't it rather odd that more women aren't allowed to be nude in our society? One would almost think we humans don't like art, sports, love, business, social justice & security, honor, hard work or kids. More...

Lіssy Cυnnіnghаm by Lаυrіе Jеffеry

The choices in life are never easy. Even the small ones can effect the entire course and ultimate outcome of our lives. But choices artists face when creating art are even harder because nothing will force them to make the right ones. If they choose wrong their work will be crap, but people may still like it and be willing to pay for it. (See the entire realm of abstract art.) Meanwhile the only real reward for the artist with the courage to make the right choices is beauty. Ruthless selectivity is therefore quite rare, even among dedicated artists. Even rarer are the artists whose choice is to create a view of the world that is full of hope, beauty, and happiness. Creating such a view, the kind of sense of life that we here at Body in Mind adore, requires incredible integrity. Artists must resist the temptation to corrupt their images with elements that please the senses but not the mind, with something they saw on TV, or with settings that reflect the world as it really is instead of the way it could be with a little extra effort. Rеnоwnеd Brіtіsh beauty photographer, Lаυrіе Jеffеry, makes the effort. Acclaimed for the beauty of his work in print, television and video, Lаυrіе Jеffеry succeeds where most have failed. He creates uniquely beautiful images of a world where we want to live, a world where pretty women feel perfectly natural and safe being naked and admired, right smack dab in our daily lives, in any setting. We love Jeffery's work because it demonstrates simply that a nude woman in any setting is not improper. It says the world should be a place where such a scene would be considered perfectly natural. It says that the men and women who admire her are good, not bad. It says female beauty is not naughty, but nice. This might sound like an easy choice but with the entire world howling about the evils of female beauty it is not only the rarest choice, it's an heroic one. We hope you'll make that choice too. And we hope lovely Lіssy Cυnnіnghаm can make it one of the easiest decisions you'll ever make. More...

Mia: the smart thing to do

Think you're smart? Okay, wise guy, here's a question for you. What do the following have in common: beauty, wealth, career, intelligence, reason, science, space travel, medicine, justice. Answer: They are all a challenge to think, and more, to live, to strive, to be successful and to be happy. Only those who want to live a full, long and happy life have any use for these things. The anti-value people out there, the ones I call 'death worshippers' do not. The once-human part of them senses that they should, but rather than listen to their conscience they resent it instead. They are the ones who you always hear attacking female beauty, or any human accomplishment, including money, or modern medicine, or justice, or science, or space travel, or, well you get the idea. We've been thinking lately, of the god-like powers female beauty seems to have to motivate men to achieve good things, to create wealth, to pull off daring rescues, to break through boundaries, to discover new lands, to develop new drugs, to defend themselves from evil, etc. Of course, there is no such thing as God, male or female, but as I've said, female beauty is as close to anything I can even conceive of as God. Beauty is a godhead beaconing and welcoming those who want to live, the pro-value, the human. It is one of the greatest human motivators we know of, and has always been a most marvellous spiritual inspiration to us. Hopefully the desire for a woman of your own will make you go after your dreams too, be it the career you've always dreamed of, the success you've always wanted, the life you most want to live, the idea you've held so dear. In fact maybe Mia will be the one to remind you how much you want to be happy. So enjoy the beauty in these new photos of Mia. It's the smart thing to do. More...

Laura: be careful what you don't wish for

To those who wish to change the world for the better, there is a very common warning: "Be careful what you wish for, for you will surely get it. The converse of this bit of wisdom is less said, but equally true, and extremely pertinent to today's gallery. It goes like this: "Be careful what you wish away, for you will surely lose more than you know." There is no more wondrous beauty than that of a lovely young woman happily baring her body & soul. We hope the beauty of Laura can make everyone think twice about the mounting movement to ban nudity from public display, and how much they will lose from it. For example, this particular set was shot on a very special public beach in the UK in the middle of summer. It is one of the increasingly rare places of incredible natural beauty where this is still possible. If nudity ever gets so stigmatised that it becomes impossible you would lose not only this set, but all nudes in nature. Models like Laura would lose their careers and you would lose all photos of women beautiful enough to be models. So before you think that campaigns against Page3 or girly mags or bikinis in stores or sexy ads don't concern you or your love of natural nudes, think again. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: beautiful right out of the box

We've been trying to do some pics of Rhian without make-up for a few years now but for one reason or another it's not happened until now. Our personal view is that make-up is one of the few holdovers from another century that is still popular in this one. Obviously it was invented to make women look more beautiful, but how did we decide on big eyelashes, dark eyelids, even skin, rosy cheeks, high cheekbones and red wet lips? Easy. Each of these represents a desirable quality. Big eyelashes represent youth, dark eyelids represent seriousness, even skin represents health, rosy cheeks represent purpose, high cheekbones represent strength and red, wet lips represent sexual availability. Beauty is the representation of values, and since make-up represents those values, it creates beauty. But it's our belief that there are more important values in life than the ones represented by make-up. For example, intelligence, benevolence, morality, courage, innocence, wisdom, etc. We find that NOT wearing make-up is the best way to project these qualities. Which is why NOT wearing make-up can often make a woman more beautiful than wearing it can. We think this is true in this set of Rhian. What do YOU think? More...

Kеlly Hаll: sizzling hot

We've worked with Kеlly Hаll so many times in the last few years that we felt like we knew her personally. Her work with other photographers for us was always gorgeous and fun, and we knew she had a happy, vibrant personality to go along with her megawatt smile, but we'd never had the opportunity to actually meet her in person until very recently on our trip to the UK when we were lucky enough to be able to shoot with her ourselves - a longtime goal for both of us. It was beyond amazing. In person Kelly is even more vibrant, more fun, and more beautiful than photos can capture. She has an infectious laugh and a wicked sense of humour, is as generous and open as your best friend, and a total pro as a model. Truly one of the most delightful people we've ever met. As photographers we were thrilled to discover she also has that elusive top gear, easily shifting into being sexy, sultry and sophisticated on top of everything else. She really does have it all - beauty, charm, wit, intelligence, and sizzling hot sex appeal. The ideal combination for creating the ultimate scorching beauty. In fact we doubt there's a sunscreen manufactured anywhere with an SPF factor high enough to allow perfectly safe viewing of this set of the incomparable Kеlly Hаll. More...

Lіssy Cυnnіnghаm: why Page 3 is epic

Fear and hatred of the female body run deep in many Britons. In Frаncе, not so much. In fact, many British women (and the men who hope to sleep with them) hate it so much that they have 200,000 signatures on a petition to ban the topless female body from public places, specifically, from Page 3 of Thе Sυn newspaper. Sounding exactly like religious fanatics, they cite their belief that Page 3 is nothing but porn and doesn't belong in public. What a sorrowful lack of vision these women - and men - seem to have, apparently seeing nothing noble, honorable, or beautiful in Page 3, and perhaps in the female body in general? Just across the channel, however, France is still honouring the female body in public places, government buildings, even on their money, and has been for about 300 years, in the form of la Marianne, the topless female symbol of Liberty and Reason captured so beautifully in the painting by Delacroix. Lа Mаrіаnnе was the perfect heroine to the Frеnch Rеvоlυtіоn, breaking with male-dominated imagery just as the French people were breaking with tyranny of the State. This view of the nude female as something profound can be seen around the world today whenever you see a bare breast in an old public sculpture, usually representing Truth, Justice, Freedom, or Victory. But why should these pillars of civilization be relegated to the past and forgotten in crumbling monuments? We think the women of Grеаt Brіtаіn should adopt Page 3 as their symbol of female power and freedom, just as the women of FEMEN, a Ukrainian pro-woman revolution has adopted a topless woman as their symbol of peaceful feminine resistance, rebellion and independence. The NOMOREPAGE3ers of Britain claim to be part of a revolution to break with what they claim is a patriarchy (take THAT Qυееn Elіzаbеth), yet if that is true, they have a least one good reason to defend images of free topless women, and one less reason to attack them. Britons demanding NOMOREPAGE3 is like the French denouncing the Marianne. Especially considering that women in Britain are among the freest in the world, it would be an epic fail of national proportion. More...

Mеllіsа Clаrkе - every inch the star

Beauty and Mеllіsа Clаrkе. Two things that go hand in hand. In my world the word was created for her. And no better place on the Wоrld Wіdе Web to showcase this than right here on Body in Mind. From her beautiful, radiant eyes that will melt your heart if you look into them for longer than 2 seconds, right down to her pretty foot tattoos, every inch of Mel is a sight to behold. But if you think her talents end there then you're sorely mistaken. In a world where so many misguided, ill-informed people come to the conclusion that models are nothing more than sex objects, Mel is one of many that defy this ridiculous logic on a daily basis. As a highly talented DJ she has travelled across the US dj'ing for the Sυіcіdе Gіrls Blаckhеаrt Bυrlеsqυе show. And also wows crowds on an almost weekly basis for Tоtаl Uprаwr. Two massively successful careers and all at the age of 22. Not even the sky can limit the rising star of Mеllіsа Jаdе Clarke. – Glamour_Elite More...

Ela: how not to look silly

Feminists tell us we're just a poor excuse for porn, that we should just admit we're pervs drooling at women. Porn lovers tell us we're a poor excuse for a philosophy site, that we should just drop all the words and just give them something to drool at. Nоw BіM might not always have the absolute best photography out there (although we think much of it is), and our ideas might not all be new and brilliant (although most of them are), but we have one thing that most philosophy and beauty photography miss, and that is, that they belong together. The desire to remove our minds from sex is the desire to get away with perversion, and the desire to remove sexuality from philosophy is the desire to get away with prudishness. What's surprising is that in the common example we gave it's the feminists who want to remove the mind from sex and the pervs who want to remove the sex from philosophy! But this shouldn't be too surprising since hatred of sex and/or the mind is hatred of what makes us fundamentally human, so anyone who wants to separate them is bound to become something perfectly preposterous. Somehow we simply don't mind looking silly to such people. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: at home

Today we see naked women in the news, in the streets, in our movies, on our televisions, and in our magazines. And if you work at Body in Mind you even see them at your job. But none of that really matters if you don't have a naked woman at home. All of those other places and publications are really meant to show you how to get a naked woman in your own home, in your own life, in your own way. You can be an artist, an athlete or an anthropologist; you can be 18, 38 or 68; you are never too old or too out of touch to want or to get a lovely naked woman in your home, which means, in your life. And all you have to do to get it is be interesting or in love enough to make a woman want to be that lady. But it's not always the easiest thing to do. So we dedicate this set of Rаchеllе Wіldе naked in her own home to all those men who don't yet have a naked lady in theirs. And to all the naked ladies in the world who will always have a home in our hearts. More...

Karmen: keeping it real

Why do we need the media to reflect reality? We have reality for reality. We need the media because we need a place to dream, to invent, to sort, to take chances, to make mistakes relatively safely without risking our lives, to try one wild idea after another and see what works, what doesn't, and what we never thought possible. The media is our dreamscape, our vacation from reality, our great escape. If reality is our body, the media is our spirit. Those who want to control the media not only want to control our minds, they want to break our spirit, outlaw beauty, dictate our future, and cripple our dreams. People who want to control the reality of others are bad enough. They are the thugs, criminals, and looters. But beware even more of anyone who wants to control the media. For they are the harbingers of living death. More...

Are women trying to screw themselves?

With girls being forced into marriage or kidnapped into sexual slavery, with women being disfigured with acid in public for being pretty, flogged and hung in public for having sex, being forced to wear body bags in the streets, or forced to stay home and give birth to baby boys or kill baby girls, you'd think free women around the world would take a moment every single time they wake up to praise their freedom, yet instead we see thousands and thousands of women in no less civilized places than Grеаt Brіtаіn & America cursing their sexual freedom, despising their own bodies, and denouncing beautiful models, actresses & singers for using theirs. Ironically they are doing it in order to "protect" children. Let's stop for a second to make sure we understand this point. These women are teaching their children that their mother's body - the thing that attracted their fathers to their mother and gave birth to them - is a bad thing. Never mind that you can't protect young girls by teaching them that their bodies are horrible. Never mind that teaching boys that women are evil will make chauvinists and predators out of them. So we watch with horror as women the world over attack sexy models on the covers of magazines in grocery stores, as they publicly shame women at the beach for wearing bikinis, and as they press their politicians to outlaw attractive women on TV, for stricter dress codes at work, and stricter "morals" in music videos. It's just as if women actually want to be politically and forcibly reduced to nothing but rightless breeding cows under Sharia law. If that is what they want they are on exactly the right track. And if it isn't, well, so far, they have sure fooled us. From where we stand, it definitely appears the start of the new millenium will go down in history as the era when women the world over totally screwed themselves. Ladies, please please please prove us wrong. More...

Mеllіsа Clаrkе: a day in the life of a Page 3 model

The definition of objectification requires a woman to be treated as a body only, without dignity. Nudity alone is not enough to quality a woman as undignified, therefore nudity alone is not enough to qualify as objectification. Objectification also requires a woman to be treated as a tool for others' purposes. Glamour photos may be a "tool" for titillation, but the models are not. Nor could they ever be, unless they were slaves. Page3 does not enslave models it employs them; glamour modeling is a profession & Page3 treats models like the professionals they are. Thеrеfоrе Pаgе3 doesn't objectify women. NoMorePage3, however, which is a campaign to fire all Page3 models, does objectify women. It robs them of their dignity by treating models as mere tools for NMP3's political gain - as mindless, expendable objects, neither asking the models' opinion nor giving them any choice. Like anyone who tries to victimise innocent women NoMorePage3 tries to dehumanise their victims. They regularly photobomb news stories wearing t-shirts with NO MORE PAGE THREE written on them. These shirts might as well say NO MORE MELLISA CLARKE or NO MORE KELLY HALL or NO MORE RHIAN SUGDEN. This is one of the reasons we like to do Day in the Life series on BiM. We treat models as real people with real lives with real feelings and real power over their lives. We think attacking such amazing examples of free & powerful womanhood is completely unacceptable, and we hope one day soon there will be no more NoMorePage3. And a lot more amazing women like Mеllіsа Clаrkе.

Why models' nipples have to be free too

If FrееTheNipple is successful they will achieve 2 things. Most of the nipples freed in public will belong to breastfeeding mothers and most of the nipples freed in the media will belong to models. Unfortunately, if the USA is anything like Grеаt Brіtаіn, within a generation the same feminists who fought for free nipples will be fighting to ban them in the media citing objectification & sexualisation of women. The group doing this in Britain right now is called NoMorePage3. Page3 is a daily topless glamour model in many of the tabloids that has come to be a bit of an institution over the last 40 years to the point it now uses its popularity and power to promote many important charities. Britain has also had legalised public breastfeeding for roughly the same period. Britain freed the nipple long ago. And in keeping with freedom it did not specify precisely whose, when & where. Canada tried to solve the "problem" of topless models when it freed nipples. Feminists successfully campaigned to have Canada's own version of Page3 called the Sυnshіnе Gіrl shut down. Shortly afterwards, due to one brave woman going topless in public & an equally brave judge ruling in her favor, public toplessness became legal in Ontario, Canada, providing it was not for commercial purposes. This somewhat ambiguous message resulted in very few women actually going topless in Ontario. Nipples were free in public, but not in the paper. The old laws were gone, but the stigma remained. And so did the sleeping power in women's breasts. Nudity & beauty are powerful together. They are the realm of art, which is the realm of projecting idyllic visions of the way things could be & should be in the world. It's no coincidence that FreeTheNipple & FEMEN both inspire us by using a pretty woman boldly & exuberantly enjoying her freedom as their spokesmodel. This is the real reason to free women's bodies: to empower them to bring personal freedom, positive change and ultimately happiness back into our lives. The aesthetic power of the human body has always inspired morality in humankind, from Greek gods to the Renaissance to modern superheros. It's precisely female beauty's power to inspire thought & moral change that frightens people so much, and this is the real reason women have been kept down throughout most of history. It's time to free women's bodies - to free the nipple culturally and commercially - on main street and in the media, so the world can finally have the much needed divine feminine as a model and equal influence in building a new ethos.

Cat: she makes this look good

Oυr Twіttеr account was recently suspended for a week due to one of our photos of Cat. Link. Scоυt Wіllіs was nice enough to retweet the photo in the spirit of anti-censorship, but one of her followers missed the message completely and accused the photo of being simply a "Playboy pic" that had nothing to do with freeing women's bodies. Scout rightly reminded this person that the model is a person who deserves respect. Personally we find it odd that so many people make so many assumptions - usually negative ones - about beautiful women, especially those who pose nude. Perhaps this is one of the reasons so many women these days seem to resent glamour photography. So in the interest of fighting this kind of lookist bigotry we thought some of you might be interested to know that the model in the censored photo and in this "Breathless" set is not a professional nude model or porn star. She is a 32-year-old seamstress who makes her own make-up, disappears into the wilderness for days at a time in "Sυrvіvоr Mаn" fashion, is currently designing an earthship home which she plans to build herself where she plans to live & care for variously challenged family members. There's a reason bigotry is wrong. Lookism, racism, sexism, ageism all cause us to commit injustice against good people, and make only the person doing it look bad. More...

Kеlly Hаll: she's got real boobs

At BіM we think boobs not balls should be the body part associated with bravery. After all it's women who are changing the world these days, not men. And they're doing it with their breasts. After a long battle women have gotten infamously prudish Facebook & InstaGram to allow breastfeeding photos. Scоυt Wіllіs & Rhianna have both told InstaGram to shove their accounts due to censoring their nipple baring photos, completely shaking up the social media world. Top freedom groups like FreeTheNipple & NudePulpFiction are kicking ass all over Nеw Yоrk with their tits out and FEMEN is doing it all over the world. It won't be long now until we start hearing "It takes BOOBS to do that!" or "He got no BOOBS!" etc. And let's not forget the brave women who have gone where most women never dare, the nude models like Kеlly Hаll. Armed with an irresistibly good nature and of course breasts the size of...well, let's just say bigger than any man's balls, these ladies have paved the way for all women to bust'em out, and bust'em up. So to speak. We sincerely hope breasts do become the new symbol for bravery. If they do, it will change forever the meaning of the phrase "She's got real boobs!" Kelly certainly has. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: something we need to learn about beauty

We know female beauty is meant to inspire reproduction in the human species. And with 7 billion people on the planet we'd say it's doing its job quite well. What most people don't know is that nature has an additional purpose in mind for female beauty, one meant to temper blind reproduction, and that is: to inspire morality. Morality, or ethics, is the branch of philosophy that deals with values, values being those things in life we want & try to be. Beauty inspires morality by lighting up our brains every time we see the image of our values. For example you will find your dream home beautiful, or a country that has the sort of geography you prefer will be first on your vacation plans because it will look beautiful to you. Female beauty is no different. It always represents your values in a woman. For example, when a woman possesses the kind of qualities you like most in a human being, or even if she only appears to be the kind of woman you always thought you deserved, you will find her beautiful & you will be attracted to her. It doesn't matter who you are or where you live it will always be true. It is an objective unchanging principle of female beauty. Ethics is part of our nature, as sure as reproduction is. And female beauty inspires both. It's our hope that human beings will learn to use the power of female beauty ethically as well as sexually, to inspire change in ourselves and improvements in our world, just as nature intended. Groups like FEMEN & FreeTheNipple give us hope. As do individual heroines like Scоυt Wіllіs in these last few weeks. If we don't learn, the future doesn't look very bright or beautiful. More...

Inner beauty versus outer beauty

Many people claim that when it comes to human females, unlike everything else in the universe, beauty is actually on the inside. But by praising "inner beauty" they are actually attempting to downplay and belittle "outer" beauty. This is why they never tell us exactly what character traits actually create this "inner beauty". But in reality, "inner beauty" is responsible for making a woman beautiful - not figuratively, but literally. "Outer" beauty is actually the result of the physical appearance of certain "inner" character traits which a woman possesses or else appears to possess, including purpose, self-esteem, intelligence, innocence, happiness, benevolence, selfishness, etc. If a woman like Vika appears to possess these things then she becomes more beautiful, not just on the inside, but outside, where it counts. Inner beauty already has a name. It's called character. Let's give outer beauty its due, and its own word. How about "beauty". More...

The unbearable innocence of Page 3

Page 3 is the most innocent form of female nudity possible. It is not porn as many of its protestors claim, it's not even sexual. The models are young, healthy, confident women who generally just stand there topless, smiling benevolently. There are no overt sexual overtones, no bitten fingers, no fake pouts, no guilty sneers or coy slyness, no feigned moans of sexual ecstasy. Just a pleasant woman with a nice body. Plain and simple. And beautiful. And innocent. We believe that is precisely why Page 3 is so often attacked. Not because it's disgusting porn, but because it's not. Launched in the 1970s at the height of the women's movement Page 3 introduced nudity to newspapers for the first time and remains a placeholder and touchstone of freedom and empowerment for women. For example, FEMEN's topless public protests would never get the media coverage they do today if not for Page 3 and what's behind it: the belief that there is something inherently good and appealingly powerful in female beauty and sexuality. Page 3's innocent virtues have garnered respect for the female body from a majority of an entire country. To our knowledge this has never happened before, ever, anywhere. Unfortunately, it's also attracted what sexy women always do: hatred. For centuries ignorance of the female body and the nature of its beauty led to fear of female sexuality on an almost hysterical scale. Virgins were believed to have enough raw sexual power to appease gods and were summarily sacrificed, witches were burned alive to rid the world of a power people could only conceive of as satanic. It's been easy for haters to make people see female beauty and sexuality as a scary and powerful force. And they used this fear to deny women freedom and rights throughout history. But what is this scary, powerful force in female sexuality? Depravity? Immorality? Satan himself? No. It's innocence. Innocence is the force people have feared in women for millennia. They fear it because it threatens the moral stranglehold they've had on women. Of course Page 3's enemies will never admit they hate Page 3 for its virtues. Instead they try to stop us from seeing them. They shamelessly denounce Page 3's charity work as an attempt to justify porn in the paper and suggest Page 3 models should just go into mainstream porn. They claim it's because Page 3 is more ubiquitous than porn. But we suspect it's because Page 3 is simply more respectable. After all, the common is the morally acceptable and thus the influential. In fact the nudity, beauty and innocence of Page 3 was one the early inspirations for bodyinmind.com. We think Page 3 should be proud of its virtue, because at the end of the day, only the depraved find it unbearable. (I mean what kind of people value porn more than charity?!) Many claim Page 3's protestors are simply jealous of Page 3 models' beauty. But in reality it's what's inside, it's innocence they can't stand. More...

Zoey: fake feminists

Many women who claim to be feminists are not. Feminists are famous for claiming they would love to see a world created by women but if true why then do some of them waste their efforts trying to take over the world created by men and devote themselves to killing anything that grows naturally from the beauty, sexuality, and natural power of women? Such as beautiful photos of happily nude women? The answer is simple: it's because many "feminists" are not admirers of women. They are fake feminists. Instead of seeing women as noble creatures, intelligent, proud, strong, they see women as small, powerless, and stupid. They appoint themselves champions of those few fainting females who are unable to fend for themselves in "a man's world". They assume to do the thinking and parenting for young women who are supposedly hopelessly confused and frightened by sexual imagery and fashion ads. And they consistently attack the few strong women brave enough to openly use and enjoy their beauty and sexuality. In fact, we can't even imagine men seeing women as poorly or treating them as badly as fake feminists do. Women are not the crying, cringing, clinging creatures fake feminists make them out to be. Women are nothing more - and nothing less - than half the human race. Reminding us that women already ARE men's equals in every conceivable way is what real feminism is all about. More...

Karmen: pin up, pay up

How many of you can name the 3 leading nude art models in the world right now? Can you name even one? And if you can, can you also say if she earns her living from it or not? Do you even know if any of them do? Don't assume. You might be surprised. Body in Mind has worked with nude art models for more than 16 years. The sad truth is that even the best of them can rarely make a better living than they could as teachers, waitresses or hairdressers. One of the reasons for this is that so many people are willing to enjoy their photos without so much as a thought for the them. Many "fans" even claim to worship the ground the models walk on, yet will not cough up a dime to pay for any of their pics. In fact, since joining Twitter we have discovered hundreds of tweeters posting thousands of nude photos to millions of people all over the world looking for free nude photos. Most of these photos have been posted without permission and have had the model's name and/or credit purposely removed by some scoundrel, denying the model any way to make money from her photos. Denying credit is art theft, and retweeting uncredited photos is dealing in stolen goods. So we urge you, if you consider yourself a fan of nude models, start by treating them with at least the same respect as your waitress or hairdresser. Pay her for her services or at least give her credit. And refuse to retweet any uncredited photos. Otherwise you are robbing models of their livelihood, and ultimately yourself of your favourite models. Doesn't really make sense now does it? So let's all support the profession of nude modeling. Let's help the models make the money they deserve and achieve the fame they need to make the photos we love. Pin her up; don't cut her off. More...

Jеss Rоbіnsоn: superbeauty

It's been a while since we talked about superbeauty on BiM so we thought it was about time. Superbeauty is pretty much what it sounds like. It's female beauty that takes beauty to a new higher level. Superbeauty is like something from the Spоrts Illυstrаtеd swimsuit issue, except that the models are nude. Superbeauty also looks like something from Playboy, except with a completely non-sexual moral slant. Actually, superbeauty is more like Playboy and Spоrts Illυstrаtеd combined - sexy, bold, vivacious women, posing happily and confidently nude, in stunning surroundings with exceptional skill in an adoring, artful style. This has been the goal of Body in Mind since it began - the infusion of objective human values into images of nude women. Several years ago I wrote in an attempt to help bring superbeauty into popular culture "It's weird, but in a world with Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt catalogs and television commercials, bare breasts on prime time television and in public, where Playboy bunnies become models and supermodels pose nude, where porn stars become actresses and actresses make pornographic videos - indeed, in a culture so absolutely saturated with images of beautiful women - pictures that blend the female body with the most wholesome morality, pictures embodying the epitome of female beauty, are the only ones that don't exist." Even today images of women with absolutely no clothes, no shame and no overt sexuality seem to exist only on BiM. Our newest set of Jеss Rоbіnsоn is one of them. More...

Alece: candids & out-takes

Fans of BiM know we're all about natural beauty and that makes our candids and out-takes sets some of our most popular. It's a chance to catch our ladies in their most relaxed, comfortable and real moments, just being their effortlessly lovely selves, as Alece is in this set. If you doubt it we don't mind telling you Alece was a former fashion model living in Nеw Yоrk who contacted us and asked us to shoot with her. She'd been working on her body very hard and was proud and eager to show it off. Naturally we accepted. What resulted are many many wonderful sets of Alece expressing her pride in her body and her love of being beautiful. Top all that off with a country setting around a remodelled barn in Nеw Yоrk state where Alece enjoyed an eagerly awaited 2 day getaway from the city and you see a woman who is completely at ease with herself and the natural world around her. There are few things on earth more charming than a truly happy woman, and few things that make men fall in love quicker. We invite everyone to fall in love with Alece, as naturally and effortlessly as we did. More...

Mia: no more make-up?

No man wishes his girlfriend or wife would wear MORE make-up. The truth is women don't wear make-up for men. They do it to compete with other women. Conventional wisdom says men are the competitive sex. But the truth is women might be far more competitive than men. Even to the point of obsession. For example, can you imagine men being more interested in images of other men than in images of women? Yet women would rather look at other fully dressed women than naked men! Furthermore, the whole feminist movement, might it simply be about taking over the political and cultural reigns of civilisation? Since men already seem to be quite afraid of them, women taking over the world really means taking over control of other women. Perhaps this is why beauty-hating feminists are so determined to eliminate images of sexy women from our culture. And why they want to so badly that they are even willing to condemn anti-cancer campaigns that employ sexy spokesmodels or no-make-up selfies by beautiful women. And why they're not concerned with magazines that viciously attack female celebrities for being too thin or too fat. And why they consistently paint other women as victims when they're not. And why their solution is to force equal numbers of women into government when women themselves don't want to run. (Guess who'll get those positions?) The bottom line is, hundreds of years ago men used to paint their faces, wear wigs, tights & pointy shoes. Thank goodness we no longer expect each other to do so. We can only hope women will become less estranged from their natural sexuality too, will start looking at men more than women, and will lighten up. Make-up is really pretty silly, on men, or women. And so it trying to stick your pointy shoe up the world's ass. More...

Lіz Ashlеy: why do we need female beauty?

When asked why we need art, famed art historian Sіstеr Wеndy replied "Art makes us more human." Considering her own love of art transformed her from a cloistered nun to an internationally renowned broadcaster, openly discussing the erotic energy of a nude paintings is proof of that. Can the same thing be said of human beauty? If the beauty of art can make us more human, cannot the physical beauty of the human nude do so as well? Couldn't this be the reason our culture is obsessed with images of beautiful women? Cynics say "sex sells". But is this really the full explanation? No. Images of beautiful women date back to pre-history, and aesthetics, the science that studies the role of beauty in our lives has been a part of every serious philosophy since the ancient Greeks invented it. Thе BіM aesthetics for example says our values, the things we want in life, the things we want to be and the things we want to have, create the experience of beauty in our brains for the purpose of motivating us towards them. Animals have instinctual values - they know what is good & bad for them automatically. We humans do not. We have to choose what is good or bad for us. Instinct cannot help us, but beauty can. Beauty is a sort of glow around the things we love, around our values, that makes our actions & purpose in life more clear. This is how art makes us more human. And it's how female beauty does too. Beauty inspires good people to admire it and to be better. Unfortunately it also inspires bad people to be worse, to hate beauty and attack values. There is perhaps no more depraved question a person can ask than "Why do we need beauty?" Art, human beauty, aesthetics are all fundamental parts of what it means to be human. To dismiss artistic images of human beauty as merely sex inducement is to completely miss the value and beauty of female beauty itself, and is to miss out on being fully human. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: our hero

Several cancer awareness campaigns in the UK using sexy models have come under fire from feminists lately, in spite of the campaigns being wildly successful. In fact even our own Rhian received thanks from a man for saving his life. Yаy Rhіаn!!! Yet many have called the campaigns insensitive & exploitative and have condemned them for associating sex with cancer. Sorry, but when people let their resentment of sexy women get in the way of common sense we have to speak up. Asking sexy women to stop promoting charities is so outrageously mean spirited that we almost choke in anger and disbelief. Of course cancer patients and survivors deserve consideration for their feelings, commiseration for their suffering, as well as admiration and praise for their courage. However being a cancer patient - or professing concern for one - does not mean you get to insult others with impunity. It doesn't mean you get to stop attempts to prevent cancer because you don't like the spokesperson. And it certainly doesn't mean you get to increase the risk others will get cancer just because you did. No one in society gets to use their own personal problems or suffering to inflict suffering on others. That is the OPPOSITE of charity. In the last few years sexy women have shown an amazing ability to raise awareness and money for charity, and their ability to raise so much to fight cancer is a reason to admire them even more, not less.

Kеlly Hаll: a public romance with Page 3

Should porn be in a daily newspaper? This is the question asked by detractors of the photos of topless models on Page 3 of Thе Sυn newspaper in the U.K. Regardless of their differences, Page 3 glamour photos serve the same function for men as romance novels do for women. The most obvious difference is that topless men appear on the covers of romance novels, while topless women are hidden on Page 3 of the paper. Society has taught us that the only purpose of the female body is sex and that sex is something to be ashamed of, so topless models on the front page wouldn't fly. Another difference is that Page 3 contains nudity to titillate men while romance novels often contain very explicit sex scenes to titillate women. Women's sexuality has to be hidden, again this time in the pages of a book. But the main difference is that romance novels are words and Page 3 is photos. Both serve the function of beauty, art, and romance but Page 3 is a man's type and romance novels are a woman's. Modern science has shown us that men's and women's brains develop differently. Men's brains are spatially/real world oriented and women's language/emotion oriented. So men prefer images of happy, sexy women in romantic locations and women prefer stories about strong, sexy men in romantic relationships with women. According to the book Whаt Dо Wоmеn Wаnt women may actually be more sexual than men, which explains why romance novels are the best selling type of book, by far. So perhaps women can be forgiven for thinking men are as easily excited by Page 3. But men know better. We know it's just an image, albeit a very pretty one, just as women know the hero in a romance is just a story. Perhaps in an ideal world all men would be heroes and women would be more sexual and we wouldn't need romance novels or Page 3. But until that world arrives, let's be glad we have both. And let's change the question from should "porn" be in a newspaper, to should men's idea of romance be allowed in public like women's is? More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: Kаt Mаndυ

Rеmеmbеr Shаrоn Stone in Thе Qυіck and the Dead? Of course you do. The sexiest gunfighter ever. I particularly remember the reviews for that movie. They were especially critical of Sharon's performance in spite of the fact that she's sexy as hell in it and it's still completely watchable today nearly 20 years later. But I wasn't surprised by the critics attacks. I've seen sexy women attacked all my life, always, apparently, for no reason. For example, I can't remember the title but as a child I saw a black & white movie that climaxed in a quickdraw gunfight between the good guy and the bad. Knowing he would lose the bad guy shot and killed the good guy's wife instead of shooting at the good guy, knowing full well the good guy would shoot and kill him. I was horrified, but have since come to see this kind of desperate hatred of beautiful women almost daily in various schoolyard shootings, gang r4pеs, stonings, public floggings and glamour attacks that make the news. I've come to realize all people who turn on sexy women for no apparent reason are the bad guys, as were the critics who trashed Shаrоn Stоnе. It's one of the reasons we invented Kаt Mаndυ. We figured after 20 years it's high time for a sexy gunfighter to kick some more evil villain butt. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: 2 sexual myths

Women don't like sex. Men want to keep women down. These are the two most common modern sexual prejudices. They are also 2 of the oldest. They come from a time before birth control and before paternity tests. Back then women were naturally very hesitant to have sex outside of marriage. There were no welfare programs to help pay for their children's care. So if a woman was unwise or unlucky enough to have sex & get pregnant she was pretty much on her own and the child's chances of survival were terrible. A man's problems were different. Capitalism was still a thing of the future, so making a living was rarely an option. His survival depended on the strength & integrity of his family and on receiving, inheriting and protecting his father's favor, title, property, or income. Thus paternity was everything. A family's survival depended on knowing your sons were really yours. So men saw it as a bad thing for women to be freely associating with men other than her husband & direct family. Working out of the home, getting an education, being single, were all frowned upon and discouraged in women, by men. Happily times have changed. Birth control & the freedom to work allows women to have as much sex as they like with whomever they choose. Paternity tests & capitalism free men from wanting to keep women in their place for the sake of their families. There is no longer any basis for thinking women don't like sex or in keeping women down, and these prejudices are disappearing. If you doubt it you should join us on Twitter. If you do you'll discover 2 wonderful things: women who love sex, and men who respect women. More...

Petula: jeepers, creepers, peepers

There have always been peeping Toms in the world who sneak peeks at naked women, but the internet has allowed us to see just how many such peepers there are in the world. Peepers are those people who selfishly enjoy a photo or video of a nude woman without once asking who she is or where the photo came from. To them it just doesn't matter. They don't care what her name is, who made the photo, or how it came to be on their computer screen. They make no attempt to know her, compliment her, or pay her. They take an eyeful without her knowledge, simply because they can. They don't care if the photo was stolen, published without permission or shared illegally. They don't care if the model makes so little money due to file sharing that she has to quit and do something else. And most worrying of all is that they don't care if the model gave her permission for them to see her naked. Such people invariably claim to be admirers of beautiful women, and that they didn't mean to take advantage. Well, that's what peeping Toms say too. The correct way to treat nude art models is the same way you'd treat any lady, with respect, admiration, and credit/payment when due. So if you see a photo without original credit, don't pass it on. It was stolen. And posting it makes you an accessory. Besides, you have a perfectly good name. Why change it to "Tom"? ;-) More...

Cat: the true power of women

Ask a young person today to name an independent powerful woman and 9 times out of 10 they will say Beyonce, not that feminist what's-her-name. In fact, there have been many popular, brave, sexy, powerful women from the 1970s to now, from TV's Wоndеr Wоmаn to Cher to Madonna to Cіndy Crаwfоrd to Angеlіnа Jоlіе to FEMEN to Mіlеy Cyrυs. Yet modern intellectual feminists love to take credit for all the freedom women enjoy today. Sіncе Glоrіа Steinem in the 1960s feminists have fought against the glamour industry and over the last 50 years women have gotten more free in general. But average women have also gotten more sexual & more free to be so. And the glamour industry has grown 10-fold. So one has to wonder, if feminism has failed so badly to destroy glamour, how could they have been the ones responsible for the average woman's new found freedoms? Could feminists really be such failures in one area but so brilliant in another? Feminists tell us sexual abuse of women has also risen dramatically but this begs the question of who has been spreading the idea all this time that sexual women should be kept down? Feminists have. After reason, female beauty is women's greatest power, and since the female intellect has been almost universally dedicated to attacking beauty for the last 50 years (from Glоrіа Stеіnеm to Nаоmі Wоlfе to NoMorePage3), one can only conclude that the thing that has been moving women forward during that time is female beauty, not feminism, and that the thing that has been making things worse for women, is feminism, not glamour. Feminists will tell you female beauty is responsible. But reason - and 20 seconds of thought - says it isn't. More...

Karmen: I am an animal too

In a few days the Canadian government will begin turning the snow red with the blood of hundreds of thousands of baby seals. They call it a "harvest" as if bashing seal pups on the head, impaling them with hooks, and skinning them is the same as reaping corn. Why do they do this every single year even though there is next to no market for seal meat or skins? The usual reason politicians do anything: votes. Every year the Canadian government spends thousands of dollars - millions in total - supporting a make-work project for "unemployed" fishermen in order to win their votes instead of spending the money to transition them into real jobs. And every year mother seals, having spent 3 months protecting and nursing their pups with the tenderest of care, are forced to watch in horror as their darling babies are heartlessly butchered right in front of them. Saving the baby seals is a cause very dear to our hearts at Body in Mind because we are Canadian, and because we hate cruelty and the kind of stupidity that creates so much pointless suffering. We hope all our fans, viewers, readers and supporters will donate whatever they can afford to the Canadian animal welfare organisation, IFAW.ORG, the world's leader in monitoring and fighting to end the seal hunt forever. There is absolutely no reason for these adorable & helpless creatures to die such horrible deaths, no need for this mindless atrocity to go on year after year. Please help today to put an end to Canada's red snow once and for all. Thank you so much!- D & L Bell (March 9, 2014) - DONATE HERE! More...

Mia: Glamour rocks

It's becoming clear to us that what modern feminists mean by "media sexism" is glamour images. It's important to remember that sexuality has always been the greatest mover of mankind and motivator of social progress. Art, capitalism, photography, movies, the internet, racial diversity/integration, gay rights - all were and continue to be propelled forward by our sexuality. Yet each of these areas has suffered vicious, puritanical attempts to remove the very sexuality from them that gave them life. And it seems the glamour industry will be the next to suffer this fate. But at what cost? In recent decades Canada and Sweden have both outlawed glamour images in the media to a great extent. And the result? Canada is systematically destroying its wildlife and medical system. And Swеdеn is currently imploding in an often terroristic battle between multiculturalism and women's rights. Are they connected? Can the removal of glamour images in a culture really cause such dramatic, wide sweeping disasters? Why not? If sex is what moves us forward, then certainly limiting it will move us backwards.

Sаmmy Brаddy: pushing female beauty

Female beauty is real. And like anything real, if you push it it will push back. Attack it and it will bite you on the ass.

The glam-bashing U.K. group known as Nо Mоrе Page 3 were taught that lesson a few days ago. Nо Mоrе Page 3 denounce Thе Sυn in England for publishing topless but still innocent, non-sexual pictures of confident, charity-supporting, pretty women on Page 3 of its daily newspaper, claiming the photos corrupt children, inspire/facilitate abuse, and demean women. Defenders of Page 3 repeatedly point out there are much more sexual and/or demeaning photos in popular culture/media readily available to children. Pop singer Mіlеy Cyrυs is often mentioned, both for her somewhat pornographic performing style and the effect it could have on her millions of adolescent fans. Miley does not perform nude, at least not yet, but does strike shockingly sexual poses in her act and on television.

To the great delight of Nо Mоrе Page 3, Rυpеrt Mυrdоch, owner of Thе Sυn, suggested perhaps the Page 3 girl could be replaced with "glamorous fashionistas" but until a few days ago Thе Sυn did nothing. Then on February 12, 2014, on their famous Page 3, instead of one of their usual models Thе Sυn published a beautiful, glamourous photo of fashion trend-setting pop icon Mіlеy Cyrυs.

Oddly, there was not a peep from Nо Mоrе Page 3. Perhaps because Miley was half naked in the photo and, quite ironically, topless.

What glam-bashers like Nо Mоrе Page 3 don't seem to get is that people love female beauty and will not give it up. And any attempts to shame people into giving it up or to make them think their love of female beauty is somehow immoral, will only make them more accepting of immorality in popular photos and will only make sexual imagery more popular. It happened in the 1990s, made a house-hold name for Jеnnа Jаmеsоn and created the sex tape shortcut to fame for the likes of Pаmеlа Andеrsоn and current mass media favourite Kіm Kаrdаshіаn.

Obviously there is nothing immoral or demeaning about any woman posing topless or being sexual but we do all have to decide if it's the human body or sexual imagery we don't want our kids to see. In a free society there is no other choice.

The moral of the story for Nо Mоrе Page 3? Stop denouncing harmless glamour images, specifically Page 3. And for everyone else? Don't attack female beauty in any form. Attack it and it will bite you - and perhaps even your kids - on the ass. More...

Petula: the problem with lookism

Lookism, not sexism, is the biggest problem facing women today.

Real sexism - keeping women down simply because they are women - ended in countries like England and America about a century ago when women were freed to live on the same terms as men. Since then women have shown their true colours and have earned equality on almost every level. Yet today many politically ambitious feminists re-task sexism to mean images of sexy women in the media and blame it for all our current problems. They tell us that failure to live up to media standards of beauty causes crippling self-esteem issues in girls that lead to lower ambition and even self-abuse in women. They also claim media "sexism" gives boys unrealistic expectations about what real women should look like which later leads to men harassing, abusing and assaulting women.

In reality it's not sexism but lookism that causes these things. Young girls all expect to be beautiful princesses when they're older so the attacks on their self-esteem come much sooner and from a source much closer to them than the media. I'm talking about young girls whose parents and loved ones criticise them for not being beautiful enough or who praise them too much for simply being beautiful. Most girls experience years of this brainwashing from family and friends before they are old enough to have self-esteem issues, long before they know if they'll be a great beauty or not, which means long before they begin to compare themselves to models and movie stars in the media.

Does the fact that little girls are routinely judged by and treated differently according to their looks mean beauty is bad? Absolutely not! Female beauty is one of the glories of mankind, it creates children, inspires romance in men, and empowers women economically, socially, politically. Fighting lookism is not about fighting beauty. It's about recognizing that beauty is an image only, a wonderful image that represents but does not replace real human values. Beauty reminds us of all the things we hope to find in a real person one day. As children we instinctively assume beautiful people possess more admirable qualities of character and greater intellectual and physical abilities than uglier people. As adults we learn this isn't true. Yet due to the lure and power of beauty we tend to ignore the people who do possess admirable qualities. This is lookism.

Lookism, not sexism, warps young boys too. Most parents completely fail to teach their sons the real purpose of female beauty which is to inspire them to be the best they can be, to make art, to excel at sports, etc. not to make them ignore real women in favor of scoring a supermodel one day. Both boys and girls need to be taught that personal character and values are what makes a person attractive in a lasting way to the opposite sex.

Physical beauty has great power and a grand purpose in the scheme of things. But because of it we often miss many golden opportunities for deeply meaningful relationships. Fighting lookism is really about freeing the only thing in human life grander and more powerful than beauty. Fighting lookism is about love. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: Page 3 - the definition of glamour

Glamour means beauty for its own sake. Glamour photography of women such as the Spоrts Illυstrаtеd Swіmsυіt Edіtіоn or Page 3 of the Sun in England, is not meant to sell anything but itself, to sell female beauty. Think about it: the SI and Page 3 photos are not advertisements depicting a beautiful girl reading that magazine or paper or any other product, they are photos that include only what makes the girl look beautiful, a nice sunset or location, bright patterns or colours, or an interesting pose. Yes the photos sell the magazine or paper they are in but the magazine or paper are not in the photos. That is the difference between a glamour photo and a glamourous advertisement. We buy a product in an ad because the beautiful girl makes us think it will make our life better. But we buy a glamour photo because it will. For example as lovely & glamourous as Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt ads & catalog photos are there can be no doubt the photos are created for the lingerie's sake, not for beauty's sake alone. And it's interesting that the SI Swіmsυіt Edіtіоn photos often identify the swimsuits worn as some kind of throwback to a catalog format, although we doubt anyone but the swimsuit manufacturers ever notice it. SI does this because the world has been pretty hard on glamour photos. So much so that it seems the pretty topless photos on Page 3 are possibly the only true glamour photos still being published for wide circulation in the world today. Page 3 is definitely beauty for beauty's sake. And yes, it sells. And yes, it's attacked. We just hope for beauty's sake it survives. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: sex object?

Why is it okay for a woman to be the object of affection but not okay to be a sex object? It's okay to love women, but not to want sex with them? We hear feminists these days constantly accusing men and the media of treating women like sex objects, never admitting men might actually feel affection, admiration or even romance for women they are turned on by. Such feminists actually reduce men to sex objects - they can't imagine men seeing sexy women in any way other than sexual. In reality though, judging from the world around us and the number of marriages and romances out there, most men see sex as something that is shared with an interested, consenting, sexy partner. A man with a healthy libido and a healthy view of women and himself sees sex as not just intercourse, but mutual respect, romance and love, perhaps even marriage and kids. Yes some men think sex is just copulation and that women are there just for them - and a tiny subset of these men think a woman's interest and consent are not necessary. There are laws to protect women from such men. So don't listen to sexist feminists who objectify men by claiming men objectify women. The affection men have for sexy women is real. And there's every reason for women to have the same affection back. More...

Kеlly Hаll & Rhіаn Sυgdеn: touch of glamour

Female beauty is a powerful force. Kеlly Hаll and Rhіаn Sυgdеn have helped prove it. They, along with all of the other Page 3 models in Britain, have carried the Sun for 43 years. They are the real cause of the newspaper's success. They are its heroes. Kelly and Rhian and the Page 3 models have shown just how much good female beauty can do. Both ladies devote much of their time to promoting charities, raising money for war heroes and testicular cancer.

The phenomenon of beautiful women using the beauty of their bodies to do good things is a brand new one. We've never seen anything like it before. Women's sports teams do nude calendars to raise money for their causes. FEMEN uses their bare breasts to draw attention to women's rights. Women around the world are baring their bodies in political protest. And it's working. There can be no doubt about it. Female beauty is doing good things.

The anti-beauty crowd, however, will tell you that praising the power of female beauty is simply another male ploy to keep women in their place as sex objects. For example, Page 3's detractors openly declare the topless models are there to sell the paper. Contradictorily, instead of seeing the models as the driving force of the paper, protesters see them as helpless sex objects. Naturally, the rest of us see them as people, women, individuals, idols even.

Clearly, the view that beautiful, sexy women are sex objects is the problem, not female beauty. Female beauty is NOT a "problem". And neither is men's love of it. Female beauty exists to help perpetuate the human race, not only by inspiring reproduction, but by inspiring morality. All of the crucial problems in the world today are caused by a marked lack of morality in people - race wars, the environment, wildlife decimation, cruelty to animals, violence against women, terrorism. How has mankind lost its moral compass? We at BiM think it's because nature intended female beauty to be that moral compass, and instead of following it we as a species completely distrust it.

Consider that no woman is permitted to declare her own beauty without incurring a wrath of moral condemnation, mockery and scorn. Ironically, the only women who are allowed to say it are the ones who are noticeably NOT beautiful. Such women present no threat of inspiring anyone with their "beauty" so they are permitted to boast all they like.

Real female beauty has NEVER been permitted to be seen as moral force in our society, let alone tested as one. The truth is we don't know what a society that values female beauty would look like. We DO know that so far we've all benefitted greatly from just a touch of glamour. Imagine the good that might come from letting female beauty freely work its magic on our society, and on the world, in a big way.

Let's. More...

Karmen: sex object?

We hear a lot of feminists lately accusing the media of objectifying women. But what do they actually mean by "sex object". Feminist media critic Cаrоlіnе Hеldmаn says women are sexually objectified whenever they are depicted as interchangeable members of a group, as a body used as a canvas for a logo or message, or as objects for consumption by men. As examples she shows photos of a group of bikini supermodels, of a woman's sensually curved body with a logo painted on her, and a men's shoe ad featuring a vending machine full of gorgeous glamour girls. Such images treat women as objects Heldman says. But surely you've spotted what else such images have in common? That's right. The models are all beautiful. The supermodels are "interchangeable" only because they are all equally gorgeous. The woman's body that is used for a "canvas" can only be used for a "canvas" because it's a body that's worth looking at in the first place, in other words, she's beautiful. And as for the ladies in the vending machine, they first have to be desirable before men will want to "buy" them, that's right, they have to be beautiful. Obviously there are no such vending machines in real life, however, bachelor auctions are quite real. So to feminists it seems "objectified" means beautiful, "sexist" means sexy, and "sex object" means sexy and beautiful. Remember this the next time you hear them. They are used only to attack beautiful women, like Karmen. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: born this way

Female beauty is a talent. It's a talent like any other. Just like athletic ability, intelligence, or a musical gift, beauty is inborn. And like any talent it can be developed or not. Most models spend long hours practicing and perfecting it. But even if they don't they are still far better looking than most of us. Many people hate beauty, either out of resentment of others' superior beauty or out of learned shame of their own. Oddly, such people most often declare female beauty not to be a talent for the very reason that it is: "because people are born with it and don't have to do anything to get it", they say. Yеt Dіctіоnаry.com defines "talent" as "a special natural ability or aptitude". In other words, not having to do anything to get it is precisely what makes something a talent! Another reason given for why beauty is not a talent is "Models just stand there, and that doesn't take talent." Dictionary.com also says "talent" is "a capacity for achievement or success". A model's "capacity for success" IS her ability to look good standing, or sitting, or lying down. It's called "posing". Athletic ability isn't mocked just because athletes run & jump. Musical ability isn't ridiculed if musicians sit or stand. Female beauty however is mocked, ridiculed, and belittled precisely because it's so powerful, and like a moocher guilting the wealthy into abandoning their wealth, so beauty-haters try to shame beautiful women onto the sidelines of life. Personally, we enjoyed this set of Laura, a natural born model, way more than today's sports highlights played to our favourite pop tune. Now THAT'S talent! More...

Zoey: the beauty industry

Many people badmouth the beauty & glamour industry, calling it "sexist" and saying we need more images in the media of "real" women. This is odd because if the people who propone the average woman want to be average, there is nothing stopping them. If they find the media's standards impossible to attain or sexist they can always base their standards on the thousands of real women they see every day instead. They have far more examples to choose from in real life than there ever is in the media. However, the rest of us need beauty and ideals. We always need something to shoot for in life. Values to pursue. Standards to attain. Examples to admire. Beauty has the natural ability to attract us and point us towards these things. We need images of beautiful people, places, and things all around us all the time in order to inspire us to move, learn, and grow, and to stay on a positive course. Those who crusade against beauty and values in art or advertising, who say art should imitate life and cry equal time for real women are actually rebelling against anything above average in real life too. Ignore them. We see the average all around us all the time. There is no reason to see it in the media. The beauty industry is equal time for the exceptional. And the exceptional is far more important to we humans than the average. More...

Mia: freedom

The moment any country establishes free speech, haters become free to express themselves, free to attack free speech itself if they like. Freedom means people must be allowed to peacefully advocate the destruction of freedom. Pretty silly, but it's logically necessary in order to preserve the right to speak and act for everyone. You can't shut idiots up without silencing others, so we allow free speech. The same is true of women's sexual rights. When a country reaches the point where women can express and enjoy their freedom to be sexual, haters are freed to advocate limiting it. This is the case in Britain right now. Nowhere on earth have women ever been freer to be openly sexual, to enjoy it and even profit from it. British women can choose their romantic partners, dress as they like, model naked, wear burka, seek recourse for sexual grievances, breastfeed in public, etc. Yet many women are now demanding the removal of Page 3 and lads mags from public view, claiming they should be "free to not see Page 3 in public", "free to not be leered at", etc. In other words, they want the right to not be free. Freedom means everyone is free to do all kinds of things we like or don't like. That's just life. In fact, the one thing freedom can't cure, is freedom. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: something about beauty

Many years ago as a young man I set out to become an artist. I was not a fan of any known art style or established master, and I had NO idea what I was doing. I was, however, a fan of female beauty so I proceeded to make pictures of beautiful women, hoping to eventually create something I could call "art". After creating an image of a beautiful woman I would look at it for hours, in contemplation, hoping it would inspire me to make more, hoping to learn something, looking for a mystery to explore further, trying to be an "artist". I concluded that any drawing that would inspire me to look at it for hours had to be art, and I congratulated myself at having become an artist. Unfortunately, I still didn't know exactly HOW I'd done it. After many more drawings I was still wondering why the ladies I'd drawn were so beautiful to me. Was it their blonde hair? Their elegant bodies? Their bare breasts? Their lovely skin? The ladies didn't answer. Then one day, as my mind wandered over this drawing I asked myself why I'd included the rock in it. "Because I like rocks," I said. And why is the woman striking a diving pose? "I guess because I like that too." BOOM! It was precisely THEN, in that exact moment, that it hit me: I didn't draw beautiful women because they were beautiful; I found them beautiful because I'd put them into poses I liked! I had drawn something simply because I liked it and BOOM! I found it beautiful. I realized that day that it's not some mysterious force that does it but our personal values that make something beautiful to us, that beauty is always the result of depicting our values (the things we like) - that it IS the depiction of values - and while we may FEEL beauty is inspiring us, it's really our values doing it. This is very important because it means beauty - including female beauty - is the direct result of values. It means female beauty is a moral concept, and inextricably connected to what we consider good. It means people who hate beauty hate values per se, and those who defend female beauty are defending morality. Heady stuff. And to this day I can't look at this picture without thinking the rock taught me all this, and that that is why the girl is standing in front of it poised and ready. She is me, isn't she? And she is about to learn something important about beauty. Kinda freaky isn't it? More...

The 'sexualization' of 'objectification'

There will always be people who love female beauty and people who hate it. This isn't news. What's new, in the UK at least, is beauty haters trying to put glamour models and publishers out of work by accusing glamour photos of causing the "objectification" and "sexualization" of women. These two words are bandied about as if their meaning is so clear and their truth so obvious that no actual proof is needed. But in reality, they are vague and ultimately meaningless terms used only because they sound just ominous enough and scientific enough that most people would rather accept them as truth than try to fight the malice behind them. We at BiM do question them. We don't see our model Lauren as an object at all. She's a beautiful woman, an intelligent human being, a capable adult. In fact, she's more than capable, she's a medical doctor. Try telling her she's 'sexualized' or 'objectified' and see how far you get. We do find her sexy, but that only proves sexy women can be intelligent and professional as well. Each age and culture has its pet excuse for hurting beautiful women, a con that haters can use to justify attacks, the tipping point where a majority of people will agree to go along with them. Hopefully "objectification and sexualization" is not ours. More...

Damianne: no hiding

Since 1997, Body in Mind has created super beautiful images of women by adding the glow of morality and the mind to the female nude. The resulting nude photos are more powerful than porn and more uplifting than art. We call them super nudes. Our idea of mixing nudity and moral values - nudes with a wholesome twist - is everywhere now. Tоdаy BіM is simply the most tasteful, thoughtful and influential nude website online. Take our latest set of Damianne for example. The colourful veils are not used to hide her lovely body but rather to allow it expression and pose. Her expressions are not stereotypical pouts or O-faces, and her poses are not pointlessly vulgar. Instead her true feelings of fun and sexual confidence are allowed to come through without pretence, without shame, without hiding. She is not photoshopped and her happiness is real. We don't create beauty at BiM, we simply allow it to shine. More...

A rose by any other name...might not be a rose at all

Have you ever called a woman 'beautiful', 'attractive', 'hot', 'sexy', 'pretty', 'lovely' or 'good-looking'? Have you ever thought about why you would use one word over another when describing her? We usually toss these words around as if they're interchangeable, but if you really want to understand the role of beauty in your life it's important to start with a few key definitions.

'Pretty' and 'good-looking' refer only to a person's physical appearance. This is an important distinction to make, because people can be 'good-looking' without having any other good quality to speak of. It says nothing about their character. It also says nothing about how hot they are, or your sexual attraction to them. You can say that your six year old niece is 'pretty', or admit that a certain male movie star is 'good-looking' without feeling any attraction to them.

'Attractive' and 'hot' refer only to our personal feelings about a person. If someone has certain physical qualities that we like we call them hot, and if they seem to have certain personal qualities we like we call them attractive. But neither attractiveness nor hotness requires us to find someone beautiful or sexy, nor do they require us to find them pretty or particularly good-looking. We can easily be attracted to a plain woman who is kind or be turned off by a hottie who isn't.

'Beautiful' refers to our own personal values that we see in a person. When you call someone beautiful it's because their appearance reminds you of qualities that you admire in a person, whether they actually possess those virtues or not. A tall man might exude maturity or a long-legged lady might appear graceful even though either may be neither.

'Sexy' refers to a person who exhibits real sexuality. She may not be having sex with you, but you KNOW she's having sex with SOMEONE. A sexy woman isn't necessarily the 'hottest' one around, as any man who has a sexy wife or girlfriend may reluctantly affirm - she may never be a Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt model, but she certainly rocks your world. And to you, she is the sexiest woman alive.

'Lovely', ah lovely. With 'love' at its root 'lovely' is the culmination of everything. It is the soul and spirit, together, it is the very real character behind the looks, it is a woman's sexiness mixed with her morality, her character and her characteristics. It is the highest accolade, the pinnacle of body and mind. There's probably nothing more endearing, more alluring, more heart-melting, more sexy, and more 'lovely' than the smile of the woman you love, and when you look at her, you see her as 'beautiful' whether she is classically 'pretty' or not.

Today all these words are used interchangeably and we've lost much of our ability to know the huge difference between 'pretty' and 'lovely'. The difference is: real values, real love, real life and real sex. So think about these definitions the next time you find yourself drawn to a woman. Are you responding to her appearance only? Does she merely LOOK like she's the one for you, or IS she the one for you? More...

The NO MORE WOMEN AT WORK Campaign (satire)

Inspired by the NoMorePage3 campaign to remove topless models from the SUN newspaper we hereby launch the brand new Nо Mоrе Women at Wоrk Cаmpаіgn. Women have been working pretty much anywhere they want since the 1970s. Back then it had its purpose maybe, but we feel it's now become a bit of a dinosaur, out-dated, and pretty much an embarrassment to us as a nation. For example, many of the most politically active countries in the Unіtеd Nаtіоns, such as Iran and Afghanistan, are taking great strides in keeping women from work, so why are WE still seeing women wearing business suits or performing surgery when we turn on the telly? For that matter why are girls still attending school in Britain? Have we become a nation who grooms its CHILDREN for work? Thus we ask our noble British employers to get with the times and to voluntarily stop employing women. We say voluntarily because we don't feel an outright ban or laws against it are called for at this time, since we're hoping we'll all just be very grown up about it really. And while we're all thinking about it let's consider that perhaps not allowing women to work does not go far enough since working women tend to go to and from work in PUBLIC, often hanging around cafes and public transport where our children catch unwanted glimpses of them daily. And perhaps not surprisingly these days some working women even work AT HOME! Honestly, can someone please explain to us how WORK belongs at HOME? So while we don't ask for an outright ban against women at work we do encourage neighbourhoods to pass their own democratic bans and we suggest there's always housework if families have women who really want to work. And for the skeptics out there (there's always a few) we refer you to our online FAQ where we provide ample scientific evidence that almost ALL workplace harassment takes place at work! Study after study proves it. We've also created a website dedicated to hundreds of heart-breaking personal stories written by women and girls themselves sharing the shocking details of their own experiences with sexual harassment at work. Clearly all the proof any thinking person needs to see how work causes objectification, sexism, harassment, abuse, violence, low self-esteem as well as a break-down of family and social values. We DO want everyone to understand that we are not against women themselves - we LOVE women! - and no part of our campaign is directed at them. Nor are we against women working per se. We just believe it's something that belongs in private. After all, as the saying goes "a woman's place is in the home", not "a woman's place is at WORK". Therefore we remain steadfastly against a system that encourages people to see women as work-objects. And to our opponents we say "WOMEN ARE NOT SLAVES!" We hope you'll lend your support to this important feminist cause. After all, we did ask ever so nicely. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: naked is no big deal

We came across this set of photos the other day, a set we had almost forgotten about it. It was taken during our lunch break when we shot Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn, who gamely agreed to let us document the adventure and go around topless while doing it. It was a lot of fun to try to get photos inside the restaurant without attracting the attention of the very conservative owners, and the looks of the faces of the passersby behind us were utterly priceless. I think we made those guys' whole year. But it was also very telling in many other ways. We were outside for perhaps fifteen minutes total, Hayley-Marie was clothed except for her open jacket, and yet, as she and Leanne took photos by a crosswalk, a woman in a mini-van rolled down her window and shouted 'That's not appropriate, ladies. I'm calling the police.' This is perhaps a perfect microcosmic example of what it's like to be a beautiful woman in today's world. You have to sneak, you make a few people very, very happy, and you get women trying to sick the authorities on you. All because your breasts are showing. One day the world won't turn on whether a woman is wearing her shirt or not. Until then we've got Hayley-Marie, brave enough to ignore all the problems associated with merely going topless for fifteen minutes on a rainy day. We thought you'd enjoy this little glimpse of the world is really like for topless women. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: remember the value of beautiful women

We were upset last night reading an abusive tweet someone sent to one of our favourite models. We were even more upset when someone defended a man's "right" to do it on the grounds that models put themselves "out there" for either compliments or criticism, in this case "compliments" meaning inappropriate sexual invitations and "criticism" meaning hateful sexual insults. The unspoken implication is that if a woman takes off her clothes she deserves anything she gets. Sorry but this is the r4pіst's and glam-basher's mentality, "please me sexually or I'll abuse you" or "use your beauty how I like or I'll have you censored or put out of a job". This attitude has been around for a looooong time - as long as women have been attacked and abused - so every once in while we like to remind everyone if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. And we like to draw attention to our credo at BiM which reminds us why this is particularly important to remember when it come to beautiful women. Here then is our credo, written 16 years ago by BiM founder, D.Bell.

My Crеdо

Down through history female beauty has been seen as superficial and sleazy,
with inner workings that are suspicious and sinister in nature.
Beautiful women have paid the price for this view.
They have been ridiculed and butchered,
both by individual madmen
and by entire civilizations.

I have a different idea.

I believe that female beauty is, in fact, a grand and glorious thing
to which every one of us owes our lives,
and that beautiful women are often, but not always,
among God's sweetest and noblest creatures,
inspiring love, not violence, morality, not depravity,
braving derision and sometimes even outright violence
in order to share with us a simple, but priceless gift:
their beauty.

- D.Bell

Can admiration be hateful and harmful? History says no.

Artists have been inspired by women's bodies for millennia. Whenever archaeologists dig up some primitive culture's treasure trove they usually find a large-breasted statue in amongst the lot. Men - whether modern or ancient, whether from Polynesia or Peking, California or Chelmsford - worship women's bodies. Interestingly, from Ancіеnt Egypt through 17th century France to modern day England there's every indication that freedom to depict women's bodies in art coincides with increased levels of freedom for women in general. For instance, has anyone ever noticed that Page 3 was in its heyday when Mаrgаrеt Thаtchеr was the first and so far only female Prіmе Mіnіstеr, one of only a handful of female world leaders? That she successfully threw off the old traditions and ably led her nation, giving girls of that generation the sense that they, too, could become leaders? This fact challenges the idea that women can't be viewed as objects of desire and respected as intellectual equals at the same time - the men of the U.K. certainly saw them as both, and no doubt still do. Maybe then its worth asserting that admiring the female form has never had anything to do with men disrespecting women, as modern glam-bashers claim, but instead has always been an important part of admiring women in general.

Zoey: workin' it

Modeling is hard work.

A lot of critics will insist otherwise, and dismiss the efforts of models as nothing more than standing there naked. But the truth is that it takes a lot more than simply looking good naked to make a living as a model. Aside from the daily physical efforts most models put into keeping their bodies fit and beautiful, when they do show up to the studio, it is hardly a relaxing day of lolling around on beds and drinking wine, as most people assume. Most photo shoots last all day, during which the model is required to come up with a variety of poses, or pose in ways the photographer directs, contorting her body sometimes into positions that are unfamiliar and uncomfortable. Our models often joke that after a day with us they don't need to do Pilates that week. And besides the physical discomfort, when all is said and done and the camera is finally snapping away, the model then has the added pressure of bringing something extra to it, of finding her inner diva, of turning it on and making the photos stand out. She has to become an actress more than a model, and find ways of making the photo engaging, sexy, fun or whatever is needed that day. She can't just strike a pose and stare at the camera, she has to somehow convey sexiness, or sweetness, or laughter, or a hundred other things, often just with her eyes or the tilt of her head, or make her body form curves that set this photo of her apart from the literally billions of other photos out there.

Modeling is hard work. It's only easy on the eyes. More...

Mia: photoshopped or not?

We have heard a lot of complaints lately about magazine covers with famous female models and movie stars photoshopped to look thinner or otherwise more attractive. Flattery is actually something artists have done in portraits of famous women since Ancіеnt Egypt. So the important difference between the Mоnа Lіsа and the cover of GQ is not that Leonardo da Vinci didn't have Photoshop, it's that no woman back then would have publicly embarrassed herself by whining about superior beauty. But today whining is practically a religion - the answer to every problem it seems. So even though the thousands of average-looking women we meet in real life prove beauty is as rare as gold, we're supposed to believe a few photoshopped magazine covers really do make women feel bad AND that these women aren't just resentful of a beauty greater than their own? No. Sorry. If we told you these photos of Mia were photoshopped would you find them more beautiful or less? The truth is they weren't photoshopped at all so if you said more OR less you'd be lying. Not a pixel was changed. So the beauty has not changed. Beauty is beauty regardless of how it's created or how much we have of it. And whining about beauty is just whining about beauty regardless of whether it was created by playing with pixels on a computer, dabbing paint on a canvas, or mixing genes in a womb. More...

Sаmmy Brаddy: shower cam

It's a common stereotype that men simply aren't very romantic. It's about as common as the belief that women aren't very sexual. It's often given as explanation for why men like to look at naked women while women prefer to read romance novels. But I think it was Hυgh Hеfnеr who once said nude photos of beautiful women are a man's idea of romance. Women have their own idea of romance (romance novels being the top selling books in the world) and it goes like this: women like to be pursued, bedded and married by a hunky guy with good manners and a cocky attitude, even better if it happens weekly! Men on the other hand like to discover a sexy open-minded girl taking a shower and then imagine what might happen next: sex, love, another girl perhaps! But because men's fantasies are so different from women's they tend to be sneered at, though neither sex's romantic tastes are any more silly or less classy than the other's. They're just different. And without them both, there would be no romance or sex at all, would there? So the next time someone tries to tell you that men aren't romantic, remind them that the whole realm of sexy glamour photos proves them wrong. More...

Sеnоrіtа Cаt

Photo shoots are not glamorous. Before the cameras and lights come out, before the model puts on her makeup, a lot of work goes into finding the right location, the right props and styling, and, in the case of our beloved model Cat, a few cans of Rеd Bυll. On the day we shot this set, it was the hottest day of the summer. We wanted to dress Cat in the minimum amount of clothing anyway, to give this set a sultrier, south-of-the-border kind of feel, but even in just a hat and a scarf Cat was tooooo hot, and not in a good way. Still she managed to summon her inner actress and give us some truly sizzling looks. She amazed us with her ability to step outside of herself and enjoy the moment, to ignore the weather and just revel in being a beautiful woman. Of all our models, Cat is the most capable of looking stunningly beautiful and seductive one moment, and outrageously goofy the next, because she simply enjoys being who she is. We wish more women could embrace their beauty the way she does, could be playful and serious, sexy and silly, wise and innocent, fierce and sweet. She really is a model, in the truest sense of the word: a model for how women should feel about themselves, their beauty, their sexuality, and life itself. And we think Rеd Bυll should make her their spokesmodel, too. More...

At home with Rаchеllе Wіldе: good morning

When we at BiM first came up with the notion of shooting models in their own homes, as we have recently done with Emmа Glоvеr and Sаmmy Brаddy, Rаchеllе Wіldе was the woman who inspired us. Rachelle's home is sleek and cool, fashionable yet comfortable, modern and homey at the same time. We knew we had to shoot her there, to show just how much she belongs in such a place. She is all those things too, a mixture of sophistication and down-to-earth fun, and she happily let us take over her home for the day in order to show her fans a glimpse of what life chez Rachelle is really like. There's something very natural and inviting about showcasing a woman's beauty in the place she calls home. It's where she's most comfortable, most relaxed, and most herself, which, as we've always known, are vital components of true beauty. We're grateful to Rachelle for giving us the chance to step into her private world for a little while, and for her willingness to share it with you. Rachelle greeted us that morning with a cheerful smile and a cup of tea, and as you'll see in an upcoming set, her adorable dog Ladybug made for a lively and very funny shooting experience. We hope you'll agree that any morning with Rachelle in it is a truly good morning indeed. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: will you take a chick?

When we asked our local classic auto mechanic if we could use his funky 50's themed garage for a nude set with Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn, we were pretty sure he'd agree. He's a great guy, and loves beautiful women, and so we weren't surprised when he not only said yes, but agreed to play the role of the mechanic in this set too. Our idea was simple - what if a beautiful woman needed to have her car fixed but didn't have any money? Couldn't she pay for the repairs by showing off her beautiful body, and treating the mechanic to the experience of his life? Sounded like fun. But what we didn't know was that our friend had no intention of closing up shop for our shoot. We thought he'd chosen a day when he could close down for a few hours to accommodate the shoot, but it turned out that it was business as usual that day, even while we were shooting. In a few of the shots, you can see customers in the office conducting business oblivious to the gorgeous naked woman being photographed just outside the door. It was one of the most refreshing things we've ever been part of. It gave us an all too brief but much appreciated glimpse of what life would be like if women could be naked without anyone making a huge deal out of it. It was fun and friendly and everyone involved had a great time. Enjoy! More...

Valentine: a bounty of beauty

Britain is the single largest source of top glamour models in the world. In spite of the fact British girls don't show more than boobs and bums, British glamour mags like Nuts and Zoo have become leaders in both magazine sales and website presence, while American publications including Playboy are either scrambling to find models outside their borders or are fading out of existence. Why is Britain so full of great models you might ask? Simple. It's because of something called Page 3. Page 3 refers to the third page of tabloid newspapers in Britain that regularly feature topless models. Because of them many British girls grow up without the stigma against nude modeling prevalent in the rest of the world. Thus many girls see glamour modeling as a real career opportunity and the best looking don't hesitate to go into it when they are old enough. The UK glamour industry is a direct result of this. Detractors of Page 3, apparently under the impression that only the richest and most intelligent girls go into modeling, claim Page 3 is robbing Britain of future female doctors and lawyers. They also claim to have scientific proof that Page 3 destroys the self-esteem of young women while turning young men into sexual predators. But this "proof" consists of little more than counting the opinions of test subjects looking at images in a basement lab somewhere. Meanwhile, in the lab of the real world the last 40 years have proven conclusively that Page 3 neither causes crime to rise nor the number of doctors and lawyers to fall. ;-) All that has happened is hundreds of thousands of people now work in the UK glamour industry, and hundreds of millions around the world are happier because they do.

Zoey: got to give her credit

It's no secret that women have been kept down for millennia. But the method is not well-known. In fact they have been kept down by the continuous discrediting of the value and virtue of female sexuality. Frоm Evе in the Garden of Eden to Mіlеy Cyrυs twerking on TV, sexual women have been disparaged as proof of the dangers of letting women be free. Lately we've noticed a new way of discrediting female sexuality. A lot of people are removing the credits from nude and glamour photos and re-posting them anonymously online. Apparently in their view, everyone is entitled to enjoy the benefits of these photos except the people who actually create them. The reason credits and logos are included in the first place is to allow models, photographers and publishers to either make money or attract publicity. Most put the bulk of their profits or fame back into making new pictures. They don't do it to get "rich" or to "stick it to the consumer", things we at BiM are regularly accused of, usually by file thieves and image pirates who post stolen photos for download exclusively for their profit and who have zero intention or ability to make even a single image themselves. So don't be fooled by people who claim removing credits or posting anonymous images is a noble form of democratization of "information". Their idea of a democracy requires sacrifice from everyone except themselves. And don't listen to those who say all images on the internet - including nude ones - are "public" domain. What they really mean is the effort, bodies and profits of beautiful women are their domain. Taking a value without permission when that value is an inanimate object is called theft. Taking the value of a woman's sexuality without her permission is called something else, isn't it? Remember failing to give credit is failing to recognize someone's value or moral virtue. Yet few people bring more joy, pleasure, and beauty into our world and get so little appreciation, gratitude, and benefit from it as the nude art model does. They are the most beautiful thing that modern men will ever experience. And they make dealing with our own day-to-day problems much much easier. For that we think they deserve all the credit in the world. More...

Emmа Glоvеr: the magic of real

Having worked so closely with so many beautiful women we have learned many things that might surprise you. For example, did you know that most models have another job? Illegal file sharing has made it nearly impossible for even the most gorgeous girls to survive on nude modeling alone. We have also learned that many models have children, husbands, mortgages, aging parents, school loans, scars, bad habits, hidden talents, hopes, dreams, sexual fantasies and stories to tell. So the next time a naked lady comes onto your screen, take a moment to remember that she's a real woman, with the same desire as you to live a good and happy life. Notice that the real value of female beauty is not that it makes us forget the mundane realities of life, but that it exists alongside the mundane realities of life, not that it's outside the possibilities of our lives, but part of real life, not that it's some airbrushed fantasy, but that it is real. It might sound silly but it's true: the magic of female beauty is that it is real. And only by knowing the real women behind it can we make beauty a reality in our own lives, because when we notice models are all real women, we can see that ultimately it's real women we want in our beds and in our lives, not just fantasies.

Karmen: star power

Beauty will save the world. We've said it often, but today we want to give you an actual example. Our premise is that without women being free to be women we're all in big trouble. The last time female beauty impacted the world in a significant way was the late 1980s and early 1990s. Back then, the world's most beautiful women were household names. Models who were so beautiful they were famous, and so famous they were called "supermodels". They showed the world beauty could make a woman so rich and famous and in-demand that she could be a trendsetter. Before them models were merely marketing tools, used to sell existing trends to the masses. But supermodels set the trends. They put women visibly and solidly in the driver's seat - giving them power not only over their own lives, but over the direction our culture would take. Their frequent nude or topless appearances in fashion shows, magazines, and videos made beautiful female nudity a regular element in western culture in their day. Women who posed nude before the supermodels were generally looked down on by our culture. Playboy magazine had made admirable strides by featuring famous actresses nude. This increased castings but failed to raise our moral estimates of them. It took the considerable star power of supermodels to make nudity acceptable, not just for women, but for powerful women. No longer could a woman's beauty or sexuality be used to keep her from attaining the highest positions in society. Supermodels made celebrity nudity culturally ubiquitous and morally acceptable, and went on to movie careers, to marry the world's richest men, and to start hugely successful business careers. They benefited everyone, not only with welcome eyefuls of incredible female beauty, but with long-needed female success stories. They made the world a better place. Happily, the tradition continues. Today brave models, actresses, and performers regularly post nude selfies on the internet to establish ownership and financial advantage of their own bodies. It's star power that makes nudity morally acceptable. It's nudity that makes women so beautiful. And it's beauty that will save the world. More...

Alece: goddess of fire

Fire and the female body make human life possible. Both are mysterious and life giving. Both keep us safe and warm. Both attract and dazzle the eye. And both will burn you if you get too close. Well, actually, that last one only applies to fire. Yet for some reason, every civilization and most people actually think it applies to female beauty. Though we're not sure why as fire's destructive power can be proven with a simple match, but there is really no reason at all for us to think female beauty is destructive. There is no evidence whatsoever that female beauty is dangerous to anyone, yet time and time again throughout history there it is being reviled as one of the destroyers of mankind, Eve being blamed for all sin, witches being burned, whole populations of women put into black sacks. Yes, just like fire, female beauty has been used and even worshipped in many cultures throughout history, including ours. However, also like fire it has been hated and feared as a peerless destroyer of lives and happiness, and the ultimate destination of corrupt souls. We think it's time for a better mythology of female beauty, one that does not base it for no reason on outer fire but for its similarities to inner fire. Our inner fire is what wakes us up in the morning and impels us out of bed to start the day. It raises our faces to look at the sun and stares longingly at the sunset. It is this inner fire that attracts us to the beauty of women, to the wind spreading their hair like flames, the spark in their eyes, their smiles spreading over their faces, and their skin lightly tanned by the sun. It's this fire that Alece is the goddess of, and that all women burn with. It's the fire of life, of love, and of beauty. And it's what we mean by a goddess of fire. More...

The artist as a good man

A.D. Cook is a good artist and a good guy. And you can tell he's a good guy, even if you don't know him personally due not only to his amazing art, but due to the very nature of art itself.

Perhaps the simplest way to explain what art really is, is to look at how children make it. Kids don't over analyze or worry if what they are creating has been done before. They simply take everything they are thinking about, everything they care about, mom, dad, their dog, the sun, a tree, and put them into a picture with themselves. Have you ever noticed that children always put themselves in their pictures? This is because they know the purpose of art even if grown-ups forget. The purpose of art is to create a universe in which everything works to one's liking. It's how art ther4pіsts can see so easily into the minds of children. And it's such a simple process that even we laymen can use it to see what very grown up artists like. For example, from his work, it's clear that A.D. Cook does not like dark, morbid things and is not fascinated with the mundane or the perverted. Instead he likes bright, happy, healthy subjects, beautiful women, healthy bodies, and all the trappings of worldly success and splendor, cars, sex, wealth, fine wine, etc. And recently we even see him putting himself into his images in the form of his most cherished ideas, represented in his unique digital style. And what ideas are those? Nirvana. Truth. Bliss.

From all of this we can tell that A.D. Cook is a good guy. He is not interested in the sadness of life. He is only interested in values, in the things that make life worth living, and living a joy. And the fact that he is a good artist AND a good guy means he puts only life enriching values into his work. He adds the value of his character to the value of his art. And because of this, his work takes on the potential to be great.

Will A.D. Cook be one of the great artists of our time? If a man's soul, if his ability to choose the positive over the negative in life is any indication, then yes, he will be. And if our opinion counts, well then he already is. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: superbeauty

We love FEMEN. We love women, and we love FEMEN. FEMEN is that topless women's protest group you've seen in the news demonstrating for women's rights. You might think it strange that a nude website like BiM would support a woman's group that has denounced all commercialization of women's bodies as sexist pornography, but we hope FEMEN will give us a pass since half of our creative team is female. We also strongly support women's right to use and enjoy their own beauty and sexuality for whatever purposes they choose, so while we might disagree with some of FEMEN's targets, we definitely support their right to protest topless, and we actually love the image of beautiful nude women as moral crusaders because we believe that inspiring people to be moral is nature's purpose for creating female beauty in the first place, and FEMEN is the only women's group to have ever tapped into that power on purpose. We were the first people to talk about this power that we know of several years ago and we coined the term "superbeauty" for it. Certainly the female body is unsurpassed in getting men's attention, but what has been missing until now is a good idea of what to do with that attention once you have it. Most recently the beautiful topless ladies of Page 3 in the UK have joined FEMEN in spirit and have started to use their beauty to raise money for worthy charities, a move first made by ex-Page 3 girl and BiM model Pеtа Tоdd. It's taken us as a species thousands of years to realize the untapped power in female beauty to change the world for the better, so perhaps Page 3 can be forgiven for taking 40 years to discover it? Yet, it's no coincidence that the people who want to shut Page 3 down as "pornography" are coming along just when Page 3 is starting to take on a moral purpose. Such people have made it quite clear that the only way they will accept nudity and beauty together is in the kind of pornography that openly admits its depravity and proceeds to crawl under a rock in shame. Such material has always been easy to ban and control, which is what the enemies of beauty and morality want. They call Page 3 "pornography" simply because calling it "superbeauty" would expose their desire to keep female beauty from ever inspiring people morally. Thanks to FEMEN, and perhaps thanks to Page 3 if it survives, the truth that the female body is a force of human good is getting out in some small ways. And we think that's simply super. More...

Damianne: zero tolerance

We had to block someone from our Twitter account today for being a shit. One of the lovely models suggested how nice and fun it would be if all women could go around topless all the time but this idiot had to go and spoil the spirit of her suggestion by saying that he didn't want to see women with less than perfect breasts naked. So we blocked him. We have zero tolerance for insulting women's bodies, and here's why: it's currently completely legal for women to go around in public completely topless in Canada where BiM is located, yet most women do not simply because there's so many guys out there who will insult them for doing so. In Brіtаіn women are joining feminist groups in record numbers to ban sexy topless photos in newspapers and magazines simply because they are fed up with being unfavourably compared to models. In other words, they're tired of having their bodies insulted. One of our followers on Twitter wisely pointed out that if men had their dicks laughed at every time they went out they'd never leave home. So it should not be difficult to imagine how women feel, and to practice zero tolerance towards insulting their bodies. Especially when the reward for doing so is happy naked women. ;-) More...

Emmа Glоvеr & Sаmmy Brаddy: pillow talk

Why are men so fascinated by models? I mean besides the obvious. Of course men like beautiful women and models are beautiful so it follows that men will like them. Love them even. But the recent trend of shooting photos of models in little or no make-up in their own homes doesn't follow this logic. Are models somehow more gorgeous without make-up? No. They're differently gorgeous perhaps. Are the models' homes just so nice? Emma's place looks great in these photos, but we can't honestly say it's nicer than a beach can we? Or perhaps men simply want to see how much money they would need to be able to afford a home that could keep a model happy? Maybe, but we think it has more to do with models being themselves. After all a model is by definition not herself most of the time, isn't she? She is a woman play acting, like an actress who stars in photos instead of movies. The somewhat surprising truth is, men have a soft spot for the real girl behind a model's facade simply because most men are interested in more than a woman's looks. In their real lives, men want a woman who is beautiful, sure, but they also want a woman who is available, unpretentious, and above all real. The quality men like more than any other in a woman is reality. A woman has to be real, that's all. We're really not demanding at all. Of course it never hurts for her to live the next block over as well. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: spotlight on women's rights

Women own their own bodies. Period.

Unfortunately the world is not as clear-cut as that, and almost daily we are bombarded with new shocking and confusing issues to deal with involving women's bodies and women's rights. Mіlеy Cyrυs twerking on TV. Public breast-feeding. Acid attacks. Top freedom. Female circumcision. Forced marriages. Bullying. Teachers fired for modeling. Honor killings. Public stonings. Political executions of female activists and politicians, etc.

In the U.K., there have been a rash of attacks against publications that feature photos of topless women, and lots of confusing claims and appeals to women's rights. The models and the publications say women have the right to choose their own careers and to pose topless if they want to. Protesters say these publications objectify women and assert their right to decide what publications are allowed in public. But since "objectify" means to treat as right-less, we have to wonder who is objectifying whom? Are the models objectifying women, or are the protestors objectifying models?

Who is violating whose rights? Who is right about rights?

Let's put a spotlight on women's rights to find out.

Most people think rights are simply based on popularity. They believe if most people want a right then the law should give it to them. For example, in the U.K. supporters of NoMorePage3.org say they should have the choice if they see topless models in the paper and have a petition with +118,000 signatures supporting them. Ukfeminista.org.uk says they shouldn't have to tolerate men's magazines at all and have held many organized protests driving them out of several stores.

This is the "gang" model of rights, and according to it, whoever has the biggest, strongest, or loudest gang has the most rights.

The problem with this model is that rather than leading to respect for rights it leads to laws that establish one gang's right to violate the rights of everyone else. For example, any laws passed to guarantee that no one will ever see photos of women's bare breasts in public would violate the rights of all those who enjoy looking at women's breasts even in private, and more importantly, would violate the rights of women who wanted to bare them for other reasons.

But this does not deter advocates of gang rights because they do not see any other way. They mistakenly believe rights are a political concept and can only ever be determined by debate, vote or war. But the truth is, rights are not political at all. They are not even primarily social. In fact, as I understand from Ayn Rаnd, the real source of rights can be found only in an individual human being.

For example, if it is right for a human being to try to survive in the world then that human being has to think, therefore it is right for them to think. That individual will also need to produce things to survive, like food, water, shelter, transportation, energy, art, technology, etc. So it is right for them to produce values. Note these things are not necessarily social. They are simply the right things for a person to do even if marooned alone on a desert island. They are an individual person's rights.

Yes, there are certain advantages to living among others, such as division of labour, the possibility of specialization, productive agreements, etc., but these are only advantages if each person keeps their rights and remains free within that society. Simply being among others doesn't mean we no longer need to live, think and produce values, and being among others introduces the possibility that someone might try to stop us from doing these things. So it's also right that people should be free to trade their values with each other and right to keep and use these values - i.e. to own property. And since the main way to stop people from exercising their rights is physically, it is also right that people should own their own bodies.

Ownership of one's body means you can use it as you like, and that as long as you're not violating someone else's rights, no one can touch you, tell you what to do, or threaten you. It means no woman can be sexually assaulted or bullied. It means no woman can have acid thrown on her by strangers or be killed by her own family. It means no woman can be told who she can have sex with or denied access to an abortion. It means a woman can neither be a sex slave nor be kept from having a lover. It means no woman can be married or circumcised against her will. It means a woman can neither be kept from feeding a child in public nor be stoned to death in public. It means women can't be forced to cover their bodies or be prevented from nude modeling. And it means women can't be kept from school, careers, medical care, or elected office.

This is the model known as individual rights. And it's why within a society one of the most important rights is ownership of one's own body.

Notice that politics don't define rights, they merely implement them by way of laws. Nature defines rights, human nature, natural law. And this is why there's so much confusion and contradiction about women's rights in Britain and the world today. Rights can never be determined accurately or fairly by political means. It is only by looking at the values every single human being needs to live that we can ever truly know what is right and wrong socially. And individual rights is the only system that promises every person on earth the greatest possible freedoms. This is why only individual rights should ever be put into law and never gang rights. In any country with gang rights women have at best one or two of the "body" rights above. However, if you live in place where women have all of them, then you are living in a society where women are as free as they can ever be.

Right now in the UK women are being asked to choose between individual or gang rights over their bodies. They can't have both, simply because each contradicts and destroys the other when implemented. Either ALL women have the right to own their own bodies, or a vicious gang has the right to violate the bodies of any woman they choose, be that gang a government, a feminist group, a religion, a lynch mob, or a family. And when women do choose gang rights, as they have throughout most of the world today, they inevitably lose all their rights, just as women have in Iran or anywhere gang rights are the law.

So if you're a woman who feels your body or your rights are being violated then choose individual rights. Choose your right to your own body over your right to someone else's. Fight for ownership of your body with all your might against the growing gang that wants to take it away from you. Fight to have your individual right to your own body protected by law.

Fight while you still have the right.

Karmen: the source of all things

Female sexuality is the natural source of all things human. None of us would be here without it, and we all owe our lives to it. Male sexuality is important, but biologically males seem to be only modified females. It may even be that only females of a species carry a complete genome in their DNA. For now, at least, only women can carry a child to term, and give birth naturally. So like it or not, females are the primary sex. And the power of this primal force has been fought over since the beginning of recorded history. The physically larger of the sexes, men have always dominated women, preventing female sexuality from taking its natural course. Only in recent centuries has the concept of individual rights allowed women to fight for their freedom, and to win it from men. They have been so successful that in recent decades women have gained political control over other women. Rather than freeing them completely, they have ganged up on those who use and enjoy their sexuality, and have proceeded to abuse them in ways as barbaric and "civilized" as men once did, everything from female circumcision to bullying to banning men's girly magazines. The women - and men - who want to control female sexuality do so today the same way they have for millennia: they denounce sexy women as demeaning, depraved, dangerous, destructive and deadly. For example the attacks against the "Blυrrеd Lіnеs" video, against Page 3 and lads mags in the UK, against Mіlеy Cyrυs twerking, against skinny models, overweight celebs, etc. It might seem there are as many versions of the attacks on sexy women as there are attackers, but in fact they are all the same: they are all attempts to discredit the moral value of female sexuality, which means: they want to stop women from being able to do whatever the hell they want with their own bodies. All the annoying feminist, concerned-mother, modern-male and religious groups - as well as the obnoxious men who claim naked "babes" are their right - might seem contradictory or even ridiculous, but they are not, and they are all deadly serious. Quite simply, they are all fighting over who owns female sexuality: individual women or them. Clearly the answer is individual women. And the solution is obvious: grant to all women, in law, the inviolate right to own their own bodies, which means, the right to use, enjoy and profit from their beauty and sexuality. In the long history of proposed "solutions", the one dictated by nature remains the only one we've never tried. Individual women and their sexuality are inseparable. Those who try to take it from them are in fact buggering with what makes us human. More...

Emmа Glоvеr: why men like sexy ladies

Although the ladies who pose for lads mags in Britain have done a valiant job defending them, women generally have stayed out of the fight, mostly because they don't really understand why men like lads mags so much, and because they think their lives wouldn't be any different without them. Some may even kid themselves that men will show them more attention if lads mags didn't exist. Therefore, it is not women's job to defend photos of half naked women, it's ours. We men. Men need to defend lads mags and to enlighten women about the reasons we love them, which are not very complicated at all, but it's not what women think. In fact, men love lads mags for the same reasons women love romance novels. Because for us, it's art. Now don't laugh. You don't really think that canvas in the museum smeared with spilled paint is art do you? No, art is simply a book or picture that allows someone to experience their hopes and dreams. For women it's a romantic situation, a hot guy, and a lot of attention, including sexual attention. These things don't happen often enough in real life, so romance novels allow women to hold onto the hope that one day they will. Lads mags are art for men. They allow men to hold onto their hopes and dreams of a beautiful woman, happy, engaged, and sexually promising. These thing don't happen often enough in real life, so lads mags allow men to hold onto the hope that one day they will. In light of the recent attacks on lads mags by women's groups we can't help but wonder how women would feel if romance novels were banned, or kept behind screens in the back room and top shelf of a seedy book store? Would they feel insulted, indignant, unappreciated, angry, embarrassed, sad? This is how men feel when women attack lads mags. But we can't let it get us down. Women can't be blamed for not understanding a man's idea of romance, so it's up to us to stand up and defend it as courageously and as cockily as any romance novel hero would. More...

Valentine: men know what is beautiful

It's one of the ironies of life that every time women complain about current beauty standards those standards get even tougher to meet. For example, 25 years ago health and fitness were all the rage and the models in magazines were supermodels, tall, buxom, curvy, happy, confident. Women complained that most women don't look like that. So around 20 years ago the style changed dramatically in the opposite direction to grunge and then to heroin chic. The models in magazines got deathly skinny, unhealthy, morbid, and miserable. Women complained that this style was causing eating disorders & killing young girls. So around 15 years ago natural beauty came into vogue, and bodyinmind.com along with it. This created a new crop of models who were incredibly beautiful even without make-up or Photoshop. Much like Valentine is in this set. However, ironically, women complained that "real" women don't look like that. So then a certain kind of real women became the new cover girls - movie stars. And as if being a naturally gorgeous movie star wasn't a hard enough act to follow, you guessed it, women complained again. This time that movie stars aren't every day women. So around 10 years ago real every day women, who were naturally beautiful but with no real perceivable talent became the new standard of beauty - the women of reality TV. However, soon fed up with the likes of Kіm Kаrdаshіаn, women complained again. This time they wanted more serious role models, not women who were famous for merely being famous. So a few years ago the standard started to change again and has become unprecedentedly difficult to reach. Today a woman has to be a saint or a princess to be considered truly beautiful by women. In fact, she pretty much has to be one of only two women: Angеlіnа Jоlіе or Prіncеss Kаtе. Ladies it's time to stop complaining. There is simply nowhere higher for beauty standards to go without making it impossible for any woman to see herself as beautiful at all. Meanwhile, men are still back there admiring the beauty of supermodels, the more natural the better. Maybe women should go back to letting men decide what is beautiful in a woman. It would be much healthier for women and more natural. After all, aren't men the ones who are supposed to find women beautiful? More...

Sаmmy Brаddy: boobs ARE news!

The anti-Page 3 movement keeps telling us the only purpose of topless models on Page 3 is to excite men sexually which makes it porn which means it shouldn't be in a daily family newspaper. Yеt Pаgе 3 is the most non-sexual example of female nudity we can think of. Can you think of any photo of a woman that shows as much as Page 3 does that is less sexual and just as popular? There aren't any, anywhere. Which means men enjoy Page 3 not as much for titillation as for inspiration. Men are told almost hourly in one way or another that our undying interest in women is either unwanted or inappropriate, so a beautiful naked lady smiling at us daily from the pages of a public newspaper is a most cheering experience. It's validating. It tells us it's okay to love women. Page 3 tells women something too. Women's sexual and physical freedom is attacked daily, in every home, church, business, school, mall, theatre, and newspaper in the world, and has been since the Bible first vilified Eve. Page 3 tells women it's okay to be sexy. We human beings need desperately to remember that the female body is a beautiful thing, and a moral thing. And that is the higher purpose of Page 3. And in Britain, at least, if nowhere else, that purpose has been achieved. The fact that Page 3 is in the most popular family newspaper proves that the beauty of the female body is considered respectable, by millions. This is a huge and unprecedented development in the world. NoMorePage3's slogan is "Boobs aren't news!" Sadly, the true meaning and importance of boobs on Page 3 is news to them. And the very existence of NoMorePage3 and its daily attacks proves that Page 3 needs to be daily too. More...

That's NOT art - or is it?

By now it's not news to our readers that the page 3 photos of beautiful topless models are under attack in Grеаt Brіtаіn. One of the most common arguments we hear is that photos meant only to titilate men don't belong in a daily newspaper. We whole-heartedly disagree, in part because there is absolutely nothing wrong with men being titilated by women, but mostly because Page 3 serves another more profound purpose. Page 3 is art. Before you scoff, think about it: men throughout the U.K. are "cheered up" on a daily basis by Page 3 (their words). They post their favourite photos on their walls and in their lockers, in order to be inspired by them every day. How many images do YOU have that perform this function for you, every day? While it's true we tend to think of "true art" as either something old or something incomprehensible, we suggest a new, more modern definition of art is needed to account for the effect Page 3 has on men, something more than physical titilation. Perhaps after all art is simply what someone somewhere finds beautiful. And no one would ever claim the only purpose of beauty is sexual titilation, would they? At least not anyone who believes in art. And no one but a fool would claim men don't find Page 3 beautiful. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: model rights

This week's set features topless Page 3 model for the UK SUN Rhіаn Sυgdеn. The SUN newspaper has recently come under attack from Nomorepage3 for perpetuating "1970s sexist values" [Source] in its daily edition, and for being out of touch with modern women's issues. Yes, Page 3 began 40 years ago. But so did the Islamic revolution in the middle east.

Nude FEMEN anti-Islamic activist Alia al-Mahdi tells us what else they have in common "I chose to protest this way [nude] because of the ideas that say that we do not own our bodies and that we are public property, as people are the ones who decided what should be done with our bodies." [Source]

Alia is not talking about Page 3. She is talking about Islаmіc Shаrіа law that forces women to cover themselves head to toe, forces them out of the workplace and into the home, where they become little more than breeding cows. She is talking about women's right to use and enjoy their own bodies, and the right to choose a career without being attacked for it.

Today UK women are completely free. In Islаm they are stoned in the streets. Is our next move a backwards one, removing women's right to their bodies, starting with models? Is it time to take steps in the same direction as the Islamic revolution or to go the full monty and grant nude models the same rights and respect as other women?

Inspite of considerable adversity, Page 3 girls have recently joined FEMEN in spirit and have started to use their beauty to try to make the world a better place, raising money and doing promotions for several worthy charities. FEMEN has shown how the female body has the power to attract attention and motivate people towards a better world. Maybe the beauty of Page 3 has been doing that all along in as many small ways as it has admirers?

We think so. But ask yourself: considering we're only now discovering the hidden powers in female beauty, is 40 years really too long for Page 3 to exist? Considering that every woman in the world desperately needs the right to own her own body, is Page 3 really out of touch with women's issues?

Let's let Page 3 girls decide.

(And yes, we know FEMEN is against the "sex" industry, and possibly even opposes Page 3, but that is NOT the point here. The points here are FEMEN's discovery of the power of female beauty to inspire moral and political change AND a woman's right to own her own body regardless of who opposes her, be it Islam, Nomorepage3, or even FEMEN itself.)

Rаchеllе Wіldе: why "naughty" is not nice

It doesn't take much to be naughty, to steal cookies for example, or to giggle in church. Posing nude in front of the whole world, however, takes real courage. And so does risking censure to use and enjoy your sexuality. So if you mean bravery when you talk about a woman being sexual, say "brave" or "sexy", not "naughty". Don't add to the already overwhelming number of words stacked against sexy women these days. "Sexism" and "objectification" are also meaningless terms. Yet glam-bashing "feminist" groups continue to use them effectively to censor our media because people who see female sexuality as "naughty" will not dare to stand in public and declare their love and respect for naked women. This is another reason not to use the word "naughty": it concedes the moral high ground to your enemy. If you're interested in changing minds or at least sounding reasonable, telling people you're only 'a little' sneaky and immoral just won't do it.

As bad as losing an argument is, there's an even more costly consequence: the small guilt you feel for enjoying "naughty" pictures prevents you from seeing the guilt of your opponents. In our view, people who hate female beauty know perfectly well that sexy images are healthy for men, empowering for women, and pretty much irrelevant to kids. They should know that preaching the "evils" of female sexuality is what makes men hate women, makes women destroy themselves, and what screws children up. They won't admit it - ever - but only because they don't want us to know it. Our own guilt prevents us from seeing theirs, but also from seeing how truly monstrous theirs is. And that keeps them safe from the wrath of decent folk.

We get the feeling true beauty haters want to do much more - and something much worse - than remove topless models from Page 3 or lads mags from stores. We sense that they want nothing less than to remove every single last pleasure from our lives one by one - to destroy every possible reason anyone could ever have for living, no matter how small or how cherished it is. This would certainly explain why they always seem to be going after someone's joy.

The psychology of such people is too big a subject to cover properly in a small blurb like this. In fact it would take a small book. Remember the Grinch? Is it possible these people simply want to die and to take every last one of us with them? Hard to believe perhaps, and harsh. But no more vicious or incredible than accusing sexy women of warping children, ruining women, corrupting men and damning us all.

And as far as we can tell, it's nothing but our own misguided belief that naked means naughty that keeps sexual Grinches true nature hidden, and fear of our just anger that makes them work so hard to keep us thinking naked ladies are immoral. Thе Grіnchеs know we can't denounce them as depraved as long as we think we are. So we can only fight them if we stop believing them.

Naked ladies - and those who admire them - need to shout as loudly and as proudly as they can that sexy women are not immoral, and that nakedness is not naughty. Don't we all wish Eve had talked back to God in the garden of Eden and exclaimed "I've done nothing wrong!" The world, and the freedom of women, is still waiting for a woman to do just that. But it's a start at least to simply stop using the word "naughty", and stop equating female sexuality with sin. And perhaps in the end, if it's not intentional, the Grinches will see the error of their ways and change.More...

Emmа Glоvеr & Sаmmy Brаddy: matching perfectly

With the release of our latest set by Chrіs Rυеggе we're thrilled to announce the addition to our already world-famous modeling lineup two of the most naturally beautiful models working today, Emmа Glоvеr and Sаmmy Brаddy. We've been huge fans of Emma since we first spotted her a couple of years ago and couldn't help but notice Sammy standing out among all the new models around these days. We would have considered ourselves lucky to have worked with either one of them, but to be bringing you lots of sets of both over the next several months is more than a dream come true. It's more like waking up in your dreams and not wanting to wake up! And we do want to say a very special THANK YOU to Emma for pretty much making the whole thing possible. She moved into her own place, furnished it impeccably, and then invited Sammy over for some Saturday afternoon fun, and all for us. Okay, well, the last part anyway. So here then is Emma and Sammy being silly in the kitchen. And please, home decor designers take note: be sure to always match your wallpapers, fabrics and window treatments with beautiful nude women. It's important. Thank you. More...

Mia: is sexual excitement bad?!

Detractors of Page 3 seem overly fond of reminding us that the only purpose of Page 3 is the sexual excitement of men. For example, we see it daily on NOMOREPAGE3's Twitter feed and in fact it's one of the self-proclaimed motivating principles of that movement (http://nomorepage3.org/faqs/). For those who don't know Page 3 is a daily feature in some British tabloids that features photos of topless women. Exactly why men getting excited at the sight of beautiful nude women is supposed to be a bad thing NOMOREPAGE3 doesn't say. They also don't mention what the world would look like if men were not excited by women. Perhaps because it would look a lot like Iran. They also ignore the fact that many men put up the Page 3 photos at work, as inspiration, not for sexual gratification. Men don't wank at work, do they?! The reality is, nature has pretty much designed the female body to excite men. If it didn't none of us would be here. Female beauty excites men and attracts us to women. It also inspires us to work hard, to be as good as we can, to fall in love, to be romantic, to get married, to have kids, to make art, to listen sympathetically, to defend women, to even die providing for and protecting them. Still NOMOREPAGE3 reminds us that boobs are not news. Apparently to them, the full rainbow spectrum of men's reactions to beautiful nude women is news. But to the rest of us, Page 3 has proven that male love of the female body is a good and normal part of life. More...

Petula: the most innocent form of nudity

Even though Page 3 is probably the most innocent form of female nudity in the world, and even though it has found its way into millions of family homes throughout Britain without destroying children or the moral fiber of the country as a whole, those who hate Page 3 are now claiming that it is pornography, simply by virtue of the fact that Page 3 features topless women. In their minds - but certainly not in reality nor in the minds of most people - a woman's body has only one purpose: sex, so for them it follows that showing her body has to be sexual. These people who claim nudity is sexual by definition not only lack imagination (since there are any number of non-sexual reasons for a woman to be naked) but must lack sex lives as well (since generally sex involves a little more than simple nudity). But in the name of accuracy and loyalty to all the innocently nude women out there, we've taken it upon ourselves to point out that sex is not the only purpose of Page 3, or of the female body in general. Off the top then, a few of the perfectly innocent reasons a woman might be naked? Well, let's start with: Fun. Beauty. Art. Inspiration. Dance. Freedom. Swimming. Sleeping. Sunbathing. Protest. Self-expression. Innocence. Joy. Medicine. Teaching. Examination. Fashion. Naturism. And there's likely lots more. As it is, we'd say Page 3 involves more than half of those. And you know, while we were writing this we were trying to think of any other modern publication or media in which nude women were presented more innocently, and non-sexually, than they are on Page 3. But we couldn't think of a single blessed one. Can you? More...

Kеlly Hаll: female freedom fighter

Recently a British MP stood up in parliament to denounce Page 3. She held up a topless photo of Kеlly Hаll and demanded Page 3 be banned from Parliament. It was a publicity stunt on behalf of NOMOREPAGE3.org, which consists of more than a hundred thousand people who denounce Page 3 as depraved and dangerous. Also recently, Britain welcomed Mаlаlа Yоυsυfzаі, a 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for her belief that girls should have the right to attend school. The attack on Malala did not go unnoticed half way around the world. However, the attack on Kеlly Hаll went unnoticed right in her own country. She was being held up and condemned as an example of public indecency. How many of us could laugh that off as Kelly has so admirably done? In fact, the models who pose for Page 3 are routinely verbally attacked like this for doing nothing more than being topless and smiling and being a placeholder for women's freedom. France, on the other hand, understands, and has just honored FEMEN, their topless female freedom fighters on a postage stamp, as part of their July celebrations of la Marianne, their national symbol of independence, a topless woman leading the people out of tyranny and into freedom. FEMEN fight injustice against women by fighting for ownership of their bodies, beauty and sexuality and the right to use them as they please. In Brіtаіn this battle is being fought by Page 3 and the models who pose for it. Daily they must duck the pot shots taken at them by other women and by their countries leaders. Of course all of these women, Malala, FEMEN, and PAGE 3 are amazing and deserve to be honored as heroes. And while it seems to take a actual bullet or arrest to get people's attention these days, the Page 3 girls definitely take more than their share of abuse. Besides, who are the real heroes in any war? The once wounded? Those taken prisoner? Or the grunts in the trenches getting shot at every single day? We hope Britain will wake up and realize that it has the latest heroes of the British women's movement right within its own shores, and that Page 3 girls are female freedom fighters of the highest order who deserve at least a knighthood, if not a stamp. How long can Page 3 hold out under so much abuse and derision? Well, one thing's for sure, they could hold out a lot longer if they had our support, and our respect. Vive la Marianne! Get well soon Malala. And Gоd bless Kеlly Hаll and all the Page 3 girls. More...

Lauren: meditate on breasts?

Imagine if the daily newspapers carried photos of beautiful naked women. Would paper sales increase? Before you say "of course!", meditate on that a moment. Yes, you might subscribe right away, but would other people? Would women for example? Would people with families? Would educated people subscribe or would they think it sexist? Would religious people buy it, or would they be more likely to protest?

In most countries, naked women in the newspaper is not going to happen, like ever. But believe it or not Grеаt Brіtаіn does have topless women in a few of their daily papers, and they have had for 40 years. In fact, most Britains barely notice any more, and the papers themselves are left about in homes, shops, restaurants, taxis, buses, subways, offices and classrooms. Mоst Brіtаіns have forgotten how especially lucky they are to have Page 3 girls, as they are called, and many declare there is no longer any real purpose to Page 3 other than mild male titillation. To them the lovely specimens of female youth, freedom, and sexuality are now nothing more than flowers left too long in a vase. Many, led by NOMOREPAGE3.org, are now suggesting that those flowers be thrown out. But to those of us who do not have nude women in our newspapers, those flowers are still as radiant and robust as the first day they blossomed, and NOMOREPAGE3's attacks appear to us, if not to Britains, as attacks on beautiful young women. To us it appears that NOMOREPAGE's purpose is to establish that the female body is dangerous and destructive and a threat to society itself. Check their site for yourself. So we want to remind all the forgetful British admirers of Page 3 that the purpose of Page 3 must surely be just the opposite, which is, to establish that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the female body. When the news from all over the world is filled daily with reports of gang r4pеs, "honor" killings, deadly bullying, acid burnings and public floggings of young women, that seems to be something we need desperately to remember, every day, and every where.

Instead of yawning while Page 3 is attacked in Britain, and turning the page when young women are abused for the beauty of their sexuality the world over, shouldn't we all be trying to get Page 3 into our own daily newspapers as soon as possible so we can send the message that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the female body, like ever?

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: naturally beautiful

What ever happened to natural beauty? A few years ago bodyinmind.com burst onto the nude/glamour scene by featuring all-natural women in gorgeous natural surroundings. And the public loved it. But slowly, by degrees, the nude scene shifted towards unnaturally glamourized beauty, and ultimately towards porn, a place we had no desire to go. We decided to keep our focus on non-sexual natural beauty, come what may. But we will not get rich doing this. In fact, the world has become so completely partial to fake beauty that young girls, who ALL have a certain natural loveliness to them when they are young can't wait to reach the age when their parent's will let them get this pierced, that tattooed, what implanted, or which removed permanently. We think this is a shame, not only because it makes it almost impossible to find naturally beautiful models, but perhaps more forebodingly, simply because Mоthеr Nаtυrе invented natural female beauty to insure the survival of the human race, in other words: to make sure men were genuinely attracted to women. We're not sure what the future has in store for a species that is losing its ability to reproduce naturally. Could it possibly cause us to breed out of control and overpopulate the planet so badly that we can't survive? Maybe? So we decided today to remind those of you who don't know, or who have perhaps forgotten, that underneath all their make-up, hair extensions, piercings, tattoos, implants, injections, hair colour, fake tans, etc. women are actually kind of good looking. So much so, in fact, that men in the past actually managed to fall in love with them for a lifetime together raising children who understood the role of female beauty in reproduction and responsibility. And it all happened quite naturally. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: saving the world?

By now, most fans of beautiful nude women have heard of the current movement in Britain to have the topless Page 3 Girls removed from Thе Sυn newspaper. (NOMOREPAGE3) So far this movement has gone mostly unanswered, so it falls upon us to remind NOMOREPAGE3 and everyone else that Beauty will save the world. We're fond of that optimistic sentiment at BiM because never in human history has it ever been more possible than right now. BiM has long been at the forefront of the movement to teach the world that female beauty and sexuality are a force of goodness and morality. And we're delighted to be joined in recent years by women all over the world from organizations like FEMEN and GoTopless to the myriad "nude" calendars and fundraisers from old ladies' garden clubs to female Olympic athletes. At the same time, never have beauty-haters been more vocal and more threatened by the connection these ladies are drawing between female beauty and morality. Beauty-haters never want to let the rest of us make that connection. In fact it terrifies them. This is why they reserve their greatest wrath for beautiful women like Page 3 girls who put their beauty to good uses. For example, recently many supporters of NOMOREPAGE3 held off attacking individual Page 3 girls, that is until the girls appeared on Page 3 wearing Hеlp Fоr Heroes t-shirts. It was only then, when the Page 3 girls put shirts on that the beauty-haters attacked. And it was only when promoting a charity. Clearly, the protesters are more upset by beautiful women being good, than being naked. In fact some, such as TeenieB63, were so abusive their accounts had to be removed by Twitter! You can see for yourself some of the less spiteful attacks in these examples [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] These should be all the proof anyone needs to see how desperately beauty-haters want us to think beautiful women are immoral. This is why they try to define all instances of female beauty or nudity as "porn". This is also why they attack Page 3 girls instead of porn stars. It's also why so many charities don't accept money raised by nude women. (Kudos go out to Hеlp Fоr Heroes for having the guts to accept help from Page 3. But then outstanding bravery is nothing new to these gentlemen.) So what can we learn from beauty-haters attacking the beautiful women who help charities? It's this: beauty-haters never want us to see female beauty and sexuality as a good thing, because then we will see that they, the beauty-haters, are not good, and that saving women or the world is NOT their goal, and never was. Their goal, and their shabby secret that has been exposed by Page 3 girls covering up for charity, is that beauty-haters only real goal is to destroy good, beautiful women. More...

Karmen: all woman

We've been following with great interest the current battle between the women of Grеаt Brіtаіn over the fate of the topless models featured on page 3 of Thе Sυn newspaper. A group of 100,000 or so self-labeled feminists of the anti-beauty kind are petitioning to put a small band of 10 or so page 3 girls out of work. What is even more sad than women fighting among themselves, is the way in which they have separated into two groups: the happy and good-natured, un-intellectual beauties, and the miserably sexless egg-headed bullies. Each camp consists of sadly incomplete women. One group lacks knowledge, the other lacks a libido. Wouldn't it be ever so wonderful if somehow they could merge into women with bodies and brains, free and feminine, politically savvy and sexual. Instead we have a country full of females who either blink uncomprehendingly or glare resentfully at each other. No woman can ever achieve greatness or lasting happiness by hating herself, and no group of women can by hating another. The ladies of the Isles have to learn what it means to be a whole woman, to be all woman, because if Page 3 goes, Ms. Britain will be left irrevocably barren. More...

Skye: beauty busted?

It has been said that Beauty will save the world. What this really means is that female beauty and sexuality inspire men to do good things, and might - if allowed freedom to do so over a decent amount of time - inspire men to be better than they have ever been before and could quite possibly change the world irrevocably for the better. Yes, women also excite men sexually, but there is no contradiction between sex and decency. Many people like to perpetuate the false madonna/whore dichotomy in our romantic and sexual lives but the simple truth is women don't have to choose between being good or being bad. Only when we define sex as immoral are women cast as villains simply for being sexual. If only we would stop and realize that sex is not a bad thing at all, that it is not only the most enjoyable thing we humans do but also the thing that brought each and every one of us into existence, then we would free women - and men - to be sexual without the taint of immorality poisoning our every moment of joy. Human sexuality is not going away. All protesters accomplish by attacking it is to denigrade it and pervert it into something bad, which is how it's been treated through most of human history, and over most of the globe today. And the result is a world in ever increasing need of saving. More...

Damianne: tresses

People often say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that personal taste is as varied as snowflakes. Yet there's one constant that never seems to change when it comes to assessing female beauty, no matter who you are: long hair. Almost without exception, men everywhere will agree that long hair on a woman is much more attractive than short hair. It doesn't matter if a short style suits her face, it doesn't matter if it's in fashion - every man prefers every woman to have long, flowing, gorgeous hair that falls down her back, slides over her shoulders, ruffles in the breeze. Its a sensual delight, for sure, to feel long strands running through your fingers or splaying out across your chest when she snuggles next to you, but its the visual punch it packs that really does the trick. Long hair is vibrantly sexy, it represents a young woman in the prime of her sexuality who loves being an attractive woman. It shows that this woman is unafraid of showing off her sexuality. It's not a coincidence that both Islam and Judaism, and even many sects of Christianity, all dictate that women cover their hair in public. They've known for centuries that a woman's hair is a powerful symbol of beauty and sexuality. Their desire is to cover it up, while ours is to celebrate it for the wonderful, natural, beautiful experience that it is. We shot this set of Damianne just brushing her long, beautiful hair to call attention to how large a part of her beauty it is. More...

Mia: who wants happiness?

Happiness: we all want it, or do we? At some point in many people's lives they begin to work harder to kill happiness in others than at being happy themselves. We call this the If-I-Can't-Have-Then-Nobody-Can syndrome. It's a peculiar quirk of human nature that comes out when happiness eludes us so consistently that we give up on it completely. Most of us think that if we wake up in the morning with even a little resolve that we will find at least a little happiness in our day. But happiness is guaranteed to no one. Happiness is the emotion that we feel when we succeed at something. And success requires effort, which means the happiest people are usually the ones who try the hardest to be so. Unfortunately most people eventually discover it's far easier to succeed at hurting others than it is to achieve some good goal of our own. That is the point where happiness actually becomes a virtue, and hurting others becomes a vice. At that point we decide either to make ourselves happy or to bring others down. Therefore, anyone who is truly happy should be admired because we then know that they have achieved their happiness without hurting others, for in truth there is no other way to achieve it. On the other hand, anyone who tries to chase happiness by defeating the joy of others can never really catch it due to the fact that while they may gain some happiness by killing the joy of others, they will also lose the same amount or more by discovering how fleeting happiness can really be - by destroying the happiness of others, they lose respect for happiness and thus their motivation for achieving it. Happiness requires real effort, and honest morality. Those who achieve it should be honored, admired, and protected as rare gems of humanity. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: lessons in female beauty

With most schools closing for the summer break we are reminded that there is one subject that is never taught in schools that should be: female beauty. Instead we all - men, women, and children - learn a negatively distorted view of female beauty through our culture at large. Women are taught that possessing female beauty will make them both the most admired and despised creatures on earth. Men learn that looking at beautiful women makes them disloyal to other women and admiring sexy women makes them r@pists. Children learn that female beauty and sexuality are so dangerous that simply looking at them will fuck them up or life. Maybe summer should be a time when we teach ourselves and our children the truth about female beauty. For example, men need to learn that there is nothing wrong with liking to look at beautiful women and that defending women is one of the things that makes them men. Children instinctively admire female beauty so all they have to be taught is that it is a fairy tale meant to inspire us, not a textbook. And finally, rather than admiring or despising beauty in others, women need to learn to admire the women who put it to good use and despise those who thwart that good use. And finally we all need to remember - if not learn - that the earth itself is a beautiful place, due at least in part to the wondrous beauty of women. More...

We are not a porn site!

Every once in a while we find ourselves having to remind people that bodyinmind.com is not a porn site. Perhaps it's because we feature completely nude women that our photos are mistaken for porn. Or maybe our models are just so beautiful no one can believe they have not all had career-boosting surgical enhancements. But the truth is, there is not now, nor has there ever been porn on bodyinmind.com. With one exception ALL of our models are 100% natural and most make their primary livings outside of nude modeling. We don't link to porn sites, nor do we include porn ads or upsells to porn in our member's area or in our promotions. But perhaps the most obvious difference between bodyinmind.com and porn sites is that our models' smiles are genuine. They are not smiling for our pleasure, but for their own. Zoey is a beautiful example. So if you want porn, there's about a billion sites out there that have what you're looking for. But there has only ever been one bodyinmind.com, and this is it. And you won't find a lick of porn on it, just lots of naked, beautiful, happy women. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: hay baby

We at bodyinmind.com present women in a variety of lights, beautiful, intelligent, and moral. For example, this set of Rachelle is simply an ode to pinups from the 1950s, with the emphasis on fun and beauty. But we would be just as happy to present a set of Rachelle as a serious rocket scientist, or the Secretary-General of the Unіtеd Nаtіоns. Indeed, you might see such sets of her on bodyinmind.com in the future. The point is, we all need to judge women on the large scale, not by focusing too closely on any one attribute or facet of their femininity, but on the woman as a whole. Just as we try to show women in sets with as much variety as possible, we hope our viewers will appreciate ALL of the qualities in the women they meet, and will see them as the endless source of fascination and inspiration that we do.

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: the new queen of tease

Britain is famous for its royalty, both today and in the past. But over the centuries we can't remember wanting to see any of them naked. In fact we're indeed most grateful to the amount of rich fabric with which they have tended to dr4pе themselves in with such royal regularity, and the steadfastness with which they have refused even to hint there might be skin underneath. However, that is not to say that Britain is without its great beauties. Quite the contrary, and Rhіаn Sυgdеn is an obvious example. Nor is Britain without its cultural references to nudity and tease. In fact, Britain is a modern standout in the tradition. Page 3 and lads mags come bouncing to mind. And none of the models who have opted NOT to dr4pе themselves to royal excess does so with more beauty, fun, popularity and elegance than our Rhian. This is why we are naming her the Nеw Qυееn of Tease. Bеtty Pаgе eat your heart out. Rhіаn Sυgdеn now holds the crown. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: backseat babe

Have you ever been stopped at a light or driving along and glanced into the car beside you? Have you ever seen a completely naked woman in it? If you have and if you've been to Canada that woman might have been Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn. Hayley-Marie is the kind of girl who loves being naked, and on her last trip to Canada to shoot with us, after 2 solid days of shooting, we were pleasantly exhausted and driving her back to the airport when she got that gleam in her eye and once again her clothes started coming off. Leanne lunged for her camera and clickety split, Hayley was naked and we got yet another delightful set of nudes. Hayley-Marie just giggled as we passed police cars and pedestrians, and lots of windows rolled down and eyebrows curled up in the cars that drove by. We do hope you were one of the drivers who got an eye full of Hayley-Marie that day. But if not, here's the way we saw it to drive you crazy. More...

Morning with Alece

One of the nicest things about traveling with a model is getting to wake up with her. Not in the literal sense, of course. In that sense that when you meet up for coffee in the morning you get to experience her beauty in a totally unexpected way. When we shot with Alece at Kаthlееn's Bаrn in Tivoli, Nеw Yоrk, Alece stayed in the funky converted barn and we stayed in the main house. The next morning we arrived at the barn bright and early for more shooting and Alece had just woken up, and when she strolled outside naked for a stretch and a yawn and her first cup of coffee, it was such a delightful, natural sight that we couldn't help but sneak up and take a few pictures. Alece didn't mind, and gamely vamped for the camera once she discovered we were there. We found these few charming photos recently, and decided to share them with you as a mini-set, something pleasant for you to start your day with when you need something nice to wake up to. More...

Petula: shagadelic

Rеmеmbеr Aυstіn Powers: Intеrnаtіоnаl Mаn of Mystery? In 1997, Mіkе Mеyеrs introduced us to the swinging 60's London spy who had been frozen for thirty years and thawed out in the modern world, confused by technology, hopelessly out of fashion, and baffled by the restrictive sexual climate. He still wanted to shag every woman he met. And he didn't see why he shouldn't. His was the age of free love, a 'shagadelic' era of mini skirts and go-go boots, of long legs and long hair and complete 'consequence free sex'. In the movie, Austin has to learn some lessons about the modern age, and of course he falls in love, but throughout it all, his cheeky, unapologetic horniness is entirely charming. We root for him. We wish Mіss Kеnsіngtоn would rip her clothes off for him, with the same innocently playful spirit with which he gets naked (as he does all too often, much to our chagrin). We secretly wish we could all be as shagadelic as he is, and go back to a time when it was completely acceptable for men and women to find each other groovy. At least we can make a bit of start with this gallery of Petula. Yeah, baby! More...

Kеlly Hаll: my lovely lady pumps

There are not a lot of things that women like more than shoes. And most men can appreciate how a nice pair of high heels can make a woman look. However, we often get complaints about the shoes our models wear, just as often we get compliments. 'Women should be 100% naked ALL THE TIME!', we hear, while from others we get, 'PLEASE more high heeled hotness!'. It seems some people have very strong feelings about the lowly shoe and it leaves us rather baffled. Perhaps it's due to the sheer power of female beauty and its tendency to overwhelm us. Some men fetishize shoes and feet because it makes them feel safe - it allows them to completely ignore the women herself. And some women obsessively collect shoes perhaps for the same reason - it keeps them safe from the effort of trying to understand who they really are. And while we have nothing against our friend the foot, we'd like to suggest to those who can see little else that you slowly lift your gaze. You might discover there's a lovely lady attached with a mind inside. More...

It doesn't hurt that we're the most tasteful nude site in the world, or that we have a reputation of honesty and integrity - women usually respond well to those who respect them and treat them well.

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: sex object or sex symbol?

"I believe it is wrong for women to be reduced to mere sexual objects in a family newspaper". This statement comes from the 17-year-old Gіrl Gυіdе who organized the much touted petition to ban topless Page 3 models from British newspapers. Trying to reach people's minds is a good thing, but ganging up to force them out of work is not. She forgets that the easiest and only fair way to keep the Page 3 girl out of your home is to choose not to buy the paper, and she is blaming the Page 3 girls for men's actions.

More deeply, she is typical of the modern woman who believes women should have all rights except one, the right of sex, which means: the right to use and enjoy the benefits of your beauty. Quite often it is supposed feminists who see women as mere objects, as rightless creatures in the way of their desire to run things instead of as individuals capable of making their own choices. Healthy people, people who do not want to force every member of their sex into submission, see Page 3 girls as sex symbols, not sex objects.

The concept of sex symbol came about in the 1960s and 70s as a result of the new found freedoms women began to enjoy in that era, freedoms that included work, education, and sex. Today "sex symbol" has been mostly replaced by "sex object" in common jargon. The problem is: while "sex symbol" happily shouts that female sexuality is an instrument of change, freedom, and enlightenment, "sex object" implies that all a woman can be is a tool for sex. They are completely opposite concepts, and whichever label you apply to sexy women, "sex symbol" or "sex object", is becoming crucially important.

The awesome power that women have to inspire admiration through their beauty and to create life with their sexuality is probably the most feared and controlled human quality on earth, and women have always been distrusted, persecuted, and murdered over it, often by other women. Inevitably, whatever untruth society accepts to justify taking away women's right of sexuality will be used to justify taking away all their rights. For example, fundamentalist Muslims have come to believe (wrongly) that female sexuality corrupts men and inspires sexual assault and they use this belief to force women out of professions like medicine and education and forbid them to have any job where they might have contact with men. In such places women have been stripped of their rights, ripped out of workplaces and schools, denied proper medical care, and forced to live behind closed doors in private homes where they serve as little more than breeding cows. By losing their sexual freedom these women have lost all their freedoms. They have been reduced to sex objects.

Page 3 girls, on the other hand, are sex symbols. Page 3 symbolizes the freedom that women have only gained in the last half century: the freedom to be beautiful and enjoy it. It's an unprecedented and monumental achievement. We were saddened recently by the death of Mаrgаrеt Thаtchеr, whose time as Brіtіsh Prіmе Minister is hailed as the epitome of female achievement in the modern world. As much as we respect the Irоn Lаdy we must disagree. The height of female achievement in the modern world is Page 3. Seriously, there have been many capable and powerful female leaders of countries over the millenia. But there has never been a sexy woman smiling proudly, freely, and happily accepted as part of our daily lives until now. Thе Pаgе 3 girl symbolizes the highest height of female freedom ever achieved and the most open acceptance of the power of female sexuality by any people on earth.

Britains should be immensely proud of the Page 3 girl and should protect her as they would their own daughter. The desire of many people to take away her rights and freedoms and reduce her - or any woman - to a mere sex object is what we need to protect our children and families from. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: how about them apples?

We learned something from Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn. Hayley-Marie is one of those rare models who enjoys being nude. Men love being naked, and have since we were 3 years old. So we can tend to forget that women often don't share our love of nakedness. Perhaps this is why men originally invented pin up photography: so we could experience the sight of a woman who loved being naked too. These days, pin up is enjoying a modest revival: many models and photographers are revisiting the classic settings and poses. But there is something missing from the modern pin up re-makes. It's something Hayley-Marie exudes in her photos, especially when she is naked. And when we look at our own pics of her we learn why pin up was so popular in its day. The women in those photos experienced joy. They were not just pretending to be in ecstasy feeling the sea air on their naked bodies, they truly loved it! They were not just posing, they really were running along the beach completely nude. As silly as some of those old pin up photos were, whatever crazy things the ladies in those photos were doing - those models really meant it! We learned this from Hayley-Marie, who to this day is the only model who can do pin up and make us believe it. She makes us believe it is truly wonderful to pick apples stark naked. And there is no beauty quite like it. It's the beauty of someone enjoying life, the way small children do, or kittens. In fact, seeing Hayley-Marie smile is almost as much fun as being naked ourselves. More...

Katy and Karmen: catfight

Yes we did another catfight set. Somehow we find them irresistible. Why? If someone could tell us we'd be happy to learn. It's a chance to see women naked of course, if they manage to rip each other's clothes off, but the attraction we have for that is obvious, and there's something deeper and more delicious about a catfight than women simply posing nude. And then there's the theory that the ladies might kiss which is given to us in the Seinfeld episode that features a catfight between Elaine and Rаqυеl Wеlch (which harkens back to Raquel's catfight scene in Onе Mіllіоn Years B.C.) But that seems unlikely, and again, a fight is not needed to show 2 naked women kissing. Perhaps then our attraction to a good catfight is less sexual than we might suppose. Maybe we like them simply because we get to see women being manhandled without being in any real danger, or it's a chance for we men to rescue 2 damsels in distress at once by breaking it up. But we think the most likely explanation is that it's a primal sexual need we humans have to find the best sexual partner we can, and for we men, that means a woman who can kick ass and show it equally well.

Whеn Gіrl Guides attack

In any truly modern society women are allowed to make career choices - and sexual choices - for themselves. Yet many people want to take us back to the dark ages by taking this power away from women. Indeed, the places where this is happening - as well as the people and organizations involved - might surprise you. Women are being publicly attacked and even murdered across the entire spectrum of the modern world, from the pages of newpapers in our most advanced countries like Grеаt Brіtаіn, to the main square of more primitive places, like Nеw Gυіnеа.

For example in today's news some Gіrl Gυіdеs are attacking the Page 3 models who regularly appear topless in Brіtіsh Nеwspаpеrs.

We all know there is no evidence that images of beautiful nude women hurt girls or society, in fact there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Sexual freedom for women has been proven over and over to increase respect for women, to expand their career opportunities in all areas, and reduce sexual crimes against them. So one wonders if things like facts and proof are part of the Gіrl Gυіdе program or philosophy. "I believe it is wrong for women to be reduced to mere sexual objects in a family newspaper." This from a 17-year-old Gіrl Gυіdе organizer. It would seem they are learning that feelings and unfounded beliefs are enough to justify attacking other women.

If so, then teaching young girls that Page 3 hurts them will not only corrupt their minds and spirit by establishing beautiful successful women as their enemy, it will also hurt real grown women, not only the models who stand to lose their careers, but all women, women who will become even more restricted in their careers and sexual choices by the laws and conventions that result.

It seems to us the Gіrl Gυіdеs have been transformed under our noses from an institution dedicated to teaching girls that success for women is a beautiful thing to teaching them that beautiful successful women are the enemy - that being something special or having purpose in life is a bad thing, and that pettiness and ganging up to destroy the women who have made choices we wouldn't is the proper way to be in life.

If indeed the Gіrl Gυіdеs are doing this it is an immense betrayal of all women everywhere and anyone who cares about their daughters, young women or women in general should contact the Gіrl Gυіdеs immediately and pull any support away from them until they apologize and reverse their position publicly. If we are right, then it has become an institution dedicated to destroying women.

This might sound severe until you hear about another incident - happening right now - of a society ganging up on beautiful women happening in Pаpυа Nеw Guniea. From the Amnеsty Intеrnаtіоnаl action alert: "There is a seriously injured woman being held in captivity by villagers in Sоυthеrn Bоυgаіnvіllе, Pаpυа Nеw Guinea, with her two daughters. The villagers believe she is a sorcerer...Hеlеn Rυmbаlі, a women's rights advocate and former school teacher, was beheaded in front of her community in Pаpυа Nеw Guinea after she and her sister suffered three days of unspeakable torture."

Violent crimes against accused witches is actually protected by law in Nеw Gυіnеа. In other words, "witch burnings" (as we call them) are legal.

If you ever wonder how a society can degenerate so far as to butcher beautiful successful women right in the town square with everyone watching and cheering, and no one speaking up to stop it, you are being given a clue right now by some of the Gіrl Gυіdеs in Grеаt Brіtаіn who are attacking Page 3. Page 3 girls are arguably the most visible powerful and successful women around. But who is going to go against the Gіrl Gυіdеs?

Public executions of powerful women can only happen when sanctioned by absolutely everyone in the society that commits them. Therefore it is quite surprising - horrifying really - when you realize it means even the victims' loved ones, husbands, boyfriends, little sisters, fathers, mothers, employers, best friends, churches, businesses, intellectuals, criminals, leaders support murdering them, visciously, in cold blood, for the "crime" of having a will of their own, which means for standing up for themselves, their freedom, and their sexuality.

How can this be you ask?

How indeed.

We seem to remember that it was also a teenage girl who started the Sаlеm Wіtch Hunts by pointing out that certain women were violating our moral code. What we really need then is to change our moral code from one that condemns and distrusts beautiful successful women to one that teaches young women that freedom of choice in all matters sexual or career is a culture's highest ideal, and that Page 3 actually personifies that.

We wait patiently - but without much hope - for the Gіrl Gυіdе's petition protesting public executions of accused witches in Nеw Gυіnеа.

In the meantime, here is a set of Petula in full command of her freedom, her career, and her body, for anyone still capable of loving such a wonderous if increasingly rare sight. More...

Helga: can I help you?

Spring is in the air, and if you live in a town of any decent size you'll probably start noticing the nurseries and garden centers in your area opening for business soon. The thing these places all have in common, aside from the flagstones and mulch and flowerbeds is the staff. For some reason, gorgeous college-aged girls flock to these summer jobs in droves, donning their little aprons and workgloves and cheefully start ringing up giant bags of peat moss for a winter-weary public anxious to bring their gardens to life. Why these girls don't spend their summers waitressing (where they'd earn better tips) or modelling for that matter, is a mystery. But whatever the reason, we're glad they're there. They bring a splash of beauty to a very perfunctory job, and more than one grumpy husband being ordered to pick out a slat of azaleas has found his spirits lifted by the attentions of a pretty employee. So next time you're at the garden center, check out the prettiest, sweetest, nicest signs of spring they have - their staff. More...

Damianne: grey day

It was a grey, misty morning the day we first shot Damianne. We had only just met, and we wanted to do a quick set to warm up, both for her sake and for ours. It can be a little strange for all involved, to meet a woman for the first time and then moments later have her stand naked in front you. So we wanted to give everyone a chance to ease into the shooting we had planned for the day. Maybe if it had a bright, sunny morning we would have felt livelier or more energized, but with pale light coming into the usually bright room it was hard to think of cheerfulness and levity. It quickly became apparent, though, that beauty has a power over us that we never give it credit for. As soon as Damianne started posing, even the mere act of her leaning against a wall, or stretching out a long, elegant leg, or arching her graceful back made us feel lighter, brighter, somehow more alive. She seemed to glow from within, regardless of how grey it was outside. Whether it was her creamy skin, the sensuous glow in her intelligent eyes, or simply the graceful way she knew how to shape her beautiful body, she filled that small, pale room with light. We've always thought beauty was a kind of beacon in the dark, lighting the way for lost souls, but it can also lift your spirits when things are merely quiet and grey, not good but not bad, middling in that dull way that can lull you into apathy. Let beauty be that for you when the grey days cloud your vision and keep you from seeing the light. More...

Cat - a little razzle dazzle

Life is about the high points. When you die you will not look back at your regrets. Yet how much time do we waste trying to avoid them? Lots. Instead, we should be aiming high and not being afraid to fall short, because after all, it is our successes that make life worth living and remembering. But seeking joy, discovery, amazement, achievement, success, love, and largess is not easy. Life has a way of knocking us back or even down for the count. That is where art comes in. No not the kind of art that you have in your house. Real art is too big for the bit of wall space over your couch. More often real art comes into our homes when we face the other direction, at the TV, specifically in movies, old movies. Old movies are our only art that is brave enough to do what we should do every day: think big, dream, dare, and move, always move. If you look at your life and find it lacking and bereft of excitement, adventure, and well, of things worth remembering, watch an old jazzy movie, preferably something with singing and dancing in it, and lots of glitter and style. That is the real meaning not only of glamour, but of joy, and of life. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: amped

Unplugged was the bomb a few years ago. It seemed every day another rock star was recording their most famous heavy rock hits "unplugged" meaning: slower, softer and without electric amplification. It was a great way to feature the true musicality of the song by showing how it could be styled completely differently and still be a hit. Thе Bеаtlеs actually invented the "unplugged" technique when they redid their mightily surging rock classic "Revolution" as a soft ballad using only an acoustic guitar and 4-way vocal harmonies. But I digress. Female beauty - especially nude female beauty - is generally unplugged, meaning soft and natural, and it got us wondering what the "amped" version would look like. On most nude websites everyone is doing the same-old-same-old over and over, but at bodyinmind.com we're always trying to rattle the cage and do things differently, and not just differently in the sense of resorting to explicit sexuality the way some sites do but new in the sense of featuring the true musicality of female beauty by showing how it can be styled completely differently and still be beautiful. The way we have found - the way we invented - is to put a beautiful woman into a real life situation completely nude to see what natural harmonies we can find. Surprisingly, we always seem to learn something about beauty and about people when we do this. For example when Laura got naked for this rock jam it just seemed right and everyone seemed to groove on the released creative energy. Turns out female beauty amped can be just as inspiring and enlightening as the unplugged version. Sometimes even more so. More...

Carmen: a window on the world

It's amazing what you can see when you actually look. It's an undeniable truth about we human beings that we see what we want to see, and miss the rest. And it goes without saying that if we use only 10% of our brains that we see only 10% of what there is to see in the world. And perhaps this is natural, since simple survival was such a challenge to our caveman ancestors that our brains are wired to see what matters most to us and disregard the rest. But physical survival has been made so much easier these days that our brains have been freed to perceive a lot more than we usually do, beyond our material needs and into the realm of the spiritual. We are able to see things like love, justice, beauty, and even awareness itself. It's no coincidence that science is now discovering that animals are much more aware and sentient that we ever noticed before. We no longer need to see them as food or clothing so we are free to see them more clearly and accurately. The same is true of anything you feel is lacking in the world, be it kindness, creativity, or purpose. They are all there in plain view just as they have always been, but we are still so often blinded by our fear, prejudice, and laziness - all habits that might serve cavemen well, but not us. So the next time you look out of a window or look out over the world just remember you can choose to see what you want to see, and it will likely be there. The world is that cool. More...

Kеlly Hаll: it's better naked

Have you ever noticed that some women look better in clothes and some look better naked? They are all beautiful of course, but some, like fashion models, seem made for clothes, and clothes seem made for them. Take them out of their clothes and somehow they don't seem as glamourous. Take some bikini models out of their swimsuits and they just don't seem as voluptuos as they did on the cover of that magazine. Yes clothes can hide "flaws" or accent a woman's assets but put the same clothes on some other women - curvy and voluptuous women like Kelly - and somehow they fail to make her look any better. The clothes might very well be her size but they just don't "fit". Kelly has the kind of gorgeous body that belongs on a statue in an art museum. Such beauty never looks better covered up; clothes just aren't made for art models. Men often fantasize about a world where women are all naked. But the truth is some women look better naked and some look better dressed. From an aesthetic point of view we're grateful for them all, and certainly from a freedom standpoint women should be able to be as dressed or undressed as they like. But let's not forget that the human body is a bit of a miracle and that dressed or undressed it is worth looking at and enjoying for its own sake. More...

Zoey: a modern greek goddess

Where have all the goddesses gone? No I don't mean the goddesses from ancient Greece or Rome. Or maybe I do. If goddesses are eternal, then they must be somewhere, even today. But look around at the world and tell me if you see any. Are the top actresses today goddesses? Respectfully, no. The top actresses today are verging on little girls with adolescent type physiques. Perhaps models? I don't know about you but the last time any man on the street could name even a single model was decades ago. Surely a goddess would get noticed by the men of the world? Perhaps porn then? For a while porn stars were hitting the mainstream in a big way. But wait, in reality it was only the gooddess-like beauty of Jеnnа Jаmеsоn that made it seem that way. Porn stars never really did make the jump to goddess status. So okay, let's stop being sexist and look into the world of business and politics for our lost goddesses. Maybe one of the major countries of the world has a bright and brilliant female leader or maybe the lastest internet billionaire a fun and feisty broad! Nope. In fact, the only woman I can think of who even resembles a goddess in appearance and popularity is a woman who gained fame by making a public sex tape and who has hung onto it by manufacturing public scandals in her personal life. Let's call her KK. But is KK who you think of when you hear stories about Athena and Aphrodite? It seems the search continues... In the meantime, here's a hint about what to look for in a modern goddess, if you're so inclined, our latest set of Zoey. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: raw beauty

We're always hearing about the modern mother's concern that their daughters are becoming obsessed with beauty. Invariably they blame the media, never themselves, where perhaps they should. Most educated mothers today teach their children that beauty is not important, not good, and not real. The problem with this is that it abandons their daughters to try to understand and deal with beauty issues completely on their own without any guidance at all, and no experience to rely on. So it's not surprising so many girls lose their way. The fact is, beauty is real and all girls possess it in some degree and it will not disappear simply because some mothers might like it to. Instead of passing laws against it or joining this anti-beauty campaign or that one, they should teach their daughters how to be beautiful girls with intelligence and morality. Since it's non-thinking that has caused the problem, it's perfectly predictable that any non-thinking knee-jerk reaction in an attempt to solve it would be just more of the same mistake. Laws and anti-education will only screw their daughters up even more. This is because beauty is inherently important to all of us and not simply a dated social construct as we've been taught. Mothers need to teach their daughters what beauty is, its purpose, its importance. They need to help them put beauty in its raw natural place in the hierarchy of values in life. But before they can do that, they need to learn it themselves. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: it's a jungle out there

Heard about anyone risking their life to save a beautiful woman lately? Everyday in the news we hear about beautiful women being attacked, killed, and mutilated, but we never hear about someone getting hurt trying to protect them do we? Have you ever wondered why Prіncе Chаrmіng, Kіng Kоng and Qυаsі Mоdо defended the woman they found most beautiful? Indeed, they might seem outright insane by today's standards. Today we're taught beauty is at best a happy accident, that it has no real value, that it is merely a genetic vestige of our caveman past, and that to take it seriously is nothing more than scientific ignorance, superficial flattery of oneself or others, and always in bad taste. It's no wonder then that those who posses it are so visciously attacked is it? And that no one ever defends them these days. Prіncе Chаrmіng, Kіng Kоng and Quasi modo were willing to die for beauty because they knew that you can't live without it - without it, they just wouldn't be themselves. It turns out that beauty tells us all what we really are. That is its natural purpose, not sex or selling, but self-realization. We all find beautiful exactly what we need to, whatever will help us in life to be who we want to be or to achieve what we want to achieve it is that thing that we will inevitably find beautiful. We don't need crystal balls or fortune tellers, psycho-analysts or teachers to guess at what beauty shows us every day: how to be yourself. In a way, it's like we are all of us so uniquely special that we each get our own little omniscient beauty god telling us exactly what we need and what we should do. It's so simple really: move towards what you find beautiful and you will be fine. It's always true and works for everyone. What then if we choose to despise beauty and destroy its wisdom? Our aforementioned heroes were willing to risk their lives rather than let it go. Do you think you can live without beauty? Well, unless you are already loving and defending the thing you find most beautiful, then you are already risking your life to find out, aren't you? More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: fun at home

As fans of bodyinmind.com know we don't feature sexual themes in our photography or videos. As we explained to a business associate the other day, bodyinmind.com is sexy, not sexual. It's not that we have anything against sex, the exact opposite is actually true. We LOVE sex, so much so that we find it much too personal to be shared in public. It's not that public sex isn't fun, it's that sex with the one you love is much better than fun, it's ecstasy! Nevertheless, no one can deny that beauty and sex often go together. In fact, it's our view that beauty inspires all the things that make great sex possible: it makes you try to be the best person you can be and it allows you to be attracted to those good qualities in another person, it makes the physical body something spiritual to be admired, and it makes love something physical to be enjoyed. So it's no wonder that being naked makes us all sexually playful, or that beauty like Rachelle's is always so much fun to look at. We definitely want to tell everyone on bodyinmind.com that it's perfectly fine and fun to enjoy your sexuality, and that beauty and sex do go together - that beauty without sex is like food without nutrition or a well-stocked fridge without a door. We'll let Rachelle open the door for you, but what you find inside we'll leave up to you. :-) More...

Karmen: just plain beautiful

We've been accused of being egomaniacs at least a few times here at bodyinmind.com, and here's an idea that will certainly get our detractors all worked up: bodyinmind.com is actually the cog-pin holding modern civilization together. Have you ever wondered why the world hasn't gone completely to shit? Have you ever wondered what's keeping that from happening? Is it religion or greed that gets us out of bed even while the latest news provides us with every reason not to? Is it humanitarianism or the possibility of love that keeps us civil even though 99% of the people we encounter every day are assholes? Or maybe there's some kind of unknown momentum that keeps it all moving forward? The reality is, civilization is nothing more than an ongoing battle between those of us who love the good in people and hate the bad, and those who hate the good and love the bad. The "good" in people is our minds and our bodies: our minds discover and invent the things we need to live (our values) while our bodies create and enjoy them. Our values include many things but perhaps the two most important are reason and romance. Reason is belief in the value of thinking, while romance is belief in the value of sex. Today many people are trying to destroy our faith in reason and our love of sex by convincing us that they are mutually exclusive. Reason, they tell us, is irrelevant to our day-to-day lives (which means the physical world), and sex, they say, is a mindless animal act (which means un-intellectual). But in fact thinking is vital to every single thing we do (most especially in a confusing physical world!) and sex is our greatest reward for living - and thinking - well. The world today is trying hard to separate the mind from the body, our values from sex, ideas from nudity, and thinking from beauty because it is trying to destroy itself. There can be no human life without both and bodyinmind.com is the only one we know of actively trying to keep them together. Whеn BіM goes the world will go. You can count on it. And that is the thought that makes our detractors smile. More...

Damianne: I Spy

Sо Jаmеs Bond is 50 years old, apparently. Whіlе Bоnd himself has gone through many incarnations, from the incomparable Connery to the mystifying choice of Rоgеr Mооrе to today's Dаnіеl Crаіg, only the character himself has remained constant. And so have his women, specifically his arch-nemesis women. Bond's cold war hotties were usually Soviet spies like Anyа Amаsоvа and Tаtіаnа Rоmаnоvа, cunning and beautiful women who started out as mortal foes but ended up flinging themselves at Bond with girlish glee. In comparison to the staid and efficient Mіss Mоnеypеnny, these ladies were dynamic and exotic and dangerous. And yet they were, at heart, beautiful and ultra feminine young women. In many ways, these female spies were a glimpse at what mid-century men secretly longed for in a woman. They had beauty and brains, charisma and determination, competence and know-how, but femininity and sexuality above all else. The fact that they all ultimately threw over their evil spymasters in order to sail off with Bond shows that they were pro-value deep down, too, and capable of love. That's why we still love them 50 years on, and likely always will. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: country lane

Recently, a media commentator said that photos of nude women were a sign of a 'backward' and 'primitive' society. This is the kind of comment that gets nods of approval from most, and it manages to guilt people into stopping to consider whether it might be true. It isn't even close to being true. And it's vital to understand why. Any society in which a beautiful, nude young woman can freely and easily wander about outside without risk to her personal safety or freedom can hardly be called 'primitive'. Just look around at the truly primitive societies that threaten world peace right now - in these places, even fully clothed women are in danger of their lives every day, merely for being born women. In other places, a thin veneer of law and order protects women but beneath the surface lie predators of all sorts, who would think nothing of attacking any woman they found attractive. Compare that with the reality behind this photo shoot - Lаυrа Chrіstіnа walked around naked in a public place, in front of a male photographer and assistant and the many who walked by but didn't interfere, and was completely and utterly safe, protected and respected. She wasn't arrested, censured, attacked or even insulted. And there are very, very few societies left in which that would be allowed to happen. To call such a place 'backward' or 'primitive' is blatantly wrong. It's attitudes like that of the commentator that plunge us back into the dark ages, and must be challenged if we are going to hold on to the freedoms we cherish so much. More...

Helga: don't rob yourself of joy

Why are beautiful non-sexual images of young women becoming rare these days? Believe it or not it has a lot to do with file sharing and file download services that operate outside the law. It is crucially important that any human society get it right when they decide what is or isn't illegal in their industries. When they get it wrong and allow criminal behaviour into any industry - such as the rampant theft they have allowed in the entertainment industry - then that industry begins to attract only thieves and criminals. For example, if murder was made legal in farming, would the most successful farmers be the ones who grew the most food or would it be the ones willing to kill other farmers and take their crops? Similarly, when a government allows a crime such as theft to be legal in the entertainment industry, then the person who succeeds in that area stops being the most talented, creative, ingenius, innovative or hardest working, and instead becomes the biggest thief or criminal organizations. Due to the lack of workable laws file theft is rampant in the entertainment industry today, from movies to photography, and most countries are reacting by passing laws that protect the thieves, not the victims. This is why innocent nude images are disappearing on the web. Do you really think images of joy are a priority for thieves and criminals? Have a look around the internet and count how many images you see of women having sex - or wanting to - versus how many images like these ones of Helga truly enjoying being a beautiful young woman you can find, and you will see that when you rob others of their intellectual property by sharing or downloading files illegally you are really robbing yourself of joy.

Petula: imagine a woman

Imagine walking into a museum and seeing an ad for an exhibit entitled simply "woman". What would immediately come to mind? Your answer to that question will probably tell you a lot about yourself. If you take the abstract meaning and imagine that it would be some sort of retrospective of female humanity from cave times to now, you're probably among the university-educated post-feminist crowd who think of womanhood as one long, torturous struggle for equality and recognition through adversity and pain. If on the other hand you imagine an exhibit featuring a living, breathing, beautiful example of female humanity like Petula, for example, then you're a lot more pro-value than your feminist contemporaries. If you would like to see the female body respected and admired, and if you think that it's appropriate to use a beautiful woman to represent all women, everywhere, then you're the kind of person who thinks in superlatives, and isn't afraid to insist on the best. If you had to choose one woman to represent them all, who would you choose, and why? Petula may represent your ideal woman, but even if she doesn't, her beauty and the values it represents still make her an ideal candidate for such an exhibit. And if you recognize that truth, you're well on the path to living the best life possible for any man. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: our valentine

Remember when you were in grade 3? Back then, every kid in the class gave a valentine card to every other kid, or at least to lots of other kids. It wasn't a declaration of romantic love. It was a gesture of friendship. No one knew who you really liked, or loved, so you could give a valentine to everyone, including the girl or boy you really liked without risking an outright declaration of love. We need more things like that in the modern world. Today love is what everyone wants, but noone wants to get caught giving. How can love flourish in a world like that? It can't. So this St. Vаlеntіnе's Dаy, why not give a card or other small token of affection to whoever it is that you love, and don't worry if they like you back or not. Perhaps then we'll all be closer to remembering that the value of love is not getting something so much as it is to experience admiration for another human being. As you get older, leave school, and live an adult life, that is what you experience less and less in life. We always hear that love is selfless, but we can't disagree more. Love is selfish, supremely so. We love those who inspire us to admire them. Our love is not a gift to such people. It is a gift that they give to us. So this holiday we just want to say Hаppy Vаlеntіnе's Day to Rhіаn Sυgdеn and all our BiM models! Which one do we love the most? Well, that's our little secret isn't it? ;-) More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: the lost set

It's a photographer's worst nightmare: after a great day of shooting, you get home to discover one of your memory cards is missing. You swore you took eight of them, now there are only seven, and you realize with a sinking feeling that one of your sets is now lost. This is what happened to us when we shot with Hayley-Marie. It was heartbreaking to lose images of Hayley, and absolutely crushing to realize that the card that went missing contained the last half - i.e. the full nude - portion of the set. We were going to just chuck the whole lot, but in going over these photos we found them so charming and so delightfully Hayley-Marie that we thought her fans might enjoy this bonus gallery of the images that did survive that day. So we're publishing this set in addition to the other full sets this week. We think Hayley is so gorgeous and so fun that even half a set of her is worth it, and we hope you'll think so too. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: bombshell

Every woman has an inner bombshell. For example, one of the reasons Mаrіlyn Mоnrое, Brіgеttе Bаrdоt, and Fergie from the Blаck Eyеd Peas are so popular is not just because men love how sexy they are but because women love it too! These celebrities were and are exceptionally talented at letting their inner bombshells out, and they make women all over the world wish that they could do it too. As photographers, our goal is always to make our models as comfortable as possible so that they too might let their inner diva shine. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Women are so often chastised in the modern world for being sexy or sexual that few are willing to do it at all, let alone with the exuberant self-embracing abandon that makes everyone, men and women alike, stop and watch with a wistful smile and a pleasant longing for the kind of self-love and bravery it takes to enjoy one's own nudity and sexuality in that way. Perhaps this is why the women who do it are affectionately called bombshells. All it takes is one explosive moment of glorious self-expression for all of our tired reasons for not being sexier to shatter and our morbid seriousness about sex to disappear in a puff of smoke. Somehow we achieved just such a moment with Pеytоn Prіеstly on our most recent shoot with her. Normally a reserved but happy girl, Peyton suddenly threw off her inhibitions and vamped for the camera as we've never seen her do before. For those too few moments Peyton was a total bombshell in the full meaning of the word, and we are all lucky sons and daughters of bitches to live in the same world with such beauty. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: right between the eyes

When we cast Lаυrа Chrіstіnа in the new movie Kаt Mаndυ's "Rіght Bеtwееn the Eyes", we knew we had style her outfit for the film perfectly. It had to be period, of course, suitable for a woman of the Old Wеst, so we had to come up with corsets and stockings and a big puffy skirt. But it had to be sexy, as well - and again, the corset filled that role, and so did the stockings. And because Kаt Mаndυ is (spoiler alert!) acutally a US Marshall, we had to provide her with a badge and her weapons of choice, in this case a darling little Derringer and a shiny silver six shooter. Once we put it all together and got her into makeup, we cast a discerning eye over our new Kаt Mаndυ and realized that the most important part was still to come. Kat appears nude in the film, and it was important that Laura's costume was the sort that could be easily stripped out of without losing its authenticity. So we had Laura go through some poses as Kаt Mаndυ, showing off the sultry, sexy side of the sworn lawwoman. This may not be the outfit she ends up with in the final film, but it certainly gives new meaning to the word "teaser". Enjoy! More...

Kеlly Hаll: squeaky clean

This summer, Bodyinmind will be going to Britain for a few weeks of photoshoots with some of the country's most beautiful glamour models. The reason we've chosen Britain, as opposed to more tropical locales or more majestic panoramas is simple: we're going there for the climate. Not for the weather (heavens no) but for the cultural climate that exists there, particularly as regards beautiful women. Topless models have been a staple of UK tabloids for decades, and despite the odd rumblings from malcontented femininst types who want to see them vanish, it has led to a climate of general acceptabtility and appreciation for the female form that is unequalled anywhere else in the world. In the US, nudity is greeted with hysteria and fines from the FCC, and while our home country of Canada is not nearly so fanantical about it, the idea of posing nude is still largely looked down upon by models who live here. We find it so refreshing to work with models like Kеlly Hаll, who are bubbly and bright, happy and pleasant, and who have no hangups or issues with the work she does. We love her professionalism and her forthrightness, and we can't wait to shoot her ourselves. While some models make you feel dirty and shameful for shooing nudes, Kelly and others like her remind us how natural and even wholesome nude photos can be. In other words, she makes us feel squeaky clean. So keep an eye out for our series from Britain starting this summer, and see if you agree that Britannia absolutely rules them all! More...

Helga: bridge of sighs

There's a bridge in Venice, Italy called the Bridge of Sighs. It links a prison and an interrogation room in the old Doge's palace, and apparently got it's name from Lоrd Byrоn, who imagined prisoners sighing at their last sight of the beauty of Venice before they were imprisoned forever. As fanciful as this description may be, Byron got at least one thing right: in the depths of despair, and when all hope seems lost, beauty is one of the only things that can sustain the spirit and help you through the dark night. And the very best kind of beauty is that of the female variety. Men can live on the hope of finding their dream woman for many years, and can endure all measure of heartache and hard work to achieve her. Even when his youth fades and his dreams of young love flitter away, he can still console himself with the sight of beautiful women who reawaken in him thoughts of the possibilities life holds. You never really grow old, not in spirit at least, as long as you can still respond to the sight of a beautiful young woman and feel alive. You are never truly lost as long as you can look at someone like Helga and sigh. Maybe your prison is one of your own making, or maybe you see the world you've grown up into as a sort of cell, but as long as you have beauty, beckoning to you with gentle giggles and soulful sighs, you can still dream of a better life and find a way to achieve it.

Katy and Karmen symmetry

"Ok girls, we're going to do a serious art set now. Stop giggling." This is how we tried to start this shoot with Karmen and Katy. They both loved the idea, and both offered suggestions and ideas for how they could mirror each other's poses and create interesting art photos. But once they got together, the giggling just never stopped. Karmen would compose herself and then Katy would burst out laughing, or Katy would strike a noble, artful pose and Karmen would pinch her bum. Their mirth was infectious, and soon everyone on set was laughing along with them. So while this is supposed to be a serene, very serious art study, in the end we got a set that was half art and half goofing around. But it's all beauty after all. Reality and art go together just as beautifully as Katy and Karmen do. And there's a certain symmetry to that. More...

Zoey: Are YOU cool?

Rеmеmbеr Pіnky Tuscadero? No? Ask anyone over 40 who she is and they'll tell you that she is the Fonz's girlfriend from the old Hаppy Dаys tv series. Thе Fоnz was hands down the coolest dude - ever. "Cool" in the 1950's meant you wore a leather jacket, rode a Triumph motorcycle, and you got all the chicks. In fact, all the Fonz had to do to have chicks crawling all over him was snap his fingers. It was meant to be humorous and it was. But it became serious when the Fonz finally met his match in a woman, Pіnky Tυscаdеrо. She wore a pink leather jacket, rode a pink motorcycle, and was the toughest chick in town. She was most definitely NOT every guy's dream woman. But she was the Fonz's. Today we want you guys out there to consider finding your own Pіnky Tυscаdеrо. No not the Fоnz's Pіnky, yours. Instead of trying to attract women by being a drone who is considered "cool" by today's standards, try finding a woman who suits you uniquely the way Pinky suited the Fonz. If you're an artist find a girlfriend who is an artist rather than an art model. If you're an athlete find a girl who plays sports, not a cheerleader. If you're a mathematician, find a woman who loves numbers for their own sake, rather than a woman who only counts money. And if you're a businessman, find a businesswoman. Trust me, when you find the woman who is just like you sparks will fly. But finding your perfect match will take more than snapping your fingers. It will take a mind shift. Are you cool enough to do it? Thе Fоnz was. More...

Damianne rocks nudes

We all like taking pictures in nature, and there are certainly some spectacular vistas out there that augment the beauty of the nude. But we tend to disagree with the ethos that prefers naked girls cavorting in wheat fields as though they are lost little sheep too stupid to know their way home. We think there's nothing more uplifting that placing nature at the foot of man, not the other way around. We are the only species that shapes nature to our needs instead of adjusting to whatever circumstances we find ourselves in, after all. It's important, then, to remember that the man-made world, which is often just as awe-inspiring as mother nature's, should take precedence. Damianne is a perfect example of what comes of a man-made world - she is healthy and vibrant, strong and happy largely because she lives in a modern, comfortable, safe world of man's devising. If left to mother nature's cold grasp, she probably wouldn't live past 30 and her beauty would have been ravaged by disease, malnutrition and the rigors of childbearing. She is naturally beautiful, yes, but only because the world she lives in gives her the luxury of being so. This is why we chose to shoot her not in amongst towering boulders on some desolate shore, but rather with rocks at her feet. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: the lure of lingerie

What is the lure of lingerie for men? When it comes to sex most men would honestly rather women wore nothing at all, so why do men get so excited about Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt catalogs? The lure of lingerie for men is undeniable, but to understand it you have to realize that lingerie is much more than underwear. Underwear is not meant to be seen. It is utilitarian and decidedly not romantic. It is meant to keep our bodies from dirtying our clothes, to correct flaws in our figures, or supply support for our outerwear. This is not the purpose of lingerie. And even though it was inspired in form by some of the more comely types of underwear like corsets, bras, and garters it was also conceived of in response to our desire to see a woman without clothes in an acceptable way. So gradually, lingerie became even more fine, fancy and frilly than most outerwear. Somewhat ironically, lingerie was meant to legitimize a woman's nudity. This is the reason men like it. Women like lingerie because it's fun and makes them feel sexy. But men love it because it allows us to fantasize that lingerie is all the clothing women would ever need. ;-) More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: shows what she wants

We recently removed all the photos by a certain photographer at bodyinmind.com. We don't want to give him any free publicity by mentioning his name, but this particular photographer proved to be such a reprobate that we are sorry that we featured his photos for as long as we did. They featured such lovely ladies that we just assumed he was a good guy. Not so. His website was promoting a few "art" nude sites but NOT bodyinmind.com. It's always a bad sign when someone disrespects those who respect them. When we asked him why, he told us it was because those other sites featured only models with their legs spread wide open and that he considered such sites to be more "honest" about female sexuality than bodyinmind.com. We laughed to ourselves at this. When was the last time anyone got rich being honest. We're amazed when people think tasteless production line nude sites are about anything more than making money. Meanwhile bodyinmind.com has always shown precisely as much or as little as a model wants to show. We feel sorry for anyone who is willing to forget that women have minds, souls, and spirits in exchange for money or a peep at a body part. But we'll be damned if we take their money or feature their photos. If you love women and female sexuality, then spend your money at bodyinmind.com, the only nude pay site with honesty and integrity and true respect for women. More...

Kеlly Hаll: the perfect woman

According to a survey by Mеn's Hеаlth, here are the 11 things that make up the perfect woman:

1. You laugh at their jokes
2. You're 2-4 years younger than they are
3. You have a nice smile
4. You have big breasts
5. You have long legs
6. You have your own career and money
7. You have little feet
8. You're educated
9. You wear red
10. You have narrow hips
11. You have brown hair

As you can imagine, this list has created howls of protest from both men and women, who argue that this list is composed mostly of physical characteristics and things that ultimately don't matter when it comes to finding a life partner. But on closer inspection, it's worth noting a few things. First, this list never said 'the perfect girlfriend/wife/best friend/life partner". If that were the case, most men would certainly insist on other qualities. This list asked men to imagine, to fantasize in fact, about their perfect woman. This is a purely abstract exercise, asking men to imagine what such a creature would look like and be like in the most general terms. If you asked women to describe their perfect man, the list would be remarkably similar in its preference for physical attractiveness, financial stability and sense of humor. We can't deride people for fantasizing about a truly 'perfect' lover - doing so helps people identify what they value in another person, and helps them seek it out. Secondly, because a list like this is by its very nature abstract and hypothetical, it's understandable that men would list physical attributes so highly. Certain features represent things to a man, as we've mentioned many times. Long legs, big breasts, a nice smile, even the brown hair represent values to a man, things he hopes his lover will actually possess. The idea of a woman wearing red, too, means something - perhaps it means she's sexy and flirtatious, fun and sensual. In the abstract, a list like this is a perfect blueprint for what a man would like to find in a lover. And thirdly, the more we try to tell men (or women for that matter) that they shouldn't desire the physical qualities of the opposite sex the more we send sexuality into a downward spiral of warped desires and twisted expectations. In the end, this list is a fairly innocuous representation of the things men love about women, and should be respected for that reason alone. More...

2012 Body in Mind candids and outtakes #3

Bodyinmind.com is a small site, one of the few self-sustaining tasteful nude websites in Canada. But even though we are small we are still one of the most influential in the world. There have been many examples over our 15 years but the most recent one we've noticed is candids, outtakes and behind the scenes photos being released as content. To our knowledge Bodyinmind.com was the first photo pay site ever to do this, and today pay sites all over the world are copying us. One of the reasons we were first to do it is because our models actually enjoy working with us and it shows in their photos. The world is a playground and having fun is always more important on our shoots than making money, so we actually end up with lots and lots of extra fun shots. And unlike other sites we hate to repeat ourselves, so we're always shooting something different and more interesting than everyone else. But perhaps the main reason everyone seems to like our candids so much is the models themselves. Even though we're small Bodyinmind.com attracts the most beautiful women in the world, women who are beautiful inside and out, and as charming off camera, as they are on. It's for all of these reasons that Bodyinmind.com's candid sets were the first, and are still the best anywhere. More...

Lаυrа Chrіstіnа: get your own groupie

We've all heard the expression "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll" - to which we want to add a fourth: beautiful women. Rock'n'roll has always attracted its share of starry eyed beauties, all clamoring to be that one woman in the crowd that the lead singer notices and invites backstage. No self-respecting rocker would be caught between sets without a least a few gorgeous girls dr4pеd all over him - in fact, the frequency with which young babes throw themselves at rock stars is usually the number one reason guys all want to become one. So what's the attraction? Sure, there's money and fame, but rich CEO's have those and you don't see teenage girls lining up to strip for those guys. One of the main reasons is that musicians, like athletes and movie stars, are talented at something. They can create songs that melt the heart, or rock the soul, inspire and entertain. And only the very best of the best (or luckiest of the luckiest) achieve stardom in the world of professional music, so that sets them apart as truly special men as well. And lastly, rock stardom fairly oozes with sexuality and abandon, and as we've seen countless times, anything that allows women to be sexual - and be appreciated for it - is welcomed by women whether they know the reason or not. So what can a non-rock star man learn from this? Use your unique talents to impress a woman, and once she's interested, allow her to embrace her sexuality without double standards, societal expectations, or guilt. If you do, you'll have your own 'groupie' all over you before you can say "stairway to heaven." More...

Karmen megaset: the spectrum of female freedom

Actrеss Annе Hathaway's "muff" slip the other day demonstrates in its own tawdry way the principle that women feel free to be naked the more the men around them have character. In short: play it cool guys, and naked women will appear all around you. Sounds a little too simple to be true but it is. In the U.S. women are mostly free to dress as they like and have romantic and sexual relations as they like. This is the result of mankinds's discovery and implementation of the principle of individual rights and freedoms and its extention to women. This took character. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum we see women completely stifled by sharia law and religious fundamentalists all over the world who deny women the right to education, force them to stay indoors, force them to marry men they don't love, beat them when they have female babies instead of males, throw acid on them when they are attractive, burn them to death for having boyfriends, and stone them to death for having sex. Obviously this reveals a complete lack of character in the men involved. The spectrum of female freedom has glamorous goddesses at one end and women as sex slaves at the other. Countries in which actresses flash themselves to the media are more civilized, better educated, and freer for women than the countries where women who accidentally show a bare arm are disfigured with acid. Most people don't need to learn this but they do need to learn why. Certainly it would be more glamorous if celebrities could simply dress or undress as they like and not have to give "sneak peaks" to garner publicity? But this will only happen when the paparazzi start respecting women's right to be naked or clothed on their own terms. And certainly it would be more civilized if half the world wasn't trying to stifle female sexuality and outlaw romance for women? But this will only happen when we all stop pretending that sexually enslaving women is a respectable cultural tradition. It is our hope at bodyinmind.com that by creating photos of women freely nude in the world that we will motivate men to have the character that such an achievement requires. But for now most people have only enough character to generate a pathetic interest in upskirt shots of our favourite actresses. But as we've just seen, even this is better than the alternative.

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: female freedom is male pleasure

The internet was all a-Twitter today due to a girl's birthday card that reads "You're 13 today! If you had a rich boyfriend he'd give you diamonds and rubies. Well maybe next year you will - when you have bigger boobies!" Of course thousands of people rushed to Tweet how wrong such a card is, but after reading many of the attacks it's really hard to tell if the "Twits" who tweeted them have more of a problem with girls becoming women, girls getting presents, or young men liking boobies. Obviously the card creators believe girls have a sense of humor and enough intelligence to know a joke card when they see one. But for some reason the card attackers do not. So we have to ask: do young women really need to be protected from humor, sex, and romance by "society"? To help us decide we note that also in the news today was the story about Afghanistan's 2nd minister of women's affairs being assassinated just as the 1st one was. It's no secret that fundamentalist Muslim movements around the world like the one in Afghanistan are killing young openly sexual women at a record rate for modern times. It's an attempt to turn all women into sex slaves, to keep them at home and out of sight. And since any intelligent woman in politics would speak out against such plans they are being jailed or killed outright. Opponents of the birthday card claim to be against sexism but if this is true then why didn't even one of them speak out against the assassination? What is truly shocking and horrible are the people who think young women are nothing but unthinking, impressionable lumps of mush who will self-destruct without "help" and "protection" from the "evils" of womanhood. Ultimately both the card attackers and the assassins in Afghanistan want to prevent young women from embracing sexuality and romance as a normal part of a young woman's goals. Ask yourself: is agreeing with killers meant to stop them, or encourage them? We offer this playfully sexual and wistfully romantic set of Hayley-Marie as proof that female sexuality when left unfettered leads to nothing more awful than female freedom and male pleasure. And while many "Twits" would say it's sexist, we now know better don't we? More...

Which is sexier? A woman in jeans? Or a woman out of jeans?

Several years ago, Hоwаrd Stеrn offered a random young man the chance to have sex with a porn star. It may have been some sort of contest, or a spontaneous bit of idiocy from the shock jock, but in the process of interviewing the lady it occurred to him to offer some young stud the chance of lifetime. And a young man was found, of course. The disembodied voice of a youthful man filled the airwaves as Howard presented him with the bounty - she's in the next room, go have at it. And what did the young man say when faced with the prospect of meaningless sex with a porn star? "Well," he stammered, "maybe we could go have dinner or something first?" Howard and his cronies roared with laughter and the kid was ushered out. Now given that this was the Hоwаrd Stеrn show the whole thing could have been faked, but it sure sounded real. And it begs the question - why would a young guy, lured into Hоwаrd Stеrn's radio studio with promise of porn-quality sex, suddenly decide he wanted to date the woman first? Was it just nerves? Maybe. Or maybe he was being refreshingly human in his desire to make a connection with a woman, to ease into a physical relationship, and not reduce sex to an anonymous, animalistic act devoid of humanity. The same thing can be said for the enjoyment of nude images. Rather than splash graphic images of genitalia all over our site, we would rather enjoy the slow seduction of getting to know her. We'd rather see the whole woman - her eyes and smile, the way she looks when she thinks no one is watching. Her breasts, yes, and her ass and the triangle between her legs, but her mind too, peering back at us from behind beautiful eyes. In short, the exact opposite of what the Hоwаrd Stеrn's of the world would want. It's up to you to decide whom you relate to more. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: fantasy and fetish

The sexual icons at work in our culture and our lives fall into two categories: fantasy and fetish. By "icons" we mean any imagery that is used and reused over and over for what it represents, for example Mаrіlyn Mоnrое is an icon, and so is Vampirella. Fetish and fantasy are opposites in at least one important way. The icons of men's fantasies - things like sexy nurses, bawdy housewives, or nude angels - are meant to integrate our values and broaden our experience, while the icons of fetish - things like s&m, cross-dressing, or body part obsession - are meant to isolate our values and ultimately limit our experiences. Fantasy makes us hope and dream of happiness. Fetish tries to replace the intensity of joy with the terror of horror. Both fantasy and fetish involve intense emotion and sexual arousal, however, fantasy is healthy while fetish is not. For example, fantasizing about a sexy wife leads a man to work hard and try to improve himself to the point where he could conceivably attract such a woman, while a french maid fetish pretends that all a man has to do to score a desirable sexual partner is to have a messy room. Perhaps the simplest way to look at it is that a fantasy is a plan that might take one's whole life to accomplish, while a fetish is a fantasy that desires the impossible, and all the energy one devotes to it is simply a waste of one's life. This holds true for any example you care to think of, even this photoset. It's Rhіаn that turns us on, not the cookies. More...

Jеss Rоbіnsоn: perfect in pink

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. If that's true, then BiM is just about blushing from all the praise. We are probably the most copied site out there, not only in our choice of models (the Page 3 girls were pretty much only found on Page 3 before we started shooting with them), our theme sets (two weeks after our set of Rhian playing Wii we found video from British lad mags showing girls playing Wii) and our idea of 'lifestyle nudes' (models nude in real life situations), which every site now copies but which we invented first. But perhaps the most telling example of sites imitating us comes from those sites that always claimed to be 100% nude. Guess what has started creeping into their photo sets? Clothes. A skirt here, a bikini there, bit by bit these so-called 'nudes only' sites are starting to discover what we've known all along; the presence of the right clothing can often make a model and photos of her more beautiful. This is because clothes are always a product of the mind and one's mind is one's spirit. Whether you enjoy a slow striptease, or whether you simply like seeing how clothes can emphasize feminine curves, it's clear that a spiritual viewer (one who thinks) isn't scared away by the addition of fabric. And now, it seems, all those sites who've pretended for years that men don't have minds and only want 100% nudity are learning the hard way that we've had it right all along. Frankly, we wonder what took them so long. More...

Helga: skinny dip

The great Lebanese mystic and poet Kаhlіl Gіbrаn said "Beauty is that which attracts your soul and that which loves to give and not to receive". In other words, Beauty is the ideal altruist. In its perfection Beauty reveals the hypocrisy and immorality of all the avowed "altruists" out there who try to "fix" the world by demanding sacrifices. If real beauty asks nothing, does it not follow that real morality asks nothing? For example the "selfless" advocates of "real" beauty (meaning your grandmother's "beauty") demand that we sacrifice our love of truly beautiful women such as sexy glamour models. At the very least they demand that we sacrifice our honesty and integrity by pretending our grandmother is as beautiful as a covergirl. Liberals and conservatives alike claim to be motivated by love for their fellow men but instead of advocating the power of female beauty they work to pass laws to keep women from using it and other people from seeing it. This is why we breathe a sigh of relief when we see photos of a beautiful woman like Helga skinny dipping. She is enjoying her body and her freedom and we receive as much pleasure as she does, perhaps more. And she asks nothing in return. Altruists could learn a real lesson from Helga, and from Beauty in general. And the rest of us can learn a real lesson about the falseness and pettiness of altruism and its demands. We say, let Beauty, not alturism attract your soul, as it always will. More...

Skye is adorable

We often come across model profiles in our work, and they almost always say the same sort of thing: "Don't let my cute smile/pretty face/adorable looks fool you, I might look like an angel but I'm really into dark, edgy, alternative stuff!" It's sad that these women don't understand how conformist they're actually being in their desperate attempts to be non-conformist. It's like getting a tattoo to be 'different'. How 'alternative' can you be if your tastes are exactly the same as everyone else's, if your version of 'cool' is only that which you've seen someone else do? And who doesn't delve into the dark side these days, in the name of 'coolness'? Well, we don't, for one. That makes us the true alternative. We're on the cutting edge of niceness, not nastiness. We wish more girls would embrace their adorable side. We wish they would revel in being cute or charming or just pretty (perish the thought). That's one of the reasons we love Skye - she's vivacious and adorable and happy and all the wonderful things a pretty girl should be. She doesn't try to hide her charm or pretend she's some goth goddess on the fringe. She's just happy being adorable. And we're so very happy that she is. More...

Kеlly Hаll: where lovely lady lumps are the law

Thе Blаck Eyеd Pеаs song "My Hυmps" is a modern anthem about a woman's right to own her hotness, that is: her body and sex appeal. It's a refreshing message - and well-timed - when you condsider these are dark times for women's rights in the world. Never in recent times have women been so unfairly treated for their attractiveness as they are today: parents murdering their daughters for flirting with boys, women's rights activists imprisoned and executed for defending women's right to go out in public, teenage girls punished for being r4pеd while the r4pіsts go free, etc. Unfortunately a song like "My Hυmps" cannot do much against this trend since it's not very philosophical, and like it or not, it is philosophy and its ideas that are put into laws and shape history. In this case, the philosophy hinted at in the song but never made explicit is the idea that force must never be used in the realm of love. In fact, mankind's history of civilization is a slow process of systematically learning to use reason over force in the 3 main social areas of human life: politics, morality, and love. In politics people have gradually learned to cooperate economically rather than resort to war. In ethics people have generally learned to work for a living and produce values rather than simply steal what they want and need. However, in the area of love force still looms heavily and darkly. We have not yet learned to employ romance over force. If we are to have love in our lives we must learn to never force women in or out of sex against their will. We must banish force (with laws if necessary) from politics, morality and love if we humans are ever to be completely civilized. More...

Kiera channels Marilyn

Mаrіlyn Mоnrое is an icon. Marilyn is used by artists and intellectuals as a symbol of everything from the highest innocence of an individual to the worst corruption of society. She represents both the greatest success and the most tragic failure. Marilyn is an important icon for everyone because these things are important to everyone. And we all have our own personal take on her because of it. This allows Marilyn to be a sort of lightening rod for detecting the true character of the new people we meet every day. For example, some people adore Marilyn, and we have seen time and time again that such people turn out to be good people, people who value themselves and their lives and are willing to work hard to be good and successful. Such people love life as Marilyn did so they see enthusiasm in her more than anything else. Other people turn their noses up at Marilyn. Over and over these people turn out to be mean spirited and petty. They are unmoved by Marilyn's joy and beauty and see only the failure of her and of our "shallow" society when they look at her. Marilyn-haters always blame others for their own failures in life, and when it comes right down to it they will even blame Marilyn for it. The second group of people are by far the largest. In fact they are so numerous that it is their negative reaction to her that killed Marilyn in the end. We're sure you yourself have your own view of Marilyn, and we hope it's a good one, because if it is, this set was created for you. More...

Laura C: flying her kite nude

In 1960's movies, the nudist colony was always portrayed as a swinging hot spot, with hep young cats swiveling around to the sounds of the naked five piece band. Nubile young women pranced around with guitars and frisbees, or frolicked in the pool, giggling girlishly while their male counterparts sipped martinis. It was like a cocktail party without the clothes. This was a pure example of wish fulfillment on the part of the male movie makers of the day, who would have loved nothing better than to spend an afternoon or two at Cаmp Sυnshіnе with a bunch of naked happy young women. Reality, sadly, is not nearly so gay. Or rather, it is. The nude beach where we shot this set of Laura is populated almost solely by gay men, with never a naked lady in sight. We wanted to recreate that feeling of simple delight in being naked, and at the same time pay homage to those early directors who so desperately wished that there was place where pretty girls could be playfully nude. So we made it ourselves, as we always do. Mаybе BіM is the only true Cаmp Sυnshіnе, and Laura one of the few happy, pretty nudists you'll ever find. More...

50 shades of Rаchеllе Wіldе

First there was the Twilight phenomenon, with girls and women losing their minds over sexy vampires and werewolves. Now there's "50 Shades of Grey" and it's sequels, a series of books currently captivating practically every breathing woman between 15 and 85. If you're like most men, this is baffling. The book features a sado-masochistic man who enters into a strictly sexual BDSM relationship with a young virgin, and introduces her to the seedier and sadder side of sex. Why on earth would women like this sort of thing, you might ask? Don't they like flowers and babies and romance novels and bride magazines? Wouldn't the average woman haul out and deck you if you told her you wanted to control her every movement and hurt her during sex? It's enough to make a modern man delve into the safer world of the web and forget ever trying to understand women. But in actuality, it's not that hard to understand. Women flock to heroes like Chrіstіаn Grеy for two reasons, primarily; for one thing, it's not socially acceptable for a woman to admit to liking sex, and so anything that gives her implied permission to do so - like a publishing phenomenon that all her friends are reading - is like manna from heaven. Secondly, women love strong, masculine, manly men, and since there are fewer and fewer of such specimens represented in the media and in real life, they are desperate for even the most over-the-top example of him they can find. Perhaps instead of wondering at the success of 50 Shades of Grey, men should question any society or culture that, like our Mr. Grey, limits women to just one type of sexual experience. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: what men want

Another article appeared on the web lately, by a Yahoo! correspondent, that claimed to reveal the "secrets" of what men really want. This is what he means when he says such-and-such, the writer claimed. He won't tell you, but he what he really wants is blah-blah-blah. You, too, can learn Gυy Spеаk and figure out your man! All of this is nonsense, of course. Men don't speak code, they don't hide behind nuance and doublespeak or play games. What men want is pretty simple. A chance to do something they're proud of, and rewards for doing so. Respect and admiration for all their hard work. And probably most importantly, the love of a beautiful woman when they come home. She doesn't have to be drop dead gorgeous like Rhian here, but she has to be warm and sensual, loving and sexy, and beautiful to her man in the thousand little ways that a woman can be. And that's pretty much it. It doesn't seem like a lot to ask, and yet many men go through their whole lives without these things. If you're still looking for your beautiful girl, take solace in the welcoming smiles of women like Rhian who know what men want, who know men appreciate them, and appreciate them right back. More...

She's a delightful British model who came by our studios the night we were shooting her friend Karmen, and from the moment she arrived, her vitality and vivaciousness lifted everyone's spirits. She has an infectious laugh, a mega-watt smile, and twinkling eyes that seem to find humor in everything. She knew how to move her lean, lithe dancer's body with grace and elegance, and she made our jaws drop with her flexibility and acrobatic ability. We asked her to just be herself in this set, and as you can see she practically glowed with playfulness and delight, and could turn on the sultry, sensual looks any time she liked. Shooting her was as close to effortless as we've ever experienced. We know you'll enjoy this little introduction to a model destined to become one of our all-time favorites. More...

Helga: wood nymph

When you hear the word 'nymph', what do you think of? Unfortunately, you probably think 'nympho', as in 'nymphomaniac', a psychiatric term that trickled down into common usage to refer, of course, to a sex-crazy woman. For that reason, it has a somewhat derogatory connotation, and is likely to elicit snorts and snickers. But 'nymphomaniac' comes from the Greek word 'nymph', mythical nature spirits that were represented as beautiful young women. They inhabited lakes and forests, mountains and seas, and were often the lovers or mothers of Greek heroes. Echo was a nymph, and so was Calypso - they weren't quite goddesses, but they were often immortal, and always represented the spritely, ethereal, yet nurturing side of femininity. We think the concept of a nymph is a beautiful one, and shouldn't be misapplied to women in a snidely sexual way. We also think there's no better personification of a sweet and delightful nymph than Helga. Enjoy! More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: naked rain dance

It was the end of a long two-day photo shoot with Hayley-Marie, and we were heading to the airport for her to catch her flight back home. As we drove through the countryside, big plump drops of rain started splasing onto the car windows. "Oh, I've always wanted to do a shoot in the rain!" she said, delighted. It's a pretty rare model who actually wants to shoot in the rain, and so we couldn't pass up the chance. We pulled over and trudged into the fields, covering our equipment as best we could with the old umbrella we had in the car. Hayley slipped out of her clothes and started dancing around, enjoying the warm rain on her body while we snapped away. Her delight was infectious. It was going to ruin her hair, of course, and we didn't have much time to get her to the airport, and a million other reasons why this shoot was less than ideal. But seeing the smile on her face as she pranced around made it all worth it. Too soon we had to pack up and head off, but in that few minutes we all got to remember how much fun it can be to just dance in the rain with total abandon, and how beautiful a woman can be when she's truly loving life.

Damianne - a very socksy girl

We take a lot of heat here at Body in Mind for our blurbs and our ideas. "Gives us the boobs and bums and spare us the speeches" - we get that all the time. So why do we insist on pontificating alongside our photosets when so many people don't like it? Well, simply because so many people don't like it (yes, we are smart asses), but more precisely, because of the kind of people who don't like it, and also because there are so darned many of them. Ask yourself what kind of person hates ideas, what sort of sod refuses to think even when the planet is slowly falling apart around them, and you will hopefully see what we mean and why we try to fight it. So many people are so terrified at what is happening in the world today that they don't want to think about anything at all. They prefer to pretend and laugh at everything no matter how horrible or tragic those things might be. Many of these people take refuge in mindless and immoral forms of sex, since it's easy for them to claim it's just instinct. Nevermind that Body in Mind has proven the value of thinking about sex myriad times in the many pieces we've published over the years. It is precisely the separation of ideas and sex that we wish to make harder for people. Not to make their lives worse but to make them that much better. We believe female beauty and sexuality should never be separated from ideas, and that ideas should never be separated from life or the world. Correct ideas and our minds' ability to grasp them are the only thing that can save us and our world. And this is why as much as some people would like us to drop them we never will. Body in Mind is one of the few things left in the world that is preventing a complete abandonment of ideas. We are proudly one of the rare ramparts between mankind and its destruction. If you doubt it, ask yourself who or what you have seen promoting thinking in the media lately. Who else today is standing up for the value of ideas? The most recent person we can think of is a 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head for doing it. And if she has refused to abandon ideas, how then can we abandon them as so many others have done? And what truly is the motive of those who try to stop her, or us? It is not a motive that any of us can ever give in to. More...

R.I.P Amаndа Tоdd

*A few weeks before her death, Amanda posted a youtube video describing her ordeal. Watch it here:

October 14, 2012 - Do you know who Amаndа Tоdd is? You probably don't, and yet the reason she's in the news is the very same reason you're at this site: female beauty and sexuality. So pay attention. Please.

Amanda was a 15-year-old Canadian girl who, along with some friends, got involved in webcam socializing in order to 'meet people'. A man she met during one of these adventures flattered her, complimented her, and cajoled her into stripping for him on the webcam. A bit of harmless teenage fun, really. Except that this man was able to record her image and use it to blackmail her. He threatened to publicly shame her, to vilify her and humilate her. He was the definition of a stalker - he knew where she lived, what her family's names were, everything.

She changed schools, made new 'friends'. Her stalker followed her. He posted a photo of her breasts as his facebook profile picture, and forward topless pictures of her to "everyone" (her words).

That's when the real attacks began. Her circle of acquaintances jumped at the chance to make her life a living hell for having had topless photos taken of herself. What followed was many months if not years of abuse, ridicule, and even physical assault that left Amanda so emotionally damaged that she attempted suicide by drinking bleach. She was saved then, but her spiral into depression was too steep to stop. Two days ago she killed herself in her parents' home.

Although memorial pages have sprung up on facebook and elsewhere, her attackers haven't let her death stop them. Cruel taunts and jokes are still being made on these sites by the people who ghoulishly delight in her death. It's like something out of a horror movie. Only it's all too real. And the worst of it is, no one is talking about what this tragedy is really about.

Bullying, they're calling it. Bullshit, I say.

If this isn't a painfully clear, writ-large in neon letters example of hatred of beauty and female sexuality, I don't know what is. This girl was not abused, humiliated, shamed, and assaulted out of the clear blue sky - the whole sordid, disgusting mess began with photos of her naked breasts.

Breasts. Her breasts. For having committed the 'crime' of showing them to some unscrupulous bastard who decided to ruin her life, she paid the ultimate price.

No one is saying this, of course. No one is talking about whether it was a group of boys or girls who savaged her (but I'm assuming it's girls, since women are the first ones to attack each other as 'sluts'). No one is bringing up the fact that no boy is ever 'bullied to death' over his sexual escapades. No one is mentioning how outrageously evil it is to attack a young woman for going topless. No one is screaming that this hatred of women, this societally-sanctioned hysteria against any whisper of female sexuality has simply got to stop or else more young girls are going to die. There are no feminists out there protesting or pleading with their young sisters to stop attacking their fellow women. There is no one making a comparison to the Taliban and how they, too, murder women for showing skin. No one is saying anything except the same, boring old platitudes about how online 'bullying' is a serious problem.

It's a serious problem, alright - especially when you don't even identify what the real problem is. It isn't bullying. It's black, ugly, slimy hatred of beauty, of women, of their sexuality, and of anything pure and simple and good.

You don't have to know who Amаndа Tоdd was. In some ways, she's all of us. She is every woman who was ever attacked, abducted, abused, or assaulted. She's every woman ever made the butt of a joke, or called a slut, or pelted with stones, or whipped, or beaten, or killed. She's every teacher ever fired for having posed nude, she's every passenger kicked off a plane for having a top that was too low cut, every r4pе victim accused of asking for it by wearing a sexy skirt. Shе's Mаrіlyn, she's Annа Nіcоlе, she's every innocently sexual woman ever seized upon and destroyed by those whose dark souls can't allow something so beautiful and meaningful to live.

And she's every woman on this site, whose beauty and sexuality you enjoy and seek out and need. Defend her. Defend her right to be a respected, admired and valuable human being. Protect her against all those who would call her the devil and blame her for every evil, all the while salivating while they gaze at her lustfully. It may be too late for Amаndа Tоdd, but there are many, many more of her out there that need us now more than ever.

Jеss Rоbіnsоn: caliente

Whеn Jеss Robinson arrived for our photoshoot, we hadn't planned on it being so hot. Literally. It was the hottest night of the summer, and even approaching 11 pm when we shot this set, the temperature was still almost triple digits. Everyone had already had a long day, and the heat inside our studio - even with air conditioning, was so stifling that we broke out in a sweat even sitting still. With the addition of photo lights it was a recipe for disaster. So we did the only thing we could do - we ran with it. We told Jess to imagine herself in some sultry Spanish hacienda on a moonless night, trying to cool off. It wasn't much of a stretch! But thankfully Jess is not just an amazing model, she's also a great actress and a terrific sport. She gamely posed for us in the uncomfortable heat and made it look easy. She quite literally kept her cool and gave us some of the most beautiful photos we've ever taken of her. So now that the cold winds of winter are threatening and the leaves are off the trees, enjoy this set of Jess and remember the hot nights of summer. We know we will. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: good women naked

Why are there so many protests when a beautiful woman gets a little naked in movies and on television while there are almost no protests against the over-the-top violent crimes against women we see committed several times daily in the same media? For example, nudity on network television in the US will get the broadcaster heavily fined and widely attacked by the various religious and "family" associations, yet how many young women do we see murdered by serial killers on any single night of US television dramas? 5? 10? We get a clue to why people are happy to see women killed but not naked when we notice that it's only a certain kind of nudity that people complain about. It is not sexual nudity. In fact, many actresses will do just about any sexually suggestive thing TV and movie writers can think up, including implied sexual intercourse, but they steadfastly refuse to do nude scenes, no matter how innocent or non-sexual they might be. The actresses who actually do nude scenes in movies almost always portray vampires, or strippers, or other dangerous or "immoral" women. The only kind of nudity we don't see, in movies or on TV, is beautiful women who are not evil. Good women. Good women naked. Perhaps it's because it forces us to confront our hatred of our own bodies. We have all been taught that man is destructive and evil, and this tends to make us hate mankind, ourselves, and our bodies. The fact remains that the American public (an increasingly the whole world) accepts violence but not nudity. And hatred of female beauty is the only explanation we can find for this seeming contradiction. This is why Body in Mind always tries to present beautiful women like Rаchеllе Wіldе in full proud possession of their own bodies. We stand for non-violence against women and female beauty, and there is no contradiction in that. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: a work of art

Do you ever notice that the only time nude sculpture is considered 'art' is when it is portrayed in the smooth, cold, alabaster figures like Mіchеlаngеlо's Dаvіd or the goddesses that prop up the pillars of a Greek temple? For centuries this was the only way the human form could be depicted - as something more than - and at the same time less than - human, idealized and frozen in perfection. In fact, this was the only way most people ever saw another fully nude person; Victorian author Jоhn Rυskіn was allegedly so shocked by the site of his wife's pubic hair on their wedding night that, believing she was a freak of nature, had their marriage annulled. He had only ever seen the unrealistically smooth marble statues of antiquity and had no idea what real women looked like. So why is it that only ghostly pale representations of the human form are considered art? Why is it that when you add color and texture, warmth and vitality - and yes, pubic hair - it ceases to be art and becomes something scandalous or titillating? Why couldn't a beautiful woman be admired as a work of art just as she is - in a living, breathing, vibrant human body? We believe female beauty is the ultimate in artistic expression, one of the few arguments for a creator that we grudgingly admit has some merit. And we believe that real, vivid beauty should be appreciated, admired, respected and cherished for the fine art that it is. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: the bodyinmind.com touch

We have some of the most beautiful women on the Internet here gracing the pages of bodyinmind.com. However, whenever we see their photos elsewhere we can't help but notice that ours are always better. The reason those wonderful women look their best on our site is that we do not hide our heads in shame as other photographers and publishers seem to do. We do know that beauty cannot be dissociated from morality, that every element in every set needs to be there for a reason. We do not throw a bunch of random props together and hope for a great-looking shoot, we meticulously choose everything that appears in every shoot, designed to suit the model herself, we have just the right amount of makeup, just the right mood - we are in control, and the result is always better photos. That's why we are always proud whenever we publish a new set of a woman as beautiful as Rhіаn Sυgdеn. We know that we did everything to produce the most moral photos there are, and we know there is no other place in this universe that can match them. We hope you agree. :-) More...

Kеlly Hаll: suite beauty

Two members of Britain's royal family have been involved in nude photo 'scandals' recently. One involved a royal cavorting naked in Lаs Vеgаs as part of a drunken game of strip poker. The other involved a photographer invading the privacy of a young couple on holiday in France and selling, to the tabloids, the ilicit photos he snapped of the topless wife. In the first case, when world heard about Prіncе Hаrry's naked romp, all anyone could say was "Oh that Harry, what a bounder he is!" with more than a touch of admiration. He's a young man, people said. He's out enjoying himself, what's the big deal?

But when Dυchеss Kаtе was secretly photographed sunbathing topless, the world went into panic mode. Lawyers descended on the French courts to get an injunction to stop the photos' publication. Newspapers all over the world slammed the editors of the various tabloids that published them. Commentators mentioned how eerily sad it was for the 'furious' William and the 'humiliated' Kate, considering the role paparazzi played in Prіncеss Dіаnа's death. And on magazine covers everywhere, headlines like "Trаgіc Hυmіlіаtіоn for Kate" invited readers to discuss whether, in all fairness, Kate really should have known better and been careful to keep herself covered at all times.

This kind of double standard is appalling. To treat a male royal's naked photos as 'a bit of fun' and a female's as an international incident is downright sexist. But to treat Kate like she is unable to deal with the sexual predation of unscrupulous men and that she is somehow responsible for their atrocious actions comes chillingly close to the kind of thinking that prescribes full out burka for all women.

Furthermore, to act as though Kate's being topless is some sort of crisis only intensifies the idea that female beauty and sexuality are dangerous, shameful, horrible things. If this entire issue had been about invasion of privacy - which it isn't, clearly, since nobody minds how invasive and demanding paparazzi are with this couple and others the rest of the time - then the outcry would be understandable. And we are certainly sympathetic to the couple's anger at having a private moment revealed to the world by the tabloids. But let's not lose sight of the real issue here - we have to take a stand against the vilification of female beauty, and put an end to the hysterical overreaction the world has to the sight of it, accidental or otherwise.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt and Pеtа Tоdd: The 2010 Vаmp Awаrds

We were looking through our unused content the other day and came across a set of photos and videos from the 2010 Vаmp Awаrds which starred Nіkkаlа Stоtt as Pеnеlоpе Flіck and Pеtа Tоdd as Grеtchеn Grееn. This content was conceived as an example of what an awards show might look like in a world where women were valued for the two things that they never get admired for: their beauty and their brains. Today we see and hear a lot about the importance of educating young women and the "beauty" of all women. Yet at the same time we see a lot of intelligent women being ignored because they are not beautiful and beautiful women ignored because they are not intelligent. The same people who claim to love women seem perfectly unmoved We have no doubt that our vision of women with beauty and brains will also be sidelined and ignored by modern culture and intellectuals. This is because neither beauty nor intelligence are of any interest to them. This is the only explanation for why we do not see anything like the Vаmp Awаrds in the world today. Only when beauty is respected will we see nudity in culture, and only when intelligence is admired, will brains be considered beautiful. More...

Happiness is Laura in the nude

If you were around in the 70's, you'll probably remember the "Hаppіnеss Is..." cartoons that appeared in newspapers and magazines. They were even made into little statuettes you could buy at knick knack shops. The cartoons were pen and ink drawings of two cherubic little naked people, usually a boy and a girl, clutching hearts or rainbows or each other. Underneath these little drawings were the words "Hаppіnеss Is..." and a variety of answers, such as "being with the one you love" or "my best friend" or "smooching". The idea was simple: these chubby little imps were meant to remind us of the simple things that make life worth living. This kind of unabashed devotion to happiness has gone out of vogue nowadays, but the sentiment is as valid now as it was then. It's important to define for yourself what things in life will make you happy, and to pursue them with all your heart. In all likelihood, a big part of your happiness will involve beautiful women inspiring you to achieve it. Lеt Lаυrа's exuberance and pure expression of happiness remind you how important it is to spend a bit of time every day trying to figure out what "Hаppіnеss Is..." for you. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: fire escape

Do you ever wonder how it's possible to get outdoor shots of a naked woman? Not the isolated-Swiss-mountain type shots, but rather the kind of everyday outdoor nudity you often see - girls outside city buildings, or on Fіfth Avеnυе like we did with Alece? It's not easy. Take this set of Hayley as an example. The fire escape outside our studio looked like an inviting place to shoot, and even had a bit of leafy coverage to camouflage us from prying eyes on the street. But we are surrounded by apartments and housing complexes, and so we knew that unless we were fast and creative, someone was going to throw a fit and call the police. So we devised an ingenious plan. Dwayne and our assistant Cat went out to the front of the building with his camera. Leanne and Hayley scooted up the fire escape. For fifteen minutes, Dwayne diverted attention by pretending to take photos of the fully-clothed Cat goofing around on the sidewalk (at one point she was hanging from a tree branch singing "Thе Sоυnd of Music"). Dogwalkers and mothers out for a stroll gaped. They pointed and stared. And they didn't even notice the nude woman posing on the fire escape not thirty feet away. It was a little nerve wracking (in some shots you'll see Hayley glancing over to see if we've been seen), but it was also a lot of fun. Thanks to Hayley's bravery and Cat's vocal stylings we were able to get a quick, fun set right out in front of everyone. Enjoy! More...

D&L Bell

Body in Mind has been online for fifteen years now. We've photographed some of the world's most beautiful women, and worked with some stellar photographers. We've also worked very hard to produce a classy, tasteful site that encompasses all our values without selling out and catering to the baser instincts of some viewers. But here's something you probably don't know about us: practically this whole site, and most of the photography in it, is produced by two people, the "D&L Bell" you see on the cover of photosets like this - Dwayne and Leanne, a happily married couple from Canada. We are the ultimate small business - just two people dedicating their working lives to a vision of beauty, a love of photography, and a desire to reach other like minded people. We're thrilled that there are enough of you that we can make our living doing this. But it is just that - we don't exactly suffer from 'an embarrassment of riches", so to speak. We manage, and struggle, we get by, just like so many other people these days. And we hang in there, hoping things will improve. We don't have have employees, or offices, or a 'mansion' - and we don't have 24/7 tech support because for at least some of those 24 hours we'd like to get some sleep.

So if you're wondering why we don't have seven updates a day like some sites, it's because that's physically impossible for two people to do. If you're wondering why we don't churn out more and more and more galleries of Nikkala, or Rhian, or anyone else, it's because models are just as human as we are, and are not commodities that can be endlessly supplied. And if you wonder why we don't show spread-eagled teenagers smiling like mental patients, it's because we choose not to, and have the small luxury of being able to make that choice.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank our many loyal members and devoted fans. Thank you all for your continued support.

Thе Rеpυblіcаn anti-porn platform

Thе Rеpυblіcаns' new very public assault on porn is the first we've seen or heard from them on the subject in many years. It is neither dangerous nor credible and all it will accomplish is to inspire the media to dig up dirt in the sex lives of Republican politicos. However, what is significant is that the attack on porn comes at exactly the same time as the unprecedented attacks on the most innocent forms of female sexuality we have begun to witness in our culture. For example songwriter and performer Kаty Pеrry was recently attacked in the media for wearing a butterfly costume that was "too sexy". Mеаnwhіlе Kаty Perry is one of the only shamelessly pro-value performers and celebrity personalities in the world today. She refuses to go anti-value even when anti-value is the fashion everywhere. But even more astounding are attacks like the one against a young schoolgirl who was sent home on school photo day because her hair style was considered too sexy and therefore "inappropriate". It's always important to remember that attackers of female beauty and sexuality are always attacking the beauty in what they attack, not the sexuality, no matter how sexual or how innocent the beauty they are attacking is. And when we see attacks on both ends of the female ethico-sexual spectrum that is when hatred of beauty has become a culture-wide phenomenon, as it has now. Female beauty (and women in general) are always scapegoated when times get tough and when economies collapse. Republicans, not women, are the ones who should be ashamed of themselves. More...

Damianne - the body beautiful

206 bones. More than 600 muscles. 1000 kilometers of neurons. 46 chromosomes. Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon, and a smattering of other trace elements. And it only takes about 9 months to make one, start to finish. The human body is a remarkably efficient machine - strong yet flexible, delicate in some ways yet tougher than steel in others, capable of self-defense and healing, but vulnerable to the smallest invaders at the same time. And it keeps going, sometimes for more than century. Yet there's one aspect of the human body that deserves praise but seldom receives it - the pure beauty of the human form. No physiological function requires beauty - even reproduction doesn't require it. We could all function quite happily in lumpy, utilitarian or downright ugly bodies (and some of us do!) yet somehow nature has gifted the human race with rare instances of spectacular beauty. The strong muscles accented by soft curves, the long, lean lines of a beautifully formed leg. The swell of a breast, the shimmering cascade of hair down a sculpted back - the body beautiful is rare and special, something to be appreciated, gazed upon, and enjoyed. More...

Stripping is art, people!

September 7, 2012 - Right in the middle of the legislative war on beauty and values, a strip club in NY have taken it upon themselves to have stripping recognized as the art it is. They went to court demanding tax-exemptions, since what they are offering is, after all, art. Their argument is that most of their performers are tap and ballet dancers, and they have a cultural anthropologist on their side to back up their claim.

We agree that stripping can be an art, as we've discussed many times, but more importantly it's sad that beautiful women who dance nude actually have to fight a legal battle to affirm that what they do is artful. If you have been to any strip club you probably know that not every performer can perform an interesting strip tease, and those that do elevate the mere taking off of clothes to something more inspiring and entertaining, as any good artist does. And perhaps if the nude female form were respected more, the strip club themselves would class up their acts and put on truly engaging and beautiful shows.

Skyе Bаck to School

We recently had to refund a sign-up because our payment processor claimed it had been purchased by a minor. This enterprising fellow (age unknown) apparently used his parents' credit card to access our site. It's not hard to imagine what happened next. Mommy found out and blew a gasket because her little boy is never, under any circumstances, to see a naked woman. Doing so might turn him into, you know, a man or something. The shame of it is, there's probably no classier or more tasteful site than ours to introduce a curious young man to the delights of female beauty. Which got us thinking - what if we could all go back to the drawing board, so to speak? What if we could somehow erase the decades of hysterical, irrational distrust of beauty and sexuality and allow it out into the open, where it belongs? What if we could study it in school - and not like in 'hygiene' class either, where you learned what a fallopian tube was but never heard word one about why the mere sight of a girl made you weak in the knees. We think the world would be a happier, healthier place if female beauty - and male interest in it - were given at least as much respect as fallopian tubes. Then maybe 'minors' could grow up as they were meant to, with a healthy, natural interest in beauty and sex, and the rest of the world could finally learn about everything female beauty has to offer.

Alece: sophisticated nature

Alece is a nature girl. But you wouldn't know it when you look at her. A former fashion model, her extraordinary good-looks and sophisticated demeanor make her look like the ultimate city girl, stepping from fine dining establishment to high-rise glass offices with one step of her impossibly long legs. But in reality there is nothing she likes more than kicking back in the Catskills wearing nothing but the cover of leaves and a smile. In truth there is nothing we like more either, that is, Alece nude in nature; unless perhaps it is Alece nude in that sophisticated way that only women of intellect and business savvy can pull off. Because you see, Alece is a successful Nеw Yоrk City entrepreneur and she brings all of her considerable poise and style with her when she visits the country. Including her cozy cape. More...

Karmen: lost in thought

Fantasy is very important to our health and spiritual well-being. Unfortunately, our culture does not value the human mind and actively discourages independent thought at every turn, including personal fantasies. Therefore very few people ever bother to develop a personal philosophy of their own. Most tend to follow the philosophies of others. Few develop private fantasies for the same reason, accepting the fantasies of others through literature, movies, or porn. Both failures are tragic because thinking is the only way for you to discover truth, and fantasy is the only way for you to discover values. Values are defined as the things in life that are worth striving for and having. And since you are the only one who knows what you like and love, only you can discover your values. Without knowing what your values are how can you make the choices in life that are necessary to achieve them? You would be like a robot sent into a department store with a mechanical grabbing arm that is not given any programming instructions. Without knowing your values the chances of coming out of the store of life with what you want are almost zero. So program yourself. Reject repetitive, stale sex and violence fantasies offered by the media. Let your own peronal thoughts, feelings, emotions, and values into your fantasies. If you value intelligence and romance then fantasize about them. Your health, happiness, and future depend on it. More...

Hayley-Marie: ashore

Why do sailors look forward to shore leave so much? No, it's not the stable comfort of dry land after so many roiling months at sea. No, it isn't the prospect of good food, sunshine, and a private, roomy place to lay your head. It isn't even the prospect of sex, really - memories and fantasies can sustain men for quite some time. There's one reason sailors clamber off their ships and whoop it up in port - beauty. Long months of isolation, with nothing but other men for company, make the prospect of seeing beautiful women again intoxicating. Men need to refresh their souls with beauty, they need to be able to gaze at women and adore them, and they need reminders of why they strive and work and aspire as ardently as they do. A beautiful woman can inspire a man to become better than he is, and offer him a delightful reward when he does. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: Sunday morning

We shot this set on a beautiful Sunday morning, in between two other sets. The sun was out, the day was warm and pleasant, we had jazz on the stereo and a cool breeze floating in through the open studio door. Rachelle hummed along to the tune as she casually gazed out the window, idly playing with her dress and enjoying being naked, beautiful and free. It was a far cry from the kinds of sights and sounds we often experience on a photo shoot - the high energy music, the flashing strobes, the fans blowing and the rapid-fire costume or makeup changes. It was a treat to just stand there in front of her with a camera and nothing else. Because sometimes, in the midst of all the glitz and glamor of weekend parties and nights on the town, it's nice to slow down a bit and just enjoy a moment of tranquility. Who needs a wild Saturday night when you can have a Wіldе Sυndаy morning? More...

Naked chess

This year the Bеаυty Pаrk (the place where men with character go to for the pleasant company of beautiful, intelligent and nude women) introduced Laura to its bevy of lovely ladies. Laura happens to be quite an accomplished chess player and won many more matches this year than she lost. Now some people might wonder why anyone would want to play chess against a beautiful nude woman but after you stare and leer for a little while you need to find something to do with her. After all she is a whole person and would not want to have you around if all you can do is drool. If you want to have a beautiful nude woman around you then you need to impress her as much as she impresses you. And what better way to impress her than to show her what you are especially good at? Maybe you're a chess player, or a painter, or a surfer. Whatever. Thе Bеаυty Park is a place where you can do what you love with a gorgeous naked lady. And when you look at it that way, everybody wins. More...

Thе Olympіc spirit

No one was made fun of more at the 2012 Olympіc Gаmеs than the American women's beach volleyball team. In spite of it being the most watched sport other than gymnastics and the men's 100 meter dash we've all heard the cracks about how beach volleyball is not a real sport and how the ladies play practically nude even though this year the ladies were allowed to wear shorts and t-shirts if they wanted. Nevertheless, the American beach volleyball team chose to stick with their sport bra and bikini bottom uniforms, and went on to win their third straight Olympic gold medals. So why would people attack these 2 brave, beautiful and brilliant athletes and Olympic champions so heartlessly? For what else but for their bravery, beauty, and brilliance. After all, it can't be for any lack of skill - they won 3 consecutive gold medals! And it cannot be for wearing skimpy outfits - ALL athletes in ALL sports wear skimpy outfits. And it cannot be for the "silliness" of their sport - probably half of the sports in the Olympics are sillier. Frankly we're tired of seeing the best and the brightest in the world getting attacked for being the best and the brightest. So we're thrilled that the Olympics still honors, respects, and rewards them. There are not many places left in the world where those who earn and deserve a place in our hearts get more than mockery and derision in return. It wouldn't matter to us if the American women's beach volleyball team actually did play naked. Their medal would still be a gold one, and their mettle would still be Olympian. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: beauty days

We've seen a lot in the news lately about "Slυt Wаlks" and proposed "Slυt Dаys" in which women take to the streets or go to work dressed like sluts. These events are done in a spirit of protest; the women involved are trying to defend their rights to dress as they like in a society that frowns on female sexuality, but in fact these "slut walks" are the single biggest threat to women's sexual freedom, the absolute worst thing women can do. By branding themselves as sluts women are casting themselves as the villains in the battle over women's bodies, and we all know villains never win. There is an old saying that says you can't defeat your enemy by agreeing with him, yet these women propose to fight the idea that female sexuality is slutty by labeling themselves sluts. Women-haters want women to admit that showing a shoulder is slutty. That way they are clear to pass laws against it. Women-haters will happily grant women the right to protest as long as the haters get to pass the laws. And by admitting that female beauty and sexuality are immoral women are making the haters of women into the good guys in this issue. The way to establish freedom for women and their bodies is to realize that women-haters are really against beauty, not sexuality, and that the ranks of the "slut walks" consist mostly of women-haters. If you really care about women's freedoms ask yourself why so many women are willing to play the role of slut, but not angel, or are willing to be the bad guy in this issue, not the good. And then understand that the real way to fight for female beauty and sexuality is to hold "Bеаυty Wаlks" and "Bеаυty Dаys", not "Slυt Wаlks" and "Slυt Dаys". More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: Britain is sun-kissed with female beauty

Women's clothing is a barometer of a society's freedom and success. When times are tough most societies start decrying female nudity and attractiveness, hanging witches, stoning adulterers, basically making any woman terrified of showing even an ankle in public. On the other hand, in good economic times societies appreciate - or at least tolerate - nudity more, so that's when bikinis start coming out and coming off, both on beaches and in the media. The best example we can think of is Grеаt Brіtаіn. Somehow it has managed to weather the recent ecomomic storms in the world and has kept herself nicely afloat. The proof is that her figurehead, the Page 3 girl of Thе Sυn newspaper, is still cutting the waves of her forward movement. Thе Pаgе 3 girl has kept Britain from the sexual depravity we see in other countries. We just don't see that depravity in Britain, neither executions of sexual women nor excessive pornography production. There are probably more successful glamour models in the UK than in any other country in the world, and honestly, have you ever even heard of a single British porn site? That's because the Brits tend to prefer a little bit covered up actually, but also a little bit showing. Britain is about as even-keeled as countries get, and that's why the degree of acceptable female nudity there is so well balanced. More...

Karmen: a talent for being beautiful

Our good friend A.D. Cook sent us a video recently of one of his jam sessions involving music, art, and female beauty. We responded enthusiastically because we rarely see female beauty included in the 3 aesthetic talents: art, music, and beauty. This is probably because so few people see beauty as a talent. But we really have to wonder why, since the Olympics are starting this week and no one ever has any trouble seeing running and jumping as talents. No one would dare suggest that no medals be awarded to Olympic champions who were born with physical gifts or whose sport is open only to the very best. Yet we hear that complaint about beautiful women and modeling all the time. Yet top models work very hard at perfecting their talents just as top athletes or musicians do. Female beauty is just as popular in our society as music, and is certainly more relevent than gymnastics or water polo. Yet no one would ever suggest that sports take no real talent. This makes it clear to us that people who claim beauty is not a talent are simply people who hate beauty. The obvious give away is that they always want us to say average women - women who have neither been born beautiful nor attained it through effort - are "beautiful". But if ugly women who have made no special effort to be more attractive are entitled to the title of "beautiful" then certainly the women who are born beautiful are; even more so for the women who realize their beauty through dedicated hard work and practice. After all, we don't give medals to people for not competing in the Olympics, and we don't call people "athletic" who have no athletic ability. Neither then should we call average women with no intention of using their looks "beautiful". Karmen is one of those rare women who is both born beautiful and works it. In other words, she has a real talent for being beautiful. And we dare say that these photos, besides being beautiful, are somewhat musical and athletic. The 3 aesthetic talents always seem to go nicely together, don't they? More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: taking a break naked

What would you do if you had five minutes with a beautiful woman? Just five minutes. Like we had with Peyton this day, in between sets. The new set up was almost ready, and Peyton was just hanging out, like a talk show guest in the green room, waiting for her "Five minutes, Mіss Prіеstly!" from the production assistant. She chose to skim through some magazines, lounge in the chair for a moment to enjoy the breeze coming in through the studio's open bay doors, and look as casually gorgeous as any woman has ever looked. We couldn't put our cameras down, because we've come to appreciate that even five minutes with a beautiful woman is more than enough to get that one shot you'll value forever. But even if you're not a photographer, the challenge is still yours: ask yourself what you would do if you had just five minutes with such a beauty. Would you gawk and stare? Would you catcall and whistle? Would you try to hit on her? Or would you fall under her spell and just appreciate her beauty, for whatever amount of time she might be in front of you? How you would react to an opportunity like the one Peyton presented us with tells you a lot about your own view of beauty, and might help teach you how you should react to it. Five minutes might seem like the briefest sliver of time, but when it comes to the lessons that beauty can teach us, it might be an eternity. More...

Anonymity is the opposite of democracy

On the question of copyrights and illegal downloading US Prеsіdеnt Obаmа's administration recently asked any interested parties to submit suggestions on how they might solve it. We think we can solve the problem with one phrase: "Anonymity is the opposite of democracy". We hear a lot of internet pundits telling us lately that democracy requires anonymity and that online accountability is impossible. This is completely wrong. Democracy means each person has the right to stand up and be counted. But to be counted means to be accountable. Democracy assures each person their right to their identity, but it also logically requires everyone to have an identity. "Stand up and be counted" means "identify yourself and be counted". Without accountability and responsibility in any "democracy" everyone would simply vote to rob their neighbours. And this is exactly what's happening online. After all, if the internet is a global community then the producers of all the content being illegally downloaded online are our cyber neighbours, and we are robbing them. If democracy is truly our goal then we need it online too. And that means online accountability. To achieve it governments could simply institute licenses for internet access. Yes you have the right to privacy, in every area except one: you may NOT violate the rights of others with impunity. The right of privacy does not mean you have the right to NOT get caught when you break the law. Without the possibility of identifying criminals, law enforcement is totally impossible, as Obama is finding out. The solution is: People, not ghosts. Rule of law, not crime. Democracy, not anonymity. More...

2012 Body in Mind candids and outtakes #2

We had such a great response to last year's candids of all our models that we decided to give our members this year's candids in several batches throughout the year. We have so much fun on Body in Mind photoshoots that we never run out of hilarious outtakes and behind the scenes shots of your favourite models being adorably silly. Sure the quality of the photography is not as good as our usual sets which is why we didn't include them originally, but we know you'll agree the beauty of these ladies shines through bright and clear in all of this batch of BiM 2012 candids and outtakes. And you might even find your favourite photo of your favourite model in here because these photos are the real deal - a glimpse into the souls of some of the best models in the world, and that only makes them more beautiful doesn't it?

Do you want to wait 15 years?

For almost 15 years now Body in Mind has dedicated itself to being the most tasteful and artistic website for female nudes in the world. We have never featured porn and we have never used sexually suggestive poses or language. The writing on our site is politically savvy and scientifically astute. Yet somehow the world hasn't noticed how clean and circumspect BiM really is. For example, when we offer our promotional photos to mainstream websites and publications they treat us like some kind of slimy porn site, declining our offers of cooperation with more than a little condescension. It's the same with many of the models who decline our requests to pose for our tasteful nudes. Most have done very sexually suggestive - albeit non-nude - photos for other publications, yet somehow it is BiM that is not respectable enough for them. Playboy has always been thought of as the only publication where a respectable woman would pose nude, yet Body in Mind is actually MUCH softer and LESS sexual than Playboy! Happily, Alece (who approached us) and most of our models HAVE noticed. And so have our members. We just wish the world would. We sincerely hope it doesn't take another 15 years. More...

Laura: pink polaroid

Private photos are almost a thing of the past. Digital cameras, smart phones, and laptops have not only made photography a "must have" option for just about everyone, they have also made taking private photos a snap. But not too long ago, the only way to take a photo that only you or loved one would see was the Pоlаrоіd Instаmаtіc camera. Rolls of film from other cameras had to be processed by a lab, which meant someone somewhere would know if you took even one sexy picture. But a Polaroid would happily spit out several self-developing celluloid miracles per roll. You could watch them develop before your eyes. You could laugh and marvel at them. And you could throw them away, and no one would ever know they'd existed. Polaroids also made it possible to have a hard copy of your photo within one minute of taking it. Not even digital cameras and computers have found a way to do that as simply or with as much fun. Polaroids made photography fun. In fact, only Laura could make them more fun. More...

Hayley-Marie: throwing in the towel?

The expression "throwing in the towel" comes from the boxing ring; a fighter who was ready to give up would throw his towel into the ring to signal that he was done and ready to concede. We now use it anytime we want to express our readiness to give up a fight of any kind, whether spiritual or physical or both. These days it's often tempting to throw in the towel when it comes to defending beauty. There are just so many detractors out there, so many bitter voices outshouting each other to try to convince the world that beauty is bad and that those who posseses it are beneath contempt. It would be so much easier to give in to the groundswell of public opinion, to go along with those who insist that the only purpose of nudity is sex and that sex is immoral and evil and shameful. But we will never throw in that towel. While those around us sell out, sell their souls and betray the beauty that launched their careers, we will always be ready for another round. Bring it on, we say. Beauty is always worth going the distance for. And the only towel we'll throw is one for our models to pose with. ;-) More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: fashion model nudes

Not many nude models are beautiful enough to be fashion models. Only a very few are. Body in Mind is fortunate enough to have 3 or 4 models who have done fashion modeling, or who are gorgeous enough to do it. Oυr Nіkkаlа Stott is one of them. In fact, Nikkala recently invited us behind the scenes on a recent fashion shoot and we couldn't resist. Because fashion models are so beautiful they do nudes only when and because they want to. They can easily make their living without taking their clothes off. So we always do our very best to create a respectful and fun environment for Nikkala and all our models, and nudes seems to just happen. We hung with Nikkala both before and after her fashion shoot and she allowed us to get several candid and intimate nudes that we are sharing with you now. These nudes will never haunt Nikkala or damage her career because quite frankly, she's just that beautiful. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: a very good girl

We use the words pro-value and anti-value a lot on BiM. Pro-value doesn't mean "professional grade" or "professional quality" as many people guess, rather it means that you hold and project a view of moral values that is positive, it means you are oriented towards the moral not the immoral, it means you are good not bad, happy not sad. Examples are rare. Perhaps the simplest way to drive this point home is to say that at Body in Mind we are not attracted to bad girls; we are attracted to good girls, like Rhіаn Sυgdеn. If we were anti-value then we would feature horribly scarred models covered in smeared patches of black funk, screaming in frustration as they get pulled back into the smothering inky ooze from whence we came. But since we are pro-value we instead feature the most beautiful women we can find basking in their happiness at being alive in a sunny open world. If you prefer dark, brooding, slutty women then BiM is definitely not for you. But if you admire gorgeous women who enjoy their freedom, beauty, and success, then welcome home. BiM is as good as it gets. We are shamelessly and unrelentingly pro-value. More...

Karmen: me time

Selfishness is good. Selfishness is what makes us want to be good. If we didn't want to be good for our own sake - i.e. so that we can say and feel "I'm good" - then why would we want to be good at all? Why would we ever be unselfish if not for selfish reasons? If we didn't have the pride that makes us want to be a good person then why wouldn't we rob banks to feed the hungry? If we didn't want to be good to get to heaven then what would stop us from sacrificing our souls by committing every sin imaginable in order to help others? One of the cruelest and most destructive lies ever perpetrated on the human race is the idea that unselfish sacrifice is good. But is it good to sacrifice one's idea of the truth to those who lie? Is it right to pretend feelings for those who kill? Is it wise to betray one's love for those who hate? And if you do these things, what is left in you that will fight to do the right thing? That's why even though "me time" is seen as somewhat frivolous it actually just might be the most important thing in life. We all need to take the time to feel that we are the most important person in the world, not because we're special in some way that others are not, but precisely because we are not. We are all the same in this respect: without taking the time to purposely not sacrifice ourselves - i.e. to be selfish - there might not be any good in the world at all. More...

Damianne illustrated

This set is another one (see Rаchеllе Sprіng Goddess) done in a photo style exclusive to bodyinmind.com. We invented this style in order to create photographs that look like hand done artworks. These photos are not retouched in any way; they have come straight out of our photographers' cameras just as you see them here. We created this style not because we think drawing and painting are better than photography, but because we wanted to make art with our cameras. Photographers rarely create art. Maybe it's because it's so easy to make an image with a camera that photographers don't try very hard. It takes much more effort to create images with pencils and brushes - a lot more - so artists deliberate much more about what will go into their work and what will not. And this is the secret of art. Art is the depiction of the world of what could exist and should exist, so artists have to be inspired by the "rightness" of the images they imagine to find the energy and time to create them. Ourselves, we think depicting what could be and should be implies a realistic style: we want our dreams of beauty and perfection to actually exist in reality, otherwise they are not really worth having, are they? And photography is especially good at representing things in a realistic manner. Therefore we have created a style that combines the deliberation of the artist with the realism of photography. We think all women could be and should be as comfortable and confident with their beauty as Damianne and we have created photos of her in a style that minimizes the intrusion of the real world while leaving her planted firmly in it. Thus we have made art with reality itself. More...

Kеlly Hаll: the art of happiness

Everyone wants to be happy. Right? After all, what would be the point of life if happiness wasn't possible? Yet happiness tends to be rather elusive in life doesn't it? We want it, but we don't always know how to get it. Perhaps it's because even though happiness seems simple and straightforward in reality most of us don't even know what it is. For those who don't know, happiness is the emotion we experience when we get what we want; it is the achievement of our goals and values. So if we don't know what we want, or don't define our goals, choose our values, and work to achieve them, we will not find happiness. So happiness is crucially important to human beings not just because it feels good, and not just because it motivates us to live, but because it rewards us for living morally. Without moral values all we could hope for was darkness, confusion, helplessness, and frustration. Yet oddly, these negatives are almost always the subjects and themes of what is considered artful photography today. The photos on Body in Mind are not generally considered "art" because they are not dark and depressing. But we consider happiness to be a higher goal in life than pain and suffering, and we can't imagine a better subject for art than happiness. If art is important, then it should strive to project the most important thing in life. And what is more important than happiness? More...

Copyright in black and white

To completely grasp what is happening today in the battle between copyrights and file-sharing one needs to recognize two types of people in the world: the makers, and the takers. The makers are the people who look at the world with their minds, while takers look only with their eyes. Makers think for themselves and do as they please; takers look only at others and try to copy or impress them the best they can. Makers see a world full of possibilities, which they work hard to achieve. Takers see the world as a place where work is torture because thinking is futile, or a pointless game at best. Makers are those who create original literature, movies, music, software, photos, and video games while takers are the ones violating the makers' copyrights with illegal file-sharing. This explains why takers will villify big media companies for "profiteering" and for "having too much control over our lives" but will glorify companies like Google and Facebook who make many more billions than any film studio or record label ever has, and who intrude into our online lives to an unprecedented degree, playing with our private information with happy abandon like children let loose in a lego store. If you look closely into any copyright issue these days you will see only too clearly that it is not thieves, thugs, or profiteering that the takers have a problem with. It is the makers themselves that the takers hate. Takers despise makers simply because the makers hold the exact opposite of the takers' world view: makers love the world; takers hate it. Let your love of the world (or lack of it) determine which side of the copyright issue you are on, as in fact, it already has. More...

Hayley-Marie: I do

Why do women love weddings so much? Because it's the one day, often the only day of their whole lives, when they are allowed to indulge in the desire to be beautiful. It's the only day when they are allowed to dress up like a princess, get their hair and make up professionally done, wear jewels and flowers and generally float around on a cloud of beauty and grace. Brides are the center of attention, and are constantly told how beautiful they are. Female guests dress for the wedding with the unspoken assumption that they should strive not to look better than the bride does. And hideous bridesmaid's dresses are no accident either - nothing can detract from the bride's one day of acceptable beauty. We've always wondered why women aren't allowed to take this need for beauty even further. Why couldn't the bride float down the aisle topless, showing off her beautiful body in amongst all that satin and lace? If she wants to be the most beautiful woman in the room, why can't she just admit it and show herself off? Hayley-Marie helped us imagine a bride who was happy to say "Do I love being beautiful? Do I love feeling like a goddess? Do I love showing off my gorgeous body? I do!" More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: can a photo be art?

I started Body in Mind 15 years ago in order to feature my drawings and paintings of the most beautiful women I could imagine. My style has always been one of high realism - higher than was technically possible using traditional media, so I was always frustrated, never quite able to produce the photo realism I desired. So lately Leanne and I have taken up photography for BiM so that I can create the kind of images I've always wanted to paint. This gallery of Rаchеllе Wіldе as the Goddess of Spring is an example. I've worked very hard to develop a lighting style that can make a photo look like a painting so that I can "paint" with my camera. And I believe with this set we have succeeded very well indeed. Several of the photos are exactly the way I would have chosen to paint them: I wouldn't change a thing. That is actually what makes a painting art: there is nothing in it the artist did not want to be in it and nothing he wanted to be in it that is not there. This is why photography is rarely art: it's extremely difficult to control what ends up in a photo. But with this set I believe we have succeeded. The light in these photos of Rachelle makes them look like paintings. And everything else makes them look like art. Who knows...maybe they are. In any event, I'm proud to be showing these "painting-photos" on BiM. More...

Alece - cottage country

The end of May and beginning of June signals the start of cottage season in Nоrth Amеrіcа. Canada celebrates Vіctоrіа Dаy weekend and the US honors its veterans on Mеmоrіаl Dаy, and everywhere people start heading 'up north' to open the cottage for the season. A bonfire, a few Adirondack chairs, some cold beer and good friends - this is how many of us 'unwind' and enjoy the summer. If you've never spent a warm summer's evening fending off the black flies while roasting marshmallows impaled on obliging twigs, then you're missing out on one of life's simpler pleasures. Only the addition of casual and elegant female beauty might make such experiences better. Imagine if those girls who curl up in the weathered wooden chairs could discard their clothes as they see fit, and enjoy the feel of sun on their skin without it causing anything other than smiles in the people with her. Luckily being with Alece lets us experience that world for just a moment. If you're heading out to your own cottage country this weekend, imagine Alece is with you and see how much better the marshmallows taste, how much colder the beer goes down, and how much more you find yourself enjoying all that nature has to offer.

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: nude is going around

"I'd go around nude". This was the most common response given by women to the question, "If you could do anything for a day, what would it be?" in a popular poll. I'm not sure how accurate it is but judging from how quickly women of all ages and body types are getting nude for this cause and that these days, I'd say it's probably true. Yet when you look around, why are women not going nude? In fact, why did women ever go along with outlawing public nudity for women in the first place? Perhaps it's because they have always had ways to do it that circumvented the law. Like nude photography for that matter. Or Mаrdі Gras. Or Sprіng Break. Sprіng Brеаk is a chance for young women to enjoy being nude, beautiful and admired. And it's a chance for young men to openly admire such brave and benevolent women in publicly sanctioned ways. While so many adults are trying to find more and more ways to outlaw and condemn female beauty, it's actually the kids who are finding creative ways to enjoy and admire it. More...

Pеtа Tоdd: beauty will save the world

Noone really trusts the guy with a plan any more. Too many times we've been let down by political parties, social structures, and cultural movements. So today's tendency is towards poo-poo'ing anyone or any idea that takes a stand. For example, if we were to suggest that female beauty holds the answer to ALL of our problems, we'd be laughed at. Yet this is exactly what we DO say at Body in Mind. And because we do not laugh at ourselves for daring to suggest such a silly thing, we are mostly ignored by the world at large. Today absolutes are not to be taken seriously. It's as if people believe the way to show you care is to not care; that the way to save the world is to insist it can't be saved; and that problems will get solved only if we ignore them. Yet most people agree that the world is in trouble. That is one absolute we ALL accept. It might be helpful to look back through history at the other times humanity narrowly escaped destruction. At those times, it was not the people preaching the status quo or hiding their heads in the sand that saved us. It was the maverick ideologues who convinced enough people to take a chance on a new idea who did. For centuries, almost without exception, every philosophy, tradition, and institution has maintained the evil of female beauty. We hope the modern world will dare to be different, and will learn to see female beauty as something absolutely good, before it's too late.More...

Spent the day today cleaning up Google's mess. They are linking to a ton of websites who steal our photos in their search results again. It seems Google recently updated their famous algorithm and once again Body in Mind got a boot in the face. We've long since stopped trying to get Google to notice that WE are the ones producing our photos. Body in Mind never shows up in their search results for any of our models or our gorgeous photo sets. Before we invented our unprecedented security system that stopped pirates from getting our sets, Google always returned the illegal sites who stole our photos first in their results. Then when our security system meant there was no more stolen sets for Google to link to, our affiliates - who have permission to use our promo photos - started to show up first in Google's results, which was great! Bυt Gооglе has changed again and now the first sites in their results tend to be the ones stealing our promo photos from our affiliates! If you're as sick of Google as we are, and if you actually want to find what you're looking for when you use a search engine then we recommend a new little duck in the pond, a search engine called DuckDuckGo.com (try it, you like it). You won't find a ton of stolen stuff on it. And you won't find a ton of our stuff on it either. But then if you want our stuff, you know where to find it. Even if Google doesn't. More...

2012 Body in Mind candids and outtakes #1

We had such a great response to last year's candids of all our models that we decided to give our members a batch of this year's candids a little earlier than usual. We have so much fun on Body in Mind photoshoots that we never run out of hilarious outtakes and behind the scenes shots of your favourite models being adorably silly. Sure the quality of the photography is not as good as our usual sets which is why we didn't include them originally, but we know you'll agree the beauty of these ladies shines through bright and clear in all of this batch of BiM 2012 candids and outtakes. And you might even find your favourite photo of your favourite model in here because these photos are the real deal - a glimpse into the souls of some of the best models in the world, and that only makes them more beautiful doesn't it? More...

A Bеаυtіfυl Wоmаn's Fіght Fоr Justice

May 11, 2012 - Yesterday a beautiful woman's fight for justice made headlines. Her name is Sаrаh Trеsslеr, and she was a journalist at the Hоυstоn Chrоnіclеs, a part-time professor at the University of Houston, and a stripper.

Apparently her boss could not believe that an intelligent woman with so many talents could realize that she is beautiful. She was fired after he found out about her being a stripper. She was not even trying to hide the fact.

Try to find a single incongruency about her being a journalist and a stripper. You will find NONE. She was punished not for failing to do her job, but because she was good at another job. She was punished for being beautiful. She was punished because she was not ashamed of her beauty. She was fired for anything but being a bad journalist.

Being a stripper takes a lot of bravery, self-confidence and grace. Essential elements of Bell's beauty recipe.

Just to prove that she is beautiful, she is not ashamed. She didn't take the blog where she wrote about stripping down, and she is suing the Hоυstоn Chrоnіclеs. If there is any decency left in this world, she will be justly compensated for getting fired.

Damianne: Hot DAMN!

Damn! That's all we could say when we looked at Damianne's photos the day after our 2-day shoot with her. Each successive set got unbelievably better and better, in fact, each photo in each set got better and better! We'd never seen anything quite like it. This girl was hot AND talented in the extreme. Before we met her she had emailed us that she wasn't an athlete, dancer, or gymnast. "About the only graceful thing I do is pose", she warned, no doubt wearing a knowing smile like the Chеsіrе Cаt's. Damn! can she pose, as you're about to find out. Needless to say we couldn't wait to release some of her photos so you can share in our overwhelming excitement. These are our best photos yet, and we hope they leave you too with just one word on your lips: DAMN! More...

Hayley-Marie: fuzzy Logic

Sometimes being in the business of nude photography is an exercise in illogic. Recently we had some dealings with a certain payment processor, who objected to our site because, in a brief review, they found the name of some famous models. Without checking with us they assumed we were using celebrity names in that shameless way some of the seedier porn sites do. They also complained about questionable marketing tactics because we used the word 'r*pe' in an editorial about the causes of female abuse. They assumed that we were espousing violence in porn like some illegal website. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth, but their "policies" red flagged us without so much as one human intelligence actually taking the time to read the site and find out what we were about.

Their issue, then, seems to be this: don't try to mix female beauty and ideas. It's like they are saying "Porn we understand. Porn we approve of, and are happy to make our living skimming off of it. Nasty, even disgusting, in-your-face porn is completely fine, but once you start actually talking about nude women, all bets are off. There can be no good reason to mix beautiful nude photography and ideas." They can't seem to even imagine a site for moral, intelligent men who like to discuss ideas as much as they like nude women. It is so foreign an idea to them that they seem like one of those alien computers in Stаr Trеk who, faced with Kirk's impeccable logic, simply self-destruct in a shower of sparks and blinking lights, wailing 'does not compute'.

Beauty and ideas do belong together. Body in Mind is founded on that principle. Social commentary is not diminished by appearing alongside beautiful nude women, it is enhanced by it. To believe anything else is to engage in the worst kind of fuzzy logic. More...

The zen of female beauty

"Sun is warm, grass is green..."

Ask a practitioner of Zen what his belief system is about, and he'll probably say something along the lines of this:

Zen is a way of looking at reality without the interfering buzz of one's own subjective thoughts, a kind of total focus that unites body and mind. Zen is a state of mind, yes, but it is also a way of being - meaning that it doesn't just exist in some ephemeral world of the inner spirit. It is something you take with you every day, it embraces reality around you and encourages you to attain 'enlightenment' here on earth, something very few religions espouse.

In that way, the philosophy of Zen and the philosophy of female beauty are remarkably alike. Perceiving beauty requires you to banish subjectivity and focus on both the physical (the body) and the spiritual (the mind). To recognize beauty you have to understand both components equally; one without the other, body without mind or mind without body, will never result in true beauty. Maybe you can see that for yourself in this set of Karmen - her physical perfection is obvious, but what kind of spiritual values does she embody? That's for each man to decide, and decide he must if he genuinely wants to feel the full impact of her beauty. Only when he can honestly embrace both - 'she is physically beautiful' and 'her elegance and athleticism represent strength and purpose to me' - will he be truly Zen. More...

Laura: wardrobe function

You hear about all the time - some young Hollywood starlet arrives at a red carpet event and, in front of all the cameras, has an unfortunate 'wardrobe malfunction', or 'nip slip' as they're starting to be called. The strap of her gown will 'inadvertently' slip down her shoulder revealing a fleeting glimpse of nipple, or she'll bend over a little too far giving every newspaper editor his new front page image. It's getting a little too common to be truly accidental; in fact, it could be considered a shrewd business move on the part of any young woman who wants some publicity. Society frowns on nudity in general, but as long as you claim it was just an accident, you get a pass - and the attention of the world at the same time. We think women should be allowed to be open and honest about the allure of their bodies, and to use their beauty openly and to their advantage. If everyone secretly wants to see a starlet's nude body, why shouldn't she be able to show it off if she chooses, without having to hide behind the lie of a 'wardrobe malfunction'? Why shouldn't it be a wardrobe function instead? Why can't her clothing and jewelry and movie star glamor be used as a stage for her own beauty? Laura had some fun with this idea as a starlet at the premiere of her new movie and showed us what everyone was really there to see. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: showing everything?

Many of the models on Body in Mind are famous topless glamour models from the UK. Rhіаn Sυgdеn is currently perhaps the most famous and popular. She has even used her fame to land some work in movies. For those who don't know, the glamour models in the UK do not usually show everything. They go all the way upstairs, but not all the way downstairs, if you know what we mean. Occasionally one or two of our members email us and ask "What's the point? It's just a big tease!" We sometimes try to explain to them that's exactly the point. A woman's charms are meant to titillate, to tease, and to task us. They are meant to get us worked up and to make us want more! They are not meant to be seen and forgotten as quickly as possible. What would be the point of that!? And this is especially true for pictures of beautiful women. They are not intended to replace a real woman. They are meant to inspire men to go out and get real girlfriends, not stay at home with paper ones. Pictures of beautyiful women are not the end of the process, they are the beginning. And in exactly the same way, a woman taking you downstairs is not the beginning, but the end. More...

Alece - Thаt Fееlіng

Do you ever wonder what makes a woman feel comfortable getting naked? Women are notoriously self-critical, and each one of them has their own line in the sand when it comes to levels of undress. Some women wouldn't be caught dead in even the most modest of swimsuits - they scamper to the water's edge wrapped in a bath sheet and fling it off at the last possible second, offering only the briefest glimpse of skin before plunging in. Others are happy to show themselves off in a bikini, but go pale at the thought of appearing nude. In many cases, there's no reason these women should feel so compelled to hide themselves, but they insist on it anyway. So what makes a woman overcome these self-doubts and happily show herself off? The secret lies in one simple thing: how beautiful she feels. Not how beautiful she looks - no woman, supermodel or otherwise, ever truly thinks she looks beautitul. But every woman is capable of feeling beautiful. Maybe it's a burst of confidence, maybe it's the way the man in her life gives her that appraising smile, maybe it's the hard work she's put in at the gym lately that makes her feel taut and fit. Maybe it's something else altogether, but whatever it is, men would do well to remember this fact if they want women to feel more comfortable showing themselves off. Make a woman feel beautiful, and she'll be happy to revel in it. Help her delight in her own senusality, in the power of her own feminity, and she'll become the goddess you know she can be. More...

Jеаn Sеqυеncе

A lot of people think female beauty is in the genes. But if that were true, then we wouldn't need Body in Mind would we? If we were all pre-programmed to react to beauty in pre-determined ways then why would we need art or photos of beautiful women at all? If nature was in control of who we find attractive and who we don't then it only makes sense that nature would make us all equally attractive. After all, it doesn't make sense for all the men to be chasing only a small percentage of the women does it? The human race wouldn't last very long if only the most attractive people reproduced. Obviously then, since the human race IS here and is NOT having any trouble reproducing, we can safely conclude that genes play only a small role in human beauty. In fact, by far, the largest player in the attraction game is not our genes, but our values. We tend to be attracted to people who either possess or reflect our values. If you are nice you like nice people. If you are confident you like confident people. And if you are creative, you're attracted to creative people. And so on. Our values play such a huge role in human attraction that it is amazing to us that in this day and age when the entire human genetic code has been mapped and catalogued, the role that our code of values plays is still in the pre-science stage. For example, what values make a person the most attractive? Why do some people admire certain values and not others? And why do we all respond to certain values the same way? Considering that our attractiveness to others is about 95% due to our values and not our genes, we suggest it's time to study this amazing phenomenon and to answer some of these questions. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: peek-a-boo

Nіkkаlа Stоtt has been our favourite model of all since she began her career in 2000. And we don't just mean topless model. She is our favourite model, period. We like her more than any runway model, bikini model, fashion model, or supermodel. In fact, it is one of our greatest pleasures at Body in Mind that Nikkala has posed for us regularly since 2005, and has done a better job modeling fashions than any fashion model we can think of, she looks better in a bikini than any Spоrts Illυstrаtеd swimsuit model, and looks better naked than any supermodel on earth. Frankly we are shocked that she is not more famous, but then Nikkala is a quiet girl, a classy lady, and an honest woman. She doesn't play the games that most celebrities play to get on the cover of this and the entertainment news of that. And even though her British fans can no longer find her in Thе Sυn Page 3 features that made her famous, she continues to work with BiM, and we are now happily working on a colour-photo book dedicated to her exclusively, that will be released soon. And our founder, DBell, swears he will finish editing his short film starring Nikkala called "The beautiful girl" soon. So while Nіkkаlа Stоtt, like anything truly beautiful may at times be hard to see, you can count on Body in Mind to continue allowing Nikkala to play peek-a-boo with her fans. More...

Kеlly Hаll: magnificent

When was the last time you read a good magazine? If you're like us, chances are it was quite a while ago. Because we work very long days producing Body in Mind we spend most of our time online, and - we are ashamed to admit - that ends up being where we have done most of our reading for the last 10 years. If YOU haven't picked up a magazine for the longest time we have some advice. Do it. Find a mag on a subject that interests you and read it. You will discover that magazines are where most of the good writing is now being done. We were pleasantly surprised at this discovery the last time we visited the magazine shelves beside the coffee shop at our local book store. Maybe it's because magazines HAVE to be better written and more interesting than the internet in order to survive. It's to their credit that most of them are. So if you find yourself missing the pleasure of being glad you've read something try checking out Body in Mind more often, or perhaps even better yet, pick up a magazine once in a while. On both counts, we - and Kelly - promise, you'll be glad you did. More...

Skye interrupted

It was a beautiful July morning. We set out early, our camera gear slung over our backs, and hiked into the wooded area with thoughts of a pleasant morning's shooting ahead of us. Aside from the odd die-hard cyclist who whizzed past, lost in his own thoughts, there was no one around. When we came across an old cider shack, with its weathered wood gleaming in the sunlight, we knew we had found the perfect spot. Skye stepped out of her clothes and stood against the barnboard in her little black bikini, enjoying the sun as we started to shoot. After a few poses she slipped out of the bikini top and tossed it over the branch of an apple tree. We were just about to ask her to remove the bottoms when the sound of an engine caught our attention. It was a park authority pick up truck, rumbling up the weed-choked path towards us. "You can't take pictures in here, this is a family park!" boomed the driver gruffly. "Leave or I'll call the police." We tried to remind him that toplessness is legal in Ontario, and that people take photos in this area all the time, but he wasn't listening. We could have stayed and argued and been arrested for some ridiculous charge like trespassing but the mood was gone, and 5 minutes later so was our sun, and so were we. We always wonder when adult men frown on female nudity. It doesn't seem right. We also wonder why people think female nudity is harmful to children. It isn't. We were disappointed at losing our chance to do the nudes in this set, but we loved how the topless photos turned out so we included them here. If you feel ripped off that there's no full nudes in this set then you know how we feel. But don't worry, this is just a bonus set. There will still be 2 full nude sets this week, as usual. But maybe next time you hear a man badmouthing a nude woman, or a woman claiming nude women threaten her children you will speak up and remind them of the beauty of the female body and that without it none of us would ever be born. Maybe then nude photo shoots would not be interrupted and ruined by spoil sports. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: just because

We created this set just because. We knew Rachelle would look amazing brushing her hair in the nude so we did it. And we knew her fans - as well as those lucky guys seeing her for the first time - would see it too. We knew we would not need to explain it. And in a way, that's the nice thing about beauty. It doesn't need to be explained. It doesn't need to be planned. No one needs to be convinced. As a model, artist or photographer you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you make something beautiful, others will see it too. These days many people act as if a nude woman is something dangerous and immoral, and rush to cover a child's eyes if they should see a photo of a beautiful woman in a bikini on the cover of a magazine in the supermarket. And the thing that gets us is that they act as if it's self-evident, that somehow we should all know that it's bad. But it's not self-evident at all. We had to be taught to see the female body as bad; this behaviour was devised by someone; it is not obvious at all. So then now we must all choose. Is beauty good because it is self-evident, or is hating it the right thing to do, even when it isn't clear why? Obviously, at Body in Mind, we don't hate beauty just because someone said we should. We'll take the universe's word over any eye-covering philosopher, any day. We'll let the beauty-haters furrow their brows in frustration trying to convince everyone to hate women. And the rest of us will simply enjoy the obvious beauty in the world around us - and in Rachelle - just because. More...

Hayley-Marie is NOT naughty

We don't like the word "naughty". When a woman flaunts convention, when she is independent enough to go outside the norm, and brave enough to risk derision and scorn for doing so, she deserves our respect, our attention, and our admiration. This is why we fight the word "naughty" and the concept it represents on our site SuperBeauty.Org. We don't allow any nude websites who use the word "naughty" to participate. We always tell them that if they are trying to say that their models are brave, brazen, shameless, and independent that they should simply say so. Those are too big of concepts to be shrunk down and squeezed into a little childish immoral admonition like "naughty". Doing so completely belittles and sidelines all the virtue, grandeur and beauty of a woman's sexual spirit, and gives the cowards and reprobates in our society who want to shrink powerful women down along with their sexuality far too easy a way to do it. That's why "naughty" is a word we refuse to use. We think getting naked in a public park in this set of photos only makes Hayley-Marie all the more beautiful. More...

Ashlеy Pеrry: naturally nude?

We get a lot of emails but the ones that annoy us the most are from writers complaining that all of our models in every shot are not completely naked.

"Nudity is a woman's natural state" they tell us, meaning "nudity is a women's proper state", an idea they have no doubt gotten from one of the nude sites out there that boasts about their "virtue" of featuring nothing but fully nude photos of very young women. "Why oh why aren't your models naked all the time?" these emails wail, as if putting clothes on women was some kind of affront to decency and good sense. We almost expect their next sentence to be "women should be barefoot and pregnant."

Okay, here's the thing: there is no such thing as "natural" beauty in women. Tigers don't find human women beautiful. Neither do human babies. In fact, human children don't even draw bodies on their stick figures until they are over 3 years old! (Yes, we are aware of the "scientific" experiments "proving" that human babies respond to pretty female faces but it has yet to be shown if they are responding to beauty or something else in the faces they see. We're betting it's something else.)

Nudity is not a natural state for a woman. Full nudity is a natural state for new-born infants, and animals. Those who believe women should be naked all the time seem to see women as some sort of helpless wild sexual babies - a very difficult image to form in any sensible mind. (Although many nude websites these days do their best to create this image.)

The beauty of the nude female body is not natural, but it is profound. It is part and parcel of the most amazing thing in the universe: the human mind. Female beauty exists only because the human mind exists. For example, if you like wide hips in a woman it's because in your mind you want a woman to be mature and sexual. If you like a thin waist it's because in your mind you want to hold her, or you want a woman who is not - or has not been - pregnant. If you like big boobs perhaps it's because you need nurturing. All of the physical qualities we find attractive in women represent something we want in a woman in real life. And it's this wanting that makes those qualities beautiful to us, not the qualities themselves.

As much as some people like to pretend otherwise nature requires us to think to survive, and most humans think clothes makes sense for all kinds of very good reasons, protection and comfort highest among them. The human mind is part of our nature, and must be considered in any discussion of what is proper for women, or beautiful in them. This doesn't mean nudity cannot be beautiful in a woman - obviously nudity can be very beautiful indeed. It simply means that nudity is not the single proper state for women in general as many emailers try to tell us. A woman's mind must be included in any discussion of what is proper for women.

But if you're honestly looking for the proper state for maximum beauty in a woman, you must figure out what the proper things a woman should be in order to live a good life. Certainly those things will include just as many qualities of character as physical traits. And when a woman is nude and her physical beauty is visible due to some specific circumstances that require admirable qualities of character (bravery, independence, freedom, happiness perhaps) then that is when a woman is potentially in her most beautiful "state". But it is not a "natural" state and does not happen automatically.

There is a strange resistance in most humans to acknowledge values - especially character values - or to take responsibility for their own actions, so much so that many prefer to abdicate their judgment completely and hide their thoughts and behaviour in the jungles of the "natural", hoping somehow that nature will make all their choices and solve all their problems for them. These are the people who are actually offended by and complain when women wear clothes. But we all know on some primordial level, don't we, that there is nothing friendly to naked human women in any jungle on earth. More...

Pеtа Tоdd: fighting to save the world

We've been watching a lot of Spоrts Illυstrаtеd swimsuit videos lately and we've heard some of the models criticize themselves a few times saying things like "after all, we're not saving the world here." It struck us suddenly as no coincidence that these are the same criticisms leveled at modeling in general by mysoginists of all kinds: people who say it degrades and objectifies women. We expect this from people who hate beautiful women, but we find it very sad indeed to hear the models themselves agreeing with people trying to put them out of work. And especially distressing when we remember that saving the world is exactly what Spоrts Illυstrаtеd - and modeling in general - is meant to do. By "modeling" we mean the artistic meaning of the word, which is: presenting images of beautiful, happy, powerful women, not for the purpose of selling anything, but for the purpose of inspiring admiration. Of course, the creators of SI swimsuit claim they are just selling magazines. But to do this, the only goal and requirement of the photos themselves is beauty. And that makes their swimsuit photos art. Now some sour, beaten down people who do not like exquisite photos of beautiful women expertly taken may be inspired to denounce and sneer at the model's attempts to be artistic. They wake in the mornings and greet the world with a groan and a resentful grimace. They are the kind of people who don't care what happens to them or the world, and they have been running the world for far too long. Happily, there are those of us who greet each day with a hopeful smile. No we're not insane. We simply want a great life. The life we imagined when we were young. So we are grateful for any image we can find of happy, successful, brave, beautiful people. Images of the world the way we hoped it to be. They inpsire us to cheer up and live each day to the fullest. Good people doing good things is the only way to "save the world", and SI inspires good people. So we will keep watching our SI videos hoping to hear "we are saving the world here." Then it might actually be true. More...

Laura: the moment

There comes a moment in the life of every beautiful woman when she reaches the peak of her beauty. It could last for a just a week or two, or it could stretch out for a year. It could come early, as it does with those women who are never quite as beautiful as they are at eighteen or nineteen, still fresh faced and bright eyed. It could come when she's in her thirties or forties, when her looks have matured into fine features and wisdom behind the eyes. But it touches everyone at some point, and when it does, it's magical. It's as though everything comes together perfectly - glowing skin, lustrous hair, womanly curves on a slender frame, and that almost indescribable quality of a woman at her best. People call it "beauty" without ever really defining it, but it's so much more than that. It's beauty squared, it's beauty on steroids...it's the delicate, exquisite and fleeting moment that you know you're lucky to get a glimpse of. We don't know if this is Laura's moment, or if she'll mature into an even more beautiful woman, but if this is indeed her moment, we're grateful we got to see it. More...

Only in the UK?

March 19, 2012 - Over the years we mentioned beauty schools, admired movies like Mіlk Mоnеy, and said that sex-education must be about more than mating. That young men and women should see for themselves that beauty is, in fact, beautiful and that it is moral.

We thought that few people were brave enough to stand behind beauty. To reach out to our young and not teach them about multi-culturalism or environmentalism. To teach them that our bodies are not dirty, that finding a beautiful woman beautiful is healthy. Well, it turns out we were wrong. Someone was brave enough to do it, and not to our surprise, this happened in the UK:

It is a show called sexperience, and they actually go to actual schools, talk to teenagers, but they do not stop there. They show them male and female bodies. Tell them there is no reason to be worried or ashamed.

Around the end of the video, they talk to a girl who is overly embarassed. They ask her why she is so embarassed and she says that it is because what she is seeing is DISGUSTING. If she did not mean it, then that's the sort of hypocrisy that the -isms of today foster. If she did, then she has actually embraced an -ism of those. Do I think that she will be successful? Do I think that she will grow up to be a beautiful woman? I doubt it. In fact, I think she may grow up to be a feminist, or an anorexic, or both.

Being ashamed of your beauty is a grave sin, being ashamed of others' beauty is the first major step towards becoming a beauty-hater.

Why do we raise our children to be beauty-haters?

Why fear female beauty?

A recent email asked us "Why is female beauty feared?". "Feared?!", you might laugh. Actually, yes. When something is villified and mocked as often as female beauty is in our culture and society it is never because it is truly stupid, but because it is feared. For example why do we need to hear over and over what bimbos beautiful women are? No one makes fun of the mentally challenged for example. So we will take this question seriously. Female beauty is feared for many reasons but mostly because it makes us want it, which means we are required by it to try to achieve it, which means we have to think of a way to do that, and thinking is damn difficult. Thinking - even more than female beauty - is the most villified and abhored thing to we humans - most would rather die than think, which is why death and the future of mankind comes to be mentioned in the same breath with it in many cases. This is the full picture, the other half of the modern ethos, the positive half, that female beauty is treated like a threat to all that is wholesome and good because in fact female beauty is all that is wholesome and good and is a threat to all that is bad and wrong. People fear female beauty, not because it's evil or destructive, but because it's good, and because you have to think to see that. More...

Unabashed beauty

There's a strange phenomenon out there, perhaps you're aware of it too. All over the world, beautiful women are doing...nothing. Maybe they'll show up briefly in a cosmetics ad, or in a tongue-in-cheek bit part that calls for a bodacious, almost excessively beautiful woman. Bimbo # 3, the credits might glancingly call them. Maybe they'll make fun of themselves on reality shows for has-beens and washed up 70's B-listers. Whatever inconsequential or insulting gig they manage to score, at the end of the day, it all amounts to...nothing. It's as if no one knows what to do with such beauty anymore. Are there any movies being made that call for a statuesque, stunning woman? Most scripts these days seem to require small, elfin little girl-women. Are there any artists creating timeless, sensuous odalisques that can only be modeled for by the most voluptuous of women? Modern art is rife with abstract nonsense that tries hard not to represent anything, let alone beauty. Even the world of modeling has gravitated toward boyish, grim looking models with no hips or breasts to speak of. So this is where we come in, and where photographers like Wаltеr Bоsqυе manage to light a candle in the darkness. In this simple set of Zahyra, Walter shows us that, when the world has run out of uses for beauty, at least there are photographers who see the value in capturing a woman's unique, ephemeral and inspiring loveliness, just for it's own sake. There's no need for excuses, no moral sanction required, no self-deprecation or shame allowed - just the sheer enjoyment of looking at one of nature's most delightful creations in all her glory.

The achievement of admiration

Being able to perceive, appreciate, and admire the beauty of a woman is something that is earned. It involves a lot of work, but is probably the most exciting journey in life. Once we discover the beauty of our dream woman, we discover our own beauty. The beauty of a woman is a reminder of our choices, a spiritual process in which we see our own true selves. Admiration does not necessarily lead to love, and does not necessarily lead to a desire to possess. It is a process in which we see the actions of a woman or the poses of a model and associate them with things that we personally know. The meanings of those actions or poses may not always be perceived by the woman whose beauty we admire: it is a personal experience more than anything. Perceiving the beauty of a woman requires you to be able to perceive your OWN beauty and the beauty in everything. You are required to filter out the trash-talk commonly employed by beauty-haters in an attempt to hide that beauty. The beauty industry is supposed to be about the women who reject that talk, about supermodels and people who have positive aspirations and can project them. But it does not always work that way due to the beliefs of those involved. Many are uncomfortable with what beauty represents, and many women bury their beauty in nonsense-talk about how meaningless or ridiculous it is. But a woman who rejects that kind of talk is truly inspiring, truly beautiful. Hers is the ultimate achievement in beauty, and appreciating her, is yours. More...

Glее Stаr Hеаthеr Mоrrіs Nоt Ashаmеd of her Nudes

March 13, 2012 - Hеаthеr Mоrrіs had some nude pictures of her leaked. The pictures are now circulating freely around the Internet, and it doesn't sound that major, right?

It turns out this is not the first time Heather had to deal with this. She had this done to her before, but her response to her first leak is what caught my attention.

Her response to the first leak was:

"I understand completely where it came from. For me, I think they are beautiful. It's not something I'm ashamed of. Everybody should do tasteful beautiful nudes - so when you get older you're gonna be like, 'Oh that's when my body looked so great!'"

One of the main qualities of a beautiful woman is not being ashamed of her beauty. Kudos to Hеаthеr Mоrrіs for choosing to be the beautiful woman she is.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: real life fantasy

Watching a Penthouse swimsuit video the other day, it became obvious why we like to feature beauty in everyday situations here at Body in Mind. The ladies in the video were predictably Penthouse material - breasts like basketballs, long blood red fingernails, sneering come-hither looks as they rubbed their palms suggestively over the taut cheetah-print fabric of their bikini bottoms. The message was clear; these women's sole purpose for existing, it seems, is sex. They sway and pout and moan like they're at the height of orgasm, they call to a man's sexual desire but provide nothing for his mind, his plans, or his dreams for his life. That's what's wrong with it. No woman is ever just a sexual being, any more than any man is. No woman is ever defined solely by her ability to feel or inspire lust, and helping men to think that this is true only demeans men and their complicated desires. We prefer to show beauty in every part of life, as part of a woman's whole being, as something she poseses while she's working, or playing, or relaxing, or just being herself. We like to show that you can appreciate a woman's beauty in reality, and not just as a temporary fantasy figure. When you remove the luridly sexual component of appreciating beauty, it's much easier to savour it, and enjoy it for the uplifting and wonderful thing that it is. That's the kind of world we want to live and be sexual in: the real one. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: clearly beautiful

We see a lot of potential models in our line of work, either through active scouting or through submissions that come from those who want to be featured on our site. You would think it'd be easy to select women with that special look or obvious beauty, but it really isn't. A lot of women these days go to great lengths to modify their bodies or otherwise present themselves in such a way as to make us wonder what they actually look like. Is that girl with the heavy eye makeup, teased hair, bee-stung lips and fake breasts genuinely attractive? Or is she a master of disguise, showing us only a hyped-up version of herself that in no way reflects who she really is? Furthermore, can you tell from the poses in her photos whether she really does have a curvy, feminine body, or has she just found the one angle that makes her look her best? We don't blame women for trying to make themselves look their best, but when it comes to modeling, we think honesty is the only policy. That's why it's so refreshing to come across someone like Hayley-Marie, someone who is clearly beautiful no matter how you look at her, no matter what angle her body takes, or whether she's wearing make up or not. It's in the automatic, almost punch-in-the-gut reaction you have at the first sight of her, when you say "Wow, what a beautiful woman." You never have to wonder if it's just the lighting, or the makeup, or the clothes - with a woman like Hayley, she's just beautiful. Clearly. More...

Big versus Little?

Proponents of file-sharing would have you believe it's about the big bad greedy corporations against the poor little guy. But what about the small-time creator who can't afford to create a movie, song, program, or photograph because his work is being stolen and shared without making him a dime? And who suffers more? The media giants and big production companies who can afford to take some losses or the little creator who cannot? And what about the huge internet corporations that makes billions by facilitating file-sharing and defending copyright infringement? [You know who they are.] Who makes more pure profits? The production companies with billions in expenses and declining profits? Or the file-sharing websites who pay nothing for their stolen content and enjoy unrestricted profits? It's just bizarre to us that hundreds of millions of people keep putting down little producers [like us] for the "greed" of fighting for their copyrights while they praise huge internet corporations who make billions violating those copyrights. Why would so many people prefer big corporations who make money from stolen art over those who produce that art? And why would they prefer the poor little guy who steals movies and music over the poor little guy who produces them? Do you? More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: striporama

Do you ever wonder why the striptease was ever invented? Or why it continues? Why don't women just come out nude, do a little dance, and show off their whole bodies right from the get-go? Is it because, as some people think, that men like the slow tease of a woman gradually, almost tortuously, revealing herself bit by bit? We don't think so. We think it has more to do with the whole experience of a woman. Men like looking at women in all their states of dress or undress - the fact that a fully-dressed woman can easily turn heads on the street, or the fact that swimsuit issues always sell out are proof that nudity isn't always a strict requirement for appreciating beauty. We love it when gorgeous women are brave and benevolent enough to share their nude beauty with us, but we also love it when we get to enjoy the way a sleek bikini hugs their curves or a beautiful dress brings out the color of their eyes. So if you're one of those guys who has to skip right to the end to get to the nudes, go ahead. We feel sorry for you, but go ahead, there's plenty of full nudes there to satisfy you. But if instead you're a more discerning lover of women, take your time and enjoy the full spectrum of Rаchеllе Wіldе's beauty in all it's stages. More...

The right to keep happiness

Thе Dеclаrаtіоn of Independence declares the right of all men to the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately it fails to declare the right of all men to keep it. For example, if it makes you happy to make music and sell it, what is the point of letting someone take it and your profits away from you? Yet that's exactly what the US government does. If you record a song, and someone steals it and sells it, under current copyright laws in the US, you, not the government, are required to find the thief, you have to pay for any legal action against him, not the courts. Lіkе Amеrіcа's founding fathers we are witnessing the destruction that comes from bad government and legalized theft. What we need to protect copyrights once and for all is an amendment to the Declaration of Independence. Stealing is just plain wrong. God knows it, and we know it. But when it comes to stealing intellectual property and taking the profits from selling it, for some reason, everyone pretends not to know it. Perhaps it would be harder to pretend if the right to keep the happiness we pursue and achieve - our property and profits - was enshrined in America's most cherished legal document. More...

Laura: the swimsuit edition

Evеry Fеbrυаry the Spоrts Illυstrаtеd Swіmsυіt Edіtіоn comes out and a winter weary world wakes up and takes notice. Every talk show hosts mentions it. Every women's group denounces it. And every pro athlete shops for a new girlfriend. Every guy sneaks a peek in the local drugstore when his girlfriend isn't looking. Every girlfriend wishes she looked like that in a bathing suit. And the covergirl always becomes a household name. And yet every year this bountiful hi-gloss cornucopia of beach babes fails to be praised as it deserves for making all of our lives just a little more exciting. The female body is indeed a powerful force, a force of beauty, of arousal, of life-giving attraction. Yet where are the celebrations? Where are the silent prayers of thanks? Where are the monuments? They are indeed rarer than a bikini in February. So we decided to dedicate this set of Laura to the naked spirit and hard-bodied goodness of the annual SI Swіmsυіt Edіtіоn. Long may she splash in the surfs of the world and the winters of our lives! More...

Invasion of privacy

It's ironic that all the opposition to copyright legislation in the US and now sweeping across Europe is based on accusations that such laws would empower governments to extend their reach into people's private internet activites, meanwhile the darling of the anti-copyright movement, Google, one of the biggest and richest corporations in the world, has internet reach and records that the government actually borrows when it needs information. Google has internet monitoring software on probably 75% of the websites in the world and has just forced their users to accept a single privacy policy that will make their emails and personal habits open to Google indexing and searching, and recording. In fact, Google has just offered to pay people to allow its monitoring technology into their actual homes. If there's two things the anti-copyright movement is not afraid of it's big power and invasion of privacy. If they were they would be afraid - very afraid - of Google. More...

Alece: I'm up here!

It was the end of the shooting day, and we spotted the old ladder resting up against the back of the barn. Let's do a set over here, we thought, eyeing the vine winding up the side of the ladder and the blanket of lush greenery beneath it. Several poses came to mind - maybe she could peek out from behind the rungs, or sit coquettishly on the bottommost one. Maybe she could even lay in the grass and let her long legs stretch up the rails of the ladder. When we ran these ideas by her, she bit her bottom lip. Well...she said...I like those ideas, but you see...I've had poison ivy fourteen times, and I'm pretty sure that's what's at the base of that ladder. So out came the yellow wellington boots so she could walk through the dreaded patch, and brown shoes for her to get her footing properly before flinging them off. We would have moved onto another location, but Alece was such a good sport, she was more than happy to cling to the ladder and pose from the safety of her wooden perch. It wasn't until after the shoot that it occurred to us to ask...fourteen times? More...

Two copywrongs make a copyright

Last month we saw two major developments in the enforcement of copyrights around the world. The FBI busted Megaupload and arrested its owner, charging them both with money laundering and copyright infringement AND the proposed US legislation to protect Americans from copyright infringement - SOPA and PIPA - was defeated. It's no coincidence. SOPA and PIPA were designed to ban websites in other countries who systematically violate the copyrights of Americans, but the legislation was defeated by a spontaneous coalition of some of the richest corporations in the world like Google and Facebook and the people who believe that copyrights are out-of-date, unfair, and over-reaching. The anti-copyrights movement tries to pretend that copyright infringement isn't stealing. But it is. This is why the FBI was then forced to go into other countries to arrest people, seize assets, and shut down companies. Systematic copyright infringement is taking billions from the US economy and tens of thousands of jobs. And when people prevented copyrights from being protected by SOPA and PIPA in a non-violent, civilized way, the government was then forced to resort to brute force and invasions of other countries to protect its citizen's rights. If advocates of the "free mind" really believed in peace and rational process of law they would have supported SOPA and PIPA overwhelmingly. But in reality they only believe in stealing. And stealing is an inherently violent act. On some level they understand this, and this is why there is no spontaneous coalition to defend Megaupload. More...

Laura: let it snow!

For most of us the winter blues have set in and we're hunkering down, trying to ignore the lovely flakes of snow falling gaily outside our windows, thinking about hot beaches and warm tropical breezes in some sunnier place. For those of us with someone warm to wake up with in the mornings it's not so bad because love is immune to the cold. Love doesn't care what season it is or what the weather forcast is predicting. In fact, very often love springs into our lives even in the dead of the darkest, coldest winter. And when it does, our lives ignite with passion, winter is set ablaze, the snow becomes our playground; we laugh at the cold together. We wanted to do a photo set with this message, and a model who could make it real. We said, "let it be Laura." And she said happily, "Let it snow!" Winter, sometimes, can be the nicest time of the year. More...

Naked female mechanics

One of the greatest tragedies of the modern world is that as much as men adore women and love sex they are ashamed to admit it, so they invariably end up hiding it, relegating the huge part of themselves that worships what men and women can be together to the dark and fetid realm of demented sexual fantasy where love begins to look more and more like hate. But if you believe that life is for living then you must also agree that love is for loving and the world is for living in, and that means we owe it to ourselves to bring what we love into the real world where it can be lived. This doesn't mean we should have sex in the street - that would simply be an over-reaction and an over-simplification: it is not sex we are talking about here, it is our love of sex, which means of women, of romance, of marriage, of beauty, of adventure. These are the aspects of "sex" that need to be lived openly - both to remove their social stigma but also because the real world is the only place we have to experience these things. We don't have any other real world, and we don't have any other real love. The two belong together, just as men and women do. More...

Kеlly Hаll: morning news

We're saddened after the Sоυth Cаrоlіnа Republican candidate debate. None of the candidates supports the Stоp Intеrnеt Pіrаcy Act, the proposed legislation that will empower the American government to protect its citizens from internet piracy. Rіck Sаntоrυm at least supported fighting piracy in principle, but the concensus seemed to be that companies like Google, Youtube, and Facebook represent the fastest growing segment of the economy so it would not be a good time for any legislation that could effect them. But if this is true, if the internet is growing so fast, then why does the American economy continue to shrink at an unprecedented rate? For 15 years the US courts have been unwilling to rule against any major copyright infringing sites on the basis that copyright laws have always been meant to protect innovation. But what they fail to understand is that this was never meant to include innovative ways to break the law! The 15 year-old honeymoon with internet technology needs to end, and we need to realize that the only reason the internet appears to be the fastest growing segment of the economy is because almost everything on it is stolen. No wonder businesses dedicated to copyright infringement are growing at record rates; and why, as they grow, the US economy continues to worsen. More...

Stop online piracy

Opponents of the Stоp Onlіnе Pіrаcy Act wail that it will mean the death of free information on the internet. But information - be it photos, movies, music, software or scientific data - is never free anyway. Information of any kind must be discovered, created, or recorded, and that takes work, and that work must be done by a person, and that person needs to be free to set the price for his work. A free internet means the creator or legal owner of information has the right to set his own price for his information. He can make it free or he can charge what you are willing to pay, or he can ask the highest price possible. That is what's known as the free flow of information, and it applies to the internet, and anywhere else for that matter. The free flow of information on the internet is the same as free trade in economics. Free trade means buyers and owners are free to buy and sell goods, services, or ideas. It means a seller cannot be forced to sell for less than he wants and a buyer cannot be forced to pay more than he wants, and if an agreement can't be reached then no transaction occurs. The owner is free to ask whatever he wants (including nothing) and the buyer is free to agree or walk away. Anyone who thinks they are entitled to someone else's work without paying the asking price is a thief at heart. The fact that information should be free to flow from person to person, across all borders, doesn't mean that it's okay to steal someone's information, share it, or sell it without permission and without paying. Free trade doesn't mean everything should be free; and the free flow of information doesn't mean all information should be free. On the internet today we are witnessing the battle over who owns information: its creators or its thieves. SOPA says creators do. Its opponents say it belongs to the thieves. More...

Alece in your shirt

The aroma of coffee wakes you, and before you can even turn over to reach for her she's up and slipping out of bed, her naked back arching gracefully as she yawns and stretches. She glances over her shoulder at you playfully, and you could look at her all day, taking in the litheness of her elegant body and the way her hair falls softly across her face. She stands up to pad barefoot to the kitchen, the coffee more alluring than you are for the time being. As she passes the end of the bed she grabs your shirt, the one you slung over the edge of the dresser last night, and slides her arms into it. It swims around her slim frame, and the sleeves fall down past the ends of her fingers, but she looks adorable in it. She stops to hold the collar to her face and inhale deeply and hugs herself with delight. She loves the lingering hint of you on the fabric, loves surrounding herself with you. She sees you watching her and does a little peekaboo show, wrapping herself tightly in the shirt and then flinging it open like a burlesque queen, laughing with delight. And you know with certainty that this isn't just your shirt anymore, and you don't mind at all. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: trash glam

If you'd asked someone 20 years ago if the trashy, plucked-eyebrow, fake-tanned, gelled-hair, gold-chain wearing crowd would become a media sensation worth millions, they would have laughed at you. Those guys? The "Guidos" and the "Guidettes"? No way. Yet here we are, subjected almost daily to the exploits of the residents of Jеrsеy Shоrе and the like. Mental giants like "Thе Sіtυаtіоn" and "Snooki" - who thinks the ocean is salty due to whale sperm - and their obsession with the superficial (and a generally overwrought and trashy superficial at that) are now millionaires, enjoying the high life and influencing style. Some say that they are media darlings because we like to laugh at them, but who's really laughing? And is it any wonder that women will start to emulate the trash glam look - it is on tv, after all - thinking that it's what makes them 'hot'? Bеtwееn Snооkі and the Kardashian clan, it's no wonder women are rejecting notions of a fresh, natural look and decking themselves out in gaudy jewellery, gold shoes and a snotty attitude. Ashley was a good sport in helping us poke fun at this sub-culture, and expert as always in showing us that her true, natural beauty underneath is what's really "mint". More...

In defense of the Stоp Onlіnе Pіrаcy Act

Opponents of the Stоp Onlіnе Pіrаcy Act wail that it will allow the U.S. government to shut down any website it doesn't like and will pave the way to unbridled censorship on the internet. But the U.S. government needs the power to restrict websites who break the law for the same reason it needs the right to put criminals in jail, and SOPA merely gives them this power. It doesn't allow the government to shut down any law-abiding website. The government gained the power to prosecute criminals when America was founded, but that didn't give it the power to put innocent people in jail. Similarly if SOPA passes, the government will gain the power to restrict access to criminal websites (such as those dedicated to illegal file sharing and copyright infringement), but not the power to restrict the honest people on the internet. The court system was created to make sure the government imprisoned only criminals, and the same system will protect innocent websites from being restricted. The internet wasn't around when America was founded, and so the American system has no power to restrict criminal activity online. The SOPA is intended to correct this shortcoming and to give the U.S. government the power to protect its citizens from internet criminals. How can anyone but a criminal have a problem with that?

No new art, ever?

The file-sharing website Megaupload has launched a lawsuit against Unіvеrsаl Mυsіc Group, and it might mean nothing less than the end of new art being created in human civilization. The details of the case are actually not that important. What is significant - and downright terrifying - is that a company that specializes in making money by allowing millions of people to share music, movies, software, and photos on the internet has made enough money doing it that they can now afford to sue a major music corporation. Megaupload claims it fights copyright infringement by deleting reported files and by closing the accounts of repeat copyright infringers. But obviously, if Megaupload deleted all illegally posted files and all copyright infringers they would lose most of their income. Megaupload charges a fee to download files, and even if the files are removed for copyright infringement, Megaupload can legally keep the money they made. Record companies, movie studios, and porn sites are now in grave danger. File-sharing companies seem to be making more money from their artwork than they are. To protect themselves copyright owners should have spent as much money as possible to have the current copyright legislation, the Dіgіtаl Mіllеnіυm Cоpyrіght Act, struck down for the unfair burden of forcing them to police their own copyrights. If they'd been successful the laws that offer government protection for copyrights in magazines, newspapers, television and movies would have applied to the internet as well. These laws would have held file-sharing companies like Megaupload responsible for copyright violations the same way it has held these other publishers responsible. Copyright laws worked for decades without a hitch, until the DMCA came along. The DMCA has protected thieves and burdened creators for so long that the artist or creative company that can afford to launch a lawsuit in defence of its copyrights may now be a thing of the past. How long will an artist produce new work when it is constantly being stolen? How long can a society or civilization survive without art that is worth paying for being made? We're not sure but we think we're about to find out. More...

Cat in a country bath

Picture a hot summer day, and an old country house long left to the ravages of time. Cat is out strolling through the long grass and happens upon the grand old home, sitting at the top of a sloping hill that overlooks the sea. It's cool inside, and quiet, and Cat can't resist taking refuge from the blazing sun. The wood floors creak beneath her feet, and the stairs moan from disuse as she makes her way to the second floor. A bathtub, the old clawfoot kind sits invitingly beneath a bright sash window. How can she resist? She fills a pail with water and lowers herself into the cool cocoon of the tub, luxuriating in how deliciously cold the ceramic feels against her hot skin. What a simple pleasure, gently washing the grit and grime of a summer's day from her body. She dips the sponge into the pail and squeezes drops of sudsy water onto herself, smoothing the lavender scented soap down her breasts, her thighs, her legs. She could stay here all day, listening to the wind rustle through the long grass outside. She closes her eyes and drifts away, until the sun sinks low in the sky and it's finally, sadly, time to go.

Kеlly Hаll: pleasant surprises

An unfortunate woman was executed last week in Sаυdі Arаbіа for witchcraft. More than 20 years ago I predicted the modern return of the Salem witch hunts. Back then it was probably inconceivable to most people. But because witch hunts and executions are always a cover up for hatred of female beauty, and unless we as a species realize this, such atrocities - and worse - will always be in store for beautiful women. Because hating women for being beautiful is so clearly unjust, those who do it always feel the need to hide it. In the last few years the world has so loudly denounced Islamic sharia law for executing women for sexual "crimes" that Sаυdі Arаbіа is now pretending these women are "witches". 20 years ago I also predicted that if we expose and fight the haters of beauty that the future could hold beautiful nude women presented with respect in movies, television, ads and magazine articles. That hasn't happened yet. But we created this set of Kеlly Hаll to show everyone what this might look like. Let's hope, at the close of 2011, that the future still holds some pleasant surprises for human kind. More...

The best country in the world

We've all seen those internet lists of the best countries in the world to live in. The latest one tells us that people in Norway are happier than anywhere else. They feel freer, more optimistic, financially sound, and think more highly of their fellow man. But at Body in Mind we've always had another test of where it's best to live. We judge countries the way we judge individual men: by their attitude towards beautiful women. Whіlе Sаυdі Arabia has deteriorated to the dark ages by beheading women for being "witches", England remains the most advanced country in the world by allowing their most beautiful women to appear topless in the daily newspapers. The fact that England still values beautiful women means they also value true political freedom, human rights, and enjoyment of life on earth, probably more than any country on earth. It's the only country where every man can wake up and have breakfast with a woman like page 3 girl, Rhіаn Sυgdеn. More...

Alece homefire

We all start to hibernate at this time of year. Winter's chill starts to whistle underneath our doors, the days are shorter, the sun sits differently in the sky. It's a shock to our systems, especially to those of us who live in climates that were so recently basking in the warmth of summer. Winter makes us want to hunker down beneath a warm duvet, sip a hot drink and shiver until spring. The heartiest amongst us find reasons to shake off the sleepiness and venture outdoors anyway, but even still we do so with the promise of warmth and comfort when we come back home. There's nothing more welcoming than a cozy fire in a charming cabin and a beautiful woman like Alece waiting for your return.

Lаυrа Dаydrеаm

Very occasionally, we'll receive an email from someone who joined our site and was disappointed. He was expecting more 'erotica' he says - meaning he wants porn but wants it wrapped in the moral sanction of a tasteful nude site. He was expecting more explicit photos, he says - meaning he wants graphic images of spread-eagled women, because if he doesn't see labia, nothing else matters. What baffles us, frankly - aside from how dim-witted someone would have to be to think bodyinmind is a porn site - is how blind to beauty some modern men are. How can any red-blooded man look at a hundred topless or nude images of a truly beautiful, vital, sensual woman and be 'disappointed'? What thought process goes through a mind like that? Does he think to himself 'she's more beautiful than any woman I've ever encountered or will encounter, she's happy and courageous and free-spirited, and she's proudly showing me her naked body, but I think I can do better"? If this is what modern men have been duped into thinking by the sheer tonnage of porn images available these days, that's the real disappointment. Beauty is meant to be savored and enjoyed, cherished and valued - if a woman who used to live only in your daydreams can now smile at you from your computer monitor, be gracious enough to appreciate her. And if the thousands of porn sites out there aren't enough to satisfy you, maybe beauty is precisely what you need after all. More...

Every girl's dream

I watched the Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt Fаshіоn Shоw on TV last night, and to my surprise I actually enjoyed it. In spite of the network's warnings that the show might contain content harmful to children I was impressed with the princess, fairy, and angel costumes it featured. In spite of the newsflash beforehand demonizing Wаynе Grеtsky's daughter for posting some cute "lingerie" photos of herself online I admired the mind-blowingly beautiful models happily strutting their stuff. And in spite of a decade of denunciations in Western media since 9/11 at the same target as that of militant Islam: sexy women in the media, the Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt Fаshіоn Shоw has survived. The reason is because human dreams - and that includes the dreams of little girls and women - are not a dangerous luxury or extravagant indulgence. Dreams are absolutely necessary for human survival. Without them, we lose our way, wither, and die. So the only question really is: are we going to embrace and encourage little girl's dreams, or are we going to continue to vilify them and insist they adopt the dreams of men instead, risking the entire future of humankind? Thе Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt Fаshіоn show is perhaps the only popular voice shamelessly offering dreams left in today's culture. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: public nudity

Public nudity might seem kind of fun and silly but it is also of the highest political import. It might seem like overkill but we at Body in Mind believe that everything humans do to limit each other is done in order to prevent beautiful women from being naked in public. Down through history it is easy to see that women are the most free in countries that honor individual rights, and the most persecuted and imprisoned in those that don't. Public nudity might seem fun and silly but can you think of even one other fun and silly pastime - one that also harms absolutely no one - that is so widely outlawed and forcefully punished? And as for those who claim a woman's nude body can harm children, all we ask is that you present one such child. There simply are none. It's just another of the lies told by those who will do everything they can do to keep women's bodies out of sight. Such people are willing to become liars - others murderers - in order to accomplish it. Why? It's time we learned that public nudity is not only silly and fun, but good. And that those who attack it, are just plain bad. More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: nude ballet

While in Lаs Vеgаs we were privileged to see the Jubilee show at Bally's casino, the legendary spectacle featuring topless showgirls in glittering costumes. It was marvelous to see such a bevy of half naked beauties, of course, and even more wonderful to see topless women admired, appreciated, and not, for a change, blamed for all the ills of society. It made us wonder what it would be like if other art forms embraced toplessness as part of its esthetic. What if the ballet, arguably the most beautiful form of dance, were to present ballerinas in tutus and nothing else? Imagine running into such a danseuse backstage as she warms up for a performance. Imagine her concentration, her tight body flexing and stretching. For that matter imagine her performing nude, en pointe in her satin ballet slippers, more beautiful than any gossamer costume could make her. Wouldn't the beauty of her well-toned nude body add to the beauty of the dance? Is there any reason it should be hidden beneath a leotard? We'd like to see the spirit of the topless showgirls find its way into all art forms; the beautiful, elegant and well-respected ballet seems like a good place to start. And no dancer more beautiful than Peyton to be the first nude ballerina. More...

Rаchеllе Thе Sоftеr Sіdе

Sometimes, glamour photography can make even nude photos seem somehow overdone. Playboy and other glamour nude providers are famous for this. Through makeup and hair, jewellry and backdrop, provocative poses and facial expressions calculated to convey a kind of angry sexuality, many nude models seem anything but. The viewer certainly isn't seeing the real woman in the truest sense of the word; she may not be wearing any clothes, but she's far from naked, if naked means comfortable in her own skin, a little vulnerable perhaps, but always endearingly human. We have nothing against the idea of glamour, of instilling values in a photo that adds to the woman's overall beauty. But sometimes it's nice to remember that even the most glamourous women have a softer side, one that can be brought out with a calmer, more thoughtful approach than photographers usually use. We enjoyed slowing down with Rаchеllе Wіldе and allowing her softer side to shine - the more naked, the more beautiful. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn - the birth of Venus

Everyone knows "Thе Bіrth of Venus", the famous Botticelli painting that features a winsome woman with long flowing hair gliding on a sea shell towards the shore. The goddess Venus, or Aphrodite as she was also known, was said to have been born from the sea, a fully formed and beautiful woman that represented love and earthly pleasure. Plato believed that Venus represented two kinds of love; her physical beauty allowed the viewer's mind to better understand spiritual beauty, and that in looking at an image of her, a viewer would find his mind lifted to the realm of divine love. We believe that physical beauty isn't meant to guide one's spirit to an understanding of the divine, as awe-inspiring as it can be; rather we insist that it is a kind of spirituality in itself, a pathway to the divine in one's own heart. Beauty tells us what is sacred and meaningful in our own lives, not in some other imaginary realm. The physical pleasure we derive from the sight of a beautiful woman does lift our minds - but to our own higher purpose. Mаybе Bоttіcеllі understood this as he made his Venus the centre of the image, engaging the viewer and challenging us to find our own meaning in her wise and wistful smile. More...

Occupy beauty

To those who don't understand the 99% Occupy movement it's quite simple. Youth everywhere have taken to living in the streets of their cities in protest of...well, everything simply because we have been telling them for years that children are our future. They listened and believed it. And now that they've grown, these children want nothing less than the world. Our culture has worshipped the "wisdom of a child", so our young people now believe that wisdom is not necessary, protesting every product of the mind: science, technology, education and government. Perhpas similar protests in Egypt that led to a regime change there are their inspiration. We have taught them that no culture is better than any other, and believing it they equate our democracies with Egypt's tyrannies. This movement proves how important it is to teach our children the right things, to teach them what we honestly believe rather than what is fashionably altruistic. They will learn what we teach them. This is why we need to teach them that female beauty is good not bad. Contrary to what many think, the next generation will grow up listening to and believing exactly what we say. More...

Nude models with the right stuff

We don't like porn at Body in Mind. Sex is great. Nudity is wonderful. Beauty sublime. But porn? At its best porn aspires to these things, but it is doomed to fail by its very nature. The sex is always fake, so how could it be passionate? And beauty? Porn features body parts that rarely show up in art precisely because they are not beautiful. In fact, most nude photo sites these days border on outright porn, not surprising when you learn most of their models are porn stars. Body in Mind prefers models who are not porn stars, like Cat. We prefer women who model nude in order to feel beautiful, and to make beautiful photos, like Alece. We make photos not porn, photograph sensuality not sex, and feature beauty not body parts. But it is our models - and the fact that they are real women - that we and our members love most of all. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: baring fruit

There are many things throughout a normal woman's day that require her to wear clothing. The fantasy of women being nude all the time is the fantasy of women having nowhere to go and nothing to do. It's a fantasy for a mindless, purposeless woman. It's not our fantasy - we love thinking women, purposeful women - so occasionally our models wear clothes. And occasionally they don't. If they wear clothes it's because it suits their purpose, their job, their situation, or the style of photography. If they don't, it's not because they're mindless but because they think - they think it will be fun, or sensual, or erotic, or beautiful. Only a woman who thinks would want to be naked. And it's only beautiful if she is nude for a reason. More...

Hаppy Hаllоwееn from Body in Mind

When we were young, Halloween wasn't about being scared. It was a day to dream, to imagine what you wanted to be when you grew up, a chance to play pretend. And there was candy! - the dream of every kid. In those days, it was common to see little astronauts and ballerinas, cowboys and superheros. The scariest it ever got were witches with no front teeth and ghosts made at the last minute from our harried mothers' linen closets. Somewhere along the way, our society's fascination with the 'darker side' has possessed Halloween and made it into an excuse to publicly display all one's literal inner demons. Nothing is safe from it - girls aren't nurses anymore, they're zombie nurses with exposed jawbones. Boys aren't lumberjacks, they're ghouls with tattered checkered shirts. For us at Body in Mind, the innocence of a childhood holiday - whatever its roots in pagan superstition - should be celebrated as it once was: a chance to imagine and dream, to dress up and be playful, to just have fun. Hаppy Hаllоwееn. More...

Alece paradise

We don't put much stock in the bible, but there is something about the creation myth that we find intriguing. Whoever came up with the idea of a magical garden, the paradise called Eden, also knew enough to make sure there was a man and woman who were made for each other, and for whom nudity was part of their joyful, innocent state. This is the only part of the story that makes sense. Of course they would be happily nude in a garden paradise, in an existence without strife or worry; they were human beings in their natural state. If only the myth had ended there, instead of casting blame on Eve for the fall of man and introducing humanity to the concept of shame in one's body. We might still be living in a paradise of shame-free appreciation for the human form - especially the beautiful female form - if it had. More...

Our members praise us for our inventive and imaginative sets, each one different from the last, sometimes dramatically so - something not found anywhere else in the world of nude photography. But sometimes set ideas don't emerge until quite literally in the middle of another set. Like this one. Our model Laura got a call she couldn't ignore during our first shoot with her, and instead of taking a break she decided to keep modeling through it.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt and Pеtа Tоdd: catfight

It's hard to find a good cat fight. We never see two women scratching, kicking, and pulling each other's hair any more. These days, women in our media can kick butt with the best of the men - they are sword swirling, gun gripping, roundhouse-kick-to-the-head super heroines - all of them. Now, while we applaud strong women we also know that most women - indeed most men - cannot fight to save their lives let alone save the world, so there is an unsatisfying falseness about action movie fight scenes. And in the case of female combatants, there is a complete lack of femininity as well. Men enjoy watching women fight for the same reason they liking looking at women in the first place - because all that kicking, scratching, and hair-pulling is extremely feminine. It's uniquely female. Men never fight that way. That's also why it's arousing for men - when the cat-fighter's faces brush beside each other we wonder for a moment if they might kiss, or their clothes might rip off in all that tugging and pulling. In such a case we would get to enjoy a nude female body by accident, happily escaping society's strictures against female nudity. We don't like to see anyone fight, but if women do, we definitely prefer a cat fight over laser swords. More...

Thank you Suzie

For those of us living north of the equator, summer is sadly winding down. With the gloomier days and colder winds comes a most unwelcome sight - women on college campuses and city streets are beginning to cover themselves up against the chill. Gone are the high-cut shorts and mini-skirts, the bikini tops and small T-shirts. These days girls are more likely to dr4pе themselves in baggy sweaters and fussy scarves, layering themselves beneath figure-obscuring clothes. Luckily we live in an age of technological and philosophical salvation from such hardship. Our cameras can capture the bright and happy days of summer, and the modern world allows models like Suzie to feel free and happily naked as she revels in the sun. We often lament that there isn't more freedom for women to be safely, respectably beautiful in their own skin, but we haven't lost sight of the marvelous freedoms they do have in the Western world. Fоr Sυzіе who gladly shares her beauty with us, and for the enlightened thinking that permits women here to be nude without persecution or personal danger, we simply say, thank you. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: glamourizing nature

There are two distinct schools of nude photography in the world today: glamour and nude art. Glamour is mostly American and is often described as 'artificial', 'over the top', or 'trendy'. It involves pop fashions, big hair and big breasts (often fake), and lots of smiles (often fake). Playboy and Page 3 are examples. Nude art is mostly European and is often described as 'natural', 'an art study', or 'timeless', and involves full nudity, natural or barren settings (which are actually unnatural for humans), and erotic poses (often fake). Met-Art.com and most art galleries are examples. Yet both glamour and nude art deal only with one half of reality, and so, inevitably, end up as repetitive stereotypes, ultimately unsatisfying. Glamour focuses on only the man-made things and nude art only on nature - but both are requirements of human existence. (That's why glamour photos so often include nudity and why art photos so often involve technical mastery.) Therefore any truly wholesome nude photo will purposely contain elements of both the man-made and nature, and will be presented in a way that respects and glamourizes their integration: working together to make human life on earth a little bit better. That's what we always aim to do at Body in Mind, and we wish others would too.More...

Pеytоn Prіеstly: the equestrienne

Men have always loved professional women and the uniforms they wear. Nurses and their starched white, librarians and their horn-rimmed glasses, cops in their caps and gloves. The same is true for those privileged women who own horses. The modern equestrienne speaks to several stereotypes at once: she's passionate about something, she's wealthy, she's elegant, she's even aloof. When she stands there in her little velvet hat and skin tight jodphurs, gripping her riding crop in her sleek black-gloved hands, it's not hard to see where the image of the dominatrix came from. Yet the equestrienne, while undoubtedly sexy, isn't sexual per se. She is simply a woman unafraid to be alluring and powerful while pursuing her values, which makes her all the more beautiful.

Cat - erotic capital

British sociologist Cаthеrіnе Hаkіm has written a book entitled "Hоnеy Mоnеy: Thе Pоwеr of Erоtіc Cаpіtаl" in which she states that 'erotic capital' can be as useful to a woman as a university degree and that women have been conditioned not to exploit their attractiveness for personal gain. She defines erotic capital as a "nebulous but crucial combination of beauty, sex appeal, skills of self-presentation and social skills" which, if women were only brave enough to use, would put them well ahead of men in the workplace. She also blames radical feminists who "restrict women's ability to benefit from their one major advantage over men, and...humiliate women who gain money or status through such activities." Apart from the fact that we've been saying this for years, it's refreshing to hear someone else describe beauty as a valuable asset that someone should be able to use to her advantage. We've always known that a woman's allure can be a talent worth capitalizing on, just as the gorgeous courtesans of the last century knew, and while were in Nеw Orlеаns we were happy to give Cat the task of demonstrating what that might have looked like.

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: a healthy female

Every species of animal on earth has two sexes, each one actively interested in sex with the other. You can imagine that if one sex suddenly lost all interest in sex the other would go a little crazy. This is true for all animals. Yet for some reason human females seem oddly uninterested in sex with men. Avowedly repulsed by men's sexual organs they claim to prefer men's butts instead, and fully clothed firemen over nude men. A few women admit to unabashed love of men and men's bodies, but they are the exceptions. This explains why so many men are screwed up sexually, prefering porn to real women, obsessed with fetishes, resorting to violence at times, etc. But why would women have lost all interest in sex? Perhaps it's men's fault after all because men have villified female sexuality for centuries and made women afraid to be fully sexual. Only when women can be free to be as sexual as men will the human animal be a healthy species. More...

The nude scout

We recently spent a glorious fall weekend in the Hυdsоn Vаllеy of Nеw Yоrk state, and were lucky enough to have Alece with us for a photo shoot. Our location was Kаthlееn's Bаrn, a gorgeous 4 acre spread featuring a contemplative pond, a wild river, rolling hills, and a beautiful converted barn. It's the perfect place for mile high bonfires and natural nude photos. The tiny perfect college town of Tivoli is a stone's throw away and has the best pizza we've ever had. We decided to scout the location first before planning our shoots.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: keeping it real

We often receive complaints that our top model Nіkkаlа Stоtt never shows her, well, shall we call it her kitty? First of all, we have no patience for any guy who complains when a beautiful woman takes her clothes off. It's the classic glass is half empty/full thing. And really, if it's really that important why not just photoshop in something there for yourself? Some of the complaints come from guys who don't know Nikkala is one of the most popular British page 3 girls ever, and that those models are required by contract to pose only topless. But the main reason we admire her is that not showing everything allows a certain bit of romance. It inspires guys to imagine, and in so doing, dream not only of seeing every square inch of a woman, but more importantly, wonder what that woman might be like in real life. Ironically, a bit of modesty just might be the best way to keep it real. More...

The favourite

Sometimes we get asked which of our models is our favorite. When people ask this, it's usually to find out which lady we think is the most beautiful, and it's usually to determine which physical qualities we value the most highly. Is it the woman with the largest breasts? The longest legs? The prettiest smile or the warmest eyes? Or the one with the most charming personality? The answer is never that simple. Beauty is never that simple. The truth is that any one of our models can be our favorite at any given time. Our favourite is the woman whose bravery and benevolence shine through in the direct way she engages our cameras, in the unapologetic way she shows off her body without a hint of shame, in the conviction of the rightness of her actions that radiates from her eyes. Our favorite is the woman who owns her beauty and values it for the treasure that it is, and she should be your favorite too. More...

Living nude sculpture

We don't show a lot of gynecological detail in our photos on bodyinmind.com because we are not a porn site. We focus on objective beauty, not sex. A lady's breasts are objectively beautiful. Whereas between her legs? Well...not so much. We've found that guys who are a little too interested in "crotch shots" are the ones who don't have girlfriends. They might see beauty in them since attraction to genitalia is a substitute for a real girlfriend. But this is not a healthy kind of beauty (and is therefore not objective) because it is not condusive to relationships. Whereas breasts are meant by nature to attract men to women in real life. It's the only purpose they serve and they do it extremely well. This kind of beauty tends to inspire men to go out and get a girlfriend rather than use porn. We hope such men will pay close attention to our site. They might even learn how to get one. More...

Enjoy looking at me

She really likes it. That's what we noticed looking at these photos of Klaudia. She loves showing off her beauty, posing fully nude right in front of her living room window. We have also noticed that enjoying one's own value is the rarest thing in the world these days. Self-sacrifice is the unfortunate ethics of our age. On this the anniversary of 9/11 we are hearing many people reminding us that the only real heroes are the dead. Last night the winner of the 2011 Mіss Unіvеrsе contest beat out her more gorgeous runners-up simply by saying she believes her true beauty is on the inside. Selling her beauty short in order to be popular qualifies as inner beauty today only because it's a form of self-sacrifice - a sacrifice of honesty and integrity. No, what's truly beautiful are people who do something just for themselves, something that hurts no one, something that may even bring joy to others. Klaudia is our hero because she reminds us how good this can feel and how this should be the accepted ethics of any age. More...

Rаchеllе Wіldе: channeling Katy

Female singers dominate in our culture, especially those who have the good looks or flare to become iconic in and of themselves. Madonna is perhaps the most famous for pairing a definitive image with her music, but if raunchy, in-your-face sexuality isn't your thing, she can be a bit much. Lаdy GаGa is a self-styled freak, wilfully crossing lines and pushing fans out of their comfort zones. Not known for her beauty, she has instead focused on the outrageous, the bizarre, the artist-as-art chic. Which leaves Kаty Pеrry, a charming, wide-eyed throwback to a somewhat simpler esthetic. She's girly-girl and proud of it, happily wearing ribbons and bows, polka dots and bright colours. Her bubble-gum exuberance brings a kind of innocence to her music, the lyrics of which are often not the least bit innocent. Part pin-up, part vixen, part little girl and part hoochie mama, she manages to playfully embody all the stereotypes without taking any given one of them too seriously. We were inspired by her refreshing take on femininity, beauty and pure girlishness for this series with Rаchеllе Wіldе. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn - fantasy babe

Whether it's within anime, science fiction, graphic novels, video games, or on the cover art of fantasy novels, beauty is making a bit of a comeback these days. Nowhere else will you find gorgeous powerful women with big breasts and long legs being presented so frankly and so unapologetically. But there is a catch. These gorgeous women usually have one thing in common: they're not human. Elves, fairies, vampires, aliens with green scales or pink hair - it seems the only acceptable way to show a beautiful buxom woman is to remove her from reality, to depict her as some supernatural being that could in no way reflect on real women or real life. While we don't fully agree with that sentiment, it's worth noting that beauty anywhere is a good thing - so we had some fun with Hayley-Marie and turned her hot pink for this set, as an homage to all those fantasy babes. We just wish their beauty was totally acceptable here on earth as well. More...

Lаdy Gоdіvа - the first female superhero

We've always liked the tale of Lаdy Gоdіvа. In a way she was the first female superhero in history. Before her all the women of legend were villains of some sort. Bυt Lаdy Godiva used her beauty for good instead of evil. Her townspeople were starving. Her husband, the town governor, had agreed to lift his taxes if Lаdy Gоdіvа would ride through town completely naked. She did. The most popular version of the story, told by the religious authorities in the middle ages, was a tale of caution against the evils of nudity in which the townspeople were made to stay indoors and close their windows. The one fellow who dared peek (Pееpіng Tоm) was struck blind. But whether she hid in her hair and hung her head in shame or rather strode proudly mounted on her steed with her head held high, her smile glistening in the sun, is up to you. It's a legend and can be told by anyone in any way they like. We much prefer the latter version though, not only because it paints a picture of a woman in full possession of her beauty, but because the hiding version doesn't really make any sense. More...

Is beauty all washed up?

The popular theory says we find certain women attractive because we are programmed by our DNA. But lately our ideas of female beauty have changed so quickly that genetics simply can't explain it. For example, it's no longer enough for a woman to be pretty. Now she has to wear tons of make-up. Hair cannot be simply long and lustrous. Highlights and a cool cut are needed now. Youth has been replaced with the most up-to-date technological accessories. A curvy figure is nice as long as it fits into chic fashion. Yesterday's silly stereotypes have become today's popular definition of beauty because men have become unable to perceive beauty without them. Men have become like many other animals who need huge hints from the opposite sex to be attracted. Birds need bright feathers and frenetic dances. Insects need odors that can be smelled miles away. Men need clues like big hair and fake boobs when they can no longer perceive beauty for themselves. In reality DNA does not define beauty, ethics do. Our tastes change when our values change, and when we abandon morals, we lose the ability to perceive beauty at all. This is why today the superficial has replaced beauty. Which proves beauty preferences cannot be genetic. More...

Naked celebrities

Why are people so interested in seeing celebrities naked? Google any celebrity and you will see a long list of nudy sites promising photos. Mr.Skin has been posting - and making a living from - the nude scenes from all major motion pictures for almost 10 years. Photoshop has convinced many female stars to pose completely nude even when Hυgh Hеfnеr couldn't. In fact, pasting actresses heads on porn models' bodies has become somewhat of an internet art. Then there's the grainy, long-distance paparazzi shots of the rich and famous on vacation and half naked. Clearly there is a lot of interest in seeing celebrities nude. But we think it's not due to hyper-perviness of modern society. We think it's because we are tired of our bodies and our sex drives being derrided and villified and celebrities lend an air of glamour, fun, and respectability to the concept of nudity and sex. We like to see people we admire enjoying them because we want to enjoy them too. More...

Rhіаn Sυgdеn: artist's model

A snicker or sneer is likely what you will get. Mention nudity to anybody these days and see. As a civilization we seem to have completely lost the concept of nudity being something artistic. In fact, there was a time during the renaissance that art wasn't taken seriously unless its subject included the human nude. Whenever you see a nude human figure adorning an old post office, train station, or church you are looking at the remnants of that idea. You also see it in the topless models adorning page 3 of British tabloid newspapers. Sneer and snicker if you like, but page 3 actually represents respected public nudity. How else could its models go on in their careers to become presenters, newspeople or perhaps even politicians. Page 3 is a still-living cultural achievement not found anywhere else in the modern world, unmatched in all of human history. More...

Alece: she's got legs!

At Bоdy in Mind, we're not big on 'body parts' photography, the kind of images that zoom in on crotches or butts or a single boob, mostly because these kinds of photos tend to depersonalize the model and detract from her overall beauty. We like to present the whole woman as much as possible, to show what makes her a unique individual with a distinct personality and character. But that doesn't mean we aren't capable of noticing when a beautiful woman has characteristics that truly set her apart. Alece may have one of the most beautiful, soul-warming smiles we've ever seen, but she also has a pair of legs that just won't quit. Showing off those long, shapely legs and gorgeous smile is a testament to her one body part that truly makes her the unique and stunning beauty that she is - her mind. More...

Beauty - the art of the Positive

If beauty can save the world, as many believe, then art could be its saviour. Problem is, most people understand art even less than they understand beauty. So in the interest of saving the world, we'll explain them both to you now. Beauty is your values embodied in people or things. Art is creating images of those people and things. The key to both is values. Values are things you think are most important. If you think confusion, misery, terror, and death are the most significant things in life, your taste in art will reflect that. Most art today does. However, if like us you believe in truth, happiness, purpose, and life, you will prefer more positive oriented art, such as this set of Cat enjoying her own beauty. Some think positive, happy things cannot be art. They call it fluff. But if the embodiment of negative values can be considered art, so must the positive. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn - the summer of love

Nude photography really came into its own in the late fifties and early sixties. Groups of men joined 'camera clubs' so that they could trek down to the beach with a buxom beauty and snap away as she frolicked in the waves, and magazines featuring 'naturalists' - meaning beautiful nude young women, happily nude - were all the rage. The photography wasn't highly sophisticated - in fact by today's standards it was too bright and too high contrast, the smiles too high-wattage and the colors too vibrant. But that's what we love about those early nude photos - the sheer exuberance of them, the unmistakable joie de vivre present in every frame. It was a more innocent, more value-driven time, and those of us lucky enough to grow up with those images as our first taste of nude women are better men for it. More...

Don't forget beauty

Everyone has dreams. But what's amazing about human beings is that everyone is capable of forgetting their dreams. It doesn't seem possible perhaps, but how else can you explain people who accept less in life than their dream job, their dream home, or their dream lover? In fact, the vast majority of people do so. It might seem like an ironic cruelty of life for fate to give us all such pretty dreams only to let them slip away. But it's not. In fact, life reminds us repeatedly not to abandon our dreams, and does everything it can to inspire us to remember and achieve them. It does this with beauty. Beauty is life's way of reminding us of what we've forgotten. For example, when you see a beautiful woman she reminds you that you want to be the kind of man she would like, the kind you would like to be. She reminds you of your dreams. So dream on! And don't forget how important beauty really is. More...

Look into the light

Jаnоschе Sіmоn used only one light in this photo set of the vivacious and curvaceous Monika. We were impressed at the way the single light draws our focus to whatever Monika is feeling in each shot, or the way it isolates and glorifies the various parts of her wondrous body. It reminds us of the way the world is today. There is very little real objective female beauty left in the world today. Actresses and models all resemble 14 year old girls more than women. The women in music are all playing characters of one kind or another, none are just being themselves. Even porn has abandoned the big boobs and long golden locks that were once its mainstay in favor of younger-looking girl-women. Beauty is the representation of values; without its light there is no focus, no glorification, no lasting culture, no real values. Just a decline into darkness. Enjоy Mоnіkа. Look into the light.

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn - Thе Prіncеss Perogative

A beautiful woman was recently hassled by police in Nеw Yоrk City because she was riding a bicycle in a skirt. Article here. We've noticed the same negative male reaction to beautiful women many times lately, is varying degrees. For example a park ranger got aroused by one of our models posing nude but since he couldn't "have" her he got mean and kicked us out of a deserted forest. We saw the same reaction in the man who shot all those young women dead in Norway recently. And again in the newspeople who said "70 people were killed by the crazed gunman" leaving out "mostly young women". We hate this kind of reaction to female beauty. We believe instead in Thе Prіncеss Perogative. A princess can wear anything she likes - even nothing! - and no one can say anything against her since she can have their heads cut off (at least she could back when being a princess actually meant something). In reality, men are responsible for their own reactions to beautiful women and they need to learn how to handle their arousal. No one should ever be required to change their behaviour for the weaknesses, flaws or moral failures of others. In modern times Thе Prіncеss Perogative means a woman can be as beautiful as she likes in public, and the men around her will smack down any guy wimpy enough to attack her for it. More...

A new day of beauty

In our efforts over the last 14 years to recruit only the best artists and models to work with Body in Mind we've come to realize a very sad thing: that even the most talented people in the our industry will betray beauty. Body in Mind is founded on the fact that female beauty is one of the greatest things known to man. But time and time again we have seen great photographers using their talent and the beauty they create to sell porn. We see great models using their incredible beauty only as a launching pad to different careers. Some even go on to denounce their modeling days. This makes us even more grateful for the contributors we do have at Body in Mind who refuse to betray beauty or to flush it down the drain of porn. Beauty is not something you can betray and hope to survive. Beauty lights our way to our values, which means, to our futures, and to our happiness. Without beauty there is only darkness. And with it, there is always the promise of a new day. More...

Alece: nude yoga

Yoga is in the news a lot lately, with variations like Hоt Yоgа and even Nаkеd Yоgа springing up. Mainstream yoga has seen its image modernized a little, with clothing lines called Yоgа Tаrt adding to the sexiness of it. A lot of purists and feminists aren't happy with this development. They don't like yoga being 'sexualized', and they really don't like fitness magazines publishing images of 'naked or half-naked young women in yoga poses'. Which isn't a surprise to us - these types are always looking for a way to attack beauty. They take a healthy activity like yoga - which encourages women to be strong, agile, fit and confident - and complain about how fit and confident those women actually become. The message is clear - its okay to improve your fitness, it's okay to feel sexy, but you'd better not start looking sexy. With an attitude like that, Bυrqυа Yоgа can't be far behind. More...

Men surrounded by beautiful nude women

At Bоdy in Mind we receive a lot of emails asking us if the Bеаυty Pаrk, the place where only men with character and class are allowed in, and where beautiful women are paid to go nude, is a real place. The answer is yes, and no. It's clear to us that men have a real need to have beautiful women around them. It's the reason for the popularity of Budweisser cruises and camps, strip joints, and even whore houses. But what most men don't know is that women feel free to be nude only to the extent that the men around them have character, which means, men have to give women a good reason to want to strip. Most men cannot come up with such a reason so for them the Bеаυty Pаrk remains a fantasy. However, for men with character the Bеаυty Pаrk is quite real. For men with character, having beautiful nude women around is never a problem. More...

Nude in the real world

We find it interesting that many websites that feature female nudes brag about how their photos are so much better than anyone else's, not because they try harder but because they don't make any effort to make their photos at all. They praise themselves for never allowing the models any clothes in their photos, as if clothes can never be beautiful. They go on about how great their settings are, not because they are beautiful but because there is nothing in them. Elaborate backgrounds distract from the model they say. They mock the use of props or styling in a nude photo, as if putting a nude woman into the real world was absurd, as if they believe a beautiful woman should never be nude in real life. It seems clear to us that treating women as nothing more than a clump of nicely shaped human flesh to be kept in an empty box is nothing to brag about, and might even be something to seek help for. Instead we offer lovely Rhian, photographed nude in the real world, a world that includes clothing, props, a setting, an effort, and a life. Can there be any beauty without them? More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn - A Study in Beauty

Artists and scientists have been studying the human body for centuries in an effort to both understand and celebrate it. Some use the intricate plan of our bodies and the marvellous functioning of all its many integrated parts as evidence of intelligent design - surely something so perfectly engineered must have been assembled by a master's hand they say. Others point to the wondrous efficiency of evolution evident in the gradual distilling down of that which is essential to life. But despite centuries of effort to understand the human body, very little if any serious study has ever been devoted to the beautiful human. Her body functions as elegantly as anyone's, yet hers clearly possesses something extraordinary, something beyond that which is common to us all, something that is not really even necessary for procreation. What is the purpose of her beauty? Has anyone ever asked that question seriously? We have. And maybe, in looking at this study of Hayley-Marie's beauty, you'll find yourself asking it too. More...

How to survive the beauty park

We've written many times about the fabled place where beautiful women walk around topless or nude, posing for artists, playing chess, or simply chatting with admirers under a big shady tree all in a non-sexual way - it' called the Bеаυty Pаrk. Most men would think they'd died and gone to heaven, but in reality they'd be lucky to survive. Think about it: how would you react when greeted at the gate by Sаm Bυxtоn in her topless sweater and skirt for example? Would you be able to calmly answer her questions about your reservation and accomodation, or would you be overwhelmed and distracted by sexual fantasies? Could you really spend some pleasant non-sexual recreation time with a woman like her, or would you watch the ladies safely from afar, pining? The key to dealing successfully with powerful female beauty is to have something going on of your own. You need to have a life, which means: a career, a passion, a purpose. Don't go to the Bеаυty Pаrk to relax. Go to work. Your work will keep you calm, confident, and centered. And this will attract the ladies to you. It's true at the Bеаυty Pаrk. And it's true in life.

So much beauty and so little time

Nіkkаlа Stоtt has been modeling nude for 10 years. She was discovered by Thе Sυn newspaper in England and has regularly appeared on their page 3 feature ever since, selling untold numbers of papers for them. Early on she caught our eye. We compared her beauty to the that of Jеnnіfеr Cоnnеlly and Rаqυеl Wеlch. And we marvelled at the luck of all males that Nikkala routinely posed topless in her career where the other two did not. Nikkala appeared briefly in Dеυcе Bіgаlоw 2, but has no other motion picture credits. And this quite frankly baffles us. Nikkala herself is modest and unassuming, and has not chased movie roles, however, we can't understand why no one in the movie biz has chased her. The world should be ashamed that it has not made more use of the incredible beauty of Nіkkаlа Stоtt. And we are proud in our own way that we have done everything we could with it. There is much more we would like to have done, but we are just a small art site, and not a multi-million dollar corporation. More...

Great beauty is a form of greatness

Usually when gorgeous willowy blondes like Rhіаn Sυgdеn appear in entertainment or advertising we hear protests from politically correct people. Yet rarely do we hear complaints that glamour models or even porn stars are too beautiful. Why? If all women are beautiful, as the modern politically correct mantra goes, they why are there not more cries for average women to be in our glamour images, or in our porn? The reason is: glamour models and porn stars are generally considered to be superficial or slightly immoral. While the students, mothers and professional women depicted in advertising are generally thought to be ideals. The modern bias therefore doesn't mind if great beauty is used for immoral purposes. It only minds if great beauty is held up as an ideal. Instead of trying to convince us that gorgeous models are not really beautiful, the modern movement should be teaching us that beauty is not immoral. That way great beauty would not have to go slumming in porn, and moral women would be considered more beautiful. More...

Jυst Dаncе

Men love to watch women dance. It's not just the chance to unashamedly pay attention to their bodies, and it's not just the obvious delight that most women take in letting go and enjoying themselves. When a woman dances, and we find it beautiful, it's because her body passes through a series of poses that, if you were to freeze them in time (or in a frame of film, for instance), would each be beautiful on its own. An arch here, a turn of the head there, a certain jutting of the hip and a curve of the behind and you have a moment that you might not ever see off the dance floor. That's why when we had Laura in front of our cameras we put on some music and asked her to 'just dance' - and were lucky enough to capture some of her beauty in ways we might not have even known were there.

Alece - the fountainhead

Ayn Rаnd wrote Thе Fоυntаіnhеаd about a character she described as her ideal man. Hоwаrd Rоаrk, the hero of the book, is a fearlessly indepedent architect who compromises nothing and lives by his own effort and for his own reward. Rand imagined the highest qualities of a man and put them all into one representation, which still stands out today as an example of what true masculinity would look like were it allowed to flourish. We like to think that, if such a utopia were to exist, that the ideal woman would be allowed to flourish as well. But what would she be like? We believe that the ideal woman would be beautiful in both body and mind, someone whose beauty represents the values that she actually possesses, like intelligence and confidence, strength and purpose, bravery and benevolence. Someone who might bear more than a passing resemblance to Alece... More...

Cat - Mornin' in N'Orleans

It's impossible to sleep in when you're in Nеw Orlеаns. It's quiet enough, and considering you were probably out late the night before, possibly partying on a balcony or rooftop watching the city shimmer in the late night heat, you'd have every reason to roll over and go back to sleep when the morning sun trickles through your blinds. But you don't. Perhpas it's the heat that has already glued your sheets to your legs, or perhaps it's the neighbourhood cats begging at your back door. But more likely it's your stomach wondering what that local streetside cafe sells for breakfast, or the good natured laughter you hear from the buskers heading for the Frеnch Qυаrtеr to earn a buck. Whatever the reason, you get up quickly, wash your face with haste, and you go outside. It's going to be a hot one, but you don't want to miss a thing. More...

Grown men

Learning how to respond to our sexuality and attraction to the opposite sex takes men years. 3-year old boys love running around without their pants on. Later you might catch your 6 year old playing doctor with the little girl next door. At 12 he falls in puppy love with a girl at school and gets his first kiss. In his teens he has pictures of bikini models on his wall. Oddly, this is where the maturing process stops for most males. Most men never mature beyond the lusting for unattainable female bodies in photos. Yet they all retain the love of nudity, the attraction to real women, and the romantic dreams they developed as children. Most men are stuck in a perpetual adolescence. They have simply not grown up all the way. "Growing up" means learning to take our innate animalistic urges, filtering them through our mind, creating something uniquely human. It means turning our sexual urges not only into beauty and love, but into self-perfection and ultimately romance. By all means admire these nude photos of Klaudia, even put them on your wall. But don't forget there's an even more important grown up response possible to you. More...

Admiring takes character

A local university recently banned women from wearing any body-baring workout clothing in the school's fitness center. The reason? Apparently a feminist group in Sweden published a report that says a majority of people claimed they didn't get a rewarding a workout when some of the women working out wore "sexy clothing". The contadictions in this are almost too many to count. The reaon most people work out is so they look and feel better. So why would it make sense to hide one's success at this? The report doesn't say why a majority of people react to beauty with resentment and self-loathing instead of the desire to attain it for themselves, or why on earth such people would want to work out in the first place. One also has to wonder what reward these people are hoping for if looking and feeling better are repulsive to them. But the most sobering thing about this is that a progressive institution of learning in the modern world would choose to ban beauty, especially when it's more and more clear that such institutionalized hatred of beauty is what causes anorexia and other eating disorders. If we lose our ability to admire a sexy woman, in the gym or on the beach, we need to search our selves for the flaw, not try to prevent admiration. More...

We recently shot a set of photos of Body in Mind models Pеytоn Prіеstly and Rаchеllе Wіldе moving into a new place as room mates. It should come as no surprise to our regular members that these 2 ladies are quite comfortable being totally nude. But what's interesting is how comfortable they are with each other.

We love getting glimpses like this of the world where women's beauty and nudity are a normal and natural part of the day. We only wish men could be as cool around naked women. Women would be far less likely to rush to cover up if men didn't make such a big fuss about it. It re-affirms our belief that the only thing standing between men and happy naked women is the men themselves. So be cool. Act natural. And beauty just might be your reward. More...

Bоm Dіа! Nikkala in Portugal

We hadn't worked with BiM covergirl Nіkkаlа Stоtt in a while so we rang her up to see if she was up for a new photoshoot. She told us she hadn't worked with Page 3 in many months for her own reasons and was thinking of retiring from nude modeling completely. It was wintertime so we offered her a sunny vacation and photo shoot in Portugal. "I'll think it over if I may" was all she said. We were saddened that one of the most beautiful women in the world might actually stop modeling altogether, and depressed that all her beauty might end up going to waste. A couple weeks later came the happy news. "I think I'd like to do the Portugal shoot" Nikkala said quietly. We were thrilled! We were even more pleased when we saw Nikkala was once again the brunette we first fell in love with 10 years ago. It was indeed a good day. Or as they say in Portugal "Bоm Dіа!" More...

Maxim magazine released its picks for the hottest 100 women in the world this week. We're not sure how they choose the women included or the order they put them in, but we are sure they're not using the system that most men use in real life. While the obscure males of our species do love admiring sexy photos of the famous females, there isn't a man among them who would turn down a chance to see the cute girl next door nude over a chance to open a Maxim magazine. That's because proximity is one of the qualities that makes a woman beautiful to a man.

'Pure nudes' are not so pure

The negative stigma that our society puts on porn has caused an interesting and unexpected offshoot. Porn depicts sex without any love, romance, or reason. It is spiritless, and artless. But rather than reject porn for these reasons some men now reject the only value in porn (the sex) and continue to fully embrace the lack of reason and romance in it. They turn to what is now being called 'pure nudes'. Pure nudes are images of fully nude women with no reason given for their nudity and no values included in their depiction such as a setting or story. Pure nudes are based on the belief that a woman's nude body is a value in itself and that any personality in the model or plot in the photo merely detracts from its beauty. Admirers of pure nudes are materialists in the worst way - they see women as nothing but physical objects on purpose. They then attach the word 'pure' to the genre in an attempt to pretend it's moral. Bodyinmind.com invented the mixing of morality and nudity many years ago, but this means including - not removing - as many values as possible. Because of us many producers of nude photos still claim to be moral as a selling point when in reality they are anything but. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: biker chic

In the early fifties when Jаmеs Dеаn and Mаrlоn Brаndо first made biker chic popular, their leather getups made them look like rebels - street toughs that you didn't want near your daughter. Nowadays that look has been copied in every area, from fetishists to little kids' hallowe'en costumes. The biker look is now more kitsch than criminal. But there's still a few leftover whispers of that fringe-of-society feel. Someone like Hayley, decked out in leather and studs, astride a motorbike, giving us attitude, makes us feel - at least a little bit - like this is someone we don't want to mess with. Maybe it's just confidence, or maybe its because she knows how damn good she looks, but Hayley rocks this set in a way that would definitely make Brando proud. More...

Those who pay

We've said it many times: the sheer volume of stolen images on the internet makes it almost impossible to make a living producing tasteful nude images of beautiful women. "File-sharing" as it is called, is really file-stealing, because it steals the profits and livelihoods of many people in this industry, including photographers, webmasters, and most noticeably models. No one knows just how many models have left the industry to make more money doing mundane jobs like secretary or waitress. One top model on Body in Mind is actually in shoe sales in real life. Another is a ticket girl at the airport. Thаnk Gоd we still have Pеtа Tоdd and a host of other models who continue to work with Body in Mind simply because we remain so tasteful and because we protect their income by fighting file-stealing. So we say shame on those who steal our images. And to those who enjoy our models in our members area, we say, feel very very proud that you've paid for it. You are their only true fans. More...

Strippy sets

We do a lot of "strippy" sets - as we call them - on Body in Mind and no one does them better than Laura. But the clothing, setting, and message in a strippy set are even more important than the model. A nude woman looks the same in any age or in any place. Thus, somewhat ironically, clothing is more important than the model because it's what allows the photos to take place at a certain time in history or place in the world. A woman stripping in a men's club does it only for titilation. But stripping in other settings allows a woman's nudity to have other purposes and other meanings beyond just sex. This makes the setting even more important than the clothing. For example a woman stripping in a church or in public or in defiance of tyranny is more interesting than a generic nude woman without time, place, or meaning. A man will eventually tire of even the sexiest nude photo of his favourite model. Yet men need new nude photos to admire all the time. Only clothing, settings and meanings can keep nude photos from all looking the same. It's much more than models that goes into nude photos, and that's why strippy sets fascinate men. More...

She'll talk to you, she'll snuggle with you, she'll make out with you, she'll listen to your work stories and laugh at your jokes. By the end of the 'date', you'll be left with the feeling that you've had the best parts of a relationship without any of the hassles. And without as much money in your wallet as you started out with. The problem with the Gіrlfrіеnd Expеrіеncе is the addition of the word "experience", like it's a theme park ride. What's wrong with "girlfriend" full stop? Why not become the kind of man who can have the real thing - a woman like Hayley, just chillin' with you at home, a woman who's there because you've impressed her enough to make her want to be? Don't settle for an "experience" - aim for the real thing. More...

The beauty of being human

One of the many unique qualities humans possess - as opposed to the other animals we share the planet with - is our ability to appreciate beauty. Some species use colorful feathers or markings to attract a mate, but science has figured out that it is only the color the animal is responding to, not any higher appreciation for beauty. We are the only species that can perceive beauty, and for reasons other than mate selection. Take the little black cat in this gallery of Ashley by Chrіs Rυеggе - he knows there's unusual activity going on with these people in his house, but beyond trying to get himself in the middle of it, he couldn't care less whether Ashley is clothed or naked, beautiful or plain. Animals certainly see us, and our pets even learn to recognize our faces, but they can't be moved by beauty the way we can. So enjoy the fact that you can appreciate the cat's beauty and Ashley's beauty - and enjoy being human. More...

NO REAL FUR

Body in Mind has a NO REAL FUR policy in all of our photos. There are so many superior-looking fake furs out there it just doesn't make any sense to use real fur, for anything. And when you consider how much unnecessary suffering (which is another word for cruelty) the use of real fur causes to beautiful, innocent animals the world over, the use of real fur is downright barbaric. Man has developed so many great technologies, including those that lead to cool motorcycles like the one in this set of Nikkala, it's only reasonable that he would develop faux fur as well, and that it would look every bit as cool. Body in Mind also donates to many anti-fur organizations on a regular basis, such as PETA and IFAW, and we hope you will consider doing the same. More...

Stеfаn Grоsjеаn - one of the good guys

Where do we place nudity on a moral scale, with total depravity at one end and glowing value at the other? It's important because if we define it as immoral then nudes get degraded and only depraved artists will create them, artists who are happy to sell them in the backwaters of porn. On the other hand, if we define nudes as good, then moral artists will create them and will aspire to make the most beautiful images possible. Stеfаn Grоsjеаn is a moral artist whose love of women and of their beauty is crystal clear in every image he creates. Unfortunately, most people in the world see nudes as dirty and bad, and such people are responsible for having Stefan fired from his job as an environmental psychologist in Switzerland because of his nudes. Notice this: these people have not destroyed any porn or pornographers; they have destroyed only the gorgeous nudes that a dedicated artist might now not be able to afford to create. This is why it's so important for beauty lovers to define nudes as good. And why anyone who cares about female beauty should support artists like Stеfаn Grоsjеаn. More...

Clеоpаtrа's Gіft

Legend has it that when Cleopatra wanted a private meeting with Jυlіυs Cаеsаr, she had herself rolled up in a luxurious rug and delivered to his quarters. When he unrolled the gift, out rolled the sensuous young queen who would end up becoming his lover. Science has since dispelled this idea as impossible to pull off, but there's something seductive about the idea anyway. A woman who knows how to luxuriate in a swath of fabric, one who knows the power of her beauty and sensuality, and one clever enough to use it to get what she wants is an archetype that has survived thousands of years and will continue to. The long lines of Alece's sensous legs and taut body are a perfect contrast to the swirls and bunches of fabric that she clutches as she writhes around in delight. Maybe that was Cleopatra's real gift - to womenkind, not to Caesar - the understanding of what pleasure and power your own sensuality can give you. More...

The average woman's view of sex

For 14 years Body in Mind's message has always been that female beauty and sexuality are playful, not depraved. Many people and organizations have a vested reason for wishing the world to think of female beauty and sexuality as depraved, such fundamentalist religions and radical women's groups. But the most surprising group is the beautiful and sexual women themselves. The most virulent and hateful emails and debates we have with our readers always come from women who make their living with their looks and who insist that it is somehow good for people to think of female nudes as "naughty", "smut", "dirt", and "sin". Even more surprising: when you look at the modern world brutally mistreating women sexually on the grounds that sex is bad, you have to wonder why the average woman would happily allow this to continue. Then we figured it out. Women want sex defined as depraved so they can "turn off the tap" anytime they want. It's their way of trying to keep men at bay. Unwanted male advances can be stopped by simply shaking a finger at them and reminding them that sex is depraved. "Nuh uh uh, don't be a bad boy!" We think a much better way for women to gain the degree of sexual control over men that they need is to simply do as we have done for 14 years: preach that female beauty and sexuality are good, and that the men who respect it are also good. Ultimately, it's the only way to keep women in general from suffering the violent fallout that comes from beauty negativity. More...

How much fun do you think nude modeling is? Judging by the dour, come-hither looks on the faces of most nude website models, it's no fun at all. It's either serious business, calculated to appeal to men's baser instincts, or its artificially playful, as though beautiful European teens really do like cavorting around naked in bed with each other, really they do. That's one of the many things that sets us apart as photographers and as a nude site. We strive to make female beauty a part of everyday life, and that includes the lighter side of it. We see no reason not to have fun while we're shooting, and with models like Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn, it's easy to do. This set was shot in the middle of a downpour in September, and yet there she was, gamely frolicking around this little play area and having a blast. No complaints or diva behavior, even when the rain-slicked slide she went down was way more slippery than she thought, and deposited her firmly on her backside in the sopping sand. We had all fun that day, because to Hayley-Marie, modeling is always a playground. Enjoy. More...

Retro is more natural than modern

Science has recently revealed that the birth control pill makes women more attracted to less masculine men. This explains why most modern male actors like Tоm Crυіsе, Brаd Pіtt and Mаtt Dаmоn are shorter and more boyish looking than those of the pre-pill era. And since women naturally want to be shorter and smaller than men, it also explains why small, girlish actresses such as Mіlа Kυnіs and Nаtаlіе Pоrtmаn are more popular than full-bodied actresses these days. The pill explains why women prefer immature feminine qualities in celebrities but it doesn't explain why most men seem to also. At bodyinmind.com we're not like most men. We prefer our women tall, buxom, and curvy. So we thought it would be fun to photograph Cat in a style popular in the 1950s, a time when voluptuous meant more than youth, and sexy meant more than lesbianism. It might not be popular or scientific, but it's certainly more natural. More...

The popular theory of female beauty

The popular modern theory of female beauty tells us that facial symmetry is what makes a woman attractive. That theory however doesn't explain why the most beautiful models and actresses are not actually perfectly symmetrical. This theory also tells us that if you average the features of several faces with each other the resulting face is widely considered to be more beautiful. However, this has been contradicted by the discovery that enlarging a woman's eyes and shrinking her chin was found to make an average face more attractive. But what then allows us to find one such face more attractive than another? Every attempt to define female beauty as strictly mathematical has failed because it is actually personality that makes one woman more attractive than another. Through emotion and attitude we can see a woman's personality in her face, and it's this - more than averaging or re-sizing features - that makes one woman more beautiful to us than another. More...

Where's the beauty

Men are attracted to female beauty. That's goes without saying. However, what do men do with this attraction? That is not so clear. In the west, the majority of men seem to respond to female beauty in a sexual way. This reaction is so pervasive in the U.S. that most Americans don't even know there is a difference between beauty and sex, and their television and movies are are full of proof of this. In Eυrоpе there is at least a tradition of responding to female beauty artistically, and their art galleries are full of proof of this. In the middle and far east, beautiful women are seen as a rare and valuable possession, as something to be owned and kept private. However, none of these reactions is the proper one. Female beauty is meant by nature to inspire men to become the best they can be, to discover their values and to work hard to achieve them. That's why we love this set of Klaudia by Chrіs Rυеggе. It depicts a beautiful women waiting for her man to come home in a real world setting. She is not trapped, she is not an untouchable sculpture, and she is not dressed in sexy lingerie or holding a whip. She is simply a woman in love with her man, a man who has spent his time pursuing a profitable and rewarding career rather than becoming addicted to porn, a man who has been inspired by her to create greatness in himself and a good life for her rather than just worshipping her as a starving artist, and a man who does not see her as his possession but as his wonderful reward and he hers. This is what is truly sexy, inspiring and worth having. If you can't see the beauty of this then you probably have no real female beauty in your life. Start with this photo of Klaudia. She is telling you where the female beauty in life is and how to respond to it, if you want it. More...

Creating or stealing

We've talked a lot lately about the problem of stolen photos on the internet. Somehow the web has given people the idea that every image online is somehow free - in the "public domain" they call it, when nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the exact opposite is true; according to international copyright laws EVERY SINGLE IMAGE IS AUTOMATICALLY COPYRIGHTED AS SOON AS IT IS PUBLISHED ONLINE. Every image is created and owned by someone, in this case, every photo in this set was created and is owned by Jаrоmіr Plеskо and his model Katy, and unless you have permission from them to use these images, as we do, you are breaking the law by downloading them from file-sharing sites or using them in your own webpages. This is the law, and it has not changed just for the internet. Some people think file-sharing helps the little guy against the big guys, or they see all the stolen images on the web and assume it's legal. What they pretend not to see is that the reason we see so many stolen images online is that there are millions of thieves in the world, and that file-sharing really means the huge masses against the little guy who is trying to make a living with his or her work.

Nudity in the movies

We would like to see beautiful nude women in great works of cinema. Yet we often hear beautiful actresses promising to never do nude scenes in movies unless it's necessary for the plot. It's their way of saying they don't want to get naked for some terrible straight to home box office flick on the sex channel. Thus we end up with 2 kinds of ultimately unsatisfying films: the dramatic movie with no real beauty and the nudy flick with no real story. Part of the solution may be for actresses to learn that the plot is not the only necessary element of a dramatic film; there is also the theme, the setting, the creation of characters, and the creation of emotion. What most actresses don't seem to know - but most good directors do - is that movie viewers will instantly like a pretty actress, so if she is playing a likeable character, a pretty actress will work better. Similarly, if a pretty actress is playing a character we're supposed to love, there's no better way to achieve it quickly in a film than for her to go nude. Nudity is bravery and vulnerability at once, and we all feel protective and affectionate towards people who are brave and vulnerable. There is nothing more loveable in a person, or more powerful in a film. More...

Pеtа Tоdd: love yourself

Do you ever wonder why Western society has such problems with nudity? For example we see tons of sex and violence on TV and in movies every day. But we rarely see nudity. One of the main reasons for this is altruism. Altruism tells us that mankind is destructive to itself and dangerous to the planet and that everyone must devote themselves to anything but themselves if we are to survive. It claims to be about love of mankind while insisting that mankind is despicable. Thus we have all learned to distrust ourselves - and our bodies since they are our most fundamental self. But we must never let altruism destroy our love of ourselves and mankind. We can be kind and responsible without ignoring our own needs and desires. This is why nudes are so necessary to mankind. A beautiful woman posing nude implies that she is valuable and that we are worthy of that value. She loves her most fundamental self and tell us quietly and happily "love yourself, because I do."

Let it Snow

If you live in either Nоrth Amеrіcа or Europe, this winter has been a nasty one so far. Snow storms and bone-chilling cold have swept over us, making us all want to go into hibernation and long for the breezy days of summer. But in the midst of all this, we managed to entice Alece to fly up to Canada and shoot with us - in fact, she managed to get out of Nеw Yоrk City in the small window of time when the airports were actually open. With her radiant beauty and sunny personality, she warmed us up but good. We threw on some Elvis, passed around the hot chocolate, and imagined a GAP commercial only minus the clothes. The result? We were quite happy to just let it snow. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: Dirty pictures? Not at all.

At Bоdy in Mind, there is one kind of person we consider the most evil of all: the person who tries to sell others on the idea that female nudity or sexuality is depraved. It isn't. In fact there is nothing more awesome, human, and ultimately attractive that the sight of a beautiful woman. What then does it say about someone who can look upon such a sight then turn around and call it "dirty" or "naughty" or "depraved". What kind of person sees beauty and calls it ugly, enjoys sex then calls it depraved? The same kind that believes every victim of abuse, sexual assault, or execution for adultery somehow deserved it, simply because she was "brazen" enough to be beautiful, "sinful" enough to be sexy, or "depraved" enough to have had sex out of wedlock. In reality, the sinful, depraved, and deadly ones are those who call female nudity and sexuality "dirty". More...

Knіttеd Slееvеs

Women's fashion is a strange thing. Most women go to great lengths to wear clothes that accent their best features or hide their worst ones, and almost all of them make some attempt to show off some cleavage once in a while. Even what they wear under their clothes, unseen by everyone but themselves and the man in their life, are chosen with care to emphasize, enhance, allure. We've always wondered what it would be like if clothes were designed with this in mind, acknowledging that a woman's breasts are often her most beautiful feature. What would it look like if a woman could show off her breasts and yet still be dressed at the same time? The skirt and sleeves of this outfit Hayley modeled for us make it clear that she is indeed dressed and therefore has the kind of barrier between herself and other people that clothing generally provides. Yet she's free to display one of her most gorgeous assets, her magnificent breasts. Maybe the world isn't ready for this kind of sartorial freedom in women, but we're happy to give you a glimpse of what it would look like if it ever is in fashion. More...

Once in a thousand years

We've long admired Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt, both for hiring only the most beautiful models in the world and for aiming to produce the classiest photography around. The many ads that result are more art than commerce. In 1000 years their photography will be among the rare examples remembered from our time. There's a lot of good photography being done right now, but theirs is the epitome of everything else. The only thing missing is some tasteful nudity. Nudity is a huge component of modern photography, and no historical reference could be complete or accurate without it. Our latest shoot with Laura is inspired by this idea. We don't expect to be remembered in 1000 years. But we expect you'll remember these photos for quite some time. :-) More...

When governments cause porn

Pornography and governments have an on-again-off-again relationship. Sometimes the government ignores porn and a decade will pass without any new laws regulating it. Other times governments clamp down on porn and pretty much make it illegal in any form. Right now (in 2011) we are in a period of leniency towards porn, but its time is nearly up. The reason is this: right now governments are failing to defend intellectual property and copyrights. This creates a situation in which there is so much file-sharing going on world-wide that the only way to make a living producing photos is to make porn. Small-time artists who make tasteful nudes cannot sell enough to make up for the huge losses they suffer from file-sharing. By contrast, pornographers motivated solely to make money actually depend on low production values to generate profits. It's when the only nudes around are these sordid, sadistic, and seedy kinds of porn that people start feeling they've had enough and governments start outlawing porn. More...

Stolen goods stores now open

We have an idea for a totally new kind of store where you can actually buy stolen goods or even get them for free and you won't get arrested or thrown in jail. It would be a warehouse or other empty building. The owner would not sell anything himself but would allow other people to sell or give away stolen goods. The owner would make money by charging the public for admission and from advertisers who posted ads on the walls. If these stores were legal they would pop up everywhere. How long do you think they would last? More importantly, how long would the companies producing the things getting stolen last? Not long. Yet this is exactly the way ideas and art are being sold today. Current international copyright laws such as Thе Dіgіtаl Mіllеnіυm Cоpyrіght Act allow the owners of websites to let anybody and everybody sell or post stolen movies, photos, books, video games, music - anything known as intellectual goods. "Sаfе Hаrbоυr" laws protect these website owners - they can't be arrested or sued, and the government will not step in to stop the thieves. Instead it is up to the people who own the ideas to find the hundreds of thousands of anonymous people stealing and selling their stuff and then take each and every one to court. How long do you think the websites selling the stolen ideas will last? More importantly, how long will the artists and companies producing the things getting stolen last? Not long. More...

Do you deserve a supermodel?

Most men would like a supermodel girlfriend. Question is: do they deserve one? Or for that matter: do you? One of the reasons so few of us actually have babes in our beds is simply because so few of us deserve them. To understand why you have to understand what "deserve" really means. Some people think it means if you're a good person then some god or other will reward you with the woman of your dreams. Others think deserve means you have to suffer more than anyone else in order to deserve something better than they have. A few even think all they have to do is be born a male, deluding themselves that all men deserve a supermodel. But "to deserve" in this context means "to cause". So to deserve a supermodel means simply to cause one to fall in love with you. Now, you can pretend to believe that love is mysterious and causeless and sit waiting for beautiful women to knock at your door, or you can start trying to discover what a gorgeous woman loves in a man, and start trying to be that kind of man. That is the way to deserve a supermodel. More...

The right to be beautiful

In the past, many people have imagined a perfect world, and what it might look like. They don't do that anymore. Today the creators of futuristic tales pen dark worlds overlorded by human-hating aliens, or a battle scarred earth too charred for people to find food and water, or else they don't write about things to come at all. We've become a cynical future-fearing species that prefers to stick to futures spun by religious and mystic authors from millenia ago. The problem with fearing the future is that it means you also begin to fear the very next moment, even this one, and by imagining nothing at all you move yourself and mankind one step closer to that dismal future we fear. Someone said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. So stop being afraid and take a moment to today just for yourself and imagine a happy day in the future. We did, and we imagined this set with Ashley B. in a future when women have the right to be as beautiful as they like. In reality, mankind is all we have to fear, and individual rights create a future where we don't have to. More...

Fetishes

We're not big on fetishes at bodyinmind.com. A fetish is a sexual perversion. But before you can understand why fetishes are wrong you have to understand what sex is. Sex is the physical expression of one's spirit with a lover. Copulation is merely physical; sex is mostly spiritual. Fetishes are wrong because the proper way to pursue sexual excitement is to perfect your spirit: to do everything you can to be the best person you can be to attract the best lover. It's when men stop trying to accomplish this that they turn to sexual fetishes, always looking for something kinkier and more depraved to fill the void. But it can never be filled since there is nothing more exciting than great sex with the one you love. Fetishes are not in our nature and can end only in frustration, self-loathing, and hatred of values. The end of civilizations often get blamed on rampant sexual perversions but really it is men's failure to value, achieve, recognize and defend greatness that rots civilizations. Fetishes are simply part of the stink. Maybe that's why we should be concerned that sexual fetishes are becoming a huge part of our culture and art. Instead of trying to find a new way to tie a woman up, find a new way to split the atom. If you do, the sex you'll get will be far more exciting than any stupid fetish. More...

Cаt Imprоmptυ

"Are you sure you said 2 o'clock?" We sat waiting for our model to show up, in our rented studio, with our lights ready and our cameras set. The minutes ticked by. By the time the hands rounded past 3 pm, we knew we had a no-show on our hands. What were we going to do now? We had so much invested in this, what a shame it would be to let it go to waste. "I'll pose for you" said Cat, our dear friend and model who also acts as our assistant from time to time. "My hair is messy and I don't have any nice lingerie, and I'm not really ready for a nude shoot - but what the hell!" What the hell indeed. Cat is so gorgeous, so charming, and such an amazing model that the shots we got that day are some of the funniest we have of her. Her personality and wit shine through, even through her messy hair. As an impromptu model, Cat runs circles around even the most seasoned professional models. We thought you'd enjoy this bonus set of this lovely lady being her lovely self. More...

...and then what?

Kids love to ask ...and then what? Where do babies come from?

It's when we stop asking ...and then what? that we stop learning and growing. For example, most men are happy to look at pictures of beautiful nude women in fields or on the beach. Why is she naked in a field? Well, she likes to feel the sun on her ...and then what? well, then she goes home ...and then what? maybe she listens to some music ...and then what? maybe she goes to school. ...and then what? maybe she meets a man ...and then what? maybe they fall in love ...and then what?

The meaning and purpose of Nеw Yеаr

The end of a year and the start of a new one is often when people ask themselves What is the meaning of life? Who am I supposed to be? Is there a purpose to my existence? But such questions are asked only by those people who have given up thinking for themselves and have abandoned their dreams. What you think is who you are. And your goals are the meaning and purpose in your life. Some people hope there is a purpose and meaning beyond themselves, that there is some plan to the universe and existence that requires only their blind obedience. But the reality such people want to avoid is that if you haven't devised your own philosophy of life, then you doesn't really exist, and if you don't have a dream that colours your every waking minute then your life can never have meaning or purpose.

Sometimes men are smarter than women

Men love women, and often they will go out of their way to make them happy. But sometimes men go too far, and give too much. For example, there is no reason on God's green earth than men should not look at and enjoy beautiful women. Indeed, much of our writing here at Body in Mind is dedicating to explaining exactly why looking at beautiful nude women is actually healthy and good, not only for individual men, but for men as a whole and humankind in general. Nevertheless, many women like to guilt men into hiding these truths. Men, being naturally chivalrous, comply, even accepting women's accusations of brutishness. Men have abandonned the intellect to women, and in so doing have lost the right to enjoy the sight of beautiful women. To get it back fully, all we have to remember is that sometimes men are smarter than women. More...

The romantic male

We see a lot of male stereotypes in our media, culture, and society: the athlete, the artist, the power broker, the bum, the madman, the criminal. But there is one so dark, so threatening, and apparently so evil that we never ever see him at all: the romantic. In reality, all men are romantic - perhaps even more than women, but only women are allowed to be romantic: we see romance novels in every family department store; the fronts of news magazines are consistently plastered with photos and coverage of the latest celebrity romances; daytime TV dramas have revolved around the sex lives of their characters since television was invented. But where are men's values in our ideas of romance? It's clear women's values include lots of sex with a physically perfect mate; and it's clear our society has no problem with that. It's men's unique romantic value it frowns upon: nudity. That's why you never see anything like this set of Alece. It's because it's a man's idea of what's romantically appealing. More...

The beauty challenge

When bodyinmind.com started 13 years ago the only objectively beautiful women in the media were found in porn. We decided that we - and the world - needed a place to enjoy the beauty of women in a way that was not sexual or demeaning. For a while we scoured the world of print and the web to feature what small beauty we could find. But in the end we decided that producing our own tasteful nude images was the only way to find them. Many websites copied us, but without understanding. Today these same websites have all deteriorated to the production of porn. All of them. It makes us wonder: Is bodyinmind.com the only independent commercial producer of tasteful art nudes left in the world - nudes in which beauty - not titillation - is the goal. Surprisingly, the answer is yes. We challenge anyone to show us different. Please. More...

Just for fun

We had a ton of fun shooting with Laura a few weeks ago. We are thrilled with the sets of photos we made with her and are very happy to introduce her to the world. Unfortunately, Laura was such a great model that we took a few too many photos, and editing them down to a reasonable number, say 150, was proving extremely difficult. So this time, just for fun, we decided to include almost all of them and save ourselves a ton of editing. If you view them one at a time they become almost like the frames of a movie, and you can see Laura come to life, which in our opinion, makes her even more beautiful. Go on, try it. Just for fun.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: flash!

"Flash" is a cool word, with many meanings. To expose (we like that), to illuminate briefly, it's even got superhero overtones. We tried to put all that into this set of Nikkala. We like the way she flashes her captivated audience. With deliberate moves she knows just how to expose her gorgeous body, to reveal the full length of herself from the tip of a gracefully pointed toe to the penetrating heat of her striking blue eyes. When that camera flash lights up, it's as though in that frozen instant, all meanings come together and are subdued under her control. We're sure you'll agree that getting Nikkala in front of a camera is always a flash of genius. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: paramedic

The connections between health and female beauty are many: from ancient fertility goddesses to the modern theory of genetic health. If this connection is real, it would follow that any healthy society should revere female beauty. It should also worry us that there are no such societies today. This is one of the reasons we created Body in Mind. We wanted to show what such a society might look like, a sort of blueprint, or inspiration for a healthier tomorrow. We know female beauty can motivate us towards our values, including health. It inspires us, it uplifts our souls, and this positive mental state has been shown to directly influence physical health. A topless paramedic might not be the most practical solution, but it's way more practical than trying to live without positive images of female beauty. Lеt Hаylеy-Marie jump start your heart.

Oo la la!

Mаrіlyn Mоnrое once said that she was able to become 'her' whenever she wanted; "her", was, of course, the gorgeous, sensuous movie star side of her, the often-photographed, imitated and adored goddess of the silver screen. Most of the time, Marilyn was really just Nоrmа Jеаn Baker, a serious girl who wanted to be a serious actress, but when she wanted to become Marilyn, it was like she just flipped a switch. She knew how to smile, how to accentuate her luscious curves ,how to use facial expressions and a casual flip of her hair to become playful and innocent all at once. She knew how the curve of a wrist or a glance from beneath lowered lashes could drive men wild and make them fall in love with her. This art of the feminine seems sadly lost these days, replaced by over-the-top sexuality from models who seem bored or cynical or both. Happily our lovely model Peach knows how to be flirty and sensual, a modern day Marilyn who knows that sometimes less can indeed be more. Oo la la! More...

Hot or not

The concept of female beauty is disappearing from Western civilization. A beautiful woman is no longer called beautiful in mainstream media. Today she is called simply and inelloquently "hot". Mеgаn Fоx is not described as a raven haired sultry vixen: she is not sexy; she is "hot". Sаrаh Pаlіn is not described as a refreshingly young and attractive female politician: she is not beautiful; she is "hot". 20 years ago, Nаоmі Wоlf convinced everyone that beauty was a myth, so that today the word seems obsolete. Nоw Dоvе soap has established that all women are beautiful, rendering the word meaningless. So then if all women are as beautiful as Alece, and any unusually attractive woman is "hot" (meaning sexy), how can we talk about any woman being simply more attractive than others? The english language it seems, no longer has a word for that, and western society doesn't want to talk about it, but female beauty exists. Alece is more attractive than most women. She is hot. And she is beautiful. We may not have a word for it, but we do have her to prove it. More...

Pеtа Tоdd: proper dress

"This is the way all young women should dress for their proms," we thought when we saw Peta wearing this amazing red dress. And when she pulled down the top so we could see her breasts she made us wish all young women would do that too. That's when we realized we were not alone in the park that day. Peta spotted them first. There were 3 or 4 guys hiding in the bushes watching our photoshoot. Peta laughed and continued posing because she's a pro, but we realized why more women don't go topless even when it's perfectly proper - it's because most guys no longer have the class to respond openly and respectfully to nude women. Because of this, we are all missing out on a lot of female nudity, and topless prom gowns will continue to exist only on Body in Mind. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt: ravishing

The word 'ravish' can mean 3 different things, 1) to take a woman by force, 2) to plunder violently, 3) to fill with joy. The last one is closest to our meaning, but there doesn't seem to be any word in English, even though it happens in almost every romance novel ever written. A handsome and heroic man seizes upon and makes passionate love to a woman who is desparately in love with him and who teases and resists him as long as possible. The act is romantic, ecstatic even tantric for both the man and the woman due to the fact that they have waited until waiting becomes unbearable for both. 'Ravish' would be the perfect word for this, and that's how we mean it. For us, 'ravish' only makes perfect sense when all of its meanings are taken in a romantic context meaning 'to make passionate love to'. That's the only meaning that would leave a smile on a woman's face. More...

Nеw Yоrk Fаshіоn Wееk

We followed Alece around during Nеw Yоrk Fashion week recently and discovered she's as beautiful on the inside as the outside. There are a lot of beautiful women in Nеw Yоrk at any time, but during fashion week they come from all over the world. In fact, we were also scheduled to meet with one of the most famous internet models that week, but she didn't like the idea of walking around Nеw Yоrk. We later discovered that she hates nude modeling and is ready to leave the business. Alece on the other hand is brand new to nude modeling and was up for anything we suggested. We learned then that nude models come in two types: hypocrites who think it's immoral but do it anyway, and those like Alece, who think the human body is truly beautiful and good. Nеw Yоrk was full of gorgeous women that week. We think we got to hang out with the most beautiful one of all. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: only your imagination

It's an old fantasy: you take her out to an expensive restaurant and then to a fancy club. Perhaps she's the girl from work, your latest crush, or even your ex. You know she's not going to kiss you that night let alone sleep with you, but you go anyway, perhaps you're that lonely or desperate or you just like her that much. But the real reason you're going is the one you don't realize or will never admit: she's beautiful and you want to be around her, no matter what. You hope somehow, at some point, she will show you something meant only for you. So you act the perfect gentleman even though she's far from the perfect lady, and you wait. You open doors for her, call her a cab, walk her to her door, and as she's stumbling through her apartment door, you realize you will get nothing but the flashes of smiles and leg that everyone else got too. And as you walk home you imagine what she didn't do and you smile at yourself, if only your imagination had a camera. More...

The sixties were an amazing, iconic decade for many reasons - and one of our favorites is the go go dancer. Beautiful women, sleek boots, groovy music, what's not to love? One of the original go-go dancers, Cаrоl Mоdа, danced topless at a bar in Sаn Frаncіscо, starting the long-standing tradition of mixing the feminine art of dancing with the most feminine of displays, bare breasts. Sadly, it wasn't a trend that caught on.

Suzie right at home

"Come on in", said Suzie warmly, throwing her front door open wide and inviting us in. Her adorable little dogs yipped and wagged at our feet, excited to greet the new visitors. It was an ordinary afternoon, in an ordinary suburban home, and it might have been an ordinary social call, if it weren't for the fact that Suzie wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing. She had asked us to come over to her house for a photo shoot, and we had happily obliged - but even we were surprised that she had chosen to greet us wearing nothing but a smile. No matter how often we shoot beautiful nude women, no matter how many real-life situations we intentionally place them in, it's still a bit of a surprise to see a woman completely free and easy with her nude body like Suzie was that day. She gave us the grand tour of her home and as we got set up to start shooting, it occurred to us that there was no reason why she shouldn't greet her guests in the nude - she's beautiful, charming, and a delightful host, nude or not nude.

Female beauty is NOT a figment of your imagination

Very few people understand what female beauty really is (no it's NOT symmetry or averge features). Weekly we endeavor to teach our readers what female beauty really is and why it's so damned important. So we were thrilled to discover a new way to describe it this week, thanks to Dаvіd Rоlаnd at GracefulNudes.com. When we see a beautiful woman we can't help but imagine nice things about her personality, as he puts it. And we agree. But what most men and woman don't know is that this is not only true, it is the entire source of a woman's beauty. It is not her beauty that makes us imagine nice things about her. It is the act of imagining nice character traits in her that creates the perception of her beauty in our minds. We have said repeatedly that female beauty is the representation of character values in a woman. If we look closer we see that something about her allows us to imagine nice things about her (for example, her straight posture might make us think she is confident) and it is these thoughts of ours, along with her physical actions or characteristics that inspire these thoughts, that actually create her beauty. Both she and our thoughts about her are required to create the perception of her beauty, and both are responsible. Perhaps the reason female beauty is so hard to understand is simply because it's so bloody complicated. :-) More...

Jеss Rоbіnsоn: floor routine

The summer Olympics may be a few years away yet, but we can still look forward to our favourite event, women's gymnastics. It's one of the few times in our society that women are encouraged to exhibit the grace and beauty of their bodies, even if it does have to be sanctioned under the guise of an athletic contest. In ancient Greece, Spartan girls who had been raised to be as strong as their brothers, competed in the original Olympics alongside men, and did so naked. It was expected that men would watch them compete, and even select wives from among the competitors. Wouldn't it be wonderful if today's gymnasts could perform their spectacular floor routines in the nude? Jеss Rоbіnsоn gives us a little taste of what that would be like. More...

Thе Wrіght Stuff

To say that Frаnk Llоyd Wright was ahead of his time is an understatement. While his contemporaries were still creating Victorian style homes with gingerbread trim and tiny, boxy rooms, Wright was designing sprawling, open airy buildings that respected and fit in with the nature around them. Visiting one of his masterpiece homes, like we did with our lovely model Cat, is a truly inspiring experience. In one of Wright's homes, you feel as though this is a building you should live up to, that the lives lived beneath the clerestory windows should be full of purpose and dedication to one's highest values. It seemed only proper that we place female beauty in this setting, as a continuation of Wright's vision of man as a being worthy of beauty and elegance in his surroundings. In a perfect bulding, in a perfect setting, perfect beauty just seems...well, Wright. More...

Ashley: the nude Bond girl

Iаn Flеmіng understood it perfectly. While the world will always remember him for his most famous creation, the suave and sophisticated Jаmеs Bоnd, perhaps his more influential achievement was in creating Bоnd Gіrls, the villains and love interests that captivated audiences almost as much as 007 himself did. Why was that? Why were Pυssy Gаlоrе, Tаtіаnа Rоmаnоvа, Solitaire and Vеspеr Lyndе so intoxicating? In looking at what they all have in common, the answer becomes clear. All Bоnd's women, whether friend or foe, are strong, focused, intelligent, talented and objectively beautiful. But their beauty is almost secondary, something they don't do much to enhance (you don't often see a girly-girl Bоnd Gіrl fussing with nail polish or flashy jewelry). Thіnk Ursυlа Andress emerging, Venus-like, out of the surf in Dr. No. As gorgeous as she was, this was not a woman to be messed with. We love that iconic image, of a strong and sensual woman comfortable in her own beauty and pursuing her own goals, and we think the stunning Ashley B. is the perfect choice to pay homage to that often overlooked icon of female beauty. Dare we say it...she leaves us shaken AND stirred. More...

Digging deep down

We all like to think that we are good people. But the way to know if we are really good or not is to observe our behaviour when we are stressed. Take as an example the many nude websites these days that happily declare themselves to be innovators in their tasteful and respectful depictions of women. Yet when squeezed in the vice of the current world-wide economic downturn these same websites have introduced more sexually explicit, more degrading, and more stereotypical porn. Deep down they have always believed that it is the sexual, the degrading, and the trite that has attracted people to nude women. They lied about their love of artful nudes. Bodyinmind.com is different. We deeply believe that it is the new, the interesting, and most of all the beautiful that attracts people to female nudes. It is extremely difficult to create nude photos that are creative, beautiful, and tasteful. But that is why we do it, and why so few others do. More...

Say ahhhhh

It might come as a surprise to some people but a very large number of Body in Mind members are doctors. At least once a week we see one in our sign-up logs. We think this is for two reasons. One, doctors have a unique respect and facination for the human body and two, most doctors are over 40 and prefer the kind of tasteful nudes featured here, as opposed to the barely legal models and poses found elsewhere. So we thought it would be fun to create a photo series just for our doctors, and our top model Nikkala quickly agreed. We think being a doctor is one of the highest callings, and that being a beautiful woman is too. Hopefully this set will help the world to begin to see this as we do. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: take me as I am

Perhaps the hardest thing beauty-loving men have to learn is that beauty is only itself, and nothing else, and more importantly, that it never needs to be anything else. Unfortunately, beauty is not always an indication of a woman's true qualities: a woman merely has to appear to possess desirable qualities for her to appear beautiful to us. Most of us learn in high school that beauty does not always equal real character in a woman. We learn that the most beautiful woman is not necessarily the nicest. But instead of concluding that beauty is a lie, we need to learn that beauty is the result of our perception of character in a woman, and that this beauty is trying to tell us that character in a woman is important to us, even more important than any one woman. Female beauty is a benevolent tour guide through the world of women's souls, meant to inspire us to hold out for a woman who actually does possess the qualities of character we desire most. After all, the most beautiful woman of all is the one who is real. More...

Meet me there

The most difficult thing about outdoor nude photography is not the technical knowledge required, the quirky models, or even the weather. While all of these things can be occasionally formidable problems, more difficult still is finding a location where there are no other human beings around. We've all heard that overpopulation will be the single biggest problem in the coming decades but we rarely notice that we can never quite be alone, even now, no matter how hard we try or how far we go. Try it sometime. Pick a day and go outside. Now try to find a place where there is nobody. Only if you are very very lucky will you find a place like where we shot with Suzie. And if you're even luckier, you might find Suzie there. More...

Beauty for beauty's sake

Many of our readers profess a strong preference for photos of beautiful nude women in natural settings. Maybe it makes their sexual enjoyment seem more natural, less guilty. Many readers also extol virtues in our models we know are simply not there. That way they can lie that they love them for who they are and not just what they look like. BOTH of these readers need to learn to value beauty for beauty's sake, without guilt or excuse. Beauty is primarily a moral accomplishment: it is the representation of objective values; and unless an individual has learned to hold some rational values he will be incapable of percieving beauty at all. For example, confidence is a very valuable quality, but if you don't admire it you won't notice it in a woman so you won't find her attractive. Most people hold a mixture of rational and irrational values and are capable of perceiving only some beauty some of the time. But why not enjoy as much beauty as possible? Don't limit it to only natural settings, since your ability to perceive beauty is not natural anyway, but rather self-made. And don't worry if a model is virtuous or not: valuing beauty for its own sake is the result of thousands of years of cultural, intellectual and aesthetic progress, and only the most advanced, refined, and sophisticated individuals and civilizations are capable of it. Instead of feeling guilty or making excuses for your refinements as if they have robbed the world of natural, real beauty, realize that it is precisely these refinements - not nature - that make beauty possible. Only then will you be able to look at beautiful nude women, anywhere, anytime, and truly enjoy it. More...

The golden hour

"The golden hour" is a term used by glamour photographers to describe the sunlight in the last hour before sunset. Photographers are interested in this light because it is very very special. It makes amazing photos. Even though most people have left the beach by this time, or are heading inside for supper or a drink, photographers and their models stay out just that one hour longer because only then is the sunlight bright enough to light the model but dim enough to light the background too. This light makes photos look special or even magical because it's something few of us except for the most dedicated sunset watchers ever see. And when you have a beautiful woman like Ashley posing in this light, the photos you get are pure gold. More...

Krеаtеr Kооl

Cool is something very hard to define. We know it when we see it don't we? But what is it really? Is it something new? Or something old? Is it something as quick as a wink, or something completely timeless? Maybe it's nothing more than raw sex appeal, or maybe, it's something very very carefully crafted. We think cool is all of these things, and more. Cool is something rare but available to anyone at any time. It is something almost impossible to touch, but it touches us even when we resist it. For example, Nіkkаlа Stоtt is cool. And as classy as they come. Kreater motorcycles are also cool. As precise as watchworks and as beautiful as art, they are also funkier and flashier than anything we've seen. They are sure to be the new IT machine.

We've been fortunate enough to shoot Hayley in a variety of settings - as a naked tourist in Toronto, as a bikini babe and as a fifties drive-in sweater girl, just to name a few. But in our opinion, Hayley has never looked more strikingly, classically beautiful than in this set, swirling around in satin. Maybe it was the feel of the luxurious fabric all around her, or the sheen cast by the satin underneath the lights, but posing for this series brought out the inner bombshell in her.

Pеtа Tоdd's grunge style

Most of the email we receive at Body in Mind is from our members who tell us how much they like one or more of our models. They are always telling us how beautiful this models is, or that one, how happy she looks, or how sexy she must be in real life, etc. But the real truth is that as human beings we always see exactly what we want to see, and we ignore the rest. Yes, most of our models - the ones we know well - are amazing women in their own ways, but seldom in the ways that their fans think. The truth is that most of what you see in nude photos - on any nude site - is the result of the photographer's tastes, skills, and temperament, not the model's. This set is the exception. It is entirely Pеtа Tоdd's idea and style: in her own clothes and posing where and as she pleases. This is as close to the real Pеtа Tоdd as you will get. Her beauty is all her own. More...

She loves it here, in this quiet enclave. She runs along the beach, letting her green silk scarf dance in the wind as she leaps and frolics with childlike abandon. The sun kisses her skin as she stands naked on the rocks, letting the sea air catch her wrap and billow it out behind her like a sail.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt - the grace period

Women age. We're sorry to have to tell you that but it's true. After they reach their physical peak at 18 their hair slowly begins to lose its shine and their breasts begin to sag. Some get fat and some get skinny, but all grow less physically beautiful. But something else happens that changes everything. Slowly over time women mature as human beings. Their wit gets quicker and their gracefulness grows. They get fit and stylish. They learn to hold their posture and your gaze. At this point, somewhere approximately halfway between losing their youthful looks and gaining wisdom a woman is at her most beautiful. We call this the grace period. It's during this time that most women find the love that lasts, because it's during this time that they are as beautiful as they will ever be, and that kind of beauty never needs to die. More...

Fun with selfishness

One of the tragedies of cultures like ours that force altruism on us is that we learn not to ask ourselves what we need to make ourselves happy. We are taught that the happpiness of others is always more important - always. But can you imagine having to live without ever being happy yourself? And then being constantly tortured by the sight of everyone being happy except you? Altruism says this torture should be enjoyable. [!] Fun is the cure for the dementia of altruism. Fun hurts no one and benefits no one but ourselves. It is pure selfishness. In the battle for your soul that is always being fought between altrusim versus selfishness, let selfishness win sometimes.

The nude audition

We meet a lot of nude models at Body in Mind. Most of them are quite comfortable with their bodies. Somehow - it seems miraculous these days - they have grown up without feeling ashamed of their bodies, and they are happy to pose completely naked. Still, many see nudity as a sexual thing, and we have to work with them to teach them that nudity doesn't have to be something they do to turn men on, that it can be a spiritual and artistic thing they do for themselves, for fun and freedom. But a very special few show up to their first audition with exactly the right attitude from the start. Cat was one of them and we wanted you to see what we saw in her the very first time we worked with her. Since then we have worked with her countless times, and instead of teaching her, she teaches us. More...

The 1970s are often referred to today, somewhat mockingly, as the 'selfish seventies'. Today the achievement of personal values - the pursuit of happiness - is not in fashion. Even having children or drinking a bottle of water is now considered an imposition on society or on the planet. Yet the realization of one's hopes and dreams remains as possible today as it was in the 70s. Back then, Glаmоυr Rоck was an exuberent expression of this. Making music hurt no one and dressing extravagently made sure everyone noticed how much fun - and how harmless - personal success can be. "Razzle dazzle" means blowing people away with the force of one's personal expression. It's sad that we don't hear about it much anymore. Hopefully this retro set of Ashley will help correct this.

Lеt Pаgе 3 stand!

Anyone skilled at reading the political writing on the wall knows that Page 3 is under seige right now. In spite of a war to fight the military found time to attack and ban Page 3. Recent politicians running for Prіmе Mіnіstеr made it a promise to get rid of Page 3 if elected. Page 3 has become public enemy number one. And unless it is defended vociferously by its fans, it won't be around much longer. The same thing happened to the Page 3 girl in Canada. Page 3's attackers claim that it is an outdated vestige of sexism that degrades and hurts women. Yеt Brіtіsh women have more rights and freedoms than women just about anywhere else in the world. Semi-nude bodies might annoy curmudgeons, but their attacks on Page 3 only serve to prove how certainly freedom of speech exists. Only totalitarism dictatorships stifle dissent. Can there ever be a reason to move backwards towards that? The outdated vestige of sexism from the past that degrades and hurts women is the desire to control what women say and do. Page 3 is a modern victory over those ancient forces that want to keep women down. It features healthy, virtuous young women freely expressing their beauty without a trace of shame or sadness. It is an inspirational daily monument to women's power, beauty, and freedom to use it, and we say, "Lеt Pаgе 3 stand!"

Hatred of beauty is hatred of women

Today we're used to hearing women bemoan the "unattainability" of beauty, but we cut these women slack because we know it's really just jealousy they are feeling. But what about the men who moan about it? Such men are basically saying: "I want a beautiful woman, but I have no intention whatsoever to make the slightest effort to deserve one, and since I can't have one without making an effort, I hate them." In fact, thanks to the internet, such men can have almost unlimited female beauty absolutely free, which means it's not beauty they hate at all. What they hate, but never admit, is the beautiful women who choose to reject him. It's women with minds of their own who judge for themselves that these men resent. No matter how it's sliced, hated of beauty is just plain old mysogeny. More...

Jеss Rоbіnsоn: Va-va-voom!

Silk stockings, garter belts with trailing satin ties, frilly undies...what is it about the art of the slow striptease and these elaborate underthings that we find so alluring? Surely a beautiful nude woman needs no adornment. Maybe we like the idea of elaborate unmentionables and silky stockings because it calls slow and deliberate attention to the curves of a woman's body, to what makes her uniquely feminine, without being overtly sexual. Maybe it's evocative of a time when female beauty was respected as a legitimate art form, fully deserving of delightfully deliberate attention. All we can say is, we're glad it's making a comeback, allowing us to enjoy Jess's gorgeous body and infectious smile and say "va-va-voom!" More...

A little personality

Guys don't like to hear that a woman's beauty has anything to do with her personality because all too often it means she's ugly and that her personality is the only thing left. But we learned many years ago looking at a photo of a beautiful nude woman in a Mexican bar that if a woman really is beautiful, even to the pickiest guys, it's her personality that makes her so. Really. Here's how it works: if you look at photos of hundreds of nude women (such as we saw in that bar), you'll soon see it's the ones who have some kind of happy enthusiasm that stand out and get noticed. Even if they don't, men will fantasize that they do, men will actually supply the personality for a beautiful woman themselves. That's how important a role personality plays in making a woman beautiful to a man. She has to have it or they can't find her beautiful. It's totally true. Okay, you can unvcover your ears now.

She's a real "haughtie"

We love happy women. There's nothing like a happy, beautiful woman to warm your heart and make your life a little nicer. But sometimes, the sight of a strong confident woman with an attitude to match can be even more inspiring. A woman who knows her value, who knows she's beautiful and isn't afraid to be proud of it. It isn't quite arrogance, and it isn't really conceit, it's simply the self-confidence that those who possess talents or skills are rightfully entitled to display. We like Hannah's haughty attitude in this set, it serves to make her even more beautiful. She's a real "haughtie". More...

The most important thing in your life

Every 4 years the world gathers for the Wоrld Cυp in order to discover which country has the best soccer team. This matters to us at Body in Mind only because as a result, every 4 years we discover that team sports on a global scale are more important to most men than beautiful women. It seems impossible but it's true. The only time our sales go down noticeably is during the Wоrld Cυp. Not even the Olympics do that. The explanation? Political correctness has made it impossible for anyone to even suggest one person might be superior to someone else, in anything, at any time. Thе Wоrld Cup gives men the one chance to declare, without guilt, "we're number one!" More significantly, men attach themselves to the success of their team without ever contributing a single thing. They watch, they cheer, and they take credit. We're number one! They do so because altruism has made attaining values for oneself the only thing more reviled in the world than political incorrectness. Sports team competitions like the Wоrld Cυp are the only guiltless moral victory possible to men these days. We hope Hayley's beauty will remind the more courageous men out there that personal values are villified only by people who want to keep you down at the level of observer. They never want you to learn that the reward for superiority is not some stupid cup, but is the love of a beautiful woman. Enjoy the games, but never let them become the most important thing in your life. More...

Klaudia's first nude shoot with us

The first time we laid eyes on Klaudia we had the same reaction that most men have: WOW! We knew right then and there she was perhaps the most beautiful woman we'd ever seen and we knew we had to have her on Body in Mind. But it was not easy. Klaudia (not her real name) was VERY hard to find even though she is quite famous in her native Hungary. When we did find her she'd actually given up nude modeling completely. Needless to say we were quite disappointed. So how did we get these amazing photos of Klaudia nude? Well, maybe it was our classy site or Chris's delightful personality, but after she saw our work and talked with Chrіs Rυеggе, Klaudia did as all women are allowed to do: she changed her mind. This set was the first Chris and Klaudia did together. We weren't going to release it since it was only a lighting test, but as far as lighting tests go: WOW! More...

In the dark

We all have sexual fantasies that we keep hidden from others. Maybe they are too personal, or too unlikely, or maybe we don't even admit we have them; but something about keeping them secret allows our imaginations to run wild. Sometimes in life - rarely - we get the chance to live one out. Unfortunately it never really works. Something unpleasant always gets into the mix. Try it sometime and you'll see what we mean. This is because fantasies were never meant to be part of real life in the first place. They are flowers that blossom only in the dark; and wither at the first touch of daylight. Fantasies are meant to help us isolate the values in life that are most important to us by wrapping them up in a neat little story for our own personal amusement. So enjoy the story. Go to the movies in your head as often as you like. You will learn something about yourself, because character is what you are in the dark. More...

A day in the life : Jenni

The sun shines differently in California. This morning, a pure, golden light filters into Jenni's bedroom and teases her awake. Pulled from her dreams she rises, stretches and yawns. The sun warms her bronzed skin. She slips out of the little teddy she sleeps in and pauses to gaze out the window. Her body is long and lean, and she feels so comfortable in her skin that she steps outside onto the balcony without caring who might see. The day is glorious - maybe she'll go down to the beach. Later. For now she wraps herself in a cozy robe and playfully throws herself on the bed. Life doesn't get much better than this, she thinks, feeling the cool sheets against her skin. The day stretches before her with such promise - what to do first? A shower, perhaps? Stay tuned... More...

And thanks to the grace and beauty of both Nikkala and Peta we now have lots of great new content we're sure their fans will love. We especially got a kick out of some of the candids, so we put together this small gallery for you all to enjoy. And as for you fans out there, a very special thank you goes to you, because without those who pay for memberships to bodyinmind.com, none of this would be possible. You have every right to enjoy the many galleries to come with the same pride that we do. Together, we have created something fun and good: beauty. Well done everyone! More...

A tie game

"Do you have to go to work today?" she asks, smiling coyly. The tie she bought for you for Vаlеntіnе's Dаy is hanging innocently over the chair. It matches her little pink bra and panties, and she waits for you to notice. She toys with the tie, putting it on over her head and pretending to straighten it. She never takes her eyes off yours. Her smile is radiant, and the fringe of ginger hair that grazes the tips of her eyelashes as she pouts at you makes her even more adorable. She knows what it will take to make you stay home today and lies completely nude on the floor waiting patiently for you to figure it out too. You wonder why anyone would ever need Viagra. You've always thought that's what beautiful women are for. And ties too. More...

Beauty on a pedestal

Some say we shouldn't put beautiful women on a pedestal. Beauty is a myth, they say, or it's an airbrushed concoction of the fashion industry. And even when they run out of put-downs and dismissive comments, they still seethe with resentment and declare that 'everyone' is beautiful, and holding up any one woman as beautiful is merely a subjective and unfair thing to do. We couldn't disagree more. Looking at a naturally beautiful woman like Jacqueline, we can think of no better place for her than on a pedestal - held up as an icon of values and admired as a shining example of objective beauty. Why shouldn't we celebrate someone so beautiful, so perfectly formed, and appreciate her for sharing her beauty with us? The only people who don't want to look up at those on pedestals are those who know too well how far down everyone else has to look to see them. More...

Good jeans

Do you ever notice how often people respond to the image of a beautiful woman by saying "she's lucky, she's got good genes."? They say it to emphasize that the woman is just lucky, that fate has gifted her with the 'good genes' for bone structure, body weight, eye color, and a host of other attributes that make her beautiful. Yet they never say that about a concert pianist or a nuclear physicist. When's the last time someone said Einstein was lucky, that he had good genes? Genes may be responsible for some of the purely physical characteristics that define beauty, but only to a point. Just like someone with raw musical talent (or any other talent for that matter), what you do with it is up to you. So when you see a beautiful woman, don't let anyone dismiss her as a genetic lottery winner - and in the meantime, enjoy Marsha and her good jeans. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: a delightful dichotomy

Hаylеy Mаrіе Coppin is a delightful dichotomy. She is a thoroughly modern woman who runs her own site and steers her own career through today's proverbially treacherous waters. Yet she also possesses the charming beauty and joyful sensuality of a 1960's pin up girl. Her sumptuous curves, her full breasts, her easy smile and her joie de vivre are a virtual throwback to the happier days of innocence and delight. And she can fill out a bikini like nobody's business. Looking at Hayley makes us long for simpler times, when women were happy to be pretty and it was a thrill just to get a glimpse of beautiful breasts or a coquettish peek at a perfectly shaped derriere. How wonderful it is that those days are not gone for good, that their memory lives on in the charm of Hayley-Marie. More...

Glamour nudes

We men love to see women completely naked. It's how we connect with our natural side, our sexual side, and our feminine side. Nude women make us want to be naked with them. They arouse us certainly, but they also make us want to take care of them. But there is more to we humans than what mother nature gave us. We also have volition, which means, we can choose to use our brains if we want to. We can discover patterns in the way the universe works, we can shape our surroundings and ourselves to make us - and it - better. We can even use it to improve images of nude women. If we can get the model to smile, or be happy, or to pose as we'd like, or if we throw in an outfit, a prop, or a certain setting then we have improved it. Making women more beautiful by making them more appealing to our minds is called glamour. Not only is there a place for glamour in nude photos, it's impossible to make one beautiful without it.

It's spring

It's spring! And everywhere you look nature is trying to get your attention. Colourful tree blossoms, bright blue skies, sudden rainfalls, blooming flowers, singing birds, and of course beautiful women. Something is in the air. A sense of expectation, of good things to come, of new and real possibilities. Nature does a lot of what it does in spring in order to ensure her creatures reproduce. But do flowers really need to be so colourful? No. Science tells us it's the scent that attracts bees. Do birds have to sing? No, with them it's colour that attracts. And do women really have to show so much skin? No. But it sure is nice. Nature is a benevolent goddess. She really seems to celebrate life through the beauty she creates just for us. A beautiful nude woman is not just sexual, she is beautiful. Let's celebrate that. Nature does. More...

No reason needed for nudity

You're sitting around a with a small group of friends after a good meal enjoying some silly conversation and admiring the girl sitting in the orange couch in the corner. She's a friend of a friend but you've never met. She was happy and talkative during dinner and those around her were happy to look and listen. And so were you. She told an outrageous story about a porn site she'd stumbled upon by accident - as we all have - but told it in graphic detail and without a trace of embarassment. She smiled easily and often. And at one point, almost unbelievably she unbuttoned her sweater to be more comfortable. Conversation continued, but you didn't hear a word of it after that. Here's to the women like Vanessa who are so perfectly beautiful that no justification for nudity is asked for or needed. More...

Hеаvеn's Dооr

Bоb Dylаn recorded a song about it. Islamic terrorists believe there are 72 virgins waiting for them behind it. Catholics think they will find St. Peter standing in front of it when they die. Heaven's door: most cultures and religions talk about it, but where is it exactly? And perhaps more importantly but still just as unclear: what's behind it? Besides the vague idyllic landscapes bathed in the rays of a golden perpetual sunset, the angels, and the big guy himself, the thinkers at Body in Mind couldn't find a single thing. Not to be outdone by any mere religion or tradition, we assert that heaven is right here on earth, and heaven's door is any door Klaudia stands in front of or behind. Klaudia is all the angel we need, and if we're lucky enough to be invited in, we are as close to being a god as we care to get. We can't imagine anything any better; and neither has anyone else.

Hannah looks remarkably like the actress Jеnnіfеr Gаrnеr, and so casting her as our own secret agent was an obvious choice. For many years, Garner made the world of espionage and state secrets a sexy, smart, sophisticated escape for millions of tv viewers, and it wasn't just because of her toned body and frank good looks. Sіdnеy Brіstоw, Garner's character, represented the ideal woman in many ways - as smart as she was beautiful, as cunning as she was cute, a physical powerhouse, a mind like a steel trap, brave and unstoppable, yet tender and sensitive with those she loved.

Innovate, originate, and beautify

There's a lot of nude photos on the internet these days, and there's more and more every day. Men, it seems, have an inexhaustable appetite for the sight of beautiful, naked women. But instead of the variety and creativity of these nude photos increasing as you might expect, the photos we are seeing are looking more and more similar - the same poses, the same locations, the same models. The producers of nude photos have learned that very young models smiling wildly with their legs wide open sell better than anything else, so this is what we see. Repetition, similarity, and porn have become the rule. Bυt Bоdy in Mind is different. Our goal is to innovate, originate, and beautify. This set of our new model Jacqueline is our latest installment.

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn: don't steal me

Body in Mind is very diligent in fighting content theft - today called "file sharing" - because we work very hard to create our photo sets and videos and we need to make money to continue. The government is supposed to defend artists and creators like us from copyright infringement but sadly they do not. In fact, most laws passed in the last 10 years - such as Dіgіtаl Mіllеnіυm Cоpyrіght Act - only make illegal file-sharing easier for the criminals and harder for the creators. Worse still, many legislators are now talking about dropping copyright laws completely, and replacing them with a system in which creators will have to beg the most prolific content sharers for a small piece of these thieves profits. Seems impossible but it's a fact. Even more shocking: big entertainment giants seem to like this idea. They'll get the biggest cut. But where does this leave small individual artists and creators? How can we possibly 'out beg' huge corporations? What if we don't want to participate in any system that punishes creators and rewards thieves? The simple solution: the government needs to enforce existing copyright laws. When internet publishers are held responsible for what they publish, the way newspapers are, illegal file sharing will just stop. More...

Be good with Nіkkаlа Stоtt

We men try to teach our boys to have a healthy respect for women, to admire female beauty certainly, but to gentlemanly about it, and to be kind to the homelier girls too. We protect our sons from seeing depraved types of pornography, and we try to teach the qualities of character that keep them from becoming depraved themselves. Today we'd like to suggest that men be the kind of men they want their sons to become. Maybe today - and every day - instead of thinking sex has to be depraved and anonymously trolling the internet for porn, try to be good: ask a woman out, make love to your lady passionately but respectfully, or find a photo of a beautiful girl to admire and pin up. (We know you'll find at least one such photo in this set of Nіkkаlа Stоtt.) So when it comes to your sexual urges, be good. You wouldn't want your son to be anything else.

Jеss Rоbіnsоn - the happiest of all Easters

The great thing about spring is that beautiful women all over the free world can't wait to take their clothes off. No, they don't tend to go nude, which of course is too bad, but they do tend to put on the skimpiest clothes they dare even in the coldest spring weather. Most have already done their shopping for spring clothes months ago and have waited as patiently as they could to try them out. So as soon as there's a sunny day above 15 degrees (60 for you Fahrenheit people) we start seeing beautifully long bare legs, taught tummies, and wind-blown wisps of shiny hair. It's our favourite thing about spring, and if the weather is nice for Easter, it will be a happy one indeed. More...

Marsha pink

Sometimes words get corrupted into meaning something other than what they originally did. In the world of nude photography, "pink" is one of those words. Just type it into any search engine and see what you find. At Bоdyіnmіnd, we've made a conscious decision not to go the 'pink' route, preferring instead to focus on the whole woman as a beautiful, potent representation of values. But it doesn't mean we don't appreciate the concept of 'pretty in pink', or the delightful, coquettish, quality that the color pink can bestow. We love pretty girls being girlishly pretty, we love how innocent and fun a splash of pink can make even the most stunning of models. Enjоy Mаrshа, in the pink. More...

As the story goes, when photographer Brυcе McBroom set out to photograph Fаrrаh Fаwcеtt that day in 1976, the series of bikinis she came out of her house in weren't right. Finally she came out in a red one-piece, McBroom threw an old indian blanket over the back of his truck, and one of the most iconic images of a beautiful woman ever produced was born. That simple photo of a smiling, blonde Farrah, with her head titled back and her face aglow with delight, was the product of happy co-incidence (her swimsuit, his truck blanket) and five minutes of shooting. Sometimes the simplest settings, a mixture of the right colors and patterns, and a girl with a pretty smile all come together to make magic. More...

A world without nudes?

When you allow yourself or anyone else to call artful nudes immoral you doom nice nudes to oblivion, and yourself to a world full of nothing but porn. Today there is a powerful attack on intellectual property rights that is only possible because so many people believe nudes are immoral. For example the people who download nude photos illegally from file-sharing sites feel justified because they believe they are only hurting the "immoral" people who make them. Courts who are supposed to defend intellectual property know the creators of tasteful nudes are suffering from so much theft but they do nothing because they also think nudes are immoral and are glad to see fewer and fewer of them. Today the creators of tasteful nudes are attacked by everyone, and defended by no one but us.

It was the end of our shooting day, that day in mid May. Milena had been a joy to work with, as usual, but the sun was beginning to set and a chill was slowly creeping over the fields.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt - the lost photo set

We've been shooting Nіkkаlа Stоtt for bodyinmind.com for almost 5 years, we have over 5,000 photos of her, and over 50 sets, with many more on the way. And videos too.

But we're happy to announce that we've finally found and posted the 'lost' set of Nіkkаlа Stоtt. Keep in mind that it's an older set so the resolution is not as high as today's, and the photos were taken before today's ultra light-sensitive digital cameras, so there's more grain.

Stealing beauty

Many people who illegally share our content defend themselves by saying they are Rоbіn Hооd: stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. The fact is, they do not bother to discover if the ones they steal from are rich or not, or if the ones they give to are poor. When photo sets and videos from pay sites are shared illegally on forums and torrents the pay sites lose profits and have less money to hire models and photographers. Some pay sites survive, but most of the artists do not. Artists have always been the poorest producers in society, and the models on pay sites are usually young women who just need money for school. Meanwhile the forums and torrent sites get rich either by displaying advertising to people who download the shared files (Blogspot.com, owned by Google) or by charging a fee to downloaders (Rapidshare.com). File-sharing, in many cases, is stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. There's a name for that, but it's not Rоbіn Hооd. More...

How long can creators like Jаrоmіr Plеskо continue to make lovely photos like these of Edita while attacks steadily increase from every corner? Defend them or lose them. It's your only choice. Do it now. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn - lots and lots of nudes

There is no porn on Body in Mind. Never has been; never will. Just nudes, lots and lots of nudes. The difference is that porn is primarily sexual, while beauty - the goal of our nudes - is primarily about values. Depraved people don't care about values so they don't care about beauty. Such people see only the shortest path to sexual gratification - and they see values as an obstacle to it. But to those who care about values - about purpose in life, about doing the right thing, about being a good person - beauty is more important than sex because beauty can inspire us to achieve those values. For good people, it is the attainment of values that leads to the love of another, and the love of another that is the surest way to sexual gratification. Porn leads to desolate joyless sex; beauty - be it inside or out - leads to romance, great sex, and love. More...

The softer side of Nіkkаlа Stоtt

Nіkkаlа Stоtt is a world famous model, a glamourous, gorgeous woman who has graced the covers of magazines and brightened up the daily papers with her beauty. Often she's show at her glamourous best, in fancy clothes and heavy makeup, her hair blowing wildly and her skin glowing under the hot lights. She's right at home as a glamour model, of course, and has the kind of mesmerizing beauty a girl needs to have in order to be one. But sometimes it's refreshing to see a softer side of Nikkala, a moment of rest and relaxation, when the gentlest breeze ruffles her hair and tickles her face and makes her smile. We love Nikkala anyway we can get her, but particularly so in these quiet moments, when her hectic world slows down and she has a moment to herself. A moment she thankfully shares with us. More...

Marsha - fluff

Some people claim that female beauty is mere fluff. That it is inconsequential, trivial, something we amuse ourselves with but ultimately means nothing. We know differently. We know that something can be beautiful and meaningful, pretty and profound. We know that you don't have to separate your desire from your morality when looking at a beautiful woman, you don't have to dismiss her appeal as nothing more than a piece of fluff dancing on the the wind or your character as something trivial. And we also know that if the critics really did think female beauty was as unimportant as fluff, there wouldn't be so much discussion about it, so much debate. Marsha shows her sweet, adorable, dare we say - fluffy? - side in her cute little teddy, but never lets us forget that underneath it she's a powerful representation of our values: sweet, sexy, and strong.

Dance of the 7 veils

Belly dance has always had a sensual allure, and never more so than when accompanied by the sweep of beautiful scarves and veils, swirling airily around a woman's swollen breasts and wildly gyrating hips. In biblical legend, Salome danced her "dance of the seven veils" to tempt Herod, an idea which was based on old Babylonian tales of fertility goddesses dropping their robes and appearing naked before the underworld gods. With a human goddess like Vanessa, with her sensual moves and lithe figure, her own dance of the veils is as provocative and beautiful as any legendary temptress' moves. Perhaps more. More...

Two female Olympians defend their bodies

The original Olympіc Gаmеs celebrated the strength and spirit of the human body, and to that end the participants were always naked. In this age of hysteria over the naked human form, it's a pleasure to hear that two female Olympians, who while not completely naked have posed for SI's swimsuit issue and are unapologetic about it.

According to snowboarder Hаnnаh Tеtеr "I was really amped up to do that because I don't believe in the ciminalization of bodies and women having to be ashamed of their bodies. That's just so wrong"

US skiier Lіndsеy Vоnn also has the right attitude towards the body. "I'm ok with nudity. I'm ok with people bein naked. There shouldn't be a huge deal made about it. People in tribal nations walk around naked and they don't have bad thigs goin on sexually because it's ok. It's not suppressed. People don't freak out like they do in the US."

Way to go ladies!

Bе My Valentine

We all know that Vаlеntіnе's Dаy means hearts, flowers, candy, marriage proposals. But the actual day is named after various saints Valentine, from the earliest days of Christianity, and why it ever became associated with romantic love is unclear. Some believe that Gеоffrеy Chаυcеr first equated Vаlеntіnе's Dаy with romance in a poem he wrote mentioning 'birds finding their mates', but others have claimed he wasn't referring to Feb 14. Whatever the history, our newest model Ange aptly shows us how sweet it can be to give into love and romance, to swoon over beauty and express your undying love. Indulge in little romance with Ange, we know you'd love to be her Valentine. More...

Nude in Nashville

While in Nashville recently, we couldn't resist doing a set featuring a singer and her guitar. Her beauty was obvious - long ginger hair, willowy body, not to mention those velvet brown eyes. But it was when she took to the mic that she really shone. It was like she had been born to the stage, and it made us long for a world in which beautiful female singers really could perform topless - the way many male rockers do - or even nude if they chose. Imagine if the free-spirited folk singers of their day had been truly free - if they could sing their souls and show off their beauty at the same time. We got a little glimpse of it through the talents of gorgeous Hannah - this is one show you won't want to miss. More...

Is this image too sexual?

Apparently, this image is too sexual.

Nevermind that the skiier, Lіndsаy Vоnn, is touted as "Amеrіcа's Bеst Wоmаn Skііеr Ever". Nevermind that she's shown in a typical tuck position, on a ski hill, decked out in ski gear. Nevermind that there isn't anything remotely sexual about this photo or the woman in it. Because she happens to also be very attractive, feminist claws have come out.

A woman named Nіcоl Lа Voi writes on her blog that this cover is too sexualized, that Spоrts Illυstrаtеd rarely features women on their cover and that when they do, it's only to objectify them. "When females are featured on the cover of SI, they are more likely than not to be in sexualized poses and not in action - and the most recent Vonn cover is no exception" she writes.

If this isnt a blatant case of beauty bashing, we don't know what it. LaVoi even admits that Vonn "represents the norm of feminine attractiveness", while only passingly mention her athletic prowess. The result? She's beautiful, so we don't care how good she as at what she does, we don't want to see her held up as any kind of role model.

But what's even more absurd - on LaVoi's blog Wоmеn Tаlk Sports where the original story was posted, the top channel ad running down the side shows a beautiful woman blowing a kiss over the caption "Date hot women", and further down below, another ad shows a young girl dressed like a cheerleader under the heading "Playing with the Boys".

Now who's sexualizing women?

Mіrаndа Kеrr defends banker for looking at her bikini photos

February 6, 2010 - An Aυstrаlіаn banker became famous recently for an on-air gaffe in which a colleauge behind him was seen looking at bikini photos of model Mіrаndа Kеrr. The video went viral, of course, and stories abounded about how Macquarie, his employer, would likely fire him for his 'inappropriate actions'.

But now it seems, Dаvіd Kіеly will keep his job. Spurred on by Mіrаndа Kеrr herself, who said she was happy to support him, a Facebook group called "Dоn't Fіrе Dаvіd Kіеly" grew to over 1300 members and Macquarie responded by saying Kiely would not be fired.

What's amazing is that this is perhaps the first time a beautiful woman has defended someone for enjoying her beauty. In doing so, she's defended herself. And beauty, too, for that matter.

Krusin'

You pull up to a run-down garage in a sleepy town off the main highway. The sun is high in the sky, the heat is dry and unforgiving and your old jalopy is overheating, again. From the look of the old heaps littered around the yard, you doubt you'll find any help here. And then she comes out. A gorgeous blonde, taking a break from the heat with a bottle of soda, lounging against an old roadster in nothing but a bikini and pigtails. She smiles at you, without surprise or shame, and takes a sip from her soda. "Is there a mechanic around?", you ask, almost hoping she'll say no. "You're looking at her", she replies with a wink. Yes, this a pure fantasy. But then, so is Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn. More...

Whatever they're selling, the images are compelling, with tantalizing glimpses of skin and the promise of beauty just barely hidden from view. But what if these ads showed what they only hinted at?

The return of the pin up

Pіn Up art is making a comeback. Once throwaway sketches of 1940's women, drawn to evoke charm and cheeky sensuality for the benefit of homesick soliders, pin up style images are once again dominating artist's imaginations. Pіn Up girls always possessed an innocent sort of sexuality, and were often depicted doing the most mudnane things while unaware of their state of undress, or showing amazement at their own nakedness. Their facial expresssions were exaggerated, as were the poses they stretched their bodies into, but instead of the pictures looking seedy or exploitative, they were almost always charming and fun, as though the model were in on the joke. Perhaps the best known Pіn Up girl of all time was Bеttіе Pаgе, a dear favourite of ours who personified free-spirited sexuality and an innocent sense of life, which is why we asked Mіlеnа Mаy to channel Bettie for us in this latest series.

Black heart

Black hearted woman. She's cold and calculating, she takes your love and plays with your soul, never once risking her own heart. Thе Allmаn Brothers even named an album after her, so pervasive is the image of a woman viciously adept at toying with men. But what makes a woman earn that title? Is it the sly smile, the unamused tilt of her eyebrow, the callous way she regards her admirers? More likely, a black hearted woman is one who simply isn't affected by the admiration of every man who wants her. She is more selective, more secure in her beauty, more determined to give her love to only the most deserving. She knows her value and knows that only the best of men deserve her genuine affection. Maybe it's the sore loser, the scorned lover, the man who didn't quite measure up, who really has the black heart? More...

Take 5

It takes a lot of work to make a great photo. Aside from the technical aspects like lighting and a certain skill behind the lens, there's undeniable work to be done by both photographer and model to get just the right shot. It can be exhausting. When you have a great model like Cat, the shoot is much easier but it's still a lot of work. On this day, we took a break in shooting and told Cat to take five, expecting her to flop onto the couch and whip out her cell phone or ipod. But like the great model she is, Cat started hamming it up for the camera and we couldn't resist. With her wry smile, her cheeky expressions, her flirtatious poses and of course her killer body, we happily spent the next hour shooting her 'break' rather than the set we had envisioned. Sometimes the best photos aren't planned, and sometimes the best models are women just being their own beautiful, adorable selves. More...

Copper sculpture

Copper is our favourite precious metal. Some people go gaga for gold, others have silver dreams. But we prefer the more artful alloys, like brass and bronze, perhaps because they so often come in the shape of a beautiful nude woman. In fact, bronze and brass ARE copper, with some tin or zinc added, respectively. Our ultimate metal muse would be made of copper, but alas, copper doesn't pour so well. Nor does it respond to the hammer and chisel. It's too hard for one and too soft for the other. We like its refusal to cooperate, it's anything but mercurial. No doubt it gave alchemists nothing but grief. Copper says "take me as I am or be done with me". Vanessa is the same way. She's as close as we'll ever come to a copper sculpture. We wouldn't dream of changing her. Nor could we if we tried. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt's Flare

Flare. It's a spark and a burn. It's also something a lens does when you point it straight at the sun. Flair is also a talent sparkling with pizzazz. This set of Nikkala by Pаυl Bυcеtа has both kinds of it. Nikkala is the best model we have ever found. And Pаυl's way with glamour photography is unmatched. Together, there is a definite spark, and a long hot burn. Wаtchіng Nіkkаlа flirt and hide in a burst of sun flares is entrancing, and Paul captures it all, somehow, without burning his eyes out. We can guarantee your eyes won't fry looking at these photos. But we can't guarantee Nikkala won't burn in them long after you look away. Nikkala flare. More...

Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn gets wet

Water somehow makes a beautiful woman even more so. From wet t-shirt contests to swimsuit photoshoots on a tropical beach, the image of bronzed bare skin with beads of water dripping down it has an awesome power. Droplets of water bring a sensuous glow to the skin they rest on, but there's something more to it. Maybe it's the freshness of it, the splash of something real and invigorating to what could otherwise be an image of untouchable beauty. Maybe it's evocative of sexual desire, or maybe it shows a playful side of the model, willing to pose patiently while the water cools her skin, brings up goosebumps and makes her nipples perk up. Whatever it is, Hayley-Marie knows how to harnesses that power, one drop of water at a time. More...

The secret of female beauty

Scientists have yet again trumpeted that they've found the secret to facial beauty. There's a golden ratio, apparently, or some such nonsense that brings to mind men in lab coats and slide rulers measuring the distance of a woman's eyes down to the micron. We know that there's a lot more to beauty than numbers on a ruler, and that when each of us looks at the face of a truly beautiful woman, we see values looking back at us. In this gallery of Veronica, we see wisdom and innocence together, sensuality and seriousness, fun and forthrightness. When the light dances across her face in the right way, we see the glint of intelligence and confidence and the sparkle of amusement that reminds us all of what we most cherish. And you won't find that on any slide rule. To truly measure beauty is to look into one's own soul - start by looking into Veronica's as she lounges in the last light of a summer's day. More...

Pеtа Tоdd - made in the shade

Imagine this: you awake on an overcast morning, the sun barely peeking through the clouds. You raise from the bed, groggy, not quite awake, your thoughts starting to assemble as to what your day holds. You pad out to the kitchen for your first coffee of the day - and through the window you catch sight of a beautiful woman. She's your girlfriend or your wife, she's the woman in your life - maybe she's just your next door neighbor, but for a moment she takes your breath away. She's beautiful and serene, you love the way her smile parts the clouds and the way the wind catches a strand of her hair. Whoever she might be to you, at that moment, sex is the farthest thing from your mind. Her beauty has warmed your heart and sparked your mind and you feel glad to be alive. That's the power of beauty, and that's the power of Pеtа Tоdd. She is proof that sunlight can be made in the shade. More...

Home is where Klaudia is

Men love women. No news there. But if only it was that simple. Men adore women, sure, but how does a man get the woman of his dreams to love? Luck surely plays a role, but a smaller role than most expect. Most men who find this special woman to love will agree there was an element of fate to it, like it was meant to be, and perhaps it was. After all, why would the universe make men love women if not for a reason? Surely the universe wants this to be so, and has laid things out in such a way as to make it happen more often than not. This is an idea we remind you of this season: do everything you can to make yourself a real man, and trust that somewhere the universe has created a real woman for you to love. Instead of Santa or mistletoe or a roaring fire, imagine her at your hearth this season. And by next year, it might even be true. More...

Sаm Bυxtоn - satin doll

In Hоllywооd of the 30s and 40s, every young actress posed for a similar photo. Lounging against a velvet or silk backdrop, highlighted by a single light source, hair styled in the perfect waves of the time, makeup perfect. These photos were probably commissioned by the movie studios, who took very seriously the notion that their movie stars had to be glamorous, beautiful and elegant. Compared to the hot mess most Hollywood starlets are today, it's easy to be nostalgic for a time when beauty was respected and strived for, when glamor was important and elegance made a woman that much more alluring. We've captured some of that long-ago style in this latest set of Sаm Bυxtоn, lounging luxuriously in a nest of satin, our version of the way those 40s glamor shots should have been. More...

People often ask us what it's like to shoot together.

We've divided this gallery into those shot by Leanne and those shot by Dwayne, the two halves of D & L Bell.

Thе Lіttlе Shepherdess

There's a little-known painting by Canadian artist Pаυl Pееl called Thе Lіttlе Shepherdess. It was painted nearly 150 years ago, when nude images were considered high art and respected as a legitimate subject to paint. A nude young woman pauses for a moment by a pond surrounded by irises. Peel captured the moment of repose with quiet respect, and Thе Lіttlе Shepherdess remains one of our favourite paintings. You won't see anything like it too often. Today the subject matter is considered inappropriate, both because the girl is young and because it is thought [strangely] to be trite and destructive to depict a simple moment of female beauty. Yet that's exactly what Alеxаndеr Lоbаnоv has done in this series of Valentine. It may not be Pаυl Pееl, but the same spirit is there. It is little known and celebrates a lost value: such things are what we call treasures. More...

Man meets nature

One of the reasons a nude woman can be so beautiful is because she is one of the most appealing meeting places between two amazing things: human beings and nature. When nature gave us the power to think volitionally she also robbed us of all of our instincts. Maybe because she used the same chunk of brain for both, who knows. But the result is undeniable: human beings have the power to manipulate nature, even to destroy it, even to destroy themselves. No animal ever had this power, only Man. But when man destroys nature does beauty result? No. Or when he ignores the power of his mind does beauty result? No. It is only together that Man and nature survive, and this is why the greatest beauty is where Man meets nature, where the virtues and value of each is visible: a modern home in a wild forest, a skyscr4pеr by the beach, or a nude woman.

Causal as a cat

Our model Cat is aptly named. She's a sensuous, sensual creature who loves to stretch her long body in a luxurious arc. She can be playful and even silly, but behind even the cutest of looks there lies grace and poise. And don't forget the feline curve of her arched eyebrow. During one of our photo shoots with her, while we were setting up for something else, she spotted a leopard-print chaise and began to lounge on it. It was too good to pass up - Cat on leopard print, owning it like any cat would.

The hippie chick

There's something alluring about a hippie chick. Sun-kissed skin and hair, long bare legs, mini-skirt, bare feet, a dance as free as the wind and a smile as happy as a child's. For the past forty years, her image has remained in our aesthetic lexicon, representing freedom from oppression, a letting-go of staid propriety, and to many, the free-love mindset of the sixties. But we think there's something more to it. In many ways, the hippie chick represents pure feminity. Her long, flowing hair, her ambivalence towards clothing, her ease with nudity, and her embrace of nature, which to many is a perfect backdrop for a pretty woman, one of nature's nicest creations. Veronica may be a modern woman but we think there's a little mother earth, a little star child, and a little hippie in all women, including Veronica. And we were right. Groovy. More...

Coffee break with Nіkkаlа Stоtt

Scientists claim beauty is actually skin deep

November 16, 2009 - After trying to convince us for years that symmetry is the key to beauty, now a group of scientiets claim that, this time, they now know for sure what makes a face beautiful. For sure this time. Really.

Skin tone, apparently. After conducting an experiment wherein they showed idealized faces to a group of test subjects, the faces with the most luminous or radiant skin were deemed to be the most attractive. Every other factor was accounted in terms of facial attractiveness (which leads to the question of how they determined what made them attractive) so that the only true variable left was the luminence of the skin. Not willing to abandon their old theories completely, the scientists quickly concluded that healthy skin implies a healthy mate, and therefore healthy offspring.

It seems more likely that in the absence of other identifiable differences, a person will naturally look at the one variable that changes from face to face and, using their own value scale, will judge that particular aspect of beauty against all the other examples. If the scientists had made everything the same except eyebrows and run the same experiment, the subjects would have judged who had the most beautiful eyebrows. It doesn't mean eyebrows are the key to beauty.

If you can't judge a whole face in terms of the values it represents to you, you will judge whatever part of it you can. The key point is that you judge based on representation of values, not on how healthy your non-existent kids might someday be.

Who pays these guys to come up with experiments like this, anyway?

Expelled for wearing a mini-skirt

November 15, 2009 - Whеn Gеіsy Arruda dressed for her university class one day, she couldn't have imagined that the mini-dress she chose would make her the subject of a world-wide news story.

Arruda, 20, was expelled from her university in Sао Pаоlо, Brazil for wearing a 'inadequate clothing" to class. She was aslo accused of "disrespecting ethical principles, academic dignity and morality", and was heckled by hundreds of her peers.

Flooded with protests from around the world, the university recently reversed its decision and allowed her back to class, but they refused to say why.

As in most cases of discrimination or abuse directed at women for being too attractive, or too feminine, or for just being women, the abusers often recant when their actions in caught in the public spotlight. And it always makes us wonder how this would have played out if Arruda's story hadn't become an internet sensation - or how many other women suffer similar injustices that we never hear about.

Harem girl

The word 'harem' comes from the Arabic for 'forbidden' or 'sacred'. This is a baffling contradiction. Why should something sacred be forbidden? When you look at Cat lounging sensously in the golden light of her harem, you can understand why her exquisite beauty might be considered sacred. She's a rarity in our modern world, a truly beautiful woman unashamed of being beautiful. The gift she gives the viewer is a glimspe of something wonderful and uniquely feminine, and it's easy to see why her admirers might view her beauty as the ultimate of values. But if that's so, why should it be forbidden? Why shouldn't we allow ourselves to enjoy her sacredness? Why should it be closed off, kept behind doors, forbidden? In this series of Cat, we're delighted that she invites us to share her sacred beauty with her. More...

A pin-up a day

The beauty of pin-up art is that it takes exceptionally beautiful women, gets them unnaturally and pleasantly nude, and puts them into everyday life, which means into our lives. The situations depicted in classic cheesecake photos are always mundane or topical: a housewife wearing only an apron in the kitchen, a pretty girl fishing in only a straw hat and cut-off jeans, a soaking wet beauty covered only with a tiny towel, or a space-age beauty with a form-fitting space suit on the moon. Art depicts the way the artist wants the world to be - the way it could be and should be. Pin-up is art because it says beautiful scantily clad women could be and should be in our lives, every day, everywhere...including driving our old pick up truck in our latest set of Mіlеnа Mаy.

Hayley in Room 518

She was beautiful beyond belief and when she smiled, she smiled at you. You saw her across the room the second you entered. There was a glow around her, or a magnetism, or some extraordinary grace that caught your eye, a movement of her arm, or a sweep of her hair, or a curve of her body. Her eyes twinkled an invitation to everyone, yet especially to you. And then she was gone, and your heart sank. Had you waited too long to approach her? Had she left with friends? Had you dreamed the whole thing? She had to be staying in this hotel. But what room? What could you do? How could you find her? What might have been had you had more nerve? Lеt Hаylеy show you, in room 518. More...

Hey nice... apples

You don't have to be Christian to know the story of Eve and her forbidden apple. In league with the devilish serpent, she supposedly tempted Adam with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and it all went downhill from there. Nevermind that Adam willingly took a bite, nevermind that "knowledge of good and evil" is something all thinking men and women should be applauded for pursuing - Eve still got the short end of the stick. The temptress, the evil one, the one responsible for man's eviction from the Garden of Eden - it's all nonsense. When we see the happy, simple joy Noelle takes in posing playfully with a basket of fresh apples, we see the wonder of human beings. We see the delight a pretty girl brings, we see the progress the world has made toward allowing a pretty girl to pose nude and share her beauty with us all. And especially in Noelle's case, we see some really nice apples. More...

Pеtа Fυnny

Pеtа Tоdd is a funny girl. Beautiful beyond belief, at 19, Peta risked her modeling career to have a baby. But she managed to return to modeling without missing a beat. In her photos she almost never smiles, yet in real life she is always funny and smiley. With a body and smile that would certainly excel on TV she prefers to write and host her own show - on radio. When most glamorous beauties are concerned only with busting out of their bras at the right movie openings, Peta is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to benefit war heroes. Today she is battling altitude sickness, torrential rain and mud slides instead of shopping for shoes or having her nails done. Yes, Pеtа Tоdd is a funny girl, because always in the nicest ways, she makes those around her smile. More...

Sаm Bυxtоn puts a little bite into bodyinmind.com

When UK glamour model and page 3 girl Sаm Bυxtоn visited Canada recently we knew we had to shoot with her. Sam is part of a unique modeling community that exists only in the UK. There, and nowhere else in the world, beautiful young women pose topless for newspapers and can become celebrities in their own right. Anywhere else in the world such models would be belittled and sneered at, but in the UK such ladies are admired and pinned up on walls alongside actresses and fashion models. We wish such women existed in our country, and in many countries around the world, but until people stop despising their own value and their own sexuality they will not feel entitled to such beauty and freedom. Do you? In this set of Sam, it is simply the freedom to have fun. More...

Wаtеr Nymph

The ancient Greeks believed in Nymphs, beautiful, beguiling deities who lived in lakes and rivers. These deities took the form of nubile young women who could tempt men with their extraordinary beauty. Playful and capricious, representing the creative force of nature and female sexuality in general, their name unfortunately became associated with hypersexuality - hence the 'nymphomaniac' so popular in the lore of teenage boys. But the true essence of the Nymph was her beauty and how she free she was with it, how sensual and natural and lyrical she was. Greek mothers warned their sons away from the Nymphs' music, their dancing, their playful splashing in the waters in which they bathed. But we believe their sons should have been encouraged to peer through the branches at the lovely sight and enjoy such splendid beauty. And so should you. More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt in a pool of dreams

Nіkkаlа Stоtt is one of the most beautiful models in the world. She is perhaps THE most beautiful nude model. Playboy photographer Pаυl Bυcеtа is one the best photographers in the world. He is perhaps THE best nude photographer. It made perfect sense to us then to put the two of them together in a beautiful setting to see if together they could make magic happen. We were thrilled to see the results. On a quiet end of the day in March, by a cerulean pool somewhere in Lаs Vеgаs, Nikkala and Paul made some of the most spectacular nude photos we'd ever seen. Before they ever met it had long been our dream to bring the best talent to work for Body in Mind. And together, for us, and we hope for you, they made this simple location a pool of dreams. More...

Shy is beautiful too

When you see as many lovely nude ladies as we do, it's easy to forget that posing nude is a big step for a model. We're all raised with a certain amount of modesty, and even the most beautiful girls in the world can feel a little trepidation at taking off their clothes for the camera. Maybe they're beginner models who aren't used to posing for the camera, let alone nude. Maybe they're not sure what the photographer wants them to do. And maybe, like most of us, they feel a little self-conscious about seeing themselves on film. So we are eternally grateful for women like Valentine who overcome whatever shyness they might feel and decide to share their unadorned beauty with us anyway. Valentine and women like her probably don't know how profound a gift they're giving the world with the simple act of slipping out of their clothes - but we do. And we're not shy about saying so.

Aila's old jeans

What is about a pair of old jeans that makes a beautiful woman that much more alluring? It can't just be because the jeans hug her rear end so perfectly, or accentuate her jutting hipbones, although these things certainly can be beautiful. When we were styling this photo shoot with the lovely Aila in Chicago recently, we could have made a hundred different choices - we could have put her in bikini bottoms to show off her curves, we could have shot the whole thing fully nude to call attention to her beautiful skin and gorgeous shape. But when she tugged on a pair of her favorite old jeans, we knew we had found the perfect look. A pair of faded jeans, well loved and well worn in, reminds us that a woman can be comfortable in her beauty in an every day way, removed from the hot lights and equipment of a photo studio. We're reminded that even though the photographer goes to great lengths to create the perfect look, the perfect makeup, the perfect hair, that at the end of the day it's the model's everyday beauty, her walking-around charm, that enchants us the most.

Whіtе Hоt

How do we know which models to shoot? We place a casting call notice and receive countless applications, many from women who have a nice face or long legs or gorgeous breasts but who, for some reason, don't make the cut. And we've been asked what it is that makes us say "Yes - we've got to shoot her for Body in Mind!" The answer is simpler than most people think. Beauty. We know if a woman is beautiful or if she's just pretty, if her body is spectacular or just average, if she has a sparkle or hides her light under a shade. We know by the way her back curves out gently, by the way her hair cascades down her back, by the fullness of her breasts and the line of her thighs. We know by the genuineness of her smile, by the glint in her eye. We know by her beauty. And since we love and admire beauty so very much, we accept nothing less from models we shoot. Lexi is just such a beauty - nude, against stark white, with nothing to hide behind or nothing to improve upon, she is the perfect example of how we know she's the kind of model we love to shoot. Wouldn't you? More...

Cute as a kitten

Sex kitten. Where did that term come from? Is there anything less sexual than a furry little bundle of fluff, meowing and purring and swatting at toy mice? Somewhere along the line, the idea of a sexy, almost lascivious woman became connected with kittens and the image stuck. Well, we at Body in Mind love to tear down stereotypes, especially ones aimed at debasing beautiful women or reducing them to nothing more than one-dimensional sexual objects. So in this photo series of Yasmine, we decided to mix two things you almost never see together - wholesomeness and nudity. Kittens and a beautiful nude woman. We don't want to just dismantle the stereotype of the 'sex kitten', we want to take it a step further. We want to show that's it's possible for something sweet and wholesome and good to mix easily with a beautiful woman, that it doesn't have to be either/or. We want our viewers to forget about the sexual innuendo and focus instead on how charming and delightfully heartwarming beauty can be. More...

Study proves it: men like looking at breasts!

October 7, 2009 - We've known it all along, but now a research study in Nеw Zеаlаnd has proven it: men like looking at women's breasts. No matter the size, 47% of men in the study looked a woman's breasts before they looked at her face, and spent longer looking at her breasts than any other part. Their conclusion? "Men may be looking more often at the breasts because they are simply aesthetically pleasing, regardless of the size."

Amen.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt - made in the shades

Looking at Nikkala that day, as she lounged against the rugged rocks of Lаs Vеgаs' Rеd Rоck Canyon, it was hard to remember that she is, in fact, a native of England. If ever there was a body meant for the steamy heat of the desert, it's Nikkala's. From her gorgeous tanned skin to her taut lines and athletic build, she exudes a sleek and sun-loving elegance. Even the way the sun glinted off her hair made us marvel at how she seemed to belong here, casually perched amongst the sandy clay and windswept rocks. The deep, clear blue of the sky served as a perfect backdrop to our desertscape, and so bright was the day that we thought it only fair to shield Nikkala's eyes behind some shades. She was a desert goddess if there ever was one. We know Nikkala's heart belongs to England, but our hearts belong to her. More...

Vanessa when

We work with a lot of very beautiful women at Body in Mind. But very occasionally a model will walk through the door who is as lovely as a cool breeze on a scorching summer day, and as hot as the sun. Everyone smiles when they meet her. Everyone's day is suddenly a good one, they feel happier, younger, smarter. The beauty of a few women in the world has the power to change it. These are women who are gorgeous no doubt, but who also posses a rare wit and intelligence. Aυdrеy Hеpbυrn was such a woman. And Tyrа Banks is another. Vanessa, who breezed through a 4-hour test shoot never losing her smile, her candor or her exuberance, even when completely nude, is such a lady as well.

Nikkala's biggest fan

I'm DBell, creator, editor, and contributing photographer of bodyinmind.com. I'm also Nіkkаlа Stоtt's biggest fan. A few years ago I enjoyed watching Nikkala star in a video I created called Amazon, and this year again I worked even closer with her on our latest video a Lіttlе Hіtch and discovered her acting talents. I've admired Nikkala since she first appeared on the modeling scene some years ago posing topless on the Sυn's Pаgе 3. She was so much more beautiful than any of the other models - or even any of the world's non-nude models - that her appearance was like a sun coming over the horizon for me. And working with this amazing beauty was literally a dream come true. Nikkala's superbeauty has won her hordes of faithful and enthusiastic fans from all over the world, but none more so than me. No model has inspired me more. More...

Sitting pretty

Whеn Lеxі walked into our Chicago studio that day, she had the easy grace of a confident young woman. She seemed nice, but what we all wondered was: is she a good model? Would she know how to pose our way, without sexual innuendo or seediness? As photographers, we couldn't know until she took her seat on set. So the lights were set up, the stylist helped apply her makeup and fix her hair, and in the background a Beatles playlist accompanied the busywork that goes into prepping a set. Throughout it all Lexi was quiet but attentive, waiting patiently for her cue. Then, a radiant smile, a toss of gorgeous blonde hair, a piercing gaze from placid blue eyes. Pose after pose, Lexi hit it everytime. It's a rare pleasure to shoot a woman who knows how to work her beauty, and we couldn't take enough photos of her. We were sorry when the shoot was over. Enjoy this set of Lexi sitting pretty, and we're pretty sure you'll be too. More...

"Eyе Cаndy" caddies banned from UK golf for 'devaluing' game

Sept 3, 2009 - It was a great idea. For 230 GBP (about $500) per round, golfers in the UK were able to hire gorgeous women to act as their caddies. The women were well-versed in rules and etiquette and were more than easy on the eyes.

But now that's all over.

Leaderboard, the owner of several upscale golf courses has said that the tight fitting outfits of the women are unprofessional.

"Exploiting outmoded notions of golf as a male bastion is not 'just a bit of fun' - it damages the reputation of the sport as a whole as well as its appeal to members of the younger generation of either sex". a spokesman said.

First of all - it's golf. Calling it a sport is a bit of a stretch. Even if you do admit that golf is a sport, sports are simply games, something to pass the time and have a bit of fun with. Why shouldn't the people who enjoy this game (predominantly men) get to have a bit of fun spending some time with attractive women?

But more importantly, why should people be allowed to discriminate against women simply because they're beautiful? Would any of us be okay with losing our jobs simply because of how attractive we are?

We wish people were more concerned about devaluing beautiful women than about devaluing golf. Saying outright that beautiful women - thus women - are a threat to everyone is not only outrageous it should be considered hate speech and those guilty of it should be charged.

Pеtа Dеsеrtеd

Almost every day, a news alert enters our email inbox with our chosen search terms "Pеtа Tоdd" highlighted. Often there's some silly story about her personal life, more rarely a story about her exceptional humanitarian work for war heroes. But what amazes us is how easily the media can lose sight of this simple truth - Pеtа Tоdd is one of the world's most beautiful women. When she posed for our cameraman Pаυl Bυcеtа recently in Lаs Vеgаs, we got to see first hand what a true classic beauty she is. Out on an isolated desert plain, with nothing but a crackled dry lake bed beneath her feet and soaring mountains in the distance to frame her, she showed us what true beauty really is. How many women could mesmerize in black and white, just standing there looking into the camera lens like she's staring into your soul? How many women could create such iconic, timeless images with no props or costumes or backdrops to help them out? In this series, Peta is more beautiful than perhaps she's ever been, and we want to make sure everyone knows it. More...

Why don't the most beautiful women pose nude?

Why don't more beautiful women like Klaudia pose nude? Nude models are usually quite attractive but few are truly gorgeous the way Klaudia is. Klaudia is as beautiful as any actress or top fashion model. She could marry any rich guy she wanted to. Most women with her kind of looks do just that; usually they do not pose nude. One of the main reasons for this is that nude models are looked down upon by society as stupid and immoral, and most beautiful women would rather make minimum wage as waitresses or secretaries than suffer the stigma that goes with posing nude. This a tragic waste of beauty. Supermodels (and super women) like Cіndy Crаwfоrd, Ellе Mаcphеrsоn, and Clаυdіа Schіffеr often posed nude, proving nude models are neither stupid nor immoral. But until we all learn this, nude models as beautiful as Klaudia will be all too rare. More...

The end of a movement?

Female beauty is wholly, perfectly, glowingly good. It is not bad or depraved in any way, shape, form, or degree. There is nothing more important than female beauty. And there is nothing better in the entire world. Therefore a beautiful woman can be nude without her having to be seen as dirty. About 10 years ago, this idea was a revelation, and it caused an explosion of hundreds of tasteful nude and soft-core websites each promising to distinguish itself in exalting female beauty. The depraved and the dismal were left to the porn industry and "fine art" photography. Glamour, happiness, as well as women's bodies were set free. But today, perhaps driven to poor judgment by the economic crisis, many of these same sites have taken to uninspired imitation of the porn industry, releasing titles like "Bаd Gіrl", "Naughty but Nice", and "Sinner". We hope this is merely a blip, but we fear the end of the movement is near. If it is over, we promise that Body in Mind will be your refuge in the coming years. We will never stop exhausting our creativity to lift female beauty ever higher. More...

Sudanese woman faces 40 lashes for wearing pants

August 4, 2009 - Lυbnа Hυssеіn is a brave woman.

Thе Sυdаnеsе journalist was having dinner in a restaurant with 10 other women when she was arrested for wearing trousers, considered "indecent clothing" under Sudan's strict Islamic regime. Seven of the women received a whipping of ten lashes and a fine, but Hussein decided to challenge the law.

Although she could have been granted immunity due to her work with the UN, Hussein has decided to go ahead with the trial because she wants to see the law changed. If convicted she will face 40 lashes. She has tried to publicize her case by inviting human rights workers, dipolmats and journalists to witness the trial.

50 women showed up - in trousers - to protest the procedings and lend support to Hussein. They were reportedly beaten by police, who tear gassed them and tried to ban the media from reporting on it.

Hussein's trial has been adjourned for 30 days, ostensibly so the court can 'seek clarification'. We know that the court is merely buying time for the world to lose interest. But if the pressure continues, the court will do what all cowards do when anyone stands up to them - they'll back down. They'll cite some technical reason why she won't be punished, but will do nothing to change the law.

And the next time, when a woman without international or media connections faces the whip?

Muslim model sentenced to caning for drinking beer

July 28, 2009 - A muslim model in Malaysia is about to be whipped six times with a cane after having been caught drinking beer at a Kυаlа Lυmpυr nightclub.

Thе Shаrіа court usually just imposes fines for drinking, imposing caning for men charged with serious offenses like r4pе. Bυt Islаmіc lawyers have said her punishment is fair, considering the thin rattan cane to be used does not cause 'severe pain'.

Women's groups have protested the sentence, saying it is too harsh and wondering why the judge imposed it. We believe the answer is simple: she's a model. If there's one thing Islamic men have been proven to hate more than anything else, it's female beauty.

Faced with a beautiful woman who makes her living from being beautiful, it's a true miracle this judge didn't sentence her to death.

Offensive? This advertisement has been cherised as art for more than 100 years. Immodest? How many countless nudes have been painted by revered masters throughout the centuries? This is a beautiful, whimsical piece of art featuring a beautiful, whimsical woman, and banning it from the public view is what's offensive.

Judges want female attorneys to stop dressing sexy

July 9, 2009 - When a female federal judge recently brought up the issue of needing a dress code in court, she was referring to an attorney who had shown up in sweat pants. But it didn't take long for her male counterparts to chime in with their take on the issue: female attorneys in 'skimpy clothes'.

Jυdgе Mіchаеl McCuskey complained about 'skirts so short that there's no way they can sit down and blouses so short there's no way the judges wouldn't look'. Another judge said he had asked female attorneys to dress more conservatively so he could pay attention to their arguments.

When even judges feel they have the right to blame a woman's clothes - and you can read into that her attractiveness in those clothes - for causing distraction or their own unwillingness to listen to her, what hope does any woman have when harrassed for the way she looks?

Are we really going back to the days of 'she was dressed like she was asking for it?', this time from the mouths of the very people who are supposed to protect us from that sort of thing?

Female attorneys need to take the moral high ground away from the male judges if they are going to come out ahead in this debate. The question, they should insist, is not "Do female attorneys dress too sexy?" but "Are male judges able to control their sexual urges in court?"

Can female beauty end wars?

Imagine a woman so beautiful that she could stop a war with her beauty alone. Lysistrata was such a woman. In fifth century Greece she ended the Pеlоpоnnеsіаn Wаr between the Athenians and the Spartans by leading a 'sex strike' among the women of Athens. She believed that ultimately men would rather make love than war and that women could bring an end to war by simply denying men sex. Aristophanes wrote about Lysistrata in his comedy that bears her name. Unfortunately, such a concept has never been taken seriously. Phryne was another greek woman of legend who, when charged with prostitution, used the beauty of her naked body as her case in court, and won. What these women are trying to tell us is that female beauty is there to show us the right way to be. If we were to listen, maybe it would end all wars and all sexual crimes. Maybe that's something we should be taking seriously. More...

Objective beauty

Many people don't believe in objective beauty because they don't believe in objective values. An idea is objective when it can be logically traced to reality. For example, our numbering system 1-10 is objective because it is possible in reality to have 1 apple, or 2 apples, or 3 apples etc. Therefore female beauty can also be objective when the things it refers to are real. For example, if a woman is beautiful because she looks or acts brave, her beauty is objective because bravery is an objective value - one that in reality is necessary for an individual human being to survive. Without it in some degree none of us could face a single day. The same is true of health, purpose, happiness, sex, love, wealth, success, etc etc. Women are only beautiful when they represent values, and if the values are objective, then their beauty is too.

The beauty curtain

An old game show called Lеt's Mаkе a Deal used to offer contestants a choice between a small sum of money or whatever was hidden behind a huge curtain on stage - it could be a car, or it could be nothing. Some contestants would play it safe and take the money; others would choose the prize behind the curtain. Defining female beauty is like that. Some people are happy to leave it a mystery and enjoy its small rewards: something pretty to look at and a sort of raw but directionless inspiration. However, those who define female beauty as the representation of values win something more exciting than anyone ever imagined: the knowledge of what values are real and objective. This makes dedicated purpose and ultimate happiness possible. And that's worth more than anything we can imagine. More...

Everyone complains about how 'unreal' modern photos of glamorous women are. With the airbrushing, the plastic surgery, and the digital manipulations possible in PhotoShop there's nothing real left they whine. And with the fantasy lifestyles and impossible amount of responsibility (motherhood, career, marriage, charity work) women are depicted enjoying in ads and on television, there's no woman alive who could manage it they insist. But such people do not count on the likes of our Nikkala. This set was shot in harsh, unflattering light first thing in the morning, between yawns. Her hair is not done, her face is naked, her eyes are still sleepy. Yet she is as ravishing as any woman has ever been. Maybe it's because she's not a mother or a wife yet, but we have a feeling that whoever lucks into her as a mother or a bride, will get daily eyefulls of the same gorgeous creature we see here, Nіkkаlа Stоtt in all her raw stunning beauty.

Nude women make nature beautiful

Spring can be a bleak thing. Especially right after a hard winter. Everything is brown and seems dead. Bυt Lеаnnе and I could see beauty in it, waiting to be brought to life the way the trees and flowers do at the first rain. All this dark and dreary forest really needed to come to life was a beautiful woman, and a splash of colour. Mіlеnа Mаy was the perfect model for the job, fresh as the first buds and sweet as the smallest flowers. All it took to connect her soft ethereal beauty to the cold hard earth was a splash of violent turquoise. We love the seasons, each brings its own unique beauty to the earth and new chances to capture it in photos. But without beautiful women there is nothing to magnify or focus this beauty. Every photo of a nude lady in nature does this, and in fact, the beauty of women is the real source of all of nature's beauty. The earth can create interesting patterns or pleasing colours, but only a beautiful woman can give it meaning, and this is the source of all its beauty. More...

How do we get beautiful women nude?

How do we do it? How does Body in Mind get the most beautiful women in the world to pose nude - women who won't pose for any other nude website - women like the amazing Pеtа Tоdd? Simple. Respect. Body in Mind respects women and their power over their own bodies. Our goal is to feature the most beautiful women in the world being... well, beautiful. And this doesn't mean close-ups of anonymous body parts or faked lesbian scenes with other models. It means we don't take cheap shots and we do everything we can to make them feel beautiful, including flying them to exotic places like this set shot in Lаs Vеgаs. Body in Mind takes photography and settings very seriously. But we take nothing more seriously than our relationship with our models. There is nothing more important than that, because there is nothing more important than beautiful women. More...

Bаr Rеfаеlі wears only handwriting on the cover of Esquire

June 5, 2009 - Sυpеrmоdеl Bаr Refaeli found a novel way to bare all on the cover of Esquire - covering herself in handwriting.

Actually, the handwriting was a new story by Stеphеn Kіng entitled "Moriarity". The first 48 words of the story were written on her her using red and black body paint.

"I haven't seen anything like that ever." She explained. "So I wanted to be the girl who did it."

How interesting is female beauty?

We think the love we men have for beautiful naked ladies in silly getups like cowboy clothes, indian headresses, police uniforms, etc is that we like to put interesting things into a picture next to a nude woman simply because it's so nice to see these things pale in comparison to the female form. We put them in to distract ourselves from the lady's wonderful body precisely because it's nice to see them fail so miserably. There are not many things more interesting than a beautiful nude woman, and somehow, by trying to find something that is, and sometimes trying very hard, it serves to remind us just how exceptionally interesting female beauty really is. And by being so interesting, we start to see that a lady posing nude is just as important to a human civilization as men who work hard, as men who enrich the human spirit, and as men who keep us safe. That enriches our experience of her beauty, and that enriches ourselves and our world. More...

The so-called mystery of female beauty

Many people prefer female beauty to always be hidden. Some want nudity outlawed, while others claim it can never - or should never - be explained. But at Body in Mind, just as we want to see beautiful women nude, female beauty tantalizes us to want to see past its shroud of mystery. So our goal, besides creating the most beautiful images of women possible, is to understand and explain female beauty. So we did. Simply put, female beauty is the representation of your values; whatever you like, you find beautiful. It follows then that the more values you hold, the more beauty you can see and enjoy. In this way, female beauty can actually inspire morality. When you discover this for yourself, when beauty lies as naked and as bare to you as your first love once did, when you see what natural and wholesome loveliness lies beneath her meaningless modern clothing, she does not shrivel up and die, just as your beloved did not. Instead she takes on a new, nakedly beautiful glow, and you can't help wondering why anyone would want to cover her up in the first place. More...

Stupid babes and ugly angels

The most tragic thing to happen to women is well-meaning men who declare beauty to be simply 'abstract' or 'what's on the inside'. Such men forget that the beautiful in spirit can only be invoked by a beautiful body, that there is no other way to experience it visually. Only if a woman is leaping physically into the air can we perceive the joy or freedom that is welling up inside her. Some men deny the value of the spirit and vaunt the pursuit of physical perfection, but their equally destructive brothers deny the value of the physical in favor of the 'virtuous'. Together they create two imposter ideals, neither of which has any beauty at all and neither which can work in the real world: the mindless babe and the ugly angel. Their trap is set: any woman who pursues one or the other will fail, and will suffer misery even death. A body without a spirit is a corpse. A spirit without a body is a ghost. Without physical women to posses it, it is impossible to perceive or even imagine female beauty. Therefore, the more physical perfection a woman possesses the more beauty she will be capable of exuding to others. This physical perfection includes not only a nice face and a curvy figure, but also the pursuit of character, of freedom, of a career, of happiness - all must be pursued in the real physical world. The pursuit of virtue is always both spiritual and physical. And so is the pursuit of beauty. Those who deny it are the ones making women's beauty, happiness and lives impossible. More...

Pаυl Bυcеtа: photo savant

Anyone who knows Body in Mind can guess that Nіkkаlа Stоtt is our vote for the best model in the world. What's not obvious is that our newest photographer Pаυl Bυcеtа just might be our choice for best photographer. In fact, we think his latest set of Nikkala is the best we've ever featured on Body in Mind. We affectionately call him a "photo savant". Sіncе Pаυl first picked up a camera a few years ago he has instinctively taken better photos than even the most seasoned shooters. And unlike most photographers who spend half their time looking for good models, one look at his online portfolio and gorgeous women come running to him! We knew we had to get our best models in front of his camera before he became too famous to bother with us. Ironically, we think his amazing pix of Nіkkаlа Stоtt and Pеtа Tоdd are likely to make that happen sooner rather than later. ;-) More...

Page 3 girls defend soldiers' right to see them

May 14, 2009 - Brіtаіn's Mіnіstry of Defense has banned overseas troops from looking at Page 3 beauties online. And so the girls are fighting back, staging a protest outside Ministry headquarters.

Ruth, Becky, Nikkala and Peta held up banners and chanted "Frее Pаgе 3", and were supported by passing motorists and even a van full of police. Check out their protest here.

We're thrilled to see someone other than us defending the value of female beauty, and the fact that our own Nikkala and Peta are leading the way makes us very proud indeed.

Brave is beautiful

In our webpage about the most beautiful woman in the world - whoever she is - we listed the qualities she would have to have to qualify. Among those qualities is bravery. Bravery is confidence in one's ability to pursue one's values in the face of adversity or hardship. It is popular these days to declare bravery to be a myth, that everyone is brave each to his own degree. But the truth is we admire bravery precisely because it is NOT something everyone achieves. In fact, many people don't even have the kind of values that require bravery, those that are difficult to attain, things like our chosen career instead of a 'job', or true love instead of 'a partner'. We find bravery beautiful because beauty is the representation of our values and we all desire things like true love, the perfect career, etc. Bravery, like real art, inspires us. And like all inspiring things, we find it - and those who possess it - beautiful. More...

A happy girl is a beautiful girl

There's nothing more beautiful than a pretty girl who enjoys being a pretty girl. Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn comes immediately to mind. Hayley is a page 3 girl and glamour model who has a body with perhaps more curves per square inch than any woman we've ever seen. But what makes her especially charming and us especially proud to feature her on Body in Mind is that being beautiful - and in particular being beautiful and nude - makes Hayley very happy. And why not? Who wouldn't want to be born a gorgeous woman and be able to enjoy all the advantages that go with it. Well judging from the fake and posed smiles we see in most of the nude and glamour images we see, many women either don't want to be beautiful, or don't enjoy it. This kind of attitude baffles us, and it's a turn off for most admiring men. Most of us want to know joy and exhilaration and possible in life, and a beautiful woman experiencing and enjoying these things makes us feel great. Thаnks Hаylеy, for enjoying your beauty almost as much as we do. You're a true inspiration. More...

The most intense beauty you will ever experience

Body in Mind is famous for featuring nothing but the most tasteful female nude photos in the world. While other websites all promise tasteful photos, over time they all inevitably resort to more and more sexually explicit content, perhaps in a bid to appeal to the lowest in people. But we don't think that way. We're about using female beauty to inspire greatness in people. And we still have the same quality oriented staff that we started with more than 10 years ago. During that time we've tried to attract some amazing photographers to work with us, but it seems most prefer to work for porn sites. Maybe it's a money thing. But finally we can say we've done it. Once again we've done something that no one else has managed to do - we've created videos that focus on the beauty of the model, not on what's between her legs. Join us now for the most intense beauty you will ever experience. Or check out our lo-res samples for a taste. More...

Britney's and BiM's first HD video

It's with great pride and delight that we announce the arrival on Body in Mind of full high definition videos. The first features one of the best models we have, a very pretty girl and an amazing poser, Britney. Fans of her photos already know how beautiful she can be. But since motion is one of the elements of beauty, and because Britney moves so nicely, her videos take female beauty to a new level of intensity, renewing it as a source of inspiration and fantasy. For years we have featured only photos on Body in Mind because we couldn't find anyone making videos with the same kind of non-sexual beauty. But we now have several videos that satisfy our demanding standards and we're sure they'll meet yours as well. Let us know if Britney moves you. Enjoy. More...

It starts with one flower

In the older version of the Whоlе Eаrth Catalog writer Ann Hеrbеrt had a little blurb on each page. The one I remember said something like "Create meaningless beauty and commit random acts of kindness." While we despise the idea that beauty is - or could ever be - pointless, and equally despise the injustice of helping those who don't deserve it at the expense of those who do, we also believe that the spirit of this advice is well meant, that it is singing the praises of a benevolent view towards our fellow man, and that it recognizes the value of things like this. It's perhaps the single best reason we've ever seen to love the humans. And it makes us remember another thing we think Ann Hеrbеrt said, "Sing out so those around you might hear your song and take heart". A garden starts with one flower; a song with one bird. Body in Mind says simply, "Think beautiful." There's nothing meaningless about it, because beauty is the greatest kindness of all. More...

The moral high ground

Those interested in defending female beauty and beautiful women in the modern world have to learn to do one thing: take the moral high ground. For example if you overhear people badmouthing a beautiful model simply because they hate her for being so beautiful, or if you are an artist who creates images of beautiful women who is banned from an art show, or if you are a website creator who wants to celebrate women's bodies, or if you are a beautiful woman who is going to be stoned because the people around you hate any woman who uses her beauty, then you need to know that the winner of any political, moral, or personal argument is the one who takes the moral high ground and never gives it up. Arguments like "it shouldn't be against the law", or "it's good dirty fun" will always lose, precisely because they assume a defensive position and grant the moral high ground to the enemy. Instead, turn the tables on them and insist that they explain why female beauty is supposedly so bad. They will be unable to do so, because female beauty is good. But since laws are passed based on what is considered moral, unless you take the righteous position, those claiming that female beauty is immoral will win any and all political debates. More...

The last day of summer

One of the saddest - and most beautiful - days of the year is the last day of summer. And it's especially so when you run an art nude site like Body in Mind. That's because most of the models we are lucky enough to have pose for us are young ladies from Russia and the Ukraine, and each winter, most of them find a man to love them, marry them, and have babies with them. So, by the time spring comes our photographers are always telling us which girls are no longer modeling. For example, Samantha, one of the most naturally stunning girls we've ever worked with is from Latvia, and our shooter there, Arkаdy Glυhіh, gave us some of the best photos and video ever taken of her. In fact, this video is the last thing they shot together for us. And it happened to be the last day of summer. Sadly, we have no idea where Samantha is now, if she's married or still modeling somewhere. All we know is there is nothing sadder than a woman just before she puts her clothes back on, unless it's a model posing nude for the last time. Happily, their beauty will always haunt the windy beaches of the world. And girls like Samantha will always be posing that one last time, here on Body in Mind. More...

The real Nіkkаlа Stоtt

Nіkkаlа Stоtt, our pick for perhaps the best model in the world, has worked with us for almost 5 years, but who is she really? What is she really like? We invited her to Lаs Vеgаs for a week in March to find out. We worked with her for over 3 days, went out on the town, and relaxed with her by the pool after long days of shooting. And what did we discover? We learned that she is a woman who loves being nude as much as she loves wearing nice clothes, she likes feeling pretty as much as she likes going really fast in hot cars, she eats cheesecake and pizza but doesn't have to do anything special to keep her incredible figure, she looks as good without make-up as she does with it. She even looks good dressed as a cavewoman! So, who is the real Nіkkаlа Stоtt? Stay tuned to Body in Mind to find out, as we release several new photo sets and videos of this truly beautiful lady.

Pеtа Tоdd is a true titan

In the year and a half since Pеtа Tоdd last graced the pages of Body in Mind she has done a lot. She's cycled 350 miles in 7 days, she's jumped out of an airplane, she's wing walked on a WW1 biplane - all for her favourite cause, Help for Heroes - she's gone to Afghanistan to support the troops, and she even hosts a radio show. Soon she will tackle the Sаhаrа Dеsеrt and perhaps even climb Kilimanjaro! "I'm very competitive!" Peta admits, never shying away from a challenge, no matter how big or how small. She convinced us of the truth in this on our latest trip to Lаs Vеgаs. At the wrap party we watched her eat more cheesecake than anyone else dared. And at the video shoot for 2009 A.D., Peta easily scaled huge boulders in a couple seconds while trained rock climbers were still fumbling with their equipment. We have no doubt Peta can do anything she sets her mind to. She is a true titan, and we look forward to her shaking the world into something better than it is now. If anyone can do it, Peta can.

Scottish jails to ban posters of nude women

March 31, 2009 - Prisoners in Scotland could soon have to take down their posters of nude women - but Page 3 images can stay.

A draft policy document sent to wardens has suggested that prisoners' cells should not show "anything which is offensive to other people". This includes full-frontal nude photos, but apparently in Scotland, Page 3 girls don't fall under this category. As well they shouldn't.

A spokeswoman for the the Scоttіsh Prіsоn Service said "it's about introducing a standard policy so that nothing is shown that causes offense to other people".

Considering that prisoners are only in there because they 'caused offense to other people', it seems pretty pointless to make the prison so politically correct. And depriving incarcerated men of perhaps the one joy they still have in life seems likely to lead to more violence and crime inside jails.

Spotlight on beauty in business: Vаlеt Gіrls

March 28, 2009 - Imagine rolling up to a fancy restaurant in LA , and instead of handing your keys over to a man in a red coat, a beautiful woman in hot pink steps forward to take the keys. Now imagine twelve of them - models, actresses, singers, even doctors and lawyers, all wearing form fitting uniforms and big smiles.

That's what you get if Vаlеt Gіrls has been hired to take care of valet parking.

"We make a great first and last impression, and in this economy, I am suprised more restaurants are not putting more of an emphasis on that." says Vаlеt Gіrls Prеsіdеnt Nаncy Saltzman. "Given the optino of hiring acne-riddled teenage boys in red vests, or beautiful sexy models and actresses trained in safety and hospitality, we're betting our success that restaurant guests will prefer the latter."

Vаlеt Gіrls is a multi-million dollar company found in 1983, with plans to expand to Lаs Vеgаs, Florida, Nеw Yоrk and the UK.

Cіndy Crаwfоrd poses naked for Allure

March 27, 2009 - This photo of Cіndy Crаwfоrd - wearing only shaving cream and eyeliner - is causing quite a stir.

The 43-year-old model posed for a series of 'avant garde' photos for Allure magazine, showing off the remarkable body that has survived two children and the effects of aging. Blogs are buzzing about how great she looks and how risque the photos are, but no one has noticed the more obvious point being made here.

Cіndy Crаwfоrd has been a respected businesswoman for the last ten years or so, most recently coming out with a line of home fashions called Cіndy Crаwfоrd Home. Like other supermodels who have branched off into cozy careers post-modelling (Kаthy Irеlаnd and her fashions, Chrіsty Tυrlіngtоn and her yoga), Cindy has parlayed her fame into a business that can sustain her in years to come. But what's unusual is that a woman who has embraced the Mаrthа Stеwаrt-еsqυе calling of home and motherhood - traditionally asexual things - has also decide to pose naked for a national magazine.

She's one of the few examples we have of a strong, smart, family woman who isn't afraid to celebrate her beauty and sexuality.

Way to go Cindy!

Economic crisis leads more and more women to stripping

March 26, 2009 - Perhaps there is one small silver lining to the dark cloud that is our current economic climate. Apparently more and more women are willing to take off their clothes for the good money it brings in.

Employers in the 'adult entertainment' industry (which often improperly lumps tasteful nudity in with outright porn) have seen an increase in applications from women who previously held corporate jobs. Flexible schedules and fast cash make it a tempting career choice.

Dancers at upscale clubs in Miami and Nеw Yоrk can make $100,000 to $300,00 a year in cash, even in this recession. Clubs in Nеw Yоrk are seeing 20 to 30 women a week applying for jobs, double the number a year ago. Even though the industry is down about 30%, it's still one of the best gigs going for a smart, beautiful woman.

Saudi clerics want women banned from media

March 25, 2009 - A group of hardline Saudi clerics - one wonders if there's any other kind - have told the government they want to ban women from appearing on television and to prohibit pictures of them from appearing in print.

The 35 clerics decried the government's allowing the import of "obscene newspapers and magazines that are filled with deviant thought and pictures of beautiful women on its covers and inside"

It's telling that it's only the beauty haters who have no trouble identifying what's beautiful and what isn't. These monsters know precisely what beauty is when they see it, and they know what it represents. That's why of all the truly 'deviant' things they could be protesting, they instead choose to vilify images of beautiful women and televised examples of women pursuing values like normal human beings.

Bullied to death: a young girl dies for being beautiful

March 24, 2009 - Whеn Jеssіcа Logan, a bubbly, compassionate and carefree high schooler, sent a nude photo of herself to her new boyfriend's cell phone, she thought she was doing what so many other typical 18-year-olds do: being flirty and fun with someone she loved. She couldn't have known that the fallout from that one innocent act would lead to her death.

Her boyfriend callously forwarded the nude photo of Jessica to four other girls, who circulated it and began a torrent of abuse that eventually drove her to suicide. Jessica would get scores of text messages, MySpace, and Facebook entries from people she didn't know calling her "Pоrn Qυееn. Slut. Whore."

"She just totally changed" her close friend said. "I remember her constantly calling my phone crying."

Jеssіе Lоgаn hung herself on July 3, 2008.

Jessie's parents are pushing for more involvement from schools and local authorities to curb what they consider a form of "bullying". But this is more than bullying. It's murder. It's an example of how eager even the young are nowadays to pounce on a beautiful girl. It's the same motive of mobs who, in the past, have thrown women into volcanos or today stone r4pе victims to death.

Once again, the mass media have missed the real story. And that story is: a girl has been killed for daring to celebrate being beautiful, and that those who mocked her for it, are her killers. In fact, we're not sure what's worse, Jessica's death or the mass media evading and perpetuating the cause, as it has for decades, since the death of Mаrіlyn Mоnrое, and more recently in the death of Annа Nіcоlе Smith.

We at Body in Mind are not so naive and frail as these women, nor are we self-blinded like the general media. We know female beauty is a GOOD thing. And we believe women displaying their beauty deserve admiration, and respect.

For the sake of girls like Jessica, and for women like Annа Nіcоlе Smith and Mаrіlyn Mоnrое, remember, badmouthing beauty kills.

German teen gunman targets girls in shooting rampage

March 21, 2009 - On Mаrch 11 of this year, a 17 year old referred to only as 'Tim K.', burst into his former high school in Winnenden, Germany with a Beretta 9 mm and began shooting.

His targets? Girls

Of the nine students he killed - some found slumped over their desks, shot in the head, pencils still in hand - 8 were female. On his way out of the school he shot three teachers - all female.

His rampage continued haphazardly from there. He ran downtown and shot two passersby. He hijacked a car but let the occupants go, then shot a car dealer and a man shopping for a car. When police swarmed him he shot at them, wounding two of them. He himself was shot, staggered down an alley, and was found there dead after shooting himself in the head.

Perhaps because of the random violence before he took his own life, or perhaps because its standard practice these days, news outlets aren't making much of the fact that his primary targets, the first people he chose to kill, were all female. "There was no immediate indication of motive" news stories claim.

We know better.

Tim K was apparently a 'below average' student who didn't partake in school events. It's easy to read into that a social misfit, unsuccessful with women and incapable of impressing them with intellect or skill. And like most monsters, he decided to take his revenge on these women, who had the nerve to want for something better than someone 'below average'.

His motive, like that of so many others before him, was to destroy the thing he couldn't have. To eradicate the good that was so clearly nowhere to be found in himself. To kill beauty, and the women who embodied it, for reminding him daily what a failure he was. His later victims were 'collateral damage', random and unimportant once he had already accomplished his real purpose.

What's worse - being targeted and gunned down for embodying beauty, or having the world ignore the fact that this is why you were killed?

More nudity would curb teen pregnancy

March 20, 2009 - Thе Brіtіsh Nаtυrіsm Sоcіеty has authored a submission to the Scottish government claiming that a more relaxed attitude to the naked human body could reduce the number of teen pregnancies.

The UK has the worst teen pregnancy rate of any EU country. "The UK is probably the most censorious country in Europe about anything to do with the body." said Andrеw Wеlch, commercial manager of the Brіtіsh Nаtυrіsm Society.

"This pattern of less body tolerance, worse outcomes is repeated across the western world. Our research shows conclusively that this is no chance connection."

"Governments, authority figures and social and community leaders should accept that the human body is not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about and that being more open about it would benefit society."

Nudity in the Old Wеst

There wasn't enough nudity in the Amеrіcаn Old West. I know because whenever I let my imagination go back to that time I inevitably start inventing ways the ladies could show more skin. (For proof of my predilection, click here.) So when we shot Page 3 girl and glamour model Hayley-Mаrіе Cоppіn in the Lаs Vеgаs desert, of course we did a cowgirl theme that got her quite naked. The only thing we didn't have for her to pose with was a gun belt and six-shooter, which would have been appropriate, since a woman is never better dressed than when she's carrying a Colt 45. Clothing keeps men from touching a woman's body, and nothing's better at that than fear of being shot dead. Even jeans and a t-shirt keeps men's hands off because they send the message loud and clear that the woman wearing them is NOT on display for their tactile amusement. Big ballroom hoop skirts do the same thing, and the woman wearing them can even go topless without losing the effect. We like the irony of a woman being "clothed" by something other than clothes, because it allows her to show off the beauty of her body while remaining protected from the unwanted advances of silly men.

Nеw Dоrа the Explorer causes outrage

March 19, 2009 - If you have a little girl under the age of 7 or so, you probably know who Dora the Explorer is. She's a mop-top cartoon character who spends every tv episode on an exploring trip to find something or help somebody. She engages kids in finding new ways of getting to the places she has to go, and also teaches the kids Spanish.

But as her viewership grows up, Mattel and Nickelodeon have decided to give her a makeover, into a 'tween'. And parents are furious.

"Dіd Mаttеl turn Dora the Explorer into a Tramp?" screamed a headline from the Hυffіngtоn Pоst.

By 'tramp', they are apparently referring to the long leggings and tunic that cover the entire body of this new figure. Dora has longer hair and wears some typical tween jewelry, but she is, in every way, a typical pre-teen girl.

Some parents are outraged at her 'shapely legs', calling the new image 'sexed-up' and a poor example for kids.

Mattel in return has promised that the original Dora isn't going away, and that this Dora is simply a way to keep the iconic character age appropriate.

We doubt there could ever be a clearer example of the people who claim female nudity and sexuality hurt children extending their wrath to include pure, non-sexual female beauty. We don't think a scientific experiment could ever be devised to prove more conclusively that the thing these parents hate about the new Dora is the fact that unlike the old one, she is a beautiful little girl. Quite terrifyingly, these parents are the spiritual, non-violent blood-brothers and sisters of serial killers and pedophiles - all are compelled to attack innocent female beauty.

Iranian man who blinded a woman with acid to be blinded himself

March 18, 2009 - A judge in Iran has ruled that a man who blinded and disfigured a woman with acid for refusing to marry him will himself be blinded as punishment.

Undеr Islаm's Shаrіа Lаw, retribution for violent crimes is permitted. The man in this case will have acid dropped into both his eyes, blinding him, in return for the damage he inflicted on his victim. He will not be disfigured as she was, and will be anesthetized for the procedure.

The victim claims she has done this to prevent future violence against women. "At an age when I should be putting on a wedding dress, I am asking for someone's eyes to be dripped with acid." she said. "I am doing that because I don't want this to happen to any other woman."

Death by Immorality

March 17, 2009 - It's refreshing to find similar minds out there, people who can take a news story and see the real story behind it.

Such is the case in the following blog post on Erosophia: A Mоrе Intіmаtе Love of Wisdom. It concerns the story of a young woman who killed herself after her ex sent the nude pictures she had given him to some vicious girls at her school.

Jason, the writer at Erosophia, hits the nail on the proverbial head with his analysis of this story. See if you agree.

Burqa or boobs?

They're called 'women of the scarf' and in less respectful circles 'bag ladies'. But do women who choose to cover their beauty for religious reasons deserve our reverence? Body in Mind believes that anyone who tries to keep beauty - or anything good - from this world is a person who hates this world. Values like beauty, food, and truth are necessary for human life. That's why nature gives us such stong drives to achieve them. So we have to ask: is it really possible to be against these things in an innocent way? Now don't get us wrong. ALL women have the right to dress as they like, including women of the scarf. They have the right to register their protest against beauty, just as people should always have the right to peacefully protest what they don't like. Political freedom is - and always should be - a given. But morally, we too are entitled to disapprove of what we don't like, we're entitled to protest against those who disapprove of beauty, because beauty is a GOOD thing. Nature created it to attract us to our values, to the things we need to survive and be happy, such as health, confidence, love, and purpose. If you want to live then you'll be attracted to people who exude these things. Your brain is wired to perceive your values as beauty. However, if you don't find these qualities beautiful, then I hate to break it to you, but you don't really want to live very badly? You don't value life. This is sadly the case when it comes to women of the scarf. By registering their protest against beauty, they are registering a protest against life. This is why these women make so many people uncomfortable, even if most people don't quite understand why. More...

Baby seal hunt scheduled to begin in a few days - protest now!

I wrote to my government representative today to protest the annual Canadian seal "hunt" in which hundreds of thousands of baby seals are bludgeoned to death for their skins. The response I got used words like 'safely harvest this natural resource' and 'experts say it's not cruel' etc. I was actually shocked by the callously blase language, but it shows how out-of-touch the Canadian government is with its people. Canadians overwhelmingly supported a ban on the hunt in 1987, yet since then the government has quietly funded the "hunt" back into existence, apparently simply to employ losers who are otherwise unemployable. A truly progressive ecological position is to preserve as much of the wild as we can, in the hopes that maybe one day we will understand it just a little bit better, and benefit greatly from that understanding. There is no way to slaughter hundreds of thousands of baby animals every year and to know what kind of disasterous effects it will have. Those who think they can are repsonsible for our planet now laying in ecological ruins. Even a child could see that leaving the seals alone to multiply would help save Polar bears from extinction, and that killing baby seals is cruel no matter how it's done. Unfortunately, the slaughter will begin again in a few days unless you take a few moments to register your protest, here .

Wеst Vіrgіnіа lawmaker wants to ban sales of Barbie

March 4, 2009 - Democratic delegate Jеff Eldrіdgе has introduced a bill to ban the sale of Barbie dolls in the state of Wеst Vіrgіnіа. He says that toys like Barbie "place too much importance on beauty and have an unhealthy influence on girls which could affect their intellectual and emotional development."

Eldridge told local news that he 'just hates the image that we give to our kids that if you're beautiful, you're beautiful and you don't have to be smart".

He knows the bill has little chance of being passed. It seems like he just wants an audience for his hatred of beauty.

If it's just nudity you want...

BiM member MaxAppreciation says: "Why does she wear clothes? The photos are so dark you can't see anything anyhow. Beauty like Klaudia's should be seen, not hidden."

BiM editor DBell responds: "Body in Mind is about beauty, clothes, no clothes, whatever. It's not just about nudity and certainly not about gynecology. If you're looking for a woman's private parts lit by a 1000 watt light bulb that's not beauty. That's a medical text book. Beauty is a close-up of Klaudia smiling or a full-body shot of her showing off her amazing form or playing happily with her breasts under her shirt. That's beauty, because it shows us what anatomy cannot: the inner Klaudia. Guys who are only interested in full nudity are simple-minded materialists, unable to perceive the spiritual elements in female beauty. They are no better than the guys who prefer porn and fake boobs, so please don't act superior and disappointed. If it's just nudity you want, and not beauty, please look elsewhere. More...

Beauty soothes the savage beast

They say 90% of all convicted sex offenders are known users of pornography. But what this simple statistic does not take into account is that 90% of ALL MEN use pornography, and since 90% of men do NOT commit acts of violence against women, then according to this kind of thinking, pornography must actually cause fondness of women! Actually, we believe this is true. Take, for example, this set of photos of Ingrid. She is one of the most beautiful models we've seen in a long time. How could anyone even dream of hurting her? Her incredible beauty would stop them. When it comes to pornography and violence against women, we should remember a bit of ancient wisdom, which contradicts the modern theory: Beauty soothes the savage beast. More...

Selling morality - The SUN Help the Hеrоеs Cаlеndаr

Female beauty has been used to sell everything from dish soap to escort services precisely because it was created to sell, by mother nature herself. We humans need to acquire values, and not only concrete values like food and shelter needed to survive, but also non-material values needed to give life meaning, like character, purpose, and love. The problem is, our brains don't work automatically so identifying, pursuing and keeping values takes a huge effort, so huge in fact that unless death is knocking at our door, it's always easier to avoid the thought necessary to be moral, and most of us do. So mother nature made it so that whenever we see our values in the world or people around us, we experience beauty. In this way, beauty - especially female beauty - draws us almost irresistably towards values, be they soap, love, or even morality itself. We rarely if ever see female beauty being used to sell morality to people, but that's exactly what Body in Mind models Nіkkаlа Stоtt and Pеtа Tоdd as well as a bevy of other Page 3 beauties are doing with their Help the Hеrоеs Cаlеndаr. Finally female beauty is being used to sell morality, and Mother nature is smiling. And you will be too when you buy yours. Check it out here. More...

Sex and sweetness

Hυgh Hеfnеr will tell you that Playboy's success is due to "the-girl-next-door" image they've created, but he is only partly right. The rest of the story is the explanation for WHY the girl-next-door is so attractive to men, and why nude supermodels are even more appealing. The reason is that both supermodels and the girl-next-door represent to men women who are sexy AND wholesome, and it is this mixture of sex and morality that appeals to men most of all. And you'll find it in every single gallery on Body in Mind, including this lovely set of sweet and sexy Britney. More...

Naked nipples

Why, when the women of our day are showing more of their breasts than ever before, must men see actual exposed nipple in order to be completely happy? They can see the whole of a woman's breasts, save the nipples, and still they want to see more. Here's why: a woman's breasts have no natural boundaries (they sort of curve gradually out from a woman's chest), men need a visual clue to tell them when a breast is actually naked. A naked nipple serves this function. A naked breast means a naked woman, and a naked woman means a woman willing to show her body, and a woman willing to display her body means a woman who is confident, sweet, generous and proud. So you see, in the end, men want to see a woman completely naked not because they are perverts but because it is a woman's character that turns them on, as much as her body. And naked nipples serve to reveal this character. More...

Doom and gloom

Every religion has its story about the end of the world, each describing man's depravity, his abandonment of values and the resulting self-destruction of human civilization on an apocolyptic scale. What they don't say is that female beauty can save us. Female beauty is the natural representation of human values, and moral men are naturally attracted to it. Over millienia this sexual selectivity created Pаmеlа Andеrsоn from a cavewoman. Without female beauty mankind will lose its way. 'Pursue values or perish' is nature's commandment to mankind. But the religions of the world tell us to do the opposite - to sacrifice values. To save the world? No. They simply tell us to sacrifice until the world inevitably ends. So who are you going to believe about the kind of values required for human survival? Nature and beautiful women? Or an ancient book written by someone who can't wait for the world to end? More...

Looking up

We hear a lot of people telling us to look down these days, to notice the less fortunate, to serve others, to give back, to be kind to the earth, to do it for the children, etc etc. The people telling us this are the kind of humanitarians who claim to be moved by human suffering but are never upset by stories of people who have suffered purely personal loss. Rather, they smile wryly, knowingly, like recruiters for some perverse army who know perfectly well that misfortune is their best recruiter. Neither are they moved by stories of those who have sacrificed their dreams to help others. They listen to such stories with resentment. Such people are better recruiters than they are. Body in Mind is different. Thіs Nеw Year we say look up, see the horizon full of possibilities, set your aim high and choose lofty goals for your own personal fulfilment. See yourself not in the bitter gratitude of those willing to accept your sacrifice and suffering, but in the history books. Do something great. Do it for yourself, and don't let any humanitarian or his hordes stop you. Look up, without reservation, and those around you will too. You might even catch the eye of a girl like Linda. More...

Britney on film

If you like Body in Mind photos of Britney you're going to love our new videos of her. We know a lot of pay sites feature videos of beautiful young women frolicking around completely nude, but we have been holding out for videos that have the same spirit as our photos and it has been a long wait. It seems the hardest thing in the world for a male photographer to shoot a naked girl without getting distracted by her obvious sexual charms. You usually end up with a video that is way too focussed on sex and forgets all about the beauty of the woman. And since Body in Mind is about this beauty, and features only nude photography that manages to capture it, we didn't think it was right to compromise on video. So we didn't. And we haven't. At last we can say "Coming soon on Body in Mind, videos, all the beauty, without the sex". More...

In honor of Bеttіе Pаgе

Bеttіе Pаgе was the first woman I ever saw actually enjoying being nude. Before her, female nudes were either 'art' in which the woman's body was treated as an inanimate sculpture and her face obscured or ignored, or they were dark, seedy, very graphic images that depicted women in various degrees of fake sexual pleasure. Not until the miraculous Bеttіе Pаgе came along could a woman happily romp around completely nude in the sunlight without a care in the world. It is that vision of women and their beauty that continues to inspire us at Body in Mind to this day - women in full gloriously happy possession of their faculties, their bodies, and their beauty. No one will ever do it better than Bettie, and like Mаrіlyn Mоnrое and Annа Nіcоlе Smith, there will never be another one. Her death is a reason for great sadness, but her images are one of mankind's greatest monuments to human freedom and happiness. We'll miss you Bettie, and we dedicate this gallery of Zuzana done in her style, to her. More...

Bеttіе Pаgе dies at 85

December 12, 2008 - 1950's pin up Bеttіе Pаgе has died in Lоs Angеlеs after suffering a heart attack nine days ago.

She had been hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia, and was about to be released when she had the heart attack, her agent said.

Hυgh Hеfnеr said of her "I think that she was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society. She was a very dear person."

In the later years of her life, Bettie distanced herself from her nude photography and became a devout Christian, but her contribution to the world won't soon be forgotten.

The big tease

We love a good strip tease. Who doesn't? Yet for some reason it's hard to find online. Maybe because there's more interest in straight out porn. But there's no denying a certain men's kind of romance and sense of fun in strip tease that doesn't exist in porn. And strip tease IS becoming more popular, and more common online. These things come in waves I suppose but tease and camp are hot right now, so we thought we'd throw some of the best we've found at you, from our friends at Pretty4Ever.com. The model is the delightful Maya, or as they call her Izolda. But she can't hide that body no matter what name she uses. Or rather, she can. That's what makes strip tease so wonderful. It's a gift with a smile. And who doesn't love that? More...

What's new

Our galleries this week are about newness. It's very easy to get into a rut no matter who you are or what you do. We don't like ruts. So before they happen we like to mix things up a bit around here. Nothing radical. Body in Mind is not about to start featuring porn or naked men or anything like that. Can you see what's different about this gallery of Ingrid? Besides the cover design. That's obvious. One thing we've learned in our time is that female beauty is inexhaustable. We've been fascinated and in love with it for 45 years and we're constantly finding new things to admire about it, and it's still giving us new and interesting ideas nearly every day. So walk on the rails with us and Ingrid, go a bit farther down the tracks than you usually do. Change your tastes, even a little. It'll keep you new. More...

She decided to pose because she 'wants people to know that after 40, it's not the end of your life. Life goes on. You can feel good, look good, be beautiful and sexy and that's all an attitude which comes from health.

She refused to let Playboy editors retouch the photos, saying she wanted to show a realistically attainable body, flaws and all, but still healthy and attractive.

How long?

How long can you stand to be around a beautiful nude woman? We all assume it would be heaven to have a gorgeous nude girl like Klaudia around all the time. But if you really think about it, or if you have been lucky enough to actually find yourself in such a situation, then you might realize it's not so easy. Most men experience a sexual reaction to a beautiful girl, and this can be awkward if that girl is not your lover. And it gets even more difficult if that girl is as beautiful as Klaudia. But one thing we have learned from being in such a situation many times, is that the longer you can sustain the enjoyment of a beautiful nude woman without reacting sexually, the more poingnant and powerful her beauty becomes. In fact, it's possible to get sort of 'drunk' on it, to experience a state of rare rapture, of tantric exctasy, a state even more enjoyable, physically and mentally, than sex. And it lasts much longer. You will feel enlightened, energized, inspired and free. In this way, beauty really is more powerful than sex. More...

Surrounded by beautiful nude women

We love the idea of having beautiful nude women around all the time. So we gave Chrіs Rυеggе a simple assignment: "Mаkе Klаυdіа look at home". We wondered, if you could actually have it, in real life, what would it look like? Who would these girls be? How would they feel about being nude all the time? Would you have to pay them? If so, how much? Would you have to be nude too? Or you could take another tack and simply befriend girls who like being nude and pretend you're gay? Maybe you could become a famous artist or photographer who needs nude models 24/7. Needless to say it's not going to be easy to surround yourself with beautiful nude women. But it's not impossible.

Bikini babes catfight over atheism as promo for new book

November 23, 2008 - Music producers have been using sexy women in videos to promote their product for years, so it's little wonder that the author of a new book has done the same.

Dallas lawyer Gеоff Hеnlеy has written a book called "Bеyоnd Rеаsоnаblе Doubt: A Lаwyеr's Cаsе for Disbelief in God", and to promote it, has created a two minute video featuring bikini-clad babes who end up catfighting over the subject of atheism. Set to Wаgnеr's Flіght of the Valkyries, the satrical video shows the women's poolside fight escalating to a full blown water battle.

"Too bad all atheist-debates aren't this entertaining" said one reviewer. "Not just theology, this is how all debates should be." said another.

We're just pleased to see someone using the power of female beauty to invite discussion on a serious subject. Check out the video here.

The acid test

Again, women are being attacked with acid. But for going to school is not the real reason they were attacked. Just as virgins were supposedly thrown into volcanos to appease gods, just as "witches" were burned at the stake supposedly for consorting with the devil, so young women are attacked with acid supposedly for educating themselves. It's all bull. Virgins, witches, students are all attacked for the same reason - because they are beautiful. Notice that it is beauty - physical beauty - that is destroyed by acid, or burning, or volcanos for that matter. Beauty, the common thread, the objective representation of values, is the target. People trying to maintain a hold over the masses with fear, mysticism, and irrational dogmas lash out at young women like viscious children unable to tolerate a higher authority than their whims. They know that intelligence only makes a woman like Maya, who is attending university in Russia, more beautiful. They just don't want us to know that they know. More...

Modern style - against the grain

Photos of nude women in the early days of photography have their own style. They are sepia, dark, very frank, with little theatrical touches. Later, when nightlife - and still later movies - became popular, photos of nude women were very active, flappers, topless swimwear, nude volleyball come to mind. In the 1950s and 60s the glamour of movie stars gave birth to glamour photography. The news hungry 90s made nude photos very editorial, very staid, very plain, black and white. But what is today's style? Natural, yes, realism, okay, but so are extreme angles and outrageous behaviour. Natural nudes and Sυіcіdе Gіrls are opposites, but both reactions to the previous norm. We left this set of Nikkala mostly unedited, dark, grainy, somewhat disjointed, Nikkala "on" for the camera and off, just Nikkala, extreme in natural beauty - the new modern style. More...

15 Afghani women attacked with acid for going to school

November 14, 2008 - A group of men on motorcycles squirted acid from water bottles onto three groups of female students and teachers walking to school in Kаndаhаr Wеdnеsdаy. Some escaped with only burns to their uniforms, but others will have permanently scarred faces, and one teenager remains hospitalized, unable to open her eyes.

One of the teachers reported being threatened by a man the day before, who said "Oh, you are putting on makeup and going to school. Okay, we will see you."

Three men have been arrested, but the school's 1500 girls have stopped attending.

What to teach your children about naked women

Body in Mind often talks about the feminists and religious fundamentalists who hate female beauty and beautiful women. But there's another kind of beauty-hater - perhaps the most dangerous of all: the over-protective parent. This decade has seen the rise of the mother who hides her little boy's eyes from women's magazine covers and the father who won't let his little angel bare her tummy. The problem is, by hiding it, these parents teach their children that female beauty - and sexuality - is a bad thing, and their children grow up believing it. Yet it's the idea that female beauty is bad that leads to atrocities like this week the case of a girl being r4pеd and the justice system responding not by punishing her attacker but by punishing her, by stoning her to death. Since they believe the beauty that attracted a r4pіst is fundamentally bad then of course they end up punishing her, or the example of supposed 'fans' who post every single photo set from a model's paysite on file-sharing forums effectively putting her out of business. Deep down they think she's immoral for using her beauty, so they don't mind hurting her terribly. Something to think about when you try to keep an honest open approach to female beauty away from your children. More than worrying about what it might teach them if they see it, you should be worried about what you teach them when you cover it up. More...

A Halloween treat

I drove through the golden afternoon light, through the rolling hills of what was probably the last little bit of undeveloped countryside in the whole area. As I drove over crunching gravel towards the small hand lettered sign that read simply "Brаnt Fаmіly Farm", the familiar produce stand came into view.

But something was odd. There were cars everywhere, lining both sides of the street, some haphazardly parked on a precarious angle alongside the ditch. Men milled about, or stood frozen, all of them gazing in one direction. Marina was at the produce stand, talking and laughing as she took money and helped customers pick out pumpkins.

Mυslіm Clеrіc Fаcеs Pоssіblе Crіmіnаl Chаrgеs for Marrying 12 Yеаr Old Cоntеst Wіnnеr

An Indоnеsіаn muslim cleric may face charges of illegal sex with a minor after marrying a 12 year girl chosen for him through a contest run by his first wife.The girl's parents said financial difficulties led them to marry her to the cleric, who also declared plans to marry a 7 year old girl and a 9 year old girl.

So...a teenager goofs around and takes some nude photos of herself, and she's a sex offender. A 43 year old man has sex with children and he 'may' face charges. Could the hatred of women who use their beauty be any more glaring?

Study claims men find women more attractive in winter

October 29, 2008 - A recent university study has found that men find women's bare bodies more attractive in winter.

Wrоclаw Unіvеrsіty of Poland conducted a study of 114 men, who were asked to rate photos of women at differing times of the year. Throughout a period covering 5 seasons, the men were shown photos of women in black bathing suits, bare breasts of different sizes and young women's faces.

Bodies and breasts were rated most attractive in autumn and winter, least in summer. There was no seasonal variation when it came to rating the faces, which the researchers believe is due to women's faces being on display all year long.

"Since in summer men are much more often exposed to more uncovered women's bodies than in winter, our prediction was that stimuli presented to men in summer will be assessed as less attractive than the same stimuli presented to the same men in winter" the researchers concluded.

We believe that anytime men are deprived of beauty they're going to long for it more than usual.

Something perfectly good and natural

This series of Britney by Mаx Asоlо is one of our favourites lately because it perfectly captures our view of what female beauty should be. In it Britney is presenting herself nude in such a straightforward way that she sanctions both nudity and beauty. She sanctions nudity by refusing to be ashamed of herself, and shows everyone that she knows she's inately valuable, that she feels no need to cover herself in clothing or embellish herself with make-up; and she sanctions beauty by refusing to be blatantly sexual, which says beauty alone is enough of a reason for a photo shoot, and that the sexual excitement of men is less important. Britney is so natural about it she is almost blase, except for the quiet happiness it brings her, and her awareness of the happiness it brings us. These photos tell us "Female beauty is not evil or shameful - it's just a really, really nice thing, something perfectly good and natural." More...

The "evil" eye

A mix of sexuality and morality creates the phenomenon we call female beauty. This formula extends even to the beauty of the face, and to the soul of the face, the eyes. If you look carefully you will see that all of the most beautiful supermodels have one "good" eye and one "bad" eye, that is, one eye fully open and the other slightly squinted. This puts the lie to the popular idea that symmetry is what makes a woman's face beautiful. What makes a woman's face beautiful is the mix of morality and sexuality represented, for example, by her two eyes. The "good" eye represents morality, the "bad", sexuality. If you don't believe me, try covering one side of almost any model's face, and then the other, and see if you don't agree that one side of their faces looks angelic, the other a little sly. You might see what I mean in this set of the incredibly beautiful Klaudia. But even if you don't, you have to admit her eyes are not symmetrical, yet she's perfectly beautiful. And now you know why.

Sex and morality, together?

Perhaps no single idea has done more harm to each one of us than the belief that sex is immoral. It isn't, but most believe it is. But why pursue sex to the fullest if it's immoral? Why be as moral as possible when it would mean missing out on sex? So most people pursue sex and their other values only half-heartedly, because they believe having them all is impossible. Others pursue only one or the other. Female beauty says otherwise. Nothing is more beautiful than a woman who is sexy and moral. Nіkkаlа Stоtt for example. By keeping her knickers on she is as sexy and as moral as a nude model could possibly be, or any woman for that matter. Wоυld Nіkkаlа be more ethical completely naked, or sexier fully clothed? If not Nikkala then who would? If sex really is immoral, why does it go so well with morality? And why would nature make beauty the result? Sex is not immoral. Nikkala - and nature - prove it.

A completely different idea of female beauty

Down through history female beauty has been seen as superficial and sleazy, with inner workings that are suspicious and sinister in nature. Beautiful women have paid the price for this view. They have been ridiculed and butchered, both by individual madmen and by entire civilizations. We have a different idea. We believe that female beauty is, in fact, a grand and glorious thing to which every one of us owes our lives (since none of us would be here if our fathers hadn't found our mothers attractive), and that beautiful women are often, but not always, among God's sweetest and noblest creatures, inspiring love, not violence, morality, not depravity, braving derision, condemnation and sometimes even death in order to share with us a simple, but priceless gift: their beauty.

Pure joy

Joy is the most wonderful thing in the world, and perhaps the rarest. How many times have you felt it? Once, twice? How do we make it happen more often? Female beauty holds the key. Look at Kylа Cоlе in this series by Mіchаеl Whіtе and you will see it. Joy is happiness without contradiction. It is a feeling of complete and utter exaltation, freedom, success, and personal importance. And since happiness is getting what you want, joy is getting everything you want without anything you don't. Not easy, but not impossible either. To do it you need to check your values. You have to make sure they don't contradict each other. Are you trying to build a sense of personal importance in yourself, or are you caving in to the popular call to sacrifice to others? Are you working for a concrete achievable goal in which success is possible, or is your idea of success some vague "a life well-lived" kind of thing? Are you free to pursue your dreams or have you burdened yourself with other "responsibilities". If you've never exalted yourself, how can you expect ever to achieve exaltation? Joy is possible. Check your values. Respect yourself. Admire beauty. And it will come. Just ask Kyla. More...

The right time for beauty

Beautiful women are like sunflowers. They blossom in the sun, and they reflect back more beauty than they get. October is the time when sunflowers blossom into full bloom and then start to droop with the weight of their thousands of seeds. October is also the time when a beautiful woman's tanned body is most radiant, when our hearts skip a beat at the increasingly rare sight of a woman's bare skin, and when their beauty begins to droop and disappear with the weight of long pants, bulky sweaters, and even coats. We love October, and we hate October. We love it for maximizing the beauty of a nude woman, and we hate it for being so fleeting. If you haven't gotten your lady naked in a patch of sunflowers or a cornfield yet, do it this weekend. Her beauty is at its ripest right now. More...

Bite me

The apple, symbol of ripeness and plenty, the rosy richness of life, health and vitality. The apple, also symbol of temptation, sin, and the ultimate fall from grace. But which is it? It can't be something good and bad. The law of identity says nothing can ever be itself and its opposite at the same time. It's impossible. The same is true of female beauty. Some people tell us it's evil and others that it's good. But which is it? At Bоdy in Mind, we believe that Nіkkаlа Stоtt in her prime is a ripe apple, delicious to the eyes, meant to be enjoyed like the sweetest fruit, and savoured as dearly as life itself. Whatever morality you attach to them, in the end, an apple is only an apple, and Nikkala is just Nikkala. If we find a perfect apple fallen from a tree, we eat it, it tastes good, it's nourishing, and we feel lucky for finding it. Nikkala nude is also a lucky find, and her beauty is a juicy apple that commands simply and happily, "bite me". More...

Virtual boob arrives for iPhone

October 1, 2008 - A Japanese blogger called Technohippy has introduced his new iPhone app called "paiTouch". Pai is short for 'oppai', the Japanese word for breast.

As the name implies, a rudimentary female profile appears on the screen which you can poke, prod, and otherwise manhandle all you want. There are even specs for nipple size, softness, and of course, overall size.

Construction workers complain about nude lady roller blader

September 30, 2008 - What's the world coming to?

Police in Portland, Oregon received a complaint from a group of construction workers about a woman roller blading nude. Gеnnіfеr Mоss, otherwise known as Eаrth Frіеnd Gen, likes to roller blade nude amongst tourists and locals in her home town, where public nudity is normally permitted.

But after the complaint, police told her she couldn't 'expose her genitalia'. She put on some panties and skated off.

Thankfully, a group of bystanders booed as she was confronted by police. Maybe there's some hope. Body in Mind is working towards a world where women can be as naked as they want to be, but we never thought we'd have to convince men.

Women are more beautiful than girls

We got an email from a guy this week who condemned Body in Mind for not featuring younger girls on our site, "ages 10-17", he said. After all, if Body in Mind is about female beauty first and foremost, he went on, then we should have the integrity to feature the beauty of young girls as well, shouldn't we? I told him that the beauty of women is so awesome a force in the universe that when compared to it, the beauty of girls approaches almost complete insignificance. If girls are beautiful at all it's only because they resemble women in some way. Fоr Bоdy in Mind to feature girls would be like a car racing website featuring roller skates. Beauty is the representation of values. To men, beautiful women represent a myriad of adult human values: sex, purpose, confidence, maturity, intelligence, success, wealth, etc. However, to men who refuse to grow up and don't want to pursue values, young girls are beautiful because they represent a world where growing up and pursuing values is not yet necessary. That's hardly something worth devoting a website to. More...

Why high heels suck

I must be the only man who hates high heels. I do. I think they're ridiculous. People will agree that attaching sticks, barbs, and all variety of torturous objects to runway models' bodies at an Alеxаndеr McQueen show is absurd. But say one bad thing about 7 inch spikes coming out of a lady's shoes and find yourself instantly alone. Everyone but me seems to love them. Some nonsense about making a woman's calves look nicer or something. Call me kooky but I think a woman's calf looks quite nice all by itself. Check out Ingrid's in this photoset and see if you agree. Yet how many other websites would have stuck some stupid high heels on her? I saw an attractive woman walking down the street today wearing Capri pants and simple flats on her feet. I looked for her over my shoulder long past rounding a corner and watching her pass out of sight. She was walking quickly, somewhere to go, something to do. I like that. I like a woman with a purpose, with a vision of her own. And that's why I don't like high heels. They stress appearance over substance, and I like a woman with substance. And if I like her enough to have sex with her, she'd usually take her shoes off anyway. - DBell More...

Mеgаn Fоx defends Vаnеssа Hυdgеns over nude photo apology

September 27, 2008 - Mеgаn Fоx, the sultry beauty who starred in Transformers, has lashed out at Disney for making one of it's young stars apologize over nude pictures of her leaked on the web.

Vаnеssа Hυdgеns, who starred in Dіsnеy's Hіgh Schооl Mυsіcаl, had nude photos of herself stolen and posted online. Disney made her issue an apologetic statement afterwards, which Fox hates.

"I would never issue an apology for my life and for who I am...You shouldn't have to apologize. Someone betrayed Vanessa but no one's angry at that person. She had to apologize. I hate Disney for making her do that."

So do we. Only beauty-haters make women apologize instead of those who sexually abuse them. Publishing nude photos without permission is no different than having sex without permission. Neither are the victim's fault. Kudos to Megan for seeing that, and speaking up.

Look closely at this picture...

September 24, 2008 - To make a point about our 'throw-away' consumer society, US photographer Chrіs Jоrdаn has created a series of photos in a series called "Running the Numbers", which aims to show 'the large-scale waste of consumerism in the US".

In this photo, Jordan assembled 32,000 Barbie dolls to look like a bust of, well, a bust. 32,000 is the number of American women who undergo breast enlargement surgery every month. The original photo is 5ft by 6 ft.

Jordan left corporate law to 'encourage people to take action by translating gigantic numbers into visual images.'

We're assuming Jordan doesn't want large numbers of people buying his art, then.

Lawyer loses license for accepting nude dancing as payment

September 21, 2008 - In this shaky economy, it's little wonder that people are starting to get creative with financial matters and bringing back the barter system. But in Illinois, at least, you'd better not try to barter legal services for nude dancing, as one lawyer recently found out.

Scоtt Rоbеrt Erwin of DeKalb met a dancer at a local nude bar, and discovered that he had actually spoken on the phone with her regarding legal matters. Since the dancer was having trouble affording the legal fees, she and Erwin "mutually agreed that she perform nude dances for him for him in his office as a way to cut down on the fees".

It all fell apart when the dancer alleged Erwin touched her. Even though a jury failed to indict him, the Illіnоіs Attоrnеy Registration and Dіscіplіnаry Cоmmіssіоn suspended Erwin from practicing law for 15 months.

If a barter arrangement between this lawyer and, say, a roofer, had resulted in a possible criminal charge, we're certain he wouldn't have lost his license.

Vive la difference

What is it that makes Nіkkаlа Stоtt so incredibly beautiful? A huge part of it is the fact that she is so supremely feminine - every single part of her is not only perfectly proportioned and marvellously formed, but formed in the way proper only to a woman. For example, her legs, or her back, or her neck, or her chin, or her elbows for that matter. Every part of her that can be different from a man's, is. This is what makes it possible for a man to ponder for several minutes the soft rounded orbs of her glorious derriere. Yes, they are perfectly smooth and nicely naked, but what is so wondrous - and mesmerizing to we men - is that it is so completely a woman's bum. Ultimately, it is the differences between our bodies that fascinate both men and women with each other, and Nikkala is about as far from a man, and as close to the perfect woman as you can get.

Female beauty is a wishing well

Female beauty has amazing powers, powers that we humans haven't even begun to understand. For example, did you know you can wish on it like a falling star or a deep well? And it will make all your dreams come true? This is because just like a mirror or a deep reflecting pool we see ourselves in a beautiful woman. We see how we could be - and should be - in order to have her love in our lives. Deep down our brains know that to have a beautiful woman in our lives we have to be and do great things. This is why young boys put photos of beautiful women on their walls. Instinctively they use female beauty like art, as inspiration for their dreams. They look and admire and they wish. And if they are listening to what female beauty promises they make themselves into great men who achieve their dreams, including the love an amazing woman. More...

Naked for a living

There is a huge difference between nude models who do it to pay for school, to attract - or gain their freedom from - a boyfriend, or to temporarily make a living, and those who do it as their profession. Girls who do it just for money never seem to do it very long, or very well. They might be stunningly gorgeous, but after a few short seasons of posing they disappear, usually to our dismay. It never clicks in their brains that posing nude might actually be a good thing, better than any one thing it might buy. But career models do click with it. At some point they realize that their beauty is the best thing that will ever happen to them and they go with it. Of course some girls have more brains than beauty and it's right they should do something else. But we are glad that in America and the UK at least, there are still beautiful women who pose nude for a living and believe it's a good thing. They will always have a special place on Body in Mind.

Kylа Cоlе: Thе Pаlm Tree - Part 2

In ancient Rome, the palm tree was a symbol of triumph and victory. Thе Chrіstіаns use it to symbolize victory over 'enemies of the soul', and in Judaism, the palm represents peace and plenty. Since the birth of human civilization itself, the palm tree has had a substantial effect on human life. The date palm provided food, shelter from the hot sun and driving desert winds, and nearly every part of the plant had some useful purpose. So how appropriate that BiM photographer Mіchаеl Whіtе chose to shoot renowned beauty Kylа Cоlе by a towering palm. She reminds us that beauty, too, is a symbol of triumph and victory, that it can defeat 'enemies of the soul', and that when life's gritty winds blow, there's no better shelter than the sight of a beautiful woman.

Beautiful sexuality

Beauty and sex are not the same thing. Beauty is the representation of values, while sex is the physical expression of romantic love. Yet many people - Americans especially - have a hard time separating the two, or for that matter, enjoying the two together. For example beauty contests do their very best to remove any 'sexual' overtones, justifying the swimsuit segment as a 'poise and fitness' test. Meanwhile, porn sites compete with each other over who how depraved they can be. (You never hear about porn sites claiming to be the nicest and most beautiful.) But beauty and sex are always better when mixed with each other. Porn is always better when the actors are beautiful, and beauty is always more appealing when there's a little romance hinted at. Thеrеfоrе Bоdy in Mind doesn't remove every single sexual overtone in our photos, or romantic overtone, or any element of beauty. We hope this gallery of new BiM model Ingrid captures the essence of beautiful sexuality. More...

Mayor in hot water for inviting 'beauty-disadvantaged' women to his town

August 21, 2008 - We've all heard the term 'third rail'. It refers to the third rail in the subway system, the one that carries the electricity and will zap you if you touch it. Therefore, a third rail is something you don't go near if you have any sense.

Seems beauty has become a third rail these days, at least for the hapless Mayor of Mt. Isa, Australia.

Last week, Mаyоr Jоhn Molony suggested that 'beauty-disadvantaged' women might want to consider moving to Mt. Isa, where the ratio of men to women is 5 to 1. He thought perhaps this might be a way for the non-beautiful to find meaningful relationships among men who were grateful for the presence of women.

Now everyone is up in arms. Women in Mt. Isa have demanded he resign, saying that he paints them as 'second rate'. Men there are angry at the implication that they will settle for ugly women.

Molony refused to speak at the 100 woman-strong protest rally, saying "No would listen to me. I think the women who turned up at that protest rally tonight are beauty disadvantaged themselves and they can't get over it so they attack me." he said.

Foundation helps victims of acid burning and immolation

August 16, 1008 - Five years ago, Mаsаrrаt Mіsbаh, a salon owner in Pakistan, was approached by a veiled woman begging for help. The woman was insistent, and flustered Misbah. When the woman removed her veil, Misbah 'felt faint'.

"I saw a girl who had no face".

The woman's husband had thrown acid on her. Misbah decided to help her, and put an ad in the local paper to see if other women needed help. She also got in touch with Smileagain, an Italian non-profit agency that provides medical services to burn victims. Now there are 240 registered victims on the Dеpіlеx Smіlеаgаіn help list, 83 of whom are in some stage of treatment.

Pictures and stories of women burned with kerosene or acid by crazed husbands or enraged relatives are heartbreaking. But what is heartwarming is how this organization is striving to return dignity and self-respect to these women through reconstructive surgery, skills training and emotional support.

Objectify

People who hate female beauty always chide beauty-lovers for 'objectifying women', when really it is they who treat beautiful women like objects with no right to choose their own careers. But did you know there is also a purely conceptual way to prove the insincerity of such beauty-haters? The secret is to objectify beauty, not women. DBell defines beauty as the representation of values, which means beauty is not just a physical quality of a woman, but is a physical quality that represents something else, some value or set of values. For example, if a woman is tall, curvy, and happy, we see beauty in her because these qualities represent confidence, sex, and success - desirable values. The human brain is hard-wired to see beauty in anything that represents values. Those who are against objectification of women should embrace a definition that separates a woman from her beauty instead of one that villifies her for it. But they don't. On the other hand, we were struck by the objective beauty of Ira in this set by Antоn Vоlkоv, and while much of the content on his site, avErotica.com is more sexual than we like, it doesn't stop us from enjoying the remarkable beauty of models like Ira. We hope you enjoy it too. More...

Mexican university bans mini-skirts for 'provoking sexual violence'

August 15, 2008 - A Mexican university has ordered women to stop wearing mini-skirts and 'provocative' clothing because it 'provokes violent attacks against women."

Hеctоr Ojеdа, rector of the Aυtоnоmоυs Unіvеrsіty of Sinaloa, has said that mini skirts are an invitation for attacks.

Thе Cаthоlіc Church believes that women's dress and conversations with men are responsible for the 1 in 4 Mexican women who suffer sexual violence. It advises:

"If you want to avoid sexual aggression...do not use provocative clothing...watch your glances...don't be alone with a man, even if you know him...don't permit spicy chats or jokes..."

In other words, all men are r4pіsts and it's your fault. Sounds like an Islamic state to us. So what's next...burqua and public executions?

Mіss Mаlаysіа pageant encourages 'killing off' contestants

August 10, 2008 - Organizers of the Mіss Mаlаysіа pageant have come up with a startling voting concept and ad campaign that encourages viewers to 'kill off' contestants, and even beauty itself.

This year's pageant involves an online voting system where visitors are encouraged to 'kill' the women they don't want to see proceed into the finals. So far twelve women out of 32 have been 'killed off'. The pageant winner will be the one with the most points from the judges and the fewest 'kill' points from the public.

The ad campaign is entitled "Kіll Bеаυty, Save the Children". A spokesman claims "The whole idea behind the beauty pageant is (that it's) not about beauty but about saving children. We want people to forget about beauty and concentrate on saving children because everyone on stage tonight is beautiful. Beauty is very subjective. We want to focus on something more concrete and meaningful."

White is right

White is the color of purity, innocence, cleanliness, wholesomeness, virtue. White is the color of heaven, of a welcoming smile, it's the endless possibilities of the blank page, and the empty canvas that gives paint colors their glow. White is not the color of a nude website. Porn sites are the dark side of man's excesses, the place to indulge our most depraved fantasies, hidden, furtive, and to be forgotten in the light of day. Black is the color for such sites. Right? Well it seems Body in Mind didn't get that memo. 11 years ago all porn sites were black with cheesy starbursts in strategic spots and warnings about naked women. But we don't believe beauty and virtue are depraved or deserve to be hidden. So we made our site white, and we never covered what God had made. Now most major nude websites do the same. It took them years to realize what we've always known, that female beauty is a god-like quality, and that the men who uphold its value are heroes. And everyone knows white is the color of gods and heroes. It's to this wonderful color and all it represents that we devote this series of 4 photo sets of Nіkkаlа Stоtt shot appropriately, by Mіchаеl Whіtе. More...

Italian prime minister covers up topless painting

August 6, 2008 - At one time, Italy was known for, among other things, it's unabashed adoration of the female form. Italian television often featured scantily clad women, and the government has boasted at least one former porn star among its ranks.

But recently, the prime minister of Italy has decided to cover up a painting of a bare breasted woman (a detail from Tiepolo's "Tіmе Uncоvеrіng Truth) that graces his office.

"It was an initiative by those on the presidential staff who look after (the prime minister's) image." A spokesperson said. "That breast, that nipple...it ends up exactly inside the frame captured by TV news stations at press conferences."

This is not the first time a politician has covered up the female form in a work of art. Jоhn Ashcrоft did it in 2002, choosing to cover up Justice, ironically enough.

Dressed or undressed?

What does it really mean to be properly dressed? Usually people use that term to mean that our jiggly bits are not visible, that we have covered them in clothing. But what if we could do this without clothes? Or more still, what if we could keep our jiggly bits from sexually arousing or disgusting those who can see us? We've often seen elegant women dressed to the nines on red carpets half naked, some even revealing their breasts or pubic triangle. And no one freaks out. In fact over the years many top fashion designers have designed clothes that are meant to reveal. So then, maybe a better definition of clothing and being dressed in general is that they are meant to show other people how we wish to be regarded. If we want to be seen as classy, we dress a certain way, if we want to be sexy, another. Expert dressers can pull off both at once. We thought Linda dressed only in light and shadow might give you food for thought on this subject. Even thought she's completely nude, we think she's also perfectly dressed. More...

Is it safe to sit on the fence?

Sitting on the fence is the safe thing to do. That's the general concensus. If you don't stick your neck out you won't get in trouble, and both sides of an issue will leave you alone. But is it really safe to leave battles over things that matter to you to other people? What if your side loses? Is it really safe to risk losing something important? And what is it you're then safe from? Winning? One battle where almost everyone sits on the fence is the issue of nudity, specifically, female nudity. Clothes themselves are a type of fence, a barrier, a truce in the ancient and ongoing struggle between full freedom and full submission to others. Fashions and degrees of acceptable nudity vary from person to person, culture to culture, and from era to era. Certain celebrities can be naked in the media, while women in some religious cultures can be executed for showing an ankle. Body in Mind believes female beauty like Tanzi's is there to sway us all off the fence, to inspire us all to take sides and to fight for what we believe in and care about. The people who hate female beauty have made their position quite clear. Have you? Get off the fence and take a stand. It's the only safe thing to do. More...

July 29, 2008 - Sony has unveiled a new video game called 'Fаt Prіncеss', a type of 'capture-the-flag' game in which the object is to lock up a once-thin princess in a dungeon and feed her cake until her weight balloons. The bigger she gets, the harder it is for your enemies to carry her off.

Feminists are outraged by this. One in particular facetiously said she's 'thrilled to see such unyielding dedication to creating a new generation of fat-hating heteronormative assholes'.

It seems feminists are never happy. If a video game features a svelte, busty young heroine, the feminists blast it. If the game features a plump princess - whom you are supposed to make even fatter as part of the game - they blast it. In this case, they are failing to register that the game's 'fat princess' is the highest value, something considered desirable and worth protecting, even as her weight increases. You would think this kind of thing would make them happy, implying as it does that a woman can still be valuable even with some extra pounds.

There's no 'fat-hating' going on here, or women-hating - just the opposite. And as for 'heteronormative' - meaning the idea that heterosexuality is the norm - frankly, it is. Feminists make it clear that any romantic depiction of a male loving a female makes men into 'assholes'.

Makes you wonder what the world would look like if they really were in charge, doesn't it?

Nivea ads latest to 'redefine' beauty

July 27, 2008 - Seeing the proverbial bandwagon of 'redefining beauty' that Dove recently made famous, Nivea has now jumped on.

Take for instance, this ad. They're trying to imply that the vague and egalitarian "sparkle" is what makes the girl in this ad beautiful. Now, it's more than possible that a person with 'sparkle' is indeed more attractive than someone without it, but let's be realistic.

Beauty, in this case, is a fine nose, deep, dark eyes, high cheekbones, a strong chin, full lips, great hair, subtle makeup and, finally, a cool expression. In other words, all the reasons this woman was hired for this campaign, and the reason this particular photo was chosen among the hundreds that were taken that day.The 'sparkle' is definitely there, but this woman would still be beautiful without it. And the woman behind her, arguably just as 'sparkly', would not be.

Nivea is trying gamely to cash in on the wild success of the Dоvе Cаmpаіgn for Rеаl Bеаυty by moving away from their history as a skin care company and wading into the murky waters of women obsessing about their looks. It's quite a stretch in some cases.

"For our deodorants, the line is "Beauty is freedom", because when you get rid of body odor, you become confident and free." a spokeswoman says.

What it's really like at a nude photo shoot

July 26, 2008 - Ever wonder what it must really be like to take part in a nude photo shoot, as either photographer or model? We see the finished product, the culmination of hours of careful planning and hard work, and if the photographer has done his or her job, it ends up looking effortless. But it is anything but effortless. It takes mental clarity and focus to pull of a seemingly casual photoshoot.

Here's a brief description of the experience, from both sides of the lens, from an article in Esquire.

Intellectual property wrongs

Information is free. Or at least it should be. That's what we're told. The world wide web is a triumph for the democracy of information. Right? Wrong. The concept that everyone should have equal access to all data in the world is a very popular lie perpetrated by people who want everything to be free, so that they can sell it, a lie that appeals to consumers who want things for free, meant to take intellectual property away from its owners, declaring that freedom of information is a victory for the 'little guy' in the fight against greedy corporate giants. In fact, the truth is quite different. Most popular nude websites like Body in Mind regularly have all of their content stolen by file "sharers" and credit card defrauders who make money by posting these photos on myriad free image hosts like ImageVenue.com and Rapidshare.com. These image hosting companies then make lots of money from these stolen images either by charging a fee to the public to download them or by posting ads beside them for corporate giants like VISA, Amеrіcаn Exprеss, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble, etc. The failure of the governments of the world to protect and uphold copyrights helps everyone make money off creative works, except the creators. Just as environmentalists want to destroy property rights so they can do what they want with land, so globalists want to destroy intellectual property rights so they and corporate giants can make money from someone else's creation.

Nigerian bill to outlaw female public nudity resoundingly criticized

July 19, 2008 - A female senator from Nigeria who has sponsored a bill to prohibit public nudity in her country has faced fierce opposition from women's groups there, and most recently, at a meeting of the UN Gеnеrаl Assеmbly.

Sеnаtоr Ekаеttе has proposed outlawing nudity to the point of sentencing women who show their belly buttons, breasts or wear mini skirts in public to three months in prison. But she was soundly criticized by everyone from women's groups to civil rights groups to the senate president. Most expressed concern that rather than preventing harrasment, such a law would lead to further harassment of women by police and other authorities who had the power to interpret and enforce the law.

Then, at a UN meeting about the status of women in Nigeria, Glеndа Sіms of Jamaica challenged the proposed law further.

"Would the police go around with a tape measure to check the length of clothes or see if a breast was exposed?" She asked. "Women have a right to aesthetics of their bodies and the right to present themselves any way they want. A woman's body is the only piece of real estate on which she owes no mortgage. Dress codes are about power and dressing a woman from head to toe is a form of r4pе."

The committee was more concerned about Nigeria improving it's record on domestic violence, maternal mortality, female genital mutilation and women being punished as adulterers for being r4pеd.

Inner beauty versus outer beauty

Many people claim that when it comes to human females, unlike everything else in the universe, beauty is actually on the inside. But by praising "inner beauty" they are actually attempting to downplay and belittle "outer" beauty. This is why they never tell us exactly what character traits actually create this "inner beauty". But in reality, "inner beauty" is responsible for making a woman beautiful - not figuratively, but literally. "Outer" beauty is actually the result of the physical appearance of certain "inner" character traits which a woman possesses or else appears to possess, including purpose, self-esteem, intelligence, innocence, happiness, benevolence, selfishness, etc. If a woman like Vika appears to possess these things then she becomes beautiful.

Arch angel

Angels. From the little cherubs with rosy cheeks to Satan himself...angels come in all shapes and sizes. An invention of early religious scholars, angels were originally male. Satan was one of the orginal angels, an archangel in fact, like Michael and Gabriel. It's only after millenia that artists began to invent the female version. Such a creature is never mentioned in the Bible or the Koran. Yet beautiful women as angels satisfy a real need in us, the need to find a perfect woman, a woman who will rescue us from depravity and suffering with her virtue and beauty. We often see photos of beautiful nude women wearing wings. The wings are an awkward attempt to represent virtue, which is pretty hard to depict in a photo, but we think a woman like Linda shows it quite well, not only in her pride in herself, but in her happiness, her confidence, and her courage. So we left the wings off, because even without them Linda is still 100% angel - an arch angel. More...

Teacher suspended over nude photo will sue government

July 15, 2008 - Do you think a primary school teacher should be suspended over this photo? An Aυstrаlіаn schoolboard does, but surprisingly, hundreds of parents in the district don't. They've even signed a petition demanding the teacher be reinstated.

24 year old Lynnе Tzіоlаs was suspended after appearing in this photo with her husband in Cleo magazine. Parents of her students lodged a formal complaint with the Nаrrаwееnа Pυblіc School, claiming her suspension has disadvantaged students.

The decision was overturned, but Tziolas is suing the government for refusing to place her back in her old position, assigning her to a school more than an hour away from her home, and placing her in a special needs classroom, for which she has no training.

Chilean subway stripper arrested

July 13, 2008 - It took several armed men to arrest Mоnsеrrаt Mоrіllеs of Sаntіаgо Chіlе. News stories show her anguished face among a sea of olive green police uniforms being bundled off into the back of a police van. Her crime? Dancing on the subway.

Morilles, 26, spent the last week pole dancing on the subway trains of Santiago to 'challenge the prudishness of Chilean society". She would enter the trains at one stop, strip down to her skimpy underwear during a pole dance, and disembark at the next stop to avoid arrest. The media dubbed her "Lа Dіоsа del Metro" (Goddess of the subway), and she called her performances "happy minutes".

So of course it had to be stopped. Chile is known as one of Sоυth Amеrіcа's most conservative societies, and is barely a generation away from the rule of the notorious dictator Pinochet.

"This is just a beginning." Morilles said as she was led away. "We are starting an idea here that will grow and be developed further."

Thanks to Youtube, at least we can still her doing her part for beauty.

Kylа Cоlе versus 70 virgins in heaven

Saudi cleric Omаr Al-Sweilem recently described the beauty of the virgins who supposedly await any suicide bomber in heaven: "...when she comes to you so tall and with her beautiful face, her black hair and white face - praised be He who created night and day. What hair! What a chest! What a mouth! What cheeks! What a figure! What breasts! What thighs! What legs! What whiteness! What softness!" He told us that if you entered one of the palaces, you would find ten black-eyed virgins sprawled on musk cushions. "When they see you, they will get up and run to you. When they get hold of you, Jamal! Allаh Akbаr!...one of them would place her mouth on yours. Do whatever you want. Another one would press her cheek against yours, yet another would press her chest against yours, and the others would await their turn. There is no god but Allah." Okay, let's see if we have this straight: admiring beautiful women is evil on earth, but kinky sex with strangers is perfectly okeydokey in heaven? You know, we'll just take the earthly beauty of the one and only Kylа Cоlе any day. You can't replace beauty with sex, or quality with quantity, or real life with thin air, or virtue with hypocrisy. And with beauty like Kyla's around, why would anyone want to? More...

Eternal lover

As beautiful as a field of lush crimson poppies looks, it might seem like an odd place in which to photograph a beautiful woman. Poppies, after all, are a symbol of sleep because of the opium derived from them, and death because of their lurid blood red hue. A whole field of poppies evokes the image of a drowsy, dreamy, eternal sleep, not the sort of place to find the vibrant, engaging delight for the senses that is a beautiful woman. Yet we think this set by new BiM photographer Iυrіі Gаlmоυr shows the beauty of Ingrid to perfection. After all, the Persians call the poppy 'the eternal lover' flower, and see it as a symbol of love - and what's not to love about Ingrid? More...

Bush's stimulus package helps porn sites

July 6, 2008 - It's little wonder that a story featuring the words 'bush', 'package' and 'stimulus' would end up being about porn.

Back in January, Prеsіdеnt Bυsh announced an economic stimulus package designed to encourage 'higher consumer spending". In recent weeks Americans started receiving their $600 stimulus checks - and promptly started spending most of it on porn.

A market research firm reported that many adult websites reported a 20 to 30% increase in memberships since mid-May, and that 32% of survey respondents said the recent stimulus package formed part of their decision to either become a new member or renew an existing membership.

"Getting more people to buy porn was probably the last thing Bush had on his mind when he came up with his stimulus package, but we'll take it. " a spokesman said.

His "sexy furniture" - everything from long legs in high heels that hold your office supplies, to a cabinet on heels with an inlay of a female profile - mixes form and function in a unique and charming way. He designs his works in life size drawings and then assembles the sculpture from pre-cut layers of wood.

Beauty in quotes

July 2, 2008 - Throughout the ages, philosophers and poets have opined about beauty and what it means. Here are some of our favorite quotes on our favorite subject:

"Beauty is nothing other than the promise of happiness" - Stendhal, "On Lоvе"

"Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful" - Emerson, "Thе Cоndυct of Life"

"Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive." - Nіkоs Kаzаntzаkіs

"Nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world" - Amоs Lее

"Beauty is the evidence of why we are here." Adrian D Canfield.

"Anyone who preserves the ability to recognize beauty will never get old." - Frаnz Kаfkа

"That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful" - Ninon de l'Enclos

"In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty" - Chrіstоphеr Mоrlеy

"The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone" - Goethe

"Beauty...when you look into a woman's eyes and see what is in her heart" - Nаtе Dіrcks

"The true beauty of a woman is her inherent ability to make better a man in every way" - Dоn Wіllіаms Jr.

We love that all these quotes fit in nicely with D.Bell's theory that beauty is the representation of values. Can you see why?

Breath takers

It goes without saying that BiM photographer Mіchаеl Whіtе is one of our favourites. His photos of page 3 models such as Nіkkаlа Stоtt, Mіchеllе Mаrsh, and Pеtа Tоdd are already classics, if we do say so ourselves. So we're thrilled to introduce our readers to Michael's new site, Breath-Takers.com. Created with close collaborator, Nuke, Breath-Takers.com is exactly what it sounds like, a nude site dedicated to bringing its viewers all those moments when the sheer beauty of a woman takes our breath away. From soft sex-kittens in knitted sweaters to hard-edge vamps in fishnet and leather, no nuance of beauty is missed. And more than that, no site we've ever seen is better at capturing the way a nude glamour shoot really feels as it's happening. Look through 3 or 4 sets in the members area and you feel like you're one of the crew. Look through more, and you start to feel like you're one of the model's best friends, privileged to have your breath taken away. Beauty does that. Breath-Takers.com does it too. More...

Beauty and the law of cause and effect

One of the amazing things about beauty - true beauty - is that you can put it in the ugliest places and it still shines - like a diamond in a coal mine. In fact, real beauty can make everything nicer. For example, Carmen in this old warehouse makes it look pretty good. The dusty greens and drab grays look really good against her pink skin and strawberry blonde hair. This is why we see so many beautiful women in advertising. They make things look good. There wouldn't be any advertising - no billboards, no magazines, no tv commercials - if there were no beautiful women to make it work in the first place. See here. To suggest - as many people do these days - that uglier women should be used is a logical contradiction. Beauty causes advertising, not the other way around. You can try to replace beauty with ugliness, but just as stealing wealth won't make you a good businessman, or hitting someone with a club won't make you right, removing beauty won't make things better. Only adding it will. More...

British museum receives complaints about nude mummies

June 26, 2008 - File this one under 'You've got to be kidding...'

Thе Mаnchеstеr Museum in England houses Britain's largest collection of Egyptian artifacts. But following complaints from visitors about the mummies being displayed "naked", the museum is going to keep the mummies covered until they can figure out how best to display them.

Egyptologists decried the move as a 'step backward' for an educational institution. It certainly is, but we think it's a far more telling sign of how hysterical the world is becoming about nudity. When a waxy 3000 year old remnant of a person can be deemed immodest, things have definitely gotten out of hand.

Erotic actresses from both countries took place in a 5-a-side topless beach soccer match on a Danube river island in downtown Vienna last week. The ladies wore only thongs and painted-on shirts in their national colors.

The verdict? Austria beat Germany 10-5. "They might have to work on their technique a bit, but it was definitely a rather pleasant game to watch." said a spectator.

What's the connection between beauty and a free market?

June 23, 2008 - Ever wondered why there seemed to be an explosion of stunningly beautiful women from the former Sоvіеt Unіоn during the early nineties?

In this article, Annе Applеbаυm poses the interesting hypothesis that beauty only thrived once communism died. Before the liberating forces of capitalism, there were no fashion magazines, no tv shows dependent on beautiful stars, no cosmetics or haute couture and no rich men to dress up for. On top of that, unusual beauty, like unusual genius, was considered "highly suspicious" in the former U.S.S.R.

Yet another reason to defend capitalism. As Applеbаυm says, "...cheer up next time you see a Siberian blonde dominating male attention at the far end of the table: The same mechanisms that brought her to your dinner party might one day bring you the Ukrainian doctor who cures your cancer or the Polish stockbroker who makes your fortune."

Beauty can save the world, really

We at Body in Mind are always telling people that beauty can save the world. And we mean it. But rarely does a beauty come along who perfectly illustrates our point. How does it work? Simple. If you're a young man, and you're healthy and possess a normal sex drive, you will find Klaudia very beautiful, and you will begin to fantasize about her. If you have a mind you will fantasize not only about sex with her, but about having her as a girlfriend, about her falling in love with you and so on. And if you're a moral man, you will know that to make this happen you will have to earn it, you will have to impress her as much as she's impressed you. And to do that, you will have to do something great. That is how beauty will save the world. It makes intelligent, moral men great. Start saving yourself, and the world, today, at Body in Mind.

Oregon woman plans to parade topless on 4th of July

June 22, 2008 - Jеn Mоss, a.k.a "Thе Nаkеd Lady" of Ashland, Oregon, is going to march topless in the town's annual 4th of July parade. And if she's prevented from doing so, she'll sue.

Moss left her hometown of Ojai, California and came to Ashland because the town only prohibits exposing the genitals, effectively allowing toplessness. She celebrates this by habitually riding her bike around town without a top. But when she signed up to march in the parade, she was told it was 'inappropriate for a family event' and wouldn't be allowed to participate.

She plans to contact the ACLU about a law suit if she is prevented from joining the parade.

Nude at the office - collectors' edition

It's hard to believe it's been 3 years since Body in Mind first brought you our ground-breaking photos of Nіkkаlа Stоtt nude at work. Not a cheesy sexy secretary thing. We've all seen that done to death. Our idea was different. Imagine a world where a beautiful woman can feel free to be as nude as she likes, and what better way than to show Nіkkаlа Stоtt nude at work without any adverse reactions or consequences. In fact, this idea inspired a whole day-in-the-life series where Nikkala integrated the beauty of her nude body into as many real life situations as possible. We love that idea and we thought Nikkala fans would love to see the photos we didn't use in the first edit of this set. It's a collector's must have, as is the entire day-in-the-life series. As, of course, is anything Nikkala does. More...

The beauty of spring

Spring is amazing. It's the time when all living things start to invest all their effort in being beautiful. Everything is coming back to life, growing, filling with color, reaching for the sun, blossoming, giving birth, filling the earth and skies, and changing the planet for the better. It's the time when the earth re-affirms the importance of physical beauty. Animals and plants use the power of beauty automatically. But we humans can't. We lost this ability when we gained the power of volition. But we gained the ability to choose our values. We became capable of choosing the wrong values, but also of choosing to build on the right ones, something animals and plants can't do. So this spring we at Body in Mind remind everyone to choose beauty, and to build on its life-giving, life-building, and life-affirming qualities. Purposely surround yourself with it and let it inspire you like fresh spring air. Put up your favourite photos from Body in Mind everywhere, like leaves on a tree, and do it with the knowledge that nature wants you to, and for good reason: to be and feel alive! More...

Nіkkаlа Stоtt fully nude

The most common question we are asked at Body in Mind is when is Nіkkаlа Stоtt going to get completely naked. The answer is, when she's good and ready. The tone of the people who ask this question if often very rude, very accusing and very impatient, as if Nikkala is teasing them too much, or as if Body in Mind is not giving them what they've paid for. We've actually refunded memberships to a few guys who were downright hostile about it, as if they deserved to see Nikkala naked just because they managed to come up with 10 bucks for a membership. What everyone needs to remember is that Nikkala is one of the most beautiful women to ever exist, and that we are all incredibly lucky to lay eyes on her even fully clothed, let alone half naked. And if we ever get to see absolutely everything God gave her, it will be as if we've died and gone to heaven. But just like on earth, there's a LOT to enjoy before that happens. More...

Selling beauty

Did you know that star BiM models Nadya and Britney are actually Ukranian sisters? It's very difficult for photographers to find beautiful women to pose nude anywhere else in the world. In the late 80s and early 90s even the world's most famous models and actresses had no problem appearing fully nude. Cіndy Crаwfоrd, Madonna, Shаrоn Stоnе, all made more money than any woman ever before simply by using their beauty, in fashion, music, and movies. But since then, the success of beautiful women has been misrepresented as the opposite, as degradation and exploitation. But women like Cindy, Madonna, Sharon, Nadya and Britney are anything but victims. They are powerful women using their beauty to get what they want. And unless we want also to lose all our eastern European nude models to the modern tide of political "correctness", it's time we learned that selling beauty is a good thing. More...

Can YOU perceive beauty?

One of the startling predictions made by D.Bell's theory of female beauty is the existence of people who lack the capacity to perceive any beauty at all. The beauty blind. We all like to think we have great taste and can appreciate great beauty, but how do we then explain the ugliness of our cities? How do you explain so much repetition in all areas of aesthetics, from the identical front lawns of suburban homes to the endless stream of nude images we find online. Do we all share the same taste, or do we copy others precisely because we can't perceive beauty for ourselves? D.Bell says the latter. Because we lack instinct to tell us what is good or bad for us, we must choose our values for ourselves and we need a way to continue to be attracted to them even when we're tired or forgetful. This is provided by our faculty of beauty. Beauty is the representation of our values. Invariably, we find beautiful anything that possesses or reminds us of our values. Therefore, those who fail to choose their values, simply copying the actions of others, are rendered incapable of perceiving beauty. This is why there's so much ugliness in the world. There's only as much beauty as people who choose their values. More...

Frоm Rυssіа with Love

Alexander loves female beauty and takes brilliant nude photos of the loveliest ladies he can find. But because there's no such thing as property rights in his land, his photos are soon taken and distributed to anyone interested in them. Alexander is not paid. And he has no money to give to his models. We like to think things are different here, but there is actually no country on earth that offers protection for property rights - let alone intellectual property rights - in their constitutions. Not even the USA. This is why the Dіgіtаl Mіllеnіυm Cоpyrіght Act allows websites to let their users publish stolen work. The result is hundreds of thousands of MP3s, movie videos and even Body in Mind photo sets being stolen and illegally 'shared' around the internet every day.

The pillar that is female beauty

The sheer numbers of nude images of beautiful women on the web today is incredible. Many people would say the fascination men have with naked women is a sign of decaying moral values, and that prefering an image of a beautiful woman over a loving sexual relationship with a real woman is just plain sad. But the fact is, female beauty represents one's values - whatever we find beautiful we do so because we want it in real life. So a man might adore Maya's photos because he wants in real life what she seems to possess, be it beauty, confidence, power, or lifestyle. His moral failure to pursue these things in real life and in a real woman is his fault. Female beauty tells him to act; society tells him not to trust it, so he limits himself to impotent fantasies. Therefore it's those who deny the moral importance of female beauty that cause modern moral decay, and there are more of them, certainly, than photos of nude women. More...

Woman is the decoration of the world

Beauty is not the same thing as decoration. Decoration is something you put on things that by themselves are not beautiful. For example a cake, or a dance hall. A beautiful woman, therefore, should never be decorated - no jewellery, no nail paint, no tattoos. This is because beautiful women are the decoration of the world, and as soon as you decorate them, our attention is drawn away from the aesthetic harmony between woman and the world and is focused on her bracelets, or her lingerie, or anything else used to decorate her. But when a woman like Deirdre is stripped of all decoration, then we see her true beauty, without distraction, and a barren spring morning becomes beautiful. More...

The nude cube

These days, female beauty is a science. This age old mystery has at last been reduced by cash starved, publicity hungry modern university psychology and anthropology departments to something we can now easily understand, measure, quantify, perform comparative analysis on, and dismiss. If a woman is considered beautiful at all - a word which now has an almost superstitious stink to it - we know it is nothing but a genetic bias towards reproduction based on averaged facial measurements. The female body is nothing but a jumble of cubes, spheres, and other known and documented aesthetically pleasing shapes. Uh, yeah. And if you believe all that, then this nude gallery of Linda's beautiful form won't hold any fascination for you at all. More...

Crіmsоn Qυееn

We always liked those old etchings depicting the legendary Queen of Sheba, fully nude and adorned with only a few feathers and precious jewels, holding public court and receiving foreign dignitaries and sundry homage makers. The way she held her head high with pride, not only in her kingdom but in herself. Not a trace of shame in her own nudity, nor in her power to seduce her world. Sadly, today, being a queen in the ancient world seems the only way ANY woman can ever achieve full ownership and possession of her own body and her own beauty. Well that, and of course a photo session with Chrіs Rυеggе. ;-) More...

Good things happen with Nіkkаlа Stоtt

On a grey day, when everything is dark and gloomy and storms are loomimg, there's nothing more comforting and cozy than a big old sweater. The familiar, safe, and reliable feelings we get from the things we love make everything okay. This is the same feeling we get from female beauty, and for the same reason. Female beauty reminds us that we human beings can be like gods and goddesses should we choose to fulfil our true potential. It reminds us that success and happiness are possible, and that is a very reassuring feeling. Unfortunately, the storms of life leave many of us torn and battered, but like an old sweater that never lets us down, the rare and comfortingly real beauty of Nіkkаlа Stоtt is always there to remind us that good things happen too.

Hospital refuses money from sale of Cаrlа Brυnі photo

April 14, 2008 - What's more important - helping care for sick children, or keeping the tradition of hating female beauty alive? Apparently a hospital in Cambodia thinks it's the latter.

Recently, this nude photo of former model Cаrlа Brυnі - who is now married to the president of France - was sold at auction for $91 000. The money was offered to Kаnthа Bоphа Chіldrеn's Hоspіtаl Association in Cambodia, but the doctor who runs the hospital turned it down.

"Accepting money obtained from exploitation of the female body would be perceived as an insult" Dr. Bеаt Rіchnеr said. "The idea behind this gift was to get publicity for the auction and the photographer. It was a way of using us."

The photographer, Mіchеl Cоmtе, has only agreed to sell the one image of her, and asked that proceeds be given to charity. The money will instead go to a Swiss charity working on clean drinking water solutions.

Beauty harmony

Can a nude photo of a buxom and curvy woman be art? Of course. One of the classical elements of design is color harmony. For example, in this series of Peach we see a lovely harmony between her yellow hair, the gold cushions, and the magenta silk sheets. This is a perfect choice of colors for nude photography because yellow and magenta are also the colours that blend into the color of a nude woman's skin. Together they are lively happy colors, which also perfectly suit Peach's personality. So again we have an element of art - a theme - each element of the photo matching and supporting the others. And lastly there's the harmony of a nude woman being presented with as much care as possible, which harmonizes with our optimistic vision of how female beauty should be treated. Not only is there color, composition, a subject and theme, but there is also a 'message'. If not art, then what else is it? More...

The middle of nowhere

One of the great things about beauty is that you can find it in the most unexpected places. For example, who knew that the Hubble space telescope would look farther into the heavens than anyone even had and see such lovely arrangements of gaseous nebulae? Or at the other end of the scale, that sub-atomic particles violently disintegrating into quarks would do so with the grace and elegance of figure skaters? It's the same with female beauty. The fashion world is full of great beauties who were discovered in small towns all around the world, many from countries that haven't even heard of women's fashion. And then there's the Ukraine. Famous for...well...nothing. Yet, this country produces the most beautiful nude models in the world. Our very own Britney is proof of that. The middle of nowhere? No such thing when it comes to beauty. Beauty, it seems, is everywhere. More...

Help stop the Cаnаdіаn Sеаl Hunt, in honor of Annа Nіcоlе

March 31, 2008 - Back in April 2005, Annа Nіcоlе Smith called on Prіmе Mіnіstеr Pаυl Mаrtіn to "stop the bloody seal slaughter", and asked her fans to do so as well.

PETA posted her message on their website: "The fur industry says that it is killing more seals because of an increase in demand for fur - all fur. Anyone who buys a mink or a fox fur coat or a jacket trimmed in fur bears the responsibility for creating an environment of demand for the furs of these baby seals - who are often skinned while they are still conscious. Please, join me in getting active to stop the bloody seal kill."

PETA has posted a renewed effort to stop the seal hunt, in Annа Nіcоlе's memory. Please check it out.

The new Body in Mind book: Sυpеr Bеаυtіеs

Body in Mind is pleased to announce the imminent release of our very first book. We can't tell you too much just yet, but we can tell you it's called "Sυpеr Bеаυtіеs". Keep an eye on our site for the announcement of its release. We thought we'd use this promo gallery of Britney to let you know since she is featured in the book, along with most of your other favourite Body in Mind models. As the creator of Body in Mind says, you won't find a bigger collection of super beauty in one place anywhere. We were sad to see the supermodels go out of style. So we kept looking for the same kind of super beauties to feature on our site. And we've never stopped. If you loved the super models and miss their kind of beauty, you're going to want this book. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, enjoy the super beauty of Britney in full bloom. More...

The men's club

Men have been called 'dogs' and 'perverts' and 'pigs' for generations, all because they get excited about beautiful women. But men aren't animals. In fact, their sexual reactions to beautiful women tend to be typically human and surprisingly sophisticated. For example, in hundreds of years of fine art painting and sculpting you'd be hard pressed to find any degrading depictions of women by men. A more modern example is the gentleman's club, a place where successful, rich men go to enjoy the finer things in life, including beautiful nude female hostesses. In the same way men have created the Fоlіеs Bеrgеrе, nude house-cleaning, and sexy golf-caddy services - all attempts to fit female beauty into resepctable parts of life. Of course, Body in Mind is also an example. More...

Klaudia opens her door

As boys we men all would like to have seen the nude women we knew were on the other side of the door. Perhaps it was in the girls' shower in gym class, or your older sister's teen slumber party. But peeking through keyholes or frustrated curiosities are not what Body in Mind is about. We prefer to be grown up about it, and simply to ask a gorgeous lady like Klaudia to come out from behind her door and let us enjoy the sight of her completely nude. Happily, we find lots of amazing women like her who enjoy showing off and being admired, who show us we never had to feel guilty or hopeless, and how great it is to be all grown up now. In fact, beauties like Klaudia make adulthood way more fun than being a kid ever was. More...

The edge of beauty

We like nude female beauty because it's on the edge, the edge of propriety, the edge of aesthetics, the edge of history, the edge of civilization itself. It's the extreme beauty of some women that have made nudity so acceptable in the modern world, and made women freer than they've ever been. Yet the mainstream now considers art to be art only up to the point where the beautiful woman takes her clothes off, and female beauty is often seen as a threat to women. We hate the mainstream. The edge is where everything truly free, alive and exciting happens. Alena knows it. In this set she magically transforms a simple camping trip, a canoe, a wooden dock, a simple riverbank in sunset into something wildly edgy and profoundly beautiful. More...

Nude in real life

There are an infinite number of places to photograph a nude woman. So why do we so often see them on furniture such as chairs, couches, tables etc etc? We think it's because deep down as men we always want beautiful naked women in our lives, in our daily lives, in our real lives, not just on paper or on a computer screen. We like to see them photographed in homes, in cars, and in swimming pools for the same reason. It makes us feel more like we've achieved our dream: nude female beauty happily integrated into our lives. Do YOU have a chair or couch perfect for a nude woman to sit on? If not, maybe you should. We are quite happy to help you get a little closer to your own personal dream with our latest series of Linda by Chrіs Rυеggе. More...

Cave women

Women in caves. Something about them. From prehistoric neanderthals to Freud and his train tunnels, women keep getting paired in our imaginations and our mythologies with caves. We're not sure why nude women don't appear more in early cave paintings. That's what we would have drawn. Happily, we have the modern art of digital photography to capture the beauties that haunt our imaginations, like Deirdre. The female body is an elemental force, no doubt about that. Men in every age knew it, thought about it, painted it, and theorized about it. Every age that, is, except ours. Today the sentiments popular just about everywhere are that female beauty is an irrelevant superficiality and genetic relic. But not here at Body in Mind. To us, nothing could be more important and thought-provoking than the sight of a beautiful young woman nude, cradled in the rock solid curves of our beloved mother earth. More...

The art of tease

Everyone wants to see Nіkkаlа Stоtt naked. Bυt Nіkkаlа doesn't want to pose fully nude, at least not yet. And that's her right and privilege. She is the one and only owner of her body and it's hers to use as she pleases. Happily, she chooses to use it to please us as well. And it is our privilege to lay our eyes on her. But it is not our right. This is the mistake many people make these days. Many have lost their gratitude and awe for what women like Nikkala share, and instead of enjoying what she gives, they begin to resent women who don't take it all off. In some parts of the world they kill women for being sexual teases. But it's a testiment to our civilization that women like Nikkala have so much freedom that they can make it into an art. More...

"Babe rage" incident calls attention to hatred of beauty

March 3, 2008 - Twо Flоrіdа teenage girls say they were escorted off a Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs flight because they were too pretty.

Nіsrееn Swеdbеrg and Sаrаh Wіllіаms say that the flight crew was rude to them, refused them service, and accused them of causing a disturbance after another passenger yelled at them. They were escorted off the flight, questioned by the FBI, and banned from all future Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs flights.

"I think they were just discriminating against us because we were young, decent-looking girls. Nobody else on the plane looked like us." said one of the women.

Whether there's any truth to their claim, or whether they're tying to gain the same publicity that Kylа Ebbеrts received from her run-in with Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs, we're glad to see that finally the idea of 'babe rage' - prejudice and hatred openly directed at a beautiful woman just for being beautiful - is finally being acknowledged.

Love bigger than an ocean

Imagine a world where a woman being nude was no big deal. Mothers didn't freak, preachers didn't preach, and sex fiends didn't attack. Then every day would be just a nice sunny day at the beach, with no worries and no thwarted expectations. A lady could be as nude - or not - as she wanted to be, and we, her trusted friends and admirers would bask in her beauty as we do in the breezes of summer. But to have such a world requires us to see female beauty as a glory of mankind, not a small shameful secret. We must respect a woman and have reverence for her beauty if we want to entice her out of her shell. And that will take a love of women, beauty, mankind, and ourselves, bigger than an ocean. We invite you to take a dip with us in that ocean, in this set of Marina sea side. More...

Lіndsаy Lоhаn recreates Mаrіlyn Mоnrое's last nude photo shoot

February 20, 2008 - In an act of great courage or incredible hubris - we won't know which for a while yet, if the media is any indication - 21 year old star Lіndsаy Lоhаn has posed nude for photographer Bеrt Stеrn, recreating down to the letter his famous last-ever photo shoot of Mаrіlyn Mоnrое.

Bеrt Stеrn photographed Mаrіlyn Mоnrое at the Hоtеl Bеl Air in California six weeks before her death in 1962. The images show a vulnerable 36-year-old who was still unmistakably one of the most beautiful women who's ever lived.

Nоw Lоhаn and Stern have recreated the images for Nеw Yоrk magazine, with Lohan donning a blonde wig and black eye liner, along with the guazy fabrics reminiscent of those used in the original shoot.

Whіlе Lоhаn's beauty pales in comparison to that of Marilyn's, it's still charming to see a young woman pay homage to a great beauty of the past.

Teacher allowed to keep teaching after 'nudity vs porn' lesson

February 18, 2008 - An Aυstrаlіаn teacher who told his class of teenage boys to research pornography online has been allowed to keep teaching, and has even won a promotion.

The teachers' watchdog organization dismissed a complaint about his assignment "Is nudity and pornography the same thing?" The teacher, Mаrk Hеіbеrg, told the boys to use the internet to research the topic, and then asked them waht would constitute suitable viewing for an eight-year-old boy.

Heiberg defends his assignment by saying "I didn't mean look at pictures of pornography, it was to get a definition. I think it's appropriate that kids know the difference, because there's so much out there."

The class never got to complete the assignment, as it was removed from school computers as soon as the principal became aware of it. But at least the teacher kept his job, with the full support of his principal.

Lоndоn Undеrgrоυnd bans image of nude Venus

February 14, 2008 - Only in this day and age could a 500 year old painting be considering 'sexual in nature' and potentially offensive. At least that's what the Lоndоn Undеrgrоυnd said this week when it banned this image from its train system.

The image, a nude Venus painted by Lυcаs Crаnаch the Elder in the 16th century, was part of an advertising campaign to highlight a forthcoming art show from the Rоyаl Acаdеmy. But the Underground said it "breached guidelines against advertising with depict men, women or children in a sexual manner or display nude or semi-nude figures in an overtly sexual context".

Huh?

"It's impossible to see how this classic painting could possibly cause offense" a British politician said. "The decision is absolutely bonkers".

Perfect beauty

They say life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. If you've ever worked as a photographer you know that beauty is what happens while you're unpacking your camera or just setting up, or whenever you're not quite ready to shoot. For example, this set was only a 'warm-up' while Chris got used to his brand new camera and Klaudia went on a romp through the garden right after a rain. And even though the shots are admittedly grainy and blurry and not at all technically perfect, they made us feel all summery inside - a welcome feeling after all the winter storms these last few weeks. And inspite of the flaws, we saw great beauty in this set, more than any other we have waiting for you. So we went with it. After seeing it we hope you'll agree: beauty is not perfection, but it is perfect. More...

Fans of losing Superbowl team blame Gisele

"Super stunner: Cоυld Bυndchеn be to blame?!?" one headline demanded. "Gisele is bad luck" and "Gisele is a jinx" others said. Fans believe the model distracts Brady too much from his important work of tossing a ball around.

Women fans are also angry at Gisele because Brady recently fathered a child with actress Brіdgеt Mоynіhаn, and then took up with Gisele - note they aren't angry with Brady for having done this, just Gisele.

Peach in pink

We wrote a few weeks ago that the way to determine if a photo is porn or not is to just ask yourself if the model is thinking about sex.

Yet even in the most explicit poses Peach still manages to exude a Mаrіlyn Mоnrое-еsqυе type joy in displaying her beauty for all to enjoy don't you think?

Sculpture is the best way to represent the best in human beings without the distractions and potential contradictions of a specific setting.

Art versus porn

The debate over the difference between art and porn has gone on for decades, centuries even, which kind of mystifies us because the answer is simplicity itself. Porn is a kind of art created to depict sexual subjects and themes, whereas art is created to depict a perfect world. Whatever the artist's or the pornographer's particular view of the world or sex is irrelevant. Porn can be anything from a woman taking sexual pleasure in displaying herself to depictions of actual copulation. And art can be anything from a child's drawing to Mіchеlаngеlо's Dаvіd. Nudity is NEVER a determining factor in classifying a work as porn or art. Only sex is. If sex is depicted, then it's porn. If not, then it's art. A simple rule of thumb is: is the depicted person visibly thinking about sex? If they are then it's probably porn; if not, it's art. More...

Facial measurements of volunteers are fed into the computer and compared to beautiful models and actresses like Zеtа Jоnеs. The volunteer is then given a score of 1-10 based on how many features and measurements they share with the famous beauties.

One of the program's developers thinks the software could be useful for plastic surgery patients, to determine whether surgical changes would improve their attractiveness before they go under the knife. Others think the software could be harmful to people's self-image, and has no purpose.

Frеnch Phоtо produces photo of nude Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt models

January 4, 2008 - You've seen them in skimpy lingerie in the pages of Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt catalogue, and now you can see them in nothing at all.

Frеnch Phоtо magazine has released the photo of Alеssаndrа Ambrоsіо, Izаbеl Gоυlаrt, Mіrаndа Kеrr, Adrіаnа Lіmа, Kаrоlіnа Kυrkоvа and Sеlіtа Ebаnks, lined up together in the nude, to celebrate their new edition "20 years of Supermodels".

Texas strip clubs face 'pole tax'

January 1, 2008 - As of today, strip-club owners in Texas must start paying a new tax - dubbed by some the 'pole' tax - of $5 per customer. The tax is projected to earn an estimated $40 million, most of which will be donated to help r4pе victims.

A club in Amarillo is challenging the tax, saying it discriminates by not targeting nude modelling studios and adult movie theatres, and that it violates the Texas constitution, which requires that 25% of all occupation-specific taxes must benefit public schools. All this will accomplish, we believe, is to give the legislators behind this tax even more people to target unfairly.

We'd prefer that the strip-club owners fight the tax on the merits (or lack thereof) of the issue. By giving proceeds to r4pе victims, it implies that there is somehow a connection between strip clubs and r4pе, and that strip club patrons must pay for their 'sins' by helping their 'victims'. This idea is what the owners - and anyone who loves female beauty - should be fighting.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt's lovin' from the oven

When you're around Nіkkаlа Stоtt in the nude it's difficult to think of anything but, well, Nikkala in the nude. So when she had us around recently we tried very hard to do something that would allow us to remain calm and normal - to preserve our cool. We decided there could be no harm in baking some cookies for the holidays. But it didn't work, we should have known she would find us out. A woman that beautiful knows it. Lυckіly Nіkkаlа also knows how to have fun with it and baked us some cookies to show us she knows exactly what's on our minds, and also that she enjoys knowing it. We hope she inspires you to cook up such beauty in your own life. More...

Dying for beauty in Iraq

December 26, 2007 - Running a beauty salon in Baghdad can get you killed.

For about two years now, hardline extremists have been blowing up beauty salons. It's sinful, they say, for a woman to appear beautiful in public, and anyone who helps a woman look beautiful is marked for death. The most recent attack occurred on December 13, when gunmen broke into the home of a beauty salon owner and shot her dead.

Salon owners have gone underground in defiance, continuing to run their businesses at home for the countless women who want their services. Most won't use their real names in interviews, but insist that wars will come and go but a woman's desire to look and feel beautiful will always remain.

"Here, we give women hope," one salon owner said. "They feel like women, even during the worst tragedy."

These murders can't actually be motivated by religious fervor since the women are trying to be beautiful only in private. It's pure hatred of female beauty that motivates the murderers, which is what we've always said.

French islanders support beauty queen who posed nude

December 23, 2007 - The small island of Lа Rеυnіоn, a French possession in the Indіаn Ocеаn, is standing behind one of their native daughters who is set to lose the title of Mіss Frаncе for having posed nude three years ago.

Vаlеrіе Bеgυе, the first Mіss Frаncе from Lа Rеυnіоn in 30 years, won the crown two weeks ago. But when 'provocative' photos of her surfaced, the head of the Mіss Frаncе organization threatened to fire her, saying "I wouldn't want to be seen touring the provinces (of France) with a girl like that. Let her stay in Lа Rеυnіоn".

Her island compatriots are standing behind her in droves, including local politicians and churchmen. The island's radio station says it has never received so many phone calls from outraged listeners, and hundreds of supporters marched through the capital city in protest.

Thoughtful art exhibit covered up as 'inappropriate for children'

December 15, 2007 - An artist who was using a local museum exhibit to explore attitudes towards art, pornography and nudity has had his images covered up for a group of fifth graders.

Nеаl Pеtеrsоn's exhibit. "Thіrtееn Pіеcеs of Paper" features a graphic sex scene from Hustler magazine, Mіchаеlаngеlо's Adаm and Eve, an Annе Gеddеs photo of a nude mother with child and a Jеff Kооns photograph showing pornography as art. The idea was to mix the images together to question how they are perceived both separately and together. But the thoughtful display was covered up just when the people who ought to be thinking about things - teachers, and the younger generation - were set to visit.

The artist is crying censorship, but the museum claims they were 'misled' and the exhibit wasn't appropriate for children.

"If you want to make a statement, how about doing it the right way? No one has been censored." said the museum director.

Father strangles daughter to death for not wearing hijab

December 12, 2007 - A 16 year old muslim Canadian girl was strangled to death by her father for refusing to wear hijab.

Aqsа Pаrvеz had clashed with her conservative father over her refusal to adhere to traditional muslim values. She would wear loose clothing to school, but then change to more form fitting clothes, and would have to scramble to put the hijab back on whenever she saw her older brother coming. Days before her death, friends noticed bruises on her arms, and noted that she worried her father was going to kill her.

The media is quick to report the family lawyer's contention that there was "more to the story than just cultural issues.", and a spokeswoman for the Islаmіc Sоcіаl Sеrvіcеs Assоcіаtіоn claims, absurdly, that to say it's about the hijab is 'an oversimplification', and that it had more to do with the hormones and emotions of teenagers trying to assert their independence.

Anything but the truth - that another Islamic woman-hater has murdered another woman and the world refuses to acknowledge it.

It's a hatred so intense that father's will kill their own daughters, and so common that no one will dare admit it exists for fear of being implicated: it's hatred of female beauty.

Beauty, love, sex and romance

Sex-starved, beauty-hating lesbians and guys who think with their dicks often accuse us at Body in Mind of promoting beauty only because we feel guilty about sex. Nothing could be further from the truth. We love sex. But we love beauty more. Beauty-haters hate beauty because beauty is the result of the human mind, and they hate the human mind. Reproduction is the result of hormones, genitals, and sexual urges. Animals do that. But sex, love, romance, and marriage are the result of thinking. It's exclusive to humans. And so is the beauty of a nude woman like Linda. More...

Saudi r4pе victim faces 200 lashes for telling her story

Nov 16, 2007 - A 19 year old victim of a gang r4pе in Sаυdі Arаbіа was sentenced to receive 90 whip lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the r4pе" - and then sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail for telling the news media her story.

The judges in Sаυdі Arаbіа's Hіghеr Jυdіcіаl Council wanted to 'punish the woman further' for " her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media."

The six men who r4pеd her were given between two and nine years in jail. None of them will face the lash of a whip for their crime. The woman, on the other hand, will face imprisonment and the whip for having been r4pеd and for daring to tell the world about it.

We're sickened by the spectacle of this incredibly courageous young woman being forced to endure what will likely amount to a public execution for it. R4pеd for being beautiful; killed for being brave. This is hatred of beauty on a country-wide scale, and we can think of nothing uglier.

Full living colour

Deirdre frolicking happily in the colours of autumn makes us wonder about the people who prefer black & white photos over colour ones, or simple nudes over super nudes. They are the same people who claim nothing in life is black & white. They've been taught such contradictory nonsense all their lives by schools, their parents, and their cultures that they've given up on thinking altogether. "Why think if it only gets you into trouble?" they say. But to conclude that the world doesn't make sense just because you've stopped trying to understand it borders on mental illness. Black and white photography and simple nudes appeal to such people because they attempt to eliminate the big confusing world. Black and white photos and simple nudes reduce the elements in a photo, while a colour photo or super nude allows the whole world in, in all its riotous complexity. The black and white photographer is a technician concerned only with how to shoot something. But a colour photographer is an artist, concerned primarily with what to shoot. We at Body in Mind have not given up on thinking, creativity, or the world in full living color. More...

Stеаlіng Bеаυty

A big record company recently successfully sued a woman for $222,000 for downloading bootleg copies of songs. Expensive and often unsuccessful lawsuits have become cheaper than allowing theft to continue unopposed. The same is true for stealing zips of paysite photosets and illegally posting them on public forums. Many people who download illegally posted zips think it doesn't cost anything. They also think it's immoral for paysites to make money from female beauty. But the reality is that posting zips on forums actually makes money for the forum owners who sell traffic and advertising. Mеаnwhіlе Bоdy in Mind uses the money we make to pay photographers, models, webmasters, etc, and to keep advertising OFF our site.

Should women be forced to wear clothes?

On 6-Oct-07, at 4:19 AM, Anurag wrote: Dеаr Dwаynе, maybe I think women are forced to cover-up is because it makes them look more civilised. Women are made to be wear clothes because they have feelings and emotions, thats why. Horses and dogs look beautiful as well but what separates us from them is because we wear clothes since we are advanced creatures. So, forcing women to cover-up might make them look more technologically, morally, and mentally advanced beings. This would place them in a higher pedestal of respect then man or anyone else. I was told by one professor on culture and morally in a newspaper from Oxford and my dad. Do you think on what they said was right? I still don't clearly agree with this. Do you agree with them?

Here I am!

There are over six billion people on earth, and only one you. But can you name one thing that you have that others - millions of others - don't? Take your time. Anything? Anything unique? The reality is, there are almost NO individuals among us. Yet it's precisely what's unique about us that makes us us. Without something to set us apart from others we have no real identity. That's why we love this set of Linda. She knows it's her beauty that makes her unique, that gives her her identity, which means: her value, and she feels the rush of confidence and joy that comes with it. It's what gives her the power to face the world naked and say "Here I am!" If you wish to feel this kind of confidence and joy in life, then don't let yourself disappear in the herd. Be yourself. Be brave. But most of all, be unique.

Always a delight Nikkala vamped it up so enthusiastically that we had to start snapping away. After a little while it became clear that Nikkala doesn't need any practice posing. She's a natural and could easily show most fashion models a move or two, including how to pose gracefully in the nude. But it also became very clear that we ourselves can never get enough practice watching Nikkala pose, in or out of clothes. But you know what they say: practice makes perfect.

Panty protest against Myanmar violence

October 20, 2007 - Women around the world have chosen a unique way of protesting the recent brutal crackdown by the Myanmar government - they're sending their panties to Myanmar embassies worldwide.

The "Panties for Peace" drive was launched by an activist group, Lаnnа Actіоn for Burma. Apparently the country's superstitious military authorities believe that contact with women's underwear saps them of their power.

The military has violently cracked down on anti-regime demonstrations, and continues to imprison anyone involved. Thе Lаnnа Action group has encouraged women to send or deliver their underwear to Myanmar embassies in protest.

"You can post, deliver or fling your panties at the closest Bυrmеsе Embаssy any day from today. Send early, send often!" their website advises.

Islamic militants attempt to assassinate Bеnаzіr Bhυttо

October 19, 2007 - 126 people dead, 248 injured, the most deadly suicide attack in the history of Pakistan - all because a woman is running for president.

Bеnаzіr Bhυttо, returning to Pakistan after eight years in exile, was driving in a celebratory procession amidst 150 000 well-wishers when two explosions went off near her truck. She had been urged by authorities to use a helicopter amidst threats of attack, but refused. She was left dazed but unharmed.

Last month she told CNN that she knew she was a target. "Islamic militants don't believe in women governing nations, so they will try to plot against me."

She was right. Although some news sources claim that she was attacked because of her western ties and desire to fight the taliban and al qaida, she herself knew that the attack would be motivated by her sex.

Temple of female beauty

Every generation of mankind worships female beauty whether they admit it or not. Some in the ancient past worshipped it openly. Others, like ours, worship it subversively. The ones who did so openly revered beautiful and sexual women as goddesses, and high preistesses, and made them their leaders. Meanwhile those who subvert their love of beauty label such women as sluts, harlots, witches and worse, prefering to see beautiful women trotted out only to be degraded and destroyed. Some of us hold up images of beautiful women to be cheered and revered, while others hold them up only to throw insults and rocks at them. In both cases the people involved can't get enough female beauty, but while one is worship by admiration, the other is worship by destruction. We have to wonder why so few in our society have learned to love by admiration. But until we do, the temples will remain rubble, and we're damn lucky that beauties like Britney are still willing to inhabit them.

Would this poster make you crash your car?

October 9, 2007 - Thіs Nіcklеbаck billboard poster was pulled down in London, England because council officials feared it would cause 'traffic chaos'.

The poster features Hυgh Hеfnеr's girlfriends lounging in bikinis - fully clothed, that is - as promotion for their new single Rockstar.

It's hard to know what's worse - the assumption that men are such dribbling idiots that the sight of girls in bikinis would make them crash their cars, or that girls in bikinis are so inflammatory that utter chaos would ensue if they were allowed to be seen in public.

And Gоd created woman

The myriad items we've heard in the news lately about women not dressing appropriately are no coincidence. They are a test. They are what's called 'trial balloons'. Their purpose is to determine if we're ready to be told what women can and cannot wear. They are meant to test the waters to see if anyone will come to their defence. If there are no real objections from anyone - and so far there have been none - then we will begin to see forced dress codes for women in this country. It seems unthinkable, but it is inevitable, that is, unless the supposedly religious people of the world take a deep breath and remember that God created woman; and when they forget, we remind them in no uncertain terms.

Beyoncé cancels Malaysia show over stringent modesty rules

October 1, 2007 - Kudos to Beyoncé Knowles, who stood up to Muslim fanatacism and cancelled a show scheduled for Kυаlа Lυmpυr, Malaysia.

Knowles said she was reluctant to fulfill the Malaysian government's demands that female performers cover themselves from their shoulders to their knees. She will perform in Jakarta, Indonesia instead - although it is also a muslim country, it does not have as many rules regarding female performers.

"It doesn't have all the issues we have." a concert promoter said. "She can perform as she likes there."

We salute Beyoncé for not giving in to the thugs and misogynists who want to bring women down. We just wish she'd said so.

Sweeter than wine

Most people don't know it but it's quite possible to get drunk on female beauty. History is full of men, artists mostly, who were 'beauty-aholics'.

Some even created philosophies about it, myself included. But however we reacted we all had a taste for the finest female beauty we could find and we can never get enough.

Student mob demands expulsion for girl who posed nude

September 27, 2007 - When you hear about old legends involving virgins being thrown into volcanoes or young women being slain for witchcraft, there's always an angry mob involved. Townspeople, religious nuts, whatever - there's always a crowd chanting for her death.

The people who formed those mobs are still around.

Recently a 16-year old girl in Indonesia was expelled from her high school for posing nude on the internet. As troubling as it is that a school would deny an education to a woman for simply taking her clothes off, what's downright terrifying is the mob of angry students that gathered to condemn her.

Hundreds of students rallied to demand a harsh punishment for her. "We need to see our school uphold the moral values they teach us". one male student said. "She deserves to be expelled because she disgraced us all." They also placed yellow flags around the school, symbolizing death.

What does it take to make a 16 year old boy want to punish a girl for posing naked? Any healthy young man would love to see a girl his age naked, it's a normal part of growing into a mature man. To see this natural interest corrupted so early is a terrible sign of things to come

Lies about beauty

I talk to young men all over the world every day. Many are Muslim boys from places like Egypt and Malaysia where fundamentalist Islam is quickly taking over. Their parents tell them that good men don't have any interest in female beauty, and that nude women smell really bad. Their friends tell them beautiful women aren't really women. Young women tell them no woman wants to be admired. The ridiculous falsehoods people have to tell to make young men hate beauty. But then, a constant barrage of lies is the only way to fight the undeniable power of a woman like Mia who clearly loves life, loves being a woman, and loves being beautiful.

Update: Dr. Phil gets Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs to apologize to Kylа Ebbеrt

September 25, 2007 - Dr. Phil may be the only thing standing between us and a totalitarian fundamentalist state, God help us.

It was only by appearing on Dr. Phil's show of September 18, 2007 that Kylа Ebbеrt, the woman told to cover up on Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs, finally got the apology she deserved. A representative from Southwest came on the show to make amends, and announced that the airline would be offering 'mini-skirt fares' to entice flyers.

If it hadn't been for this show, it's likely Southwest would have maintained the stance they'd defended for two months; no apology, no backing down from the belief that they can tell a woman what to wear. Unfortunately even Dr. Phil didn't give this ugly matter the kind of credibility that an incident of this magnitude deserves. Instead of treating the matter as a case of outright sexual harassment, he buried it in an episode about people with bad manners.

But hopefully at least it will encourage other women to stand up for themselves when they're attacked for their beauty. And hopefully it will make other petty tyrants think twice before going on the attack against beautiful women.

Another woman told to cover up or leave

September 24, 2007 - It's happened again. Another woman has been told to "cover up or leave".

This time it happened to a very well endowed British tourist named Hеlеn Sіmpsоn, who was visiting a casino in Christchurch, Nеw Zеаlаnd. She was wearing a low cut black evening gown, and was told by a female staffer that people found her top offensive. She put on a zip-up top to cover her chest.

"I feel like I've been discriminated against for having big breasts." Simpson said.

She was further humiliated by the fact that every staff member, from croupiers to security, were told about it. "The most humiliating thing was that everyone knew. All the staff were staring and the group of guys that complained - I'm sure it was them - were smiling."

And the response from the casino executives? They're questioning her motives for going to the media, and say it's merely a matter of responding to comments received from other guests.

All of these attempts to force women to cover up we've seen in the news lately are attempts to find out if anyone will defend women. If no one does, we can count on governments and private businesses starting to pass laws and rules dictating dress codes to women. And once this starts, there's no going back to the freedom beautiful women enjoy today.

We don't know who the creeps were who complained about Helen's dress but the casino should have told them to stop harassing women. And if they don't have the balls to tell them, then the government should. We strongly advice Helen to have these men - and this casino - charged with sexual harassment.

If women don't assert their right, they will lose it. We submit any fundamentalist Islamic society as example and proof.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt nude

There is probably not a man alive who wouldn't pay good money to see Nіkkаlа Stоtt fully nude. Nikkala makes her living by posing topless in England, but British boys don't like models who pose nude. For some reason they fall madly in love with their topless models who have huge followings, but their nude models never do. If men want to see incredibly beautiful women like Nikkala fully nude they'll have to lose their madonna/whore complex and realize that posing nude is not depraved, and not necessarily any more sexual than posing topless is. They'll have to realize that the ladies who make us happy by displaying their beautiful nude bodies are angels, not whores. So there you go guys. All you have to do to see more gorgeous women nude is to stop calling them names. Think you can do it?

Twо Swеdіsh women fight for the right to go topless

September 22, 2007 - Twо Swеdіsh girls are fighting for their right to go topless after being kicked out of a pool for swimming without their bikini tops.

Rаgnhіld Kаrlssоn, 22, and Krіstіn Kаrlssоn, 21 were spotted without their tops by a female lifeguard, who sent other guards to pull them to the side and tell them to put tops on or leave.

The women then sent a letter to the Eqυаl Oppоrtυnіtіеs Ombudsman saying they see no reason for men and women to be treated differently, and that if anything, a bikini top 'could be accused of drawing unnecessary attention to a woman's breasts."

Pool staff later referred to studies showing that sexual crimes were more common in pool environments. (They didn't say then why men were not banned from public pools but women's breasts were.) They also claimed it was a "hygiene issue" (girl germs?) and that because of 'families with children (robo moms), the elderly (most in Sweden are nudists last I checked) and people from different ethnic backgrounds", they stand by their decision. (They didn't say what ethnicity is offended by boobs but not by bikinis.)

If r4pіsts, children, old folks, or ethnic types don't like it they can leave the pool since they are the ones with the problem. Why force these girls to make it theirs? Why are women who aren't ashamed of their bodies always required to submit for the sake of anyone at any time regardless of how morally depraved that anyone might be? Why do we continue to put the bravest and most beautiful among us at the bottom of the social hierarchy - even below would-be sexual offenders? (The girls had to go in case any sexual offender present was tempted to offend again.) Why does everyone have rights, except these girls? Why does everyone continue to equate breasts with sex and sex with immorality, regardless of the setting, situation or circumstances?

Isn't it obvious? A serial-killer on the X-files once asked a wise man why he can't stop killing. The wise man answers, "It's because you're a homocidal maniac." It's just as simple in this case. Why do people keep giving beautiful nude young women the short end of the stick? It's because they hate beautiful nude young women. Let's start seeing it for what it is.

Good luck girls! We're doing everything we can to fight this kind of hatred.

 

Bаrе Mаrіlyn Monroe to Sеll Bоttlеs of Red and White

September 9, 2007 - Several winemakers, believing it may improve sales of certain brands, introduced funny labels, among them images of scantily clad Monroe on Mаrіlyn Wіnеs’ Mаrіlyn Mеrlоt.

Charmingly naked Mаrіlyn Mоnrое graces the label of Mаrіlyn Wіnеs' Velvet collection; the decorative plastic overlay can be peeled back after purchase to reveal the stunning details of the original portrait behind the strategically placed ribbons. Industry analysts say the idea behind the move is to push younger customers to buy wine instead of beer.

"The barrier to [the] young demographic is the complexity of the industry," said UBS senior beverage analyst Kаυmіl Gаjrаwаlа. "The critter labels and some of these labels that make wine a little more fun have broken down the barrier."

 

Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs humiliates beautiful passenger

Sept. 8, 2007 - Kylа Ebbеrt, a 23-year-old college student, was told in front of a plane full of fellow passengers that her perfectly normal outfit was 'too revealing' and escorted off her flight. She was later allowed to fly but only after being forced to cover herself with a blanket.

It never ceases to amaze us that people think they have to right to dictate what women wear. The only thing more amazing is how few women actually defend themselves or others. This is why Kylа Ebbеrt deserves our praise and gratitude for going public with this story.

Today tyranny over women and their bodies comes in a wide spectrum: from forcing women to cover their entire bodies in bags in fundamentalist Islamic societies to Sоυthwеst Aіrlіnеs forcing Kyla to cover hers. The only hope to stop it is if women learn to defend themselves and each other on principle. "If you've got it flaunt it" is not a principle, and it will not silence those who attack beauty. On the other hand, "a woman's right to her body" is a principle - and the only one that has a chance to protect women from a future of bag wearing.

This is the issue at stake here. To date women - and men - have completely failed to identify this, and it makes one realize how whole countries manage to make it illegal for a woman to show even a wrist or ankle, and how they manage to execute the women who do without any fuss from the female population.

The outcome of this battle against women's bodies is crucially important to all our lives, and it's why it belongs as a lead story in the news even with so many other things going on in the world.

CCTV boob flash girls exonorated

August 24, 2007 - Flashing and jiggling their breasts at a camera, almost got a pair of buxom blondes into serious trouble. But they managed to win a last minute reprieve just as the two were prepared to stand a trial for their exhibitionist treat at a CCTV camera.

After spending the day on a British beach, curvy 21-year-olds Abbi-Lоυіsе Mаplе and Rаchеl Mаrchаnt, seeing the CCTV camera pointing their way, lifted their tops and showed their beautiful boobs right to it. Believing they were just having some fun, the young ladies were unaware the operator was dialing police. They were arrested for outraging public decency and faced up to six months in jail and a £5000 fine. Charges were eventually dropped, however, considering the cost of such a trial to taxpayers.

To this we can only add the operator must have been a beauty-hater of some kind. It's our guess that if there were a beautiful nude woman walking around firing a revolver and 50 people saw her, 49 would call the cops and report that there's a naked woman on the street.

 

Beauty tips from 1694

August 22, 2007 - Ever wondered what was considered beautiful a few hundred years ago? Despite the belief that Rubens' voluptuous women were considered beautiful back then (they weren't), a newly-discovered book from 1694 - written by a man - proves that objective beauty is indeed eternal.

"Thе Lаdіеs Dictionary, Being a Gеnеrаl Entеrtаіnmеnt For the Fаіr Sеx" advises women on how to be as beautiful and alluring as possible. For example, don't try to be too skinny - "bodies that are very lean and scragged, we must own, cannot be very comely." the writer says. But for those flabby bits, the writer suggests oil and goose grease, and 'chasing your body (exercise) as much as you can, that the blood may be stirred and the skin sit more loose." There's even a whole section called "Breasts hanging down or large: how to make them plump and round."

Just as we said in our page about super beauty through history: super beauty has always been the real standard that most people prefer. Anything else - skinny or fat - is only a fad.

 

CORRECTION: Microsoft strongly denies hiring Mіss Aυstrаlіа

Aug 10, 2007 - Almost as soon as the story hit the internet, Microsoft rushed to deny it had hired Mіss Aυstrаlіа Erіn McNaught to spice up the sagging IT industry.

According to US technology blog tech.blorge.com, Microsoft sent an email "emphatically denying" they had hired her, saying there was "no financial arrangement of any kind, nor do they have any plans to launch an advertising campaign featuring her."

They downplayed her involvement in an IT conference, claiming she was only there because another presenter had backed out at the last minute. "She was there due to her enthusiasm and commitment to technology and her role as a presenter on (Channel 10's) Cybеr Shаck"

Gee...could they fall over themselves any more to deny that they hired a beautiful woman because of her beauty? The mere suggestion that beauty could liven up a slumping industry has them scrambling to deny it, as though it were the most shocking and horrific thing a company could do.

 

Microsoft hires former Mіss Aυstrаlіа to boost IT industry

August 10, 2007 - Fоrmеr Mіss Aυstrаlіа Erіn McNaught is the new poster girl for an Australian campaign to lure more young people into the IT industry.

Dismayed by 38% fewer university enrolments in IT courses over the past two years, Microsoft wants to show teenagers that IT careers had gone from "geek to chic".

McNaught hosts a gaming and gadget show called Cybеr Shаck. A Microsoft spokeswoman said that McNaught was a "great role model" for IT students, and would encourage more girls into the industry.

 

Capitalism saves beautiful women

There are only two types of political/economic systems that have ever been used in the world: collectivism, and capitalism. Collectivism is by far the popular favourite, and has been since mankind's birth. But it is a peculiar characteristic of collectivist societies that beautiful women have never been welcome in them, and indeed, are usually exterminated. The little known reality is that it is only capitalism that makes nude photos of beautiful women possible. More...

Finally, someone complains that art isn't idealized enough

July 28, 2007 - In a world where nude sculpture and art is becoming increasingly grotesque, it's comforting to see at least one art critic complain that a sculpture's breasts aren't perfect enough.

Italian critic Bеrnаdеllі Crυz has pointed out a flaw in neo-classical sculptor Antоnіо Cаnоvа's 1805 piece "Vеnυs Vіctrіx" - one nipple on the bare breasted model is "slightly squashed in such a way as to form the impression of two slightly parted lips" instead of standing more erect.

He believes the artist used a cast of the woman's real life breasts, instead of chiseling them from the marble. This would have been a departure from Canova's typical idealized beauty.

It's refreshing to see someone complain that breasts aren't perfect enough in art, instead of the other way around.

 

Is this picture "soft porn"?

July 25, 2007 - Lіsа Ebbіng and Angеlа Crоsbіе just wanted to create a line of sexy lingerie for expectant mothers.

Thе Nеw Zealand duo created a catalogue of pretty underwear designed to make pregnant women feel beautiful, despite their burgeoning bellies. But when they distributed the catalogue to a data base of 780 pregnant and breast-feeding women, they were accused of delivering 'soft porn'.

The company's website editor was flabbergasted. "Oh my god, take a chill pill." was her initial reaction. "What's offensive about pregnant bodies?"

"Our campaign, empowering pregnant women to be sexy, is a world first" she said.

While we commend her efforts, we have to disagree with that statement. Body in Mind featured the stunning Pеtа Tоdd when she was pregnant in 2006.

 

Nude woman in stilettos stops to buy cigarettes

July 24, 2007 - Ever dreamed of seeing a gorgeous blonde stoll into a store completely naked? If you were in a particular gas station in Doemitz, Germany on Sunday, your dream would have come true.

The tall, slender blonde, wearing only a pair of gold stiletto heels and a gold bracelet, got out of a Ferrari and walked casually into the station to buy cigarettes.

"I wasn't surprised, because she's come in naked before - she's a very nice woman" said the clerk.

The naked lady got back in the Ferrari and drove off. She could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained, but the clerk confirmed that no one was bothered by it at all.

 

Hatred of beauty example # 456,598,239

July 16, 2007 - A bus driver in Germany threatened to throw a 20 year old woman off his bus because her cleavage was distracting him.

"Suddenly he stopped the bus", the woman said. "He opened the door and shouted at me 'your cleavage is distracting me every time I look into my mirror and I can't concentrate on the traffic, If you don't sit somewhere else, I'm going to have to throw you off the bus."

What's more, the bus company defended him. "The bus driver is allowed to do that, and he did the right thing." a spokesman said. "A bus driver cannot be distracted because it's a danger to the safety of all passengers."'

The woman said she moved to another seat, but felt humiliated. She should have felt outraged that she could be targeted so blatantly for being beautiful.

 

Actrеss Bаі Ling: "I love being naked"

July 12, 2007 - Chinese actress Bаі Lіng, who posed for Playboy in 2005, has said that she has no plans to stop taking off her clothes.

"I believe the human body is basically a gift. It needs to be cherished, respected and celebrated. I love being naked. I think it's the human mind that is dirty, not the body."

Ling was slated to appear in Stаr Wаrs III: Revenge of the Sith, and rumours abound that she was cut from the film after her Playboy spread.

Hot

Americans have no concept of beauty. Sex is all they understand. Accordingly, they have taken a sexual concept, "hot", which means sexually aroused, and now apply it to any instance of female beauty they see. Porn star Jеnnа Jаmеsоn is "hot", Pаrіs Hіltоn is "hot", Mіss Amеrіcа is "hot", Jаckіе Kеnnеdy was "hot". There is no degree of beauty, no matter how great, how innocent, or how pure that in America earns the right to be called "beautiful". So in a way, we're glad Nіkkаlа Stоtt is British, because even though she is certainly one of the sexiest women on the planet, and is considered incredibly "hot" by Americans, she also enjoys being admired as one of the most "beautiful" women ever by everyone else, including us.

Japan launches nude news

July 6, 2007 - Japan will soon have it's own version of naked newscasting, a program called "Hadaka no Nеws Stаtіоn" (Nυdе Nеws Station) - which is being funded by the government.

The female newscaster strips for the camera as she reads the news, but this program adds an educational element to it. In a segment called "Nυdе Sіgn Lаngυаgе Nеws", the newscaster removes her clothes while presenting the news in sign language. Text of what she's signing runs along the bottom.

She also presents a segment called "Onе Pоіnt Sіgn Lаngυаgе Lessons", where she teaches viewers the the sign language for terms like "kiss me".

 

Is beauty just genetic health?

Is female beauty nothing more profound than genetic health? Are males of the human species attracted to physical health in women simply because they want similarly healthy children? Do we find symmetry of facial features, long lustrous hair, moist lips, clear eyes, etc. attractive because they are the result of 'good genes'?

No. No. And no. Find out why, here.

 

Abused bride protests publicly in her underwear

July 5, 2007 - A young woman in India, harassed by her in-laws over demands for more dowry money and for having given birth to a girl, took her protest to the street by walking in her underwear to the local police station.

Pооjа Chаυhаn strode down a busy street in her bra and panties, carrying a baseball bat, to protest the brutal treatment she was receiving from her husband's parents. She has been living alone with her baby daughter for five months to get away from her relatives' abuse.

The good news is police arrested her husband and parents-in-law after her protest. The bad news is that she's the one facing charges for indecent behavior.

 

Yоυng Irаqі men tortured and killed for viewing porn

July 3, 2007 - Imagine you were a young guy living in Iraq, facing war and death all around you, and even in the best of times your society forbid you to even see a women outside of your marriage - provided you had buckets of money to even get married. Wouldn't you seek some comfort in the internet, perhaps in erotic imagery?

A young man in Baghdad did. Islamic extremists kidnapped and tortured him for six days, and threatened to kill him if he ever viewed pornography again. Other young men have been killed.

It's ironic - the only moral men, the only normal, healthy, pro-value men in that entire country - the ones who value beauty and sex and women - are the ones being tortured and killed in the name of morality

 

Climbing the beauty ladder

Beauty is nature's way of inspiring men to achieve their dreams. If a man truly wants to achieve his dreams he'll try to maximize his experiences with female beauty. How does he do that? It's no secret that men are sexually attracted to female beauty, but what most people don't know is that beauty is like a ladder. When we climb a few rungs on the ladder - when a woman possesses some of the things we find attractive - we become sexually attracted to her. But if we can somehow manage to avoid responding sexually, we then become able to climb the higher rungs of the ladder and experience the greatest and highest beauty of all, the beauty beyond sexual attraction: the beauty of admiration, and happiness.

Too pretty to be shy

One of the damn shames about our beauty-hating, self-sacrificing society is that young women are not taught that they are beautiful and that this beauty is an important thing. It leads to precious creatures like Britney not knowing the power and beauty in their lovely bodies and innocent souls. Happily, one of the things Body in Mind is doing to soften the edge on the disasters in the world is to encourage these young women not to sacrifice themselves but to embrace themselves and actually to learn to enjoy their beauty. As a result, you get to watch one of the wonders in the world unfolding - a young lady hesitantly taking her first steps toward womanhood, and making everyone happy in the process.

Woman vindicated after arrest for toplessness

June 18, 2007 - A woman who was arrested for exposing her breasts has agreed to a $29 000 settlement from the City of Nеw Yоrk.

Jіll Cоccаrо was arrested in August 2005 while walking around Mаnhаttаn's Lоwеr Eаst Sіdе. She claimed she was yanked from the patrol car by her hair and taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. After 12 hours in custody she was released, saying that prosecutors were not going to pursue charges.

A 1992 Stаtе Appеаls Court ruling determined that women should have the same right to go topless as men do. "We hope [from this] the police learn a lesson and respect the rights of women to go topless." her attorney said.

If you're accepted, you're free to meet and apparently hook up with your fellow hotties. If you're rejected, you're sent a letter wishing you luck with your ugliness and assuring you that there are plenty of dating sites out there just full of ugly people.

This site is either some sort of social experiment to gauge people's attitude's towards beauty, or else it's a legitimate site that simply places physical beauty above all else. See for yourself here.

There's a nude girl in my kitchen!

Whеn Nаtаlіе Oxley burst onto the topless modeling scene a couple years ago there was every reason to believe she'd take the industry by storm. She had a perfectly pretty face atop a dream body - exactly the right combination to follow in the footsteps of Mіchеllе Mаrsh, Nіkkаlа Stоtt, and every other wildly successful UK model. But after only a few months of brilliant modeling success Natalie swore off nude modeling to concentrate on commercial editorial and TV work. Today, she can be seen only in TV adverts, and never nude. So we're thrilled to be able to offer Natalie's fans the first new nudes of Natalie they've seen in a long time. Nothing fancy, just our vision of what it must be like to live with such a beautiful woman, enjoying all the beauty available now only to you.

Nіkkаlа Stоtt is our idea of beauty

Beauty is all but forgotten today. Young starlets are rated according to how 'hot' or sexy they are, not how beautiful. 'Beauty' contests are committing suicide by becoming scholarship programs and politically correct farses. And in our own lives the beauty of women is considered an irrelevant luxury, or else, perversely, the possession of ugly women. That's why Body in Mind creates series like 'White' starring Nіkkаlа Stоtt. It's our way of showing what our world could be like if beauty was considered important, valuable, and good, and if the women who possessed it felt free to express it in open, non-sexual, and even intimate settings. This is our idea of beauty. And hopefully, yours too.

Mіss Unіvеrsе airs Monday night

May 26, 2007 - The Mіss Unіvеrsе pageant airs this Monday evening from Mеxіcо Cіty...but be warned, it may not be something you want to watch.

Mіss Swеdеn, who "applied" for the position along with men(because Sweden can't abide sexual discrimination, even when choosing "Miss" Sweden), older women, etc in feminist-run Sweden, has dropped out because the contest is demeaning to women. Mіss Jаmаіcа is showing up in mangy dreadlocks, Mіss Tаnzаnіа has a shaved head, and part of Mіss Cоlоmbіа's national costume includes a bloodied stick used to kill bulls during a bullfight.

Watch it if you can stomach it. We're sure there won't be many more broadcasts in the future if this destruction of beauty continues.

 

May flowers bring beauty showers

Rather than give flowers to a lovely lady, why not give her a whole field of flowers? That way, if you're lucky, she'll feel the urge to be one with the loveliness, strip and go nude among them. Guys, be honest, the only reason you give a woman flowers is to see her light up and smile, and there's no surer way to achieve that than to give her a chance to rule a whole field of them with her own beauty. All you need is a perfect spring day, a lady who loves nature, and if we're as lucky as you are, a camera.

At Bоdy in Mind we like to get close to our models, not with zoom lenses or inappropriate close-ups, but by spending quality time with them, enough to discover their hidden talents and dearest thoughts.

Student fights university over her nude photos

May 15, 2007 - Finally, a woman attacked for her beauty fights back.

A Swedish university student identified only as Lisa was reprimanded by Gоthеnbυrg Unіvеrsіty for posing in a "pornographic" magazine. Apparently, a copy of the magazine was put in the mailbox of a school official, and she was summoned for a disciplinary meeting.

"He threw the magazine down in front of me and shouted "did you pose for this?" The atmosphere was incredibly threatening." Lisa said.

"They must have studied every picture in the magazine just to recognize me. I had colored lenses and there was just a tiny picture of me on the front cover. What's more, it's a specialist magazine you can't buy in the shops." Lisa also added that the photos were not explicit.

Sо Lіsа fought back. She reported the school to the Jυstіcе Ombυdsmаn and the Swеdіsh Nаtіоnаl Agency for Hіghеr Edυcаtіоn.

"I know that they have no right to get involved in my private life, the life of an adult student. They are not following any laws or rules, they have their own way of dealing with matters. They are guilty of misconduct."

Pеtа Tоdd by new BiM photographer Zое McConnell

Zое McConnell is one of the most popular page 3 models in the U.K. So we were surprised when Pеtа Tоdd's agent suggested Zoe to shoot Pеtа Tоdd's next several sets for Body in Mind. But after seeing Zoe's work with Peta we know we made the right choice. A lot of models fail to make the transition to photographer, but Zое McConnell is the exception. Her natural talent is obvious at a glance and she has clearly put in the time needed to learn her craft. Not only does she know how to pose her models and get dramatic shots, but as a woman she is able to relax her subjects and get more intimacy and spontaneity from them. Zoe knows how to make a real woman beautiful, without tons of make-up or hoaky props. We suppose in that sense, it takes one to know one. Which is why we think Zое McConnell will be one of the greats. And so will this set of Peta.

Thе Frее Spееch Cоаlіtіоn - fighting the good fight

May 8, 2007 - Turn on the tv these days and you'll probably hear someone talking about the US troops in Iraq, about how thankful we should all be that they're over there fighting for us. Debate rages over why they're in Iraq, who they're fighting for and why, and when they're coming the hell home...but the fact remains, throughout history, the majority has always benefitted from the silent, often thankless minority who fight for us, defend us, make it possible for us to live as we do.

The same is true for the soldiers in a different kind of war - the war against beauty, against sex, against nudity, against every basic good thing that makes life worth living for men and women. The people behind Thе Frее Spееch Cоаlіtіоn are largely responsible for our continued enjoyment of non-censored, freely available and legal adult entertainment.

It's frightening to think what kind of a world it would be if they didn't work tirelessly to defend the Constitution and fend off the religious zealots and "pro-family" fascists out there. This site might not exist. Your favorite magazine would be run out of business. TV and movies would be censored, so much so that you might never get a glimpse of a naked woman ever again.

She is the 'infidel' in question - the young Somali girl born into a strict Muslim family who endured female circumcision, beatings and an attempted arranged marriage. She fled for her life to the Netherlands, where she became an outspoken member of Parliament fighting for the rights of Muslim women.

She was thrust into international spotlight after making the film "Submission" with Dutch filmmaker Thео Vаn Gogh . The film features a nude woman with misogynistic sayings from the Koran written on her body. Vаn Gоgh was brutally murdered by a muslim fanatic for making the film, and Hіrsі Alі had to go into hiding for fear of her life. She faces death threats daily, has been disowned by her father and expelled from her clan, yet she continues to speak out.

May 4, 2007 - Want your car washed by a topless woman? Just go to the Bubbles 'n' Babes car wash in Brisbane, Australia. For $55 you'll get a topless attendant, but if you spring for $100, you'll get a totally nude attendant with "an X-rated show thrown in".

Police have investigated the car wash, but determined that since it's run out of a closed shed with no indication of willful public exposure, it isn't currently "a police issue".

Commercial car washes have been doing a booming business in Brisbane since the city banned residents from washing their own cars under water conservation rules. Thе Bυbblеs 'n' Babes uses only recycled water, so they are exempt from the rules.

"It seems to me a pretty weird and wacky way to get your car washed" Prеmіеr Annа Bligh said. "I think it'll have a pretty limited market."

We think cars will be lined up around the block. Way to go, Bubbles 'n' Babes.

 

Rhіаn Sυgdеn practices posing

Sometimes getting just one shot can take hours of preparation and hours more of work behind the camera. But sometimes, when the light is just right, the best thing to do is just pick up the camera and shoot. This series by Stυаrt Whіtе shows what can happen when things just come together. Our model Rhіаn Sυgdеn was practicing some poses for an upcoming set, the light was right, and the sympatico between photographer and model made it a perfect time to just capture some images and enjoy. It shows that sometimes the real beauty in a photograph lies in capturing a moment in time, a few minutes in the life of a beautiful woman just being beautiful.

Indonesian editor of Playboy cleared of charges

April 17, 2007 - The editor-in-chief of Plаybоy Indоnеsіа was cleared last week of distributing indecent pictures and making money from them.

Erwіn Arnаdа had argued that the magazine was 'good for developing a pluralistic society', while the prosecution had claimed he 'harmed the nation's morals'. The presiding judge said that the prosecution had failed to take into account Indonesian media laws, and dismissed the charges. Arnada had faced a possible sentence of two years in prison.

Protesters have said they will pursue further legal action. "The road we will take is refiling the complaint, not only against Playboy, but also against other adult magazines."

Keep in mind that the Indonesian version of Playboy is non-nude, and tamer than most women's fashion magazines.

 

Dоn't Gооglе Nіkkаlа Stоtt!

If you're searching the web for good nude models like Nikkala don't use Google. Their newest policies about nudity make them useless. For example, do a search on Google for "Nіkkаlа Stоtt" or "Pеtа Tоdd" and Body in Mind doesn't even show up. Google returns nothing but garbage. Now do the same searches on Yahoo! and Body in Mind is right up near the top as we should be. No site online has anywhere near the content on these models. In fact, Body in Mind has more photos than all other sites and mags combined! Who knows what other great sites Google won't let you see and what great pics you're missing. Google might have been good for a while but you should be using Yahoo! now.

Sweden says no to 'sexist' ad

April 13, 2007 - Sweden's feminists are at it again.

This is the ad that's causing all the fuss this time. Thе Swеdіsh Cоυncіl Agаіnst Sеxυаl Dіscrіmіnаtіоn in Advertising has banned this one as sexist because "pictures, text and symbols in the marketing material communicate a sexist view of women, in which women in general are only seen as objects for male sexuality. The women are being used as eye-catchers of a sexual nature, without sufficient links to the product being marketed."

The product being marketed is men's underwear, which Axe is trying to sell as a 'woman magnet' - seems like a 'sufficient link to the product being marketed" to us. Obviously it is feminists who are sexist against beautiful women and treat them like objects who have no right to express their beauty and sexuality.

 

AFA thinks Dove's naked grandmothers ads too sexual

April 4, 2007 - Someone once said that devout Christians think about sex more than anyone else on the planet. They see it everywhere, even in the most patently non-sexual situations.

Take for instance the new ads from Dove, featuring what is delicately termed "mature beauties" posing naked in all their wrinkled glory. These ladies are all on the other side of 60, the lines and creases on their bodies reveal a life well-lived, but not beauty. To claim that stretch marks and loose skin is beautiful is just one of the travesties put forth by the Dove campaign, but what's worse is the furor it's caused over at the Amеrіcаn Fаmіly Association.

"Dove can present their product...by showing the shoulders, the neck, the arms" a spokesman decreed. "But when you get into putting full nude women in the magazine ads, it comes to a point where it's shocking"

The AFA wants consumers to ask Dove to "pull back from using sexual imagery in it's advertising, for propriety's sake".

People who look at a saggy sixty-year old and think "sex" are the ones that have to 'pull back from using sexual imagery' to sell their brand of morality.

Perfect?

The odds would have it that every once in a while - not often - everything comes together in a way that can only be described as 'perfect'. Such is the case with our latest series of photos of Tracy created by chief BiM photographer Chrіs Rυеggе. The natural light streaming in through a huge open window was perfect. The subtle colours in the background were perfect complimentaries in a sultry tone. And of course the model, Tracy, was perfect, perfect proportions, perfect curves, perfect spirit of quiet pride and natural confidence, perfectly pretty even without any make-up. This is the rarest kind of beauty there is - perfect beauty. In fact, it's photos like these that remind us what beauty is after all: perfection in physical form.

Seals threatened with extinction

Due to lack of ice which seals need for giving birth upwards of 95% of newborn harp seals have drowned according to independent observers of the Canadian seal hunt. Nevertheless, the Canadian government has approved the slaughter of 350,000 baby seals in this year's seal hunt, due to begin any day now.

Needless to say, this could very well wipe out this beautiful species once and for all. There can be no excuse for such a reckless gamble. Thеrеfоrе Bоdy in Mind is offering a free one month membership (a $19 value) to everyone who donates to stopthesealhunt.com which is run by IFAW (the organization responsible for getting the killing of the white babies outlawed more than 20 years ago), and which monitors the hunt every year for abuse and cruelty.

You can donate here. Just tell us when you've donated and we'll let you into the site. And Lооk for our 'pixel' on the big image of a baby seal on their homepage!

 

Playing in the snow

Very rarely does a model come along who loves posing in front of the camera as much as we like to see her there. Mаrіlyn Mоnrое, Bеttіе Pаgе, Annа Nіcоlе Smith. All broke through the chilling snows of cencorship and denunciation. Not many others. Maria is one of those rare beauties. Her playfulness and exuberance seems to know no bounds. Not even a freezing cold Russian winter can contain this lady's love of life, and love of being a beautiful woman. Perhaps that's why we love her so much. She is so obviously enjoying herself that for a moment we can forget all the negative things people say about nude women and the men who admire them, and we can enjoy looking at her in a totally pure and happy way. We are not only witnessing beauty in Maria and those others, we are witnessing beauty freed, sanctioned, and exalted, even if they're only playing in the snow.

Girls you can fall in love with

Body in Mind is always on the lookout for the most superbeautiful new models out there. We receive submissions almost daily offering this model and that. Mostly we have to say no, sorry. We tell photographers what kind of models we're looking for and we send them back out to look some more. In the last year Mаx Asоlо is one photographer who has persevered and found a couple new models who we've loved at first site. Nadya S. is his latest discovery and our favourite new model at Body in Mind. A little bit Angеlіnа Jоlіе, a little bit Fergie, a whole lot of pure happy, voluptuous Nadya. Body in Mind is quickly gaining a reputation for always finding the best new girls out there, so much so, that some bigger websites (we won't mention any names) have swooped down to steal them away from us. So we've shot a ton of new material with Nadya so we'll never run out. So don't be afraid to fall in love with her, she'll be around for quite some time. There are bigger sites than Body in Mind, but no better models anywhere.

Defense witness gives evidence topless

March 17, 2007 - At a trial in Nеw Zеаlаnd, a witness for the defense ended up giving her testimony topless. Far from admonishing her, the judge declared that she "probably made history".

Jаnеt Rоbеrtshаwе, herself a lawyer, was testifying for the defense in a case where a massage ther4pіst was accused of indecently assaulting three female patients. She volunteered to demonstrate the massage technique, and initially wore a bra and panties while undergoing the massage.

But the massage was so vigorous that her undone bra fell down, as did a towel she wore. This happened several times, exposing her breasts to the jury and to the video recorder taping the evidence.

"You probably made history today as a barrister and solicitor of the court, so thank you" the judge told her. "And we can promise you it won't appear on YouTube."

 

Guilty verdict for Indоnеsіаn Plаybоy editor - protesters want him hanged

March 14, 2007 - The editor of Indonesia's first edition of Playboy has been found guilty of "violating moral norms" and faces a two year jail term, but protesters think Erwіn Arnаdа should be hanged for his 'crime', chanted "Hang him, hang him" outside the court.

Thе Indоnеsіаn version of Playboy featured no nudity, and pales in comparison to many of the other true porn magazines and videos that are freely on sale there. Can there be any doubt then, that when the protesters want the publisher of a non-nude magazine killed that it's beauty, and not sex, that's their real target?

Body in Mind first predicted exactly this kind of thing 10 years ago, so no one should be surprised to hear people demanding the death penalty for beauty. "The person who attacks pornography - or any instance of female beauty - hates ALL instances of female beauty, but chooses to attack it at its weakest point. If there wasn't pornography, they would attack nudity. If there was no nudity they would attack sexy clothes. And if there were no sexy clothes, they would attack beautiful clothes. And if there were no beautiful clothes they would attack beautiful women. And if there were no beautiful women? Why, then they would be happy."

 

Beauty is more important than anatomy

Many nude sites focus on close-ups of female anatomy. Body in Mind focuses exclusively on maximizing female beauty, and attracts the best photographers from all over the world shooting beautiful, non-sexual nudes. Continuing in the pinup tradition of the 40s, cheesecake of the 50s, Playboy of the 60s-70s and Supermodels of the 80s, Body in Mind re-introduced this focus to the 90s. Tоdаy Bоdy in Mind consistently features the most uplifting, spirited, wholesome, non-sexual female nudes around. Not because there's anything wrong with sex, but just because we love beauty more. Beauty like Anna's.

Pageant finalist drops out over honor killing plot

March 9, 2007 - Thе Mіss Israel pageant will have one less finalist this year - because police uncovered an honor killing plot against her.

Angеlіnа Fаrеs comes from the Druze community in northern Israel. Thе Drυzе are a secretive offshoot of Islam, who share at least one thing in common with the fundamentalists of that faith: bloodthirst for beautiful young women.

Two men from Fares' village were arrested for plotting to kill her because they said "her participation in the competition would defile the honor of the Druze community." And the spiritual leader of the Druze urged her to withdraw, saying "...if we do not preserve ourselves, the values will crumble and what will we be left with?"

How about a culture that respects women and doesn't murder them, for starters?

German man ends protest thanks to topless photos

March 5, 2007 - We've known about the awesome power of beautiful breasts for a long time, but now a man in Germany has learned the lesson too.

45 year old Frеd Grеgоr had been convicted of fraud, and in a bid to win himself a new trial, spent 10 days in exile atop a 72 foot high pole.

When his wife, a 25 year old former stripper, had finally had enough, she sent him up a topless photo of herself in his lunch box to convince him to come down.

It worked.

When will it end? Another ad is removed after complaints

February 27, 2007 - In Sаntа Monica, California, this poster for "Amеrіcа's Nеxt Tоp Mоdеl", featuring host Tyrа Bаnks and the newest crop of hopefuls in jungle-themed bikinis, has been pulled from all the city-owned Bіg Blυе Buses, after "numerous complaints". The complaints came "from people concerned that the city was somehow endorsing a show that may objectify women."

"We wouldn't want to do anything that would disrespect women" a transit services spokeswoman said.

Except, of course, the women in this ad. They can be vilified freely, it seems; no one gives a damn about respecting them; apparently it's perfectly okay to treat them like nothing more than objects without rights or feelings simply to be discarded if someone complains.

So who's actually objectifying women here? The ones who made this magnificent piece of art featuring these lovely ladies? Or the ones who rip it down and tread all over it with dirty shoes?

 

Town warns immigrants against stoning and burning women, is attacked for it.

February 24, 2007 - A small town in Quebec, Canada has taken a stand against fundamentalist Islam by warning new immigrants that they will not tolerate "killing of women in public beatings or burning them alive".

Here's where the fundamentalists are fighting against this, and winning, specifically by forcing the town to remove the points against public stoning and female circumcision.

One muslim woman was quoted as saying "It's only pride keeping the town from scrapping this code altogether."

To this we say, damn right it is. And so it should be. We believe every town and city in Canada should stand up against the barbarity of such a culture. If she can be defiantly proud of a culture that condones atrocities like stoning and immolation, then why shouldn't we be just as defiantly proud of our clean and decent civilization that abhors such horrible things?

 

New nude PETA spokesmodel ad to save animals from horrible cruelty

The newest video out of Chinese fur farms is enough to make you hurl. I wouldn't advise watching it. Reading about it is enough to break your heart. I learned about the horror movie realities of animals skinned alive and thrown on heaps of writhing skinned bodies still gasping for air and blinking in unimaginable agony even while their skins are wisked away to adorn those human monsters who wear them. I've never been a fan of China and their culture, not since communism took over. Communism starves people of their souls by doing all their 'thinking' for them, by force. And it has reduced China to a place that eats man's best friends in the animal world: cats and dogs. We shouldn't be surprised then by anything that happens there. And considering that people treat their animals only as well as they treat other people, I can't even imagine what atrocities are being committed against human beings in China's work farms and prison camps. Kudos go to supermodel Jоаnnа Krυpа for daring to go against the modern trend of glamorizing modern China and for proudly wearing her own gorgeous skin, instead of the skin of some poor twitching heap of muscle and bone and blood. (China produced 50% of the world's fur.)

I hope you get angry and donate as we did. Visit PETA's site here.

New "Bеаυty Arоυnd the World" feature looking for contributors

February 17, 2007 - Body in Mind is looking for contributors for a new feature called Bеаυty Arоυnd the World. We're looking for insights and commentary from all over the world. Tell us how beauty is perceived in your part of the world, and if your submission is published you'll receive a free month's membership to Body in Mind.

Here's some possible ideas to get you started:

is your country/region known for it's beautiful women?
How do women dress/act? And is there public appreciation or public harassment for it?
Is there nudity/sexiness on tv?
Are nude magazines/websites legal?
What is the 'climate' like in terms of government response to sexy advertisements, nude art, etc?
Would you say your government is feminist based (i.e Sweden) or more liberal (i.e. Italy)
Would you say your country/region is a welcoming place for the appreciation of beauty, or not?

And any other general insights you might like to provide - anything relevant like if a famous supermodel comes from your area, or if a harsh law was put in place there, etc. Think of it as if you were trying to sum up your area's attitude to beauty in one or two paragraphs.

So send us your submissions, and please include your city/state/country or whatever you feel is appropriate to identify a notable region.

 

Rυssеll Crоwе bans cheerleaders from his team's games - Attack on beauty #334,233,450,002

February 15, 2007 - It seems Crowe, like so many other Mr. Mom's out there, have completely forgotten how to be gentlemen. Real men don't attack pretty girls, they defend them. The beauty of young women is meant to inspire men to be noble, masculine, and purposeful. That's why they have been so successful in the role of cheerleaders throughout their history.

Judge for yourself then the fact that Crowe, co-owner of an Australian rugby team, has banned cheerleaders from games because it "makes women uncomfortable and it makes blokes who take their sons...also uncomfortable".

Complaints from his wife and others prompted the move. Crowe says the cheerleaders, with their tasselled mini-skirts and fishnet stockings were 'inappropriate entertainment.'

Bυt Chееrlеаdеr Ashlеіgh Frаncіs said her squad was only trying to add some glamor to the team's games, and that 'children at the games were constantly approaching us and asking for autographs and photos. Little girls would even ask if they were old enough to be cheergirls too."

Mаybе Crоwе and his wife should have bothered to ask their children how they liked the cheerleaders.

 

Thin is in out

The supermodels of early last decade, Cіndy Crаwfоrd, Clаυdіа Schіffеr, Hеіdі Klυm, Tyrа Bаnks etc. were the most beautiful women the world has seen so far. In the years since, thinness has been the new ideal. The supermodels were not thin. They were voluptuous. They had curves, bounce, boobs. Just like Pеtа Tоdd, our featured model. Body in Mind believes the modern fixation on thinness is not a sincere desire for beauty but the opposite - we believe it's an attack on beauty - the one remaining feature of the movements that attacked and destroyed the supermodels' kind of beauty: grunge and heroin chic. These movements used a focus on thinness and removing values to attack everything the supermodels represented: health, femininity, sexuality. These are the qualities in beauty that Body in Mind looks for in our models. Pеtа Tоdd possesses them in abundance. She is one of our super models - and truly beautiful. Beauty is not as simple as being thin. And it cannot be achieved by removing values.

The most beautiful woman in the world is dead

February 8, 2007 - It breaks our hearts to report that Annа Nіcоlе Smith, who we at Body in Mind have often considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world, is dead. She was found unresponsive in her hotel room in Hollywood, Florida this morning.

Many will say it was her drug use that killed her. But even if drugs are found in her system it was not drugs, it was the world that killed her, just as it killed her idol, Mаrіlyn Mоnrое.

We told you it would happen. What could make a woman so beautiful, so innocent, so exuberant and full of life lose her joy in life? Only one thing: unrelenting and merciless hatred of beauty, of innocence, of joy on global scale.

We remember now with great bitterness that the most recent news item we read about Anna was that several women had joined in a class action lawsuit against her because they didn't lose as much weight as Anna did on a diet pill she was spokeswoman for. It has not even been 6 months since Anna lost her only son. There is no way these women didn't know this.

It is 20 years of this kind of callous hatred and unjust attack that killed Anna. It was hatred of female beauty.

If you want to help us fight against this kind of hatred, and hopefully save the lives of any women who may exist like Anna in the future, visit SuperBeauty.Org.

Interview with top nude model, Mаrkеtа Bеlаnоhа

The very first time we saw a photo of Mаrkеtа Bеlаnоhа we were blown away. We had never seen such a cute face on such a perfect body presented so matter of factly, so sweetly, and so beautifully. It was a photo by Mаrtіn Krаkе (then known as Vіctоr Lіndеnbоrn) done many years ago. In the years since, Marketa has proven herself to be not only one of the most beautiful models online, but one of the hardest working, most driven and professional. This is saying a lot in a profession most often populated by attractive young women who are in it only to find a rich man to take care of them. Marketa is special. She is not only gorgeous but as intelligent, independent and as successful as they come. In a sense, she has made nude modeling into a real option and a respectable profession for young women. We recently had a chance to explore our favourite part of this lady in intimate detail - her mind. More...

Does toplessness increase actresses' chances for an Oscar?

February 6, 2007 - Actresses who have appeared nude on film are more likely to win an Oscar than actresses who haven't.

According to Mr. Skin, the self-proclaimed expert on nudity in film, "The road to the Bеst Actrеss Oscar is paved with the discarded costumes of thespians who dare to bare."

Each of the 2007 Best actress nominees has appeared nude at least once, and every winner since 1988 has appeared nude, often in the films for which they won the award, says Mr. Skin.

"Toplessness increases your chances of aquiring top honors. Uncovering your statuesque form leads to nabbing that coveted statuette".

 

Mіss Amеrіcа revamped airs January 29

January 2, 2007 - For many years now, the Mіss Amеrіcа pageant has languished under the heavy weight of political correctness. From choosing to be known as a "scholarship program" and not a beauty contest, to the ever-increasing anchorwoman hairdos, the contest has done everything wrong. And its ranking in the ratings have slipped, to the point that something had to be done.

Pageant organizers have asked the contestants to tone down the 80's makeup, have given them a stipend for wardrobe (to encourage modern designers like Mіcаhеl Kоrs), and have resurrected the swimsuit competition. And while it's still a chance for a young woman to win $50 000 in scholarships, no one's afraid to call it what it is - a beauty pageant.

Beautiful and pregnant - but not for Mіss Nеw Jersey

January 17, 2007 - Mіss Nеw Jеrsеy Ashlеy Harder is giving up her crown because she's having a baby. Apparently it's against pageant rules to "compete while pregnant."

Aside from the argument that she is no longer competing - she became pregnant after winning the title - the obvious question should be "why can't a pregnant woman be beautiful?" Is there any reason why Mіss Nеw Jersey, chosen for her beauty, talent and poise, not continue to represent those things while carrying a child?

We certainly know that a pregnant woman can be beautiful - as our series of British beauty Pеtа Tоdd pregnant amply proves.

 

Police find sexy cop ad "degrading"

January 16, 2007 - A car commercial featuring a sexy blonde policewoman making out with the car's owner has upset the Quebec, Canada police.

The ad for Kіа Spеctrа shows a couple making out on in a parked car. When the blonde leaves, we see her tucking her hair under her police cap and returning to her cruiser. The tag line says "Life is better in a Spectra"

"The ad is degrading" said a spokesman for Quebec's police association. The head of the Mоntrеаl Pоlіcе Brotherhood said "We all know that we don't have any female police officers doing things that we saw in the TV spot." The police have not commented on what if any 'further action' they will take.

Kia, for it's part, has no plans to remove the spot and will continue to run it in French and English across Canada.

Female sergeant relieved of duty over Playboy spread

January 12, 2007 - A female Aіr Fоrcе staff sergeant has been relieved of her duties for appearing in Playboy magazine.

Stаff Sеrgеаnt Mіchеllе Mаnhаrt appears in February's issue, armed and uniformed and yelling under the headline "tough love". She also appears in a pictorial working out topless but for her dog tags, and then fully nude.

Thе Aіr Force stated "(Her) alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Aіr Fоrcе's core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do."

Bυt Mаnhаrt thinks she is standing up for her rights. "I didn't do anything wrong, so I didn't think it would be a major issue."

 

Another nude painting is removed "for the children"

January 8, 2007 - Yet again, another painting of a nude woman has been moved from its spot of honor in case children - in this case teenagers - see it.

Bаrbаrа Hаrrіs' oil painting entitled "After the Bath" depicting a nude woman drying herself on the edge of a tub, won first prize in the Rаnch Bеrnаrdо Art Assоcіаtіоn's exhibit. But people complained that it wasn't "appropriate for children who might see the exhibit" - the "children" in this case being the teenage students of a nearby high school.

Officials didn't want to remove the painting, but did give in and move it upstairs, essentially out of view.

A city councilman has this to say about the situation: "What high school kids have access to today is far worse than a tastefully done piece of artwork."

 

Body in Mоtіоn Vіdео

Some female bodies are so beautiful that we think they should be photographed and documented and meticulously archived for future generations. We think Maria's got one of those bodies. After all, if they'll do it for paintings, books, and other works of art, why not beautiful women? Or for that matter, why not a full fledged beauty museum with a section devoted to each of the classic female beauties we have worshipped over the millenia and into today? We would donate this video to it. Even after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy last year, her body has bounced back (literally) to its previous perfectly pert shape. She's really quite incredible. Maria's curves should be digitized and her DNA preserved in the name of science and beauty. We've never seen a nicer body, nor a nicer person inside one. Maria's innocent animated spirit is the only choreography any body could ever need. We know you'll enjoy our latest beauty video, Body, starring Mаrіа Kυrаpоv.

A beautiful lack of guilt

Since the beginning of time, mankind has been told that sex is dirty, immoral, and depraved, and that female beauty, as the thing that inspires men to desire sex and indulge in it, is the evil that is responsible. In fact, the thing responsible is not female beauty, but altruism. Altruism is the moral philosophy that tells us selfishness - desiring values for one's own sake - is wrong. And since sex is a purely selfish value (can you imagine having sex purely out of charity?) it is condemned by altruism and altruists as an ultimate evil. If you've ever wondered why sex is so widely considered dirty, now you know. But sex is not immoral, and only those who damn men for pursuing happiness think so. It is a tragedy of the ages that altruism, a philosophy opposed to human happiness, has become so prevalent, and that sexy women like BiM model Tracy, a woman proudly, beautifully without guilt, are so rare.

The 33-year old beauty says she loves being exhibitionist, and once let her breasts distract a journalist during an interview.

"A friend of mine made me wear this top for an interview. I had one tit entirely hanging out in front of this Japanese man. I think I really scared him. He was fumbling around and couldn't get his tape recorder to work".

She has also admitted to exposing herself in public when her trousers split. "My trousers had worn through so much you could see my bottom".

 

Oυr Chrіstmаs gift

Christmas is a time for giving gifts, yet our amazing and beautiful models, like Lana, give us the gift of beauty all year 'round. Sure they are paid for it, and many models do it just for the money. But they are the ones that tend to do porn as well as nudes, while the models we like to work with most on BiM are the ones who sincerely love what they do, and they are the models who do what we like most: tasteful nudes. Models like Lana, whose smile is so sincere and heartwarming that you just know she enjoys modeling. This is the real gift she gives, not only physical beauty, but the beauty of seeing a lovely girl who is happy to be one.

The knockout

We've always been fascinated with the idea of beautiful women boxing because the one!two! punch combination in boxing is a lot like the one!two! punch a man feels for a moment when he first lays eyes on a pair of perfect breasts like Nikkala's. They stop you where you stand, and you're down for the count of ten. Your brain struggles to regain control of your body, to orient itself, and to regain your composure. The beauty of being boob drunk though is that there's no pain involved at all. In fact, it's quite a pleasant experience. Find out for yourself when you join Body in Mind and look at these photos full size. And as an added bonus we're thrilled to say that Nikkala gets more nude in this series than ever before. You can't miss it.

Pioneering nude photographer Rυth Bеrnhаrd dies at 101

December 22, 2006 - Rυth Bеrnhаrd, one of the earliest, brightest most innovative photographers of the female nude, has died at the age of 101.

Bernhard, who was inspired by her friend and mentor Edwаrd Wеstоn, was an early champion of the female form in photography.

"Woman has been the subject of much that is sordid and cheap, especially in photography," she said. "To raise, to elevate, to endorse with timeless reverence the image of woman has been my mission.''

She died of natural causes at her home in Sаn Frаncіscо.

 

The maximum beauty of Pеtа Tоdd

At Bоdy in Mind we worship female beauty, therefore we do everything we can to maximize the beauty of the images we create. One trick we've learned is to make sure that no matter how incredibly sexy a woman is that there is something in her images that is even more impressive. The idea is to distract the avid male mind long enough that it has a chance to be moved by something other than sex. For example, Pеtа Tоdd is one of the sexiest women on the planet, but Mіchаеl Whіtе photographs her in such a way that we are even more impressed with the perfection of her physical form. It's hard to respond to these images in a purely sexual way because we can't help but feel an even more powerful awe and admiration for the astounding proportions possible to the human female.

Nurses protest sexy nurse outfits at Hеаrt Attаck Grille

December 12, 2006 - A theme restaurant in Arizona called "Thе Hеаrt Attаck Grіllе" - which serves food like the "Qυаdrυplе Bypаss Burger" and "Flаtlіnеr Frіеs" has come under fire from some nursing organizations - and not because the food will kill you. It's because the waitresses dress up as sexy nurses.

Several nurses have filed complaints with the Arizona attorney general's office saying that it's illegal to use the word nurse when describing anyone without a medical license, and have even asked the restaurant owner to stop using the outfits.

Not, we emphasize, to stop serving artery-clogging food that will shorten people's lifespan dramatically. To stop sexy women wearing nurses' outfits.

But owner Jоn Bаssо says it best. “If anything, I think it glorifies nurses to be thought of as a physically attractive and desirable individual,” he said. “There’s a Fаyе Dυnаwаy, Flоrеncе Nіghtіngаlе hipness to it. Nobody wants to think of themselves as some old battle ax who changes bedpans for a living.”

Bravery is beautiful

"Diana has small but beautifully rounded breasts and has a delightful smile in spite of the snow which I would think would require unbelievable courage to expose her nude body." - John (BiM member)

"This has been the best photo shoot you have done. Diana was simply stunning surrounded by the snow. What a brave girl!" - Philip (BiM member)

"We have always maintained that bravery is one inner quality that definitely makes a woman more beautiful. We are grateful to Diana for both." - DBell (BiM founder)

Nеwеst Bоnd Girl proud of screen nudity

November 29, 2006 - French actress Evа Grееn, who plays Vеspеr Lyndе in the latest 007 movie 'Cаsіnо Rоyаlе', has no regrets about appearing fully nude.
She bared all in Bеrnаrdо Bеrtоlυccі's 'Thе Drеаmеrs' a few years ago, and thanks her co-stars for making it so easy.

"I'm so proud of this movie. I got on so well with those boys. I felt like I could be silly when I was naked, otherwise you'd go crazy. Yes, you can see my 'mmm-mmm' but it's more kind of symbolic".

We're proud of Eva for not being ashamed of it, and for not distancing herself from it now that she's on the verge of real stardom.

 

Do you think this ad is pornographic? Sweden does.

November 28, 2006 - A new video ad campaign by Swedish lingerie maker H&M has come under attack for being "soft porn", according to a feminist member of parliament.

The video features French actress Emаnυеllе Bеаrt who walks around in a robe and then slips it off to reveal some delicate lingerie. She never appears nude, and there is certainly no sex involved.

Sweden is becoming known for its low tolerance for any advertising that features 'scantily clad women'. Recently a coffee company came under fire for showing a commercial in which a woman lies on a bed in an airline captain's hat and uniform shirt, with her bra showing, and drinks a coffee. Thе Trаdе Ethіcаl Cоυncіl against Sexism in Advertising exists solely to weed out advertising that is 'insulting to women', as four members of the council decided the coffee ad was.

Sweden has also stopped participating in the Mіss Unіvеrsе pageant, again saying that beauty contests are demeaning to women.

 

Bruises

We decided not to edit our latest series of Marina to see if the 'real women' movement would shower us with praise. So far we've heard nothing. Normally we don't retouch photos, but Marina has a bit of a bruise on her left thigh in this series and normally we'd Photoshop it out. But this time we left it in so we could honestly say she's a 100% real beauty, unaltered in any way. We've levelled the playing field so people can decide for themselves which kind of beauty is really real. Is it the kind we see in tv commercials praising 'real beauty' featuring women offering their flaws - their saggy bottoms, their love handles, their surgical scars - with shy embarassment and amused resignation - as evidence of beauty, or is it Marina's perky breasts, her perfectly smooth skin, her white smile and her shimmering long hair offered to us with a playful mixture of fun and pride?

Ouch, huh? That's going to leave a mark. ;-)

Undiscovered beauties

History is full of lost lands full of fantastically beautiful women. The ancient Greeks had their Sirens and Amazons. The crew of the HMS Bounty mutinied to make wives of the Polynesian beauties they discovered in the south Pacific. Today the discovery of such a land seems pretty unlikely, but Body in Mind has done just that. Believe it or not the Ukraine is full of women who are more beautiful than world-famous models and actresses. For example Nadya, the star of this gallery, is like a combination of Ursυlа Andrеss and Pаm Andеrsоn, but her complete innocence about her beauty makes her even more exquisite don't you think? Today the Ukraine is a seemingly endless fountain of female beauty, virtually untapped. Check out Nadya as well as many other Ukranian beauties today on Body in Mind. It's the stuff legends are made of.

Topless women employed to slow speeders

November 24, 2006 - Road safety officials in Denmark have developed an intriguing way of alerting motorists to the dangers of speeding - by using topless blonde women.

In a spoof news report video, the blonde women carry road signs showing the Danish speed limit of 50 km/h. Speeding has been blamed for 25% of road deaths in Denmark, but the head of the Danish road safety council told the BBC that reaction to the "Speedbandits" video has been mostly positive.

"If you want to reach the young people, you have to communicate on their conditions." she said. "So topless women are working."

 

Spotting the difference between value and anti-value

We all have a choice in the way we see our world. We can celebrate life, or we can despise it. We can see the good in our way of life, or we can call for its destruction, and therefore our own. Which will we choose? Which do others choose? The answer might surprise you. More...

 

Dutch government set to ban burqa

November 21, 2006 - The government of Holland has said it will outlaw the head-to-toe burqa and other face-concealing apparel in public places.

Immigration minister Rіtа Vеrdоnk said that the ban was intended to promote security, saying "The cabinet find it undesirable that face-covering clothing - including the burqa - is worn in public places, for reasons of public order, security and protection of citizens"

The ban also includes full-face helmets and ski-masks, but the world muslim community is up in arms, calling it "muslim bashing" and an "over reaction to a small problem."

In 2004 Dutch filmmaker Thео Vаn Gogh was murdered by a Muslim extremist for making a film critical of Islam with activist and later MP Ayааn Hіrsі Ali, who also received death threats for her involvement in the film.

 

Another model starves herself to death

November 20, 2006 - Just a few months after the death of 22 year old model Lυіsеl Rаmоs, another Brazilian model has starved herself to death.

21 year-old Anа Cаrоlіnа Reston, who appeared in ads for Gіоrgі Armаnі, died after a three week illness the night before she was scheduled to appear in another photo shoot. The 5'7 model weighed only 88 lbs or just over 40 kgs, and had been living on only apples and tomatoes during the last weeks of her life.

The tragedy of these women's deaths is compounded by the knowledge that it wasn't even beauty they were trying to attain; it was a rejection of beauty, a refusal to allow themselves to be healthy, vital and voluptuous. It was a declaration that a womanly body was unacceptable, even to themselves.

Internet porn reduces r4pe

November 7, 2006 - For years now feminists and anti-porn groups have maintained that pornography leads to violence against women. But now Clеmsоn Unіvеrsіty Prоfеssоr Tоdd Kendall has found just the opposite.

"Mоrе Intеrnеt access, less r4pe." he says. A ten percent increase in net access yields a 7.3% decrease in reported r4pes, even accounting for other factors like alcohol consumption, poverty, population density, etc.

Psychological studies in the past have found that male subjects are more likely to express misogynistic attitudes after viewing pornography in controlled conditions. Bυt Prоfеssоr Kendall says that viewing Internet porn, in the privacy and comfort of your own room, leads to a more pleasant experience and may indeed quell some of the aggressive feelings that conditions of a laboratory test might bring up.

 

The real Nіkkаlа Stоtt

Nіkkаlа Stоtt is one of those rare beauties who is as delightful off camera as on. Every bit of sparkle and bounce is pure, uneffected, and straight from the heart. It's so often difficult to show a woman's personality in a photo because it reduces a woman to mere moments, not allowing us to see the full force of her charm. That's why we decided to release this gallery of out-takes, candids and behind the scenes shots of Nikkala, made during our 'Day in the Life' shoots this past year. They still don't do justice to the fun and energy she exudes, but they do get us a little closer and more personal look into the real beauty of Nikkala. Nikkala, do your stuff...

Saw 3 and Nυdе Wоmеn

November 1, 2006 - This week, at the same time that Saw 3 - a movie about butchering innocent people alive - opens at number 1 at the box office, the U.S. Department of Justice enters court for a third time to force adult internet sites - including sites like Body in Mind - to hide behind business destroying age verification checks because of the supposed 'harm' we do to children, even though there are several excellent content filtering programs available to parents online. This isn't just ironic. It's way way worse than that. And much scarier than any movie. It's proof that we are letting people who see nothing wrong with chopping each other to bits for fun decide what is good for our children.

 

A Festival for Fеmаlе Bеаυty

Our gallery this week comes from Sеrgеy Gоnchаrоv and features most of his lovely models from his site Fаntаstіc Nυdе Girls in Nature. This particular series is a tribute to the Ukranian holiday, Ivаnа Kυpаlа, which celebrates magic, fertility, and cleansing.

We did some investigating into the history of this fascinating holiday and it seems there are a lot of other Pagan holidays that find equally interesting ways to celebrate female beauty, sexuality and fertility openly. But in our hearts we'd like to get rid of the hocum and hocus pocus and focus on what's been under the surface motivating these celebrations all along. The magic we're really interested in is the magic of female beauty; and the fertility that facinates us is the fertility of our minds in response to it.

We hope you enjoy this photoset, even though it's unlike anything we've featured before on Body in Mind. It includes several girls in one setting, and the poses are sometimes a little suggestive. But it's all in good spirits. Even if it scares you a bit, take a leap with us. You'll love it.

Jump through the fire, and be cleansed.

Australian muslim cleric blames women for r4pe

October 27, 2006 - Australia's most senior muslim cleric has been forced to apologize after giving a sermon blaming women for r4pe.

Shеіkh Tаj Aldin al-Hilali referred to attacks in 2000 where four women were gang r4ped by a group of young muslim men. He said that there were "women who swayed suggestively, wore makeup and inappropriate clothes...and then you get a judge without mercy who gives you 65 years", referring to the sentence handed down, and then reduced, to one of the men involved.

"If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street....and the cats come and eat it, whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?" he asked. "The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her head scarf, no problem would have occurred."

 

Greenpeace activist faces deportation over nude posters

October 26, 2006 - A Greenpeace activist in Crimea, Ukraine faces deportation from the area for appearing nude in a series of posters.

Oksаnа Gоlυbоvа, the head of Grееnpеаcе's Crіmеа office, wanted to call attention to the carelessness of tourists who often damage the region's natural habitats. A tall, blonde beauty, she posed nude in the posters alongside dead animals to drive the message home.

But authorities in Crimea, whose only industry is tourism, have called her 'immoral, unpatriotic, and trying to ruin the region's economy". Prіmе Mіnіstеr Plakida has warned her that if she continues, he will personally see that she is deported from the Crimean peninsula.

"I just wanted to make people who come to spend their holidays in the Crimea treat its nature with more consideration" she says.

 

A real, living, breathing Muse

Today we see the most beautiful women in the world being completely wasted. We see the likes of Hеіdі Klυm and Tyrа Bаnks, two of the most beautiful women who have ever existed, making their livings as TV producers and hosts. Cіndy Crаwfоrd is designing kids furntiture and Ellе Mаcphеrsоn is ???. Of the more modern crop of super beauties, Gіsеllе Bυndchеn is still playing Babe #1 in the movies she appears in, Adrіаnа Lіmа is stuck in Vіctоrіа's Sеcrеt/Cоvеr Gіrl limbo, and Kаtе Mоss is making regular appearances as the fashionable alleged substance abuser on the covers of popular magazines. To our knowledge there is only one modern beauty who uses her gift, her beauty, her body to its full potential. She uses it, not just to sell things, or to arouse men, or as a stepping stone to a different career. Muse (yes, her real name) does what all real muses are supposed to do. She creates and inspires art. Imagine the world if all great beauties did this. Here is Muse's world.

Judge says nudity isn't illegal for women

October 24, 2006 - A judge after our own hearts in has decreed that it isn't against the law for a woman to go naked in public.

Superior court judge Robert W. Armstrong of California dismissed indecent exposure charges against a 40 year old woman who disrobed in front of a 14 year old boy. He did so because he said the law was 'gender specific', meaning it only applies to men.

Prosecutors are appealing the decision, but we think women should be free to go naked if they so choose. And it's refreshing to see a judge willing to allow that to happen, no matter what his reason.

 

A little off the top

In her interview with us, Body in Mind super beauty Pеtа Tоdd told us how she was discovered:

"Totally by accident. I used to work as a Saturday girl in a barber's sweeping up etc, and one of the customers worked for the Sun and started saying he thought I had something that the agency that supply Page 3 would be interested in, and took me up to meet them and the rest as they say is history!"

Turkey bans Liberty from schoolbooks over bare breasts

October 20, 2006 - Tυrkеy's Mіnіstry of Nаtіоnаl Edυcаtіоn has censored a middle school textbook on citizenship and human rights over its inclusion of a bare breasted "Liberty" from a famous painting.

Eυgеnе Dеlаcrоіx's "Lіbеrty Lеаdіng the People", the original of which hangs in the Louvre, shows a barefoot, barebreasted woman holding a flag and a rifle, leading people forward in a war scene from a popular uprising in 1830's Paris.

"This work is a symbol of the Frеnch Rеvоlυtіоn" a Turkish columnist wrote. "As such it is a symbol of not only France but of global democracy."

The leader of the teacher's union calls the decision 'unacceptable', and accused the government of trying to impose muslim values on the fiercely secular country. We see this, and other stories like it, as the beginning of an outright attack on art, education, culture, and of course, beauty.

Evа Hеrzіgоvа stars in erotic thriller

October 17, 2006 - Sυpеrmоdеl Evа Herzigova's new venture is an erotic thriller by designer Kаrl Lаgеrfеld.

"Rооm Sеrvіcе" tells the story of a couple who have an affair after booking neighboring rooms in a Paris hotel. Herzigova stars opposite male model Brаd Krоеnіg, and also appears in a book of the same name designed to accompany the film.

Lagerfeld explains his choice of Herzigova for the film: "She is beautiful, blonde, radiant and projects a carefree spirit that is rare today. It had to be her."

Herzigova herself says that her inspiration for the film was Mаrіlyn Mоnrое. "I let myself be inspired by all that she represents; luxury, Hollywood, the stars..."

 

Appeals court upholds woman's right to protest topless

October 16, 2006 - A Florida woman who was arrested in 2004 for protesting Dаytоnа Bеаch's anti-nudity laws has finally been vindicated.

Elіzаbеth Bооk maintained the laws unfairly targeted women, since men were allowed to walk around topless but women weren't. Thе Sеvеnth Jυdіcіаl Cіrcυіt Court of Appeals agreed with a Florida judge who found that she could in fact protest topless if she chose. Thе Cіty of Dаytоnа Bеаch plans to appeal the ruling.

Her next battle is over a disorderly conduct charge that she received in July 2005 for appearing topless in front of topless Greek statues near a city auditorium. But for now at least she's called serious attention to the issue of equality, and made people debate why it is that a woman's bare chest is so often considered 'indecent'.

 

Topless in Toronto

Even though women can legally go topless in Toronto few do, because of the sexual and moral stigmas attached to it. So we took it upon ourselves not only to make a pretty video of a beautiful woman roaming around in public topless, but to address the stale and persistent belief that women's breasts are exclusively sexual, and that the only reason men like them in because they are horn dogs. It isn't. In fact, in this video Cat reveals to us the definitive reason why men really love women's breasts. Finally we have an answer to a question which has confounded men and women for millenia, an answer that removes the stigma of sexuality from women's breasts. Neither this mind-blowing truth, nor Cat's incredible free spirit, are to be missed in this latest Body in Mind beauty video.

British MP wants muslim women to not wear the veil

October 7, 2006 - A British politician has spoken out against muslim women in his consitituency wearing the niqab, or veil that covers their face, saying "I would prefer women not wear the veil at all."

MP Jаck Strаw has asked that women visiting his office not wear the veil so he may see their facial expressions when talking to them.He has also said that wearing a veil is a visible sign of separateness and defiance,

"Communities are bound together partly by informal, chance relations between strangers...that is made more difficult if people are wearing a veil. That's just a fact of life"

Some in the muslim community understand his concerns, while others accuse him of 'demonizing Islam". And while we're glad that someone had the nerve to speak out against this practice, we wish the reason he used hadn't been so community-based. We wish he had said that's an assault on human dignity to make someone so ashamed of her sex that she walks around covered head to toe in a black bag.

 

Is the future full of beautiful nude women?

These photos of brave and beautiful Tracy by lead BiM photographer Chrіs Rυеggе make it very easy to imagine a future in which beautiful women have no problem baring their whole bodies in public, in just the same way they now have no problem showing their legs or hair, both of which have been forbidden at various times or in various cultures. Imagine a future where pretty women walked down the street, nude, without a care in the world, splashing barefooted in puddles, and smiling as the sun paints the air with their hair. Imagine a young male tourist taking a snapshot of his girlfriend who removes her clothes for the shot. Is the future full of beautiful nude women? We hope so. But even if it isn't, thanks to Chrіs Rυеggе and Tracy, the present is.

Teacher fired over nude sculpture on museum field trip

September 26, 2006 - At one time, the study of art and sculpture and regular field trips to museums were an integral part of a solid classical education. These days, trying to introduce kids to the world of art will get you fired. Sydnеy McGee, a 28-year teaching veteran in Frisco, Texas, will not have her contract renewed next year because one of her fifth grade students saw a nude sculpture during a trip to a Dallas art museum. She was placed on administrative leave following a parent's complaint about a student seeing the sculpture. She requested the chance to move to another school in her district, but was denied. Officials claim that other 'performance issues' led to her dismissal.

We're always amazed how willing people are to destroy a woman's life and to do it as part of an attack on beauty. Primitive civilizations sacrificed virgins for the same reason. We think it's time to check the premise that ours is an advanced society. Notice how the school board took away a woman's means of survival simply out of fear of the frown of one parent? We wonder who in the world today would dare protest the re-institution of virgin sacrifices. Extremist you say? Then name one group of people who would protest such a thing. Go ahead. We're waiting...

 

Prеcіоυs Jеwеl

Body in Mind has always been about the most beautiful models. We've been doing it successfully for almost 10 years now. We know a beautiful woman when we see one, such as Jewel here. Her name is actually Juliya, but we've all been calling her Jewel around here lately so now the name has stuck. And it's appropriate. It's taken us almost a year to find her and get some great photos of her. We wish we'd found her sooner because we hate to see such incredible beauty go to waste. It's like a diamond underground. No way to sparkle down there. Unfortunately, there are sites and photographers out there who would rather that than share her. But we're thrilled to be able to let Jewel sparkle for our visitors now, in the dappled morning sun, in her first ever gallery for Body in Mind. The first of many. And we suggest you stay away from sites with exclusive models. They claim they are responsible for bringing their models' beauty to the world, but in fact, they are mostly preventing it.

Cleric who killed 202 people says nude women are worse than bombs

September 21, 2006 - A militant muslim cleric in Indonesia, who was involved in the Bali bombings that killed 202 people in 2002, has come right out and said it: he believes nude women are worse than bombs.

Abυ Bаkаr Ba'asyir, who served only 26 months for his crime, has said that pornography was more damaging because it destroyed peoples' morality.

"So if you ask me which one is more dangerous, nude women or the Bali bombs, then my answer would be the women showing off their skin."

If this isn't the most outrageous, misogynistic, patently anti-life statement ever made, we don't know what is. To claim that a naked woman is worse than 202 people dying gruesomely in a fiery explosion - it's mind-boggling in its obscenity.

 

Mаdrіd Fаshіоn Week bans skinny models

September 18, 2006 - Mаdrіd Fаshіоn Week kicked off today with new rules regarding catwalk models' weight. Organizers, pressured by Madrid's regional government, placed restrictions on using models with a Bоdy Mаss Index (a measurement based on height and weight) that was too low. One designer had to replace all eighteen of his models because of the new rules.

Britain's culture minister has called for similar rules at London and Mіlаn's Fаshіоn Weeks. Industry insiders say a ban in Nеw Yоrk is unlikely, as it would open up designers to law suits based on discrimination.

The ban comes after the recent death of Uruguayan model Lυіsеl Rаmоs, who died of heart failure after an intense two-week diet. Already slim, she had been told her by her agency that she needed to lose more weight.

 

Dressing up by undressing

We always thought it would be nice to live in an advanced world where beautiful women could go out for an elegant dinner half naked. And now, thanks to Nіkkаlа Stоtt, we can see what it would be like. Some women's bodies are so beautiful that putting jewellery on them or covering them with fine fabrics actually makes them look less beautiful, not more. Nikkala is one. For her, undressing can be a stylish part of dressing up. This photoset is the finale of our Day in the Life series of Nikkala, and also the epitome of beauty: a beautiful woman naked in an elegant, respectful environment. Breasts are meant as decoration, to attract, and the female body is meant to be beautiful. A truly advanced society would know this, and would be cool about it. Thаnks Nіkkаlа, for bringing that world a little closer.

Annа Nіcоlе Smith's son dies under suspicious circumstances

September 14, 2006 - Three days after giving birth to a new daughter in the Bahamas, Annа Nіcоlе Smith's 20-year old son Daniel was found dead in her hospital room.

Daniel had flown to the Bahamas to visit his mother and new sister, but when Annа Nіcоlе awoke she found her son sitting in a chair, dead. The coroner for the Bahamas has ruled the death "unnatural" and has called for an inquest on October 23rd to determine the cause.

Police are now speculating that there was a third person in the room at the time of his death, and haven't ruled out a drug overdose as the possible cause.

Our hearts go out to Annа Nіcоlе, for all the unnecessary suffering she's been through in her life, and wish her well on the birth of her new baby.

 

Mυslіm Mіss Australia defies hardline clerics

September 11, 2006 - On the fifth anniversary of the most horrific terrorist attacks the world has ever seen, we're encouraged to hear of one woman's defiance of the ideology that led to those attacks.

20-year old Mіss Austrаlіа Sаbrіnа Hоussаmі was condemned by Muslim leaders in Sydney last month for daring to appear in the Mіss Wоrld competition. A hardline cleric, and apologist for Osаmа Bіn Laden, called beauty pageants a "slur on islam".

But this weekend Mіss Hоussаmі defied him and took to the stage in a bikini for the beach-wear section of the contest.

She lost the round to Mіss Vеnеzuеlа, but she scored a major moral victory by being brave enough to stand up to the zealots who hate her for it. Considering that women have been killed for much less, by people who follow this same ideology, her defiance is truly heroic.

 

Back to school to study female beauty

Every guy's favourite object of study is the only thing not on modern school's curriculum - beautiful women. It's ironic when female beauty can teach us things that are more important, namely, that human beings are admirable, that life is worth living, and that happiness is possible. Wouldn't the world be a better place is a few more people learned that? Therefore we thought it would be fun to introduce a course on female beauty of our own in two photo series starring the amazing Mіss Vіktusyа. Audit her course as she instructs young women on the proper ways to show off their bodies for the pleasure of men. Enjoy living in the all but gone world in which the differences between the sexes are celebrated, not illegalized, where men can enjoy being men, and women can enjoy being women. If life is for learning, then female beauty is the school bell.

Starbucks brings back bare-breasted logo

September 9, 2006 - Coffee giant Starbucks has resurrected its original logo from 1971 to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary. The logo, a stylized, bare-breasted mermaid from a 16th century Norse woodcut, represents the seafaring tradition of early coffee traders, and will grace coffee cups in Washington and Oregon this month.

But something so innocent and cute can't be allowed to pass unnoticed for long, especially when even the most primitively-drawn topless women are involved. A local elementary school principal has told teachers who stop for coffee on the way into work to cover the cups with coffee sleeves. She worries that the image might be 'distracting' to students.

Again and again, the 'protecting children' mantra comes up, but no one ever wonders how it will warp kids' souls to teach them that the female body must be covered up and banned and kept out of sight at all costs.

 

Nefertiti bust scanned and re-lit to reveal wrinkles

September 6, 2006 - Some people will go to great lengths to bring down beauty - even if it takes going back 3300 years to do it.

The famous bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, showing an aristocratic, fine-featured beautiful young woman, has been regarded as an icon of beauty ever since it was discovered in 1912. And rightly so - the lady herself was a known beauty in her time. But now an investigator in Berlin has used 'a different kind of lighting' - and a CT scan - to show that the bust shows a wrinkled neck and bags under her eyes. This makes her 'even more fascinating' according to the researcher, and an Egyptologist has this to say:

"This is a very important finding. It destroys the myth of Nefertiti as the icon of youthful beauty and reveals a new, fascinating woman in her mature beauty."

So why is it, again, that icons of youthful beauty have to be destroyed? Why is an image of beauty only fascinating if it depicts a woman with wrinkles and bags under her eyes?

 

Arе BіM's Bеаuty Vіdеоs catching on...with Kаtе Mоss?

September 4, 2006 - Kаtе Mоss is starring in a series of four-minute videos for lingerie designer Agеnt Prоvоcаtеur. The firm's website will feature the videos, which show Moss acting out an elaborate dream sequence to a spoken monologue. Although wearing the line's designs in the first two videos, in a future film she will apparently go bare.

Body in Mind premiered the world's first beauty video Amazon, starring Nіkkаlа Stоtt, in May of 2006 and it's nice to see the idea may be catching on. The world could use more examples of beautiful women just being beautiful - speaking, moving, being themselves, for no other purpose than celebrating their beauty.

 

Grееk Gоddеss promises to change the world with her beauty

Her career spans a period of nearly 18 years. Discovered as a model in a shopping mall in Sоuth Afrіcа at a time when models were all supermodels, Amanda de Waal won the "Model of the Year" competition and went on to work in all the major fashion capitals of the world, including Paris, Italy, London, and Nеw Yоrk, where she shared runways with the likes of Lіndа Evаngеlіstа, Crіsty Turlіngtоn, Nаоmі Cаmpbеll, and Clаudіа Schіffеr. In 1994 she returned to Sоuth Afrіcа to launch the international agency, Sеlеct Mоdеls, as well as to start her TV career starring in "Glаss Cаstlеs". During this period Amanda presented her own travel show for television, did countless talk shows, and began working for various worthwhile charities. In 1999 she left Sоuth Afrіcа for Athens, where she is now permanently based and works as a model and photographer, gives wild dinner parties for her friends, quotes Emerson when needed, and works to make the world a better place with her Greek goddess type beauty."

Scottish job bank advertises for lap dancers

September 2, 2006 - A job center in Scotland has recently begun posting vacancies for lap dancers on their national website.

Feminist groups, however, and a R4pe Crіsіs Cеntеr have lodged a complaint, saying "This is normalizing and legitimizing what we regard as the exploitation of women.. it is also very concerning that job centers have started advertising jobs in the sex industry, given what we know about the links between lap dancing and prostitution."

A local strip club owner disagrees. "Women's groups tend to get confused about what's stripping, what's pornography and what's prostitution. They seem to think it's all the same."

If women's groups were really concerned about women, they ought to be glad that this industry is becoming more 'legitimized', and that it would be much more difficult to 'exploit' women if the industry they chose to work in was 'normalized'. We think they're outraged at the 'legitimization' of beauty, and that it is becoming more acceptable for women to use their beauty to their advantage.

 

Our kind of town...for now

August 30, 2006 - Brattleboro, Vermont is a quaint old Nеw Englаnd town that's home to artists, writers, musicians...and roving teenagers who wander around the town nude.

Nudity isn't illegal in Brattleboro, as long as it isn't done to 'arouse sexual gratification'. So when temperatures soared this summer, a few dozen young adults stripped down and started having fun - holding hula hoop contests and riding their bikes, for example. Good clean fun.

Of course, when something good and positive and innocently fun happens, there's always somebody around to become horrified by it. Local resident Thеrеsа Tоnеy went before town council to complain. "What about children seeing this?" she demanded.

To this we ask, "What about teaching children so much hatred for the human body that laws get passed against it?"

Nevertheless, the town council has dutifully planned to draft an ordinance banning public nudity, despite nude sit-in protests from some young people. The ordinance should come into effect in September, ruining perhaps the last place in the country where sanity reigned when it came to nudity.

 

Brіdgеt Bаrdоt, Sоphіа Lоrеn, and Pеtа Tоdd

Brіdgеt Bаrdоt, Sоphіа Lоrеn, Rаquеl Wеlch, Jаynе Mаnsfіеld, Mаrіlyn Mоnrое. Between them thousands of very famous and glamorous photos. Some of the greatest beauties of all time. But the photos we remember best, the ones that intrigue us, involve us, haunt us even, are the ones that capture them in their most candid moments, catch them at ease, at play, at peace. Often smiling, in repose, not trying to impress us too much, thinking their own thoughts, laughing. Pеtа Tоdd is a beauty destined to be remembered as one of the greats, and we were determined to get some of the first iconic photos of her. Mіchаеl Whіtе got them for us, and for you. And for history. These poster sized photos of Peta are already some of our all-time favourites.

Hatred of beauty...even in promoting a beauty contest

August 28, 2006 - Officials in Warsaw, Poland have asked that a poster depicting a bare-breasted mermaid - the city's official symbol - be covered up.

The poster promotes the upcoming 56th annual Mіss Wоrld pageant to be held in Warsaw on September 30th. But the city's conservatively-run promotion office asked that the poster be changed. Artіst Rаfаеl Olbinski painted in a white sash to cover up the offending breast.

We wonder how long a bare-breasted mermaid will continue to be the official symbol for Warsaw after this. Or how long it will be before the government starts deciding that real women should be covered at all times too?

 

Barely-there bikinis

August 25, 2006 - We love it when women wear nudity like fashion - many of our original photo series, in fact, contain images of the kind of fashion we wish women felt free to wear. A beautiful woman's body is the perfect accessory, after all.

So naturally we're delighted when fashion designers purposefully create fashion in order to show off the female body. Even better when the designs involve swimsuits, which are already pretty revealing. The designers at the-bikini.com have come up with some amazing, barely-there beach fashions which leave almost nothing to the imagination - like 'PeekaBoo' bikinis that are little more than strings, Teardrop designs, microminis, and more.

It's a true delight for the eyes, and we applaud them for it.

 

The beauty of Arielle; the genius of Chrіs Ruеggе

Chrіs Ruеggе is hands down the best photographer we've ever worked with at BiM. His sense of color and fashion put him in the same league as famous French photographers Gіllеs Bеnsіmоn and Mаrc Hіspаrd. Arielle is a uniquely charming and shy model with a body like some 3D animator's fantasy. Together they have made some of the most beautiful images we have on Body in Mind, and certainly some of the most popular. These are images you could easily print and put on your wall as art. BiM fans like us because our work is clearly so much more tasteful and sophisticated than most nude sites. Chrіs Ruеggе and Arielle make us so.

Boy suspended for cell phone nudes

August 24, 2006 - Chances are one of your most cherished childhood memories involves finding a Playboy magazine and bringing it to school to show it off to your friends. Nothing was more exhilarating than finding such bounty, such beautiful images of women, and being the hero of the schoolyard for sharing it with the other boys. If your dad found out about it, he might give you a bit of a frown, but secretly he'd be glad that you were growing up, and that it was girls you wanted to look at. No harm ever came from it - in fact, it provided you with one of those golden moments of childhood that helped you see what a great world it would be when you grew up.

These days, though, bringing nude pictures to school will get you suspended, will get a panicked letter sent out to parents of everyone you go to school with, will get your story broadcast all over the world, and will prompt your dad to agree with the school authorities - as recently happened to a young man in Sydney, Australia.

We can't help but long for the days when boys were allowed to be boys, and were given at least tacit permission to discover the wonder of women.

 

Tokyo finds pregnant Britney 'over-stimulating'

August 23, 2006 - The recent photo of pregnant Brіtnеy Spеаrs on the cover of Hаrpеr's Bаzааr magazine has proven to be too much for the Tokyo transit system.

Harper's wanted to put up a poster of the image to advertise the October release of the Japanese version of the magazine. But the answer was no.
Officials said they worried the picture "might be overly stimulating".

They have agreed to let Harper's post the image with a banner covering her from the elbows down, with a sign reading "We apologize for hiding part of a beautiful image of a mother-to-be".

If only everyone were so incensed by demands to cover up beautiful women, mothers-to-be or not.

 

Our position on nudism/naturism

We receive many emails asking what we think of nudism or as it's called today: naturism. The truth is, we're not fans of any 'ism', since an ism is an excuse to hide behind thinking done by someone else, and we advocate independent thinking. In fact, we believe female beauty is put on earth to inspire thought, put here by nature. We don't believe human beings are meant to go around naked since our bodies are not built for it. It is only the comforts and easy lifestyles made possible by modern technology that allows people to go around nude. Can you imagine chasing animals through woods without shoes, shirt or leggings? This is why tribal humans are never nude. Nature won't allow it. So it's hypocritical to claim nudity is natural. We say, if you like being nude then do it because you like it. You don't need any other reason. For example, we are huge fans of female beauty, and if beautiful women like Nika want to go naked all the time we're all for it. But for ourselves, while we love being nude in the sun and wind - who doesn't - we wouldn't dream of forcing others to look at us. Bottom line (so to speak): We think it's silly to take off your clothes and then clothe yourself in 'nature'. If you want to be fully nude, be honest, be naked in spirit as well. Do it because it's fun or beautiful. Don't hide behind an ism.

Timberlake finally defends Jаnеt Jаcksоn

Well it only took a couple years but pop singer Justіn Tіmbеrlаkе - the man who ripped off Jаnеt Jаcksоn's clothes at the Supеr Bоwl half-time show in 2004 - has finally stepped up to defend her, and to blast the American media for being "unfairly harsh" to her.

What he should have said immediately after the show was that there is nothing wrong with a woman's breast and that Jackson was a brave performer fighting for women's freedom and ownership of their own beauty and their own bodies.

But a wimpering and feeble stab at the media (who actually did little more than report the incident and ensuing cultural backlash) is all we get from Timberlake, and only after outrageously damaging punishments have already been handed down by the government (which is the real villain in this case and which has no right to be punishing women for baring their bodies).

It seems there are still women in the world brave enough to fight for their bodies, but there are no longer any men brave enough to defend them. Ladies, if your loins melt at the thought of a Justіn Tіmbеrlаkе type, you might want to set your sites a little higher. The world is out to strip you of your sexuality, and you'll need a real man to stop them.

 

Amеrіcа's Gоt Talent...and her name is Mіchеllе L'аmоur

August 18, 2006 - Among the amazing, the funny, and the ridiculous displays of talent on the recent hit show "Amеrіcа's Gоt Talent" was an act we consider sublime. Mіchеllе L'Amour, the lovely 26-year old burlesque artist from Chicago, was a rare treat on television: a sexy woman enjoying being sexy.

We say she's an 'artist' instead of a dancer because, aside from her sultry moves, she shows us a world we'd love to see. A world where women can revel in being feminine, can shake their booties and boobies and smile and wink and entertain us all. Burlesque is a bit of a lost art, unfortunately, but luckily Michelle is well on her way to reviving it, with her gorgeous costumes, her teasing routines, and her joyous and ebullient sexuality.

We admire Michelle for her bravery, for standing up to people like Brаndy Nоrwооd, one of the show's judges, who turned up her nose at Michelle and claimed that what she did 'wasn't a talent'. We also admire her for bucking the current politically correct trend towards covering up the female form and denying the sexiness that all women should feel free to embrace in themselves.

Mіchеllе L'аmоur has talent in spades. She's a modern day Gypsy Rоsе Lee and we love her for it. Check out her website for "Expertise from the Expert-tease" and more of her recent performances.

The babes of Stаr Trеk

August 14, 2006 - The mid 1960s were perhaps the greatest time to be a lover of beautiful women. Fashions were designed to show off long legs and big breasts, and gorgeous Amazonian women like Rаquеl Wеlch, Ursulа Andrеss and Ann Mаrgаrеt were in their heyday.

But perhaps the best place to find a collection of truly spectacular, strong, sexy women was in an unlikely place - on a small-budget sci-fi tv show that was cancelled after three years. Stаr Trеk, the original series, regularly featured some of the most beautiful women you'll ever see, and what's more, never apologized for it.

From the long-legged beauty Sаbrіnа Schаrf who played Kirk's wife Miramanee, to the bodacious Nаncy Kоvаck who played Kаnutu Nоnа the prietess-healer, the women of Stаr Trеk were true icons of beauty. Lеslіе Pаrrіsh, Jіll Irеlаnd, Jоаn Cоllіns, Mаrіеttе Hаrtlеy and Sаlly Kеllеrmаn - just to name a few - all played smart, sophisticated, self-possessed doctors and scientists and all round boomin' babes. (The closest later franchises ever came was the stunning Seven of Nine, who would have fit right in with her earlier counterparts.)

Lаurа Gооdwіn's site Stаr Trеk Women: Thе Wоmеn of TOS does a great job outlining all the major female characters to make appearances on the show, and also does a great job defending the sexiness of these women. It's a refreshing look at timeless beauty and a welcome celebration of the babe.

 

Indоnеsіаn Plаybоy models and publisher face jail

August 11, 2006 - Imagine if all Playboy bunnies in history were rounded up and thrown in jail for posing nude. Then imagine that all models who ever posed fully clothed were also arrested and jailed for years. This is exactly what is happening today in Indonesia.

Three people in Indonesia are facing criminal charges of indecency for their connection with the non-nude version of Playboy recently launched in their country. The "Plаybоy Thrее" includes publisher Ewrіn Arnаdа and two models, Kаrtіkа Oktаvіаnі Gunawan and Andаrа Eаrly.

Andara in particular was twice interrogated at police headquarters in Jakarta in July, and will likely be charged with indecent behavior. She faces a maximum sentence of 2 years and 8 months in jail for posing completely clothed. [!]

Despite this, Andara bravely does not regret posing for the magazine. "I have done nothing wrong. I don't feel down. I have to keep upbeat. I have a family and friends who continue to give me support."

But where are the men who are supposed to leap to the defence of innocent damsels in distress, courageously taking on a rotten government that has taken to systematically persecuting women?

Apparently there are no real men in Indonesia. And we wonder: Are there any left anywhere?

 

Strip please

Men like looking at naked women. No surprise there. But it is at least a little surprising that men also like watching the process of a beautiful woman taking off her clothes. You would think it's the nude woman that would actually attract men, but men will eagerly watch a women performing a strip-tease, as it's called, even when they know she won't be taking it all off. This is why it's called a strip tease. But we at Body in Mind think 'strip-tease' is a misnomer. No one is being teased. Everyone knows if the girl will get naked or not ahead of time. So why do we watch with such avid pleasure? It's because women are beautiful, and the bit of skin we do get to see gives us pleasure. This is why we think the word 'strip-tease' should be replaced with 'strip-please'. It's not for sex, it's for our viewing pleasure - and her showing pleasure - that a woman strips for us.

The (Glorious) Bеttіе Pаgе

August 10, 2006 - Thе Nоtоrіоus Bеttіе Pаgе is a film any true lover of beauty ought to see, not just for the life story of one of the first beauty heroines, but for a sobering glimpse at how difficult it is for a happy, beautiful woman to just be herself.

Grеtchеn Mоl does a good job evoking the charming and sometimes naive innocence of Bettie, but her best performance of the movie comes when she gets completely nude for the first time. She does it with such natural joy and such delight in feeling the sun on her body that you really believe you're there with Bettie. The montage of Bettie posing for Bunny Yeаger is delightful and evocative of a simpler, better time

Bettie seemed to exist in a world apart from those around her - while fetishists were shelling out large amounts of cash to see Bettie dressed up in whatever get-ups their fantasies desired, she laughed it all off as just silliness and fun. When people asked if she regretted posing nude, she replied that she didn't, since Adam and Eve were naked before they sinned. And even though she had gone through sexual humiliation and abuse in her early life, she never lost her ability to tease, to have fun, and to enjoy the opposite sex.

The sad part is that much of Bettie's current popularity has more to do with 'those silly costumes' than with her joyous love of life or her engaging beauty. Even the word "notorious" - which Bettie herself, now in her eighties, disapproves of - implies a seediness that just isn't there. Glorious is more like it.

The movie stars Gretchen Mоl, Sаrаh Pаulson and Lіlі Tаylor, and will be released on DVD September 28.

 

The Chronіcles of Atlantis continued...

"The figure stepped forward into a shaft of moonlight. Clearly now, it was a woman. She wore a fierce expression beneath a fringe of blonde bangs that just grazed her eyebrows. Her eyes were large, dark pools, perhaps the largest I'd ever seen. And she was as nude as the woman I'd had just seen through the binoculars. I stole only a glance at her round, full breasts, moist from the humid night, or exertion, or both. I didn't dare let my gaze linger."

Mіss Unіverse Indonesia faces jail

July 25, 2006 - We hope you got a good look at the smiling, cheerful, exuberantly beautiful Mіss Indonesіа during Sunday night's Mіss Unіverse pageant - because if an Islamic group in her country gets their way, she'll be spending the next 2-6 years in jail just for being there.

The "Islаmіc Defenders Front" have filed a police report against Nаdіne Chаndrаwіnаtа, accusing her of "indecency" and for being "insulting for Indonesian dignity and women" for "her participation in the contest and the display of her body in a swimsuit."

If the police investigation determines that there is enough evidence, prosecutors will then decide if it's worth going to court. Still on the books is an old law banning participation in beauty pageants, and this is what the IDF will use to punish her for "offending the standards not just of Islam but of other religions".

We think it's time people started being offended by religious zealotry and the outright hatred of women and their beauty.

Peta's back with a beautiful new baby, a great new body

Last year, just as her career as a model was hitting full steam Petа Todd decided to have her first baby. Her body changed in beautiful ways, and our photos of her pregnant are the only ones she did. In her interview she told us she had no intention of quitting modeling and would return with a vengeance once her child was born. In Februаry, she delivered a healthy baby boy named Finn, and again was generous enough to share some tender moments with our photographer, Mіchаel Whіte. And today, after working hard with a trainer, Peta is back, and is so stunning, we can scarcely believe she is real. Happily, we have several new series of this amazing lady to release over the next few months. Maybe that will give it time to sink in. But we doubt it. We think Peta is and always will be - unbelievable.

Lifestyle nudes

Other websites take pictures of their models behind the scenes and call them lifestyle nudes. While we also love behind the scenes photos they are not really lifestyle nudes are they? Only Body in Mind has consistently created photos that depict women enjoying a nude lifestyle, and the people around them enjoying those women. Lifestyle nudes are just another of the many innovations brought to you by Body in Mind. We started it, and we still do it best, for example in this, our very first series of Jessica by our newest photographer, Leon Russeаu. No need to imagine visiting Jessica in her garden and trying to remember to look at the flowers. You can visit her right now, right here, and you can look at anything you want.

And enjoy the latest installment of our Beаuty Pаrk series here. The place where beautiful nudity is a lifestyle.

Nude body double wants her name in credits

July 10, 2006 - A Chinese actress who stood in for Memoirs of a Geisha star Zhаng Zіyі during nude scenes in an upcoming film wants the world to know it was her naked body in the film, not Zhang's.

Shаo Xiаoshаn, who was paid $2500 to double for the Hollywood actress, has said that all she wants is her name to appear in the film credits. But the director, in spite of 'being happy with my naked body', won't return her calls.

The producers of the film are not happy with her demands. "The film hasn't been screened yet. How could she know her name isn't in the credits?" they asked. Then they confirmed that her name won't appear due to 'contractual issues'.

We hope Xiaoshan gets the credit she deserves, and that she sets a precedent for all the nameless beautiful women who share their beauty with us in film.

 

The perfect woman

The moment you meet her you know she is different from most women. She is very good-looking, but that is not what makes her interesting. What stands out about Cat is that she is intelligent, benevolent, purposeful, innocent, happy, self-interested, and brave. Very brave. In fact, she had no problem at all posing perfectly nude in public for an entire afternoon, without missing a beat. She showed no sign of shame, stress or embarassment. In fact, she remained the perfectly happy, charming, and interesting woman she was when dressed. Cat exudes beauty, inside and out. She is, in short, our perfect woman. See if she is yours.

Tyrа Bаnks refuses to be touched up

July 5, 2006 - Model turned tv host Tyrа Bаnks is going to ask magazine editors not to touch up any more of her photos in the future, because she says she wants young girls to see her without the benefit of computer technology.

The 32 year old has often used her show to contrast images from magazines with untouched photos, showing how editors have shaved 'inches and pounds' off her waist and thighs in the past. She plans to use hair extensions and make up to 'keep it real'.

Aside from the obvious - that adding hair extensions and makeup to make her more beautiful is no different than sculpting her body digitally - Tyra may inadvertently be helping the fight against the beauty haters. They won't be able to use the tired refrain 'that cover model has been airbrushed'. Tyra's objective beauty will quash one more argument against images of beautiful women, and for that at least we're grateful.

 

How much do you value female beauty?

The 'mysterious' power behind female beauty is nothing short of the power of morality itself, the power of the highest human spirit: the desire to strive for values. Female beauty is the embodiment of all human values, and its attractiveness to us is nothing less than the power that values have to attract us. In this way, female beauty becomes a mirror, reflecting our values back to us, and revealing them to the world at large. You can see the whole of a man's soul in that which he finds beautiful, and each man will discover for himself that he reveres his own soul exactly as much or as little as he reveres female beauty. Revere your soul. Enjoy Zuzаnа.
