i completely disagree with everything you've said

. I guess you must find the naked form discusting, and something to be ashamed of. I certainly dont think the playboy spread a sign that tetyana isnt very smart, i think first of all she is secure in her body and secondly if she felt humiliated she wouldnt have accepted the job in the first place

. What you've said about her country being poor is ignorant and rude. "Lack of culture" give me a break...
I agree with you Sweets!!!!!! I do also think that she must be secure and confident enough with her body to want to pose for Playboy. The naked form can be something beautiful, inspiring, and stunning if the one paricipating in the picture is secure, willing, and confident enough in herself, the situation, and photographer.
Cindy Crawford was the first model to pose for Playboy (many thought that she would 'lower' her image, and completly mess up her modeling career). Cindy, though, was confident enough to share the form of her body, with a photograher she completly trusted and felt much respect for (Herb Ritz), and I must say the pictures came out abs. STUNNING.
In no way was she portrait as 'cheap' a 'sl*t' or 'overly vulgar'. You could see that she was comfortable in the pictures and Mr. Ritz did an outstanding job with his photography. Cindy also reached a new demographic of fans (a male audience..which was outside of 'high fashion' and 'runway') which enabled her to expand her modeling career to MTV, more Tv. appearances, movies, videos, calendars, and some people even say Mr. Richard Gere

(I think thats one reason Cindy continues to be my favorite model ). After Cindy many models followed including Elle next, and models still continue to follow.
Nude pictures are nothing to be ashamed of as long as you are completly confident, sure, willing, prepared, and secure enough to pose for them. Some of the most beautiful and capturing pictures include nude pictures (they are not derogatory, explicit, or 'ugly') if done in a classy, artisit manner. Yes they might not be for everyone but lets not scrutinize the people who DO decided to make them. I respect and honor everyones opinion, and I hope that everyone can be at least willing enough to accept different peoples opinions as well, or at least mature enought to respect them.
