Althouse: "Until now celebrities didn't expose their nipples so they were no 'nipple role models.'"

"Until now celebrities didn't expose their nipples so they were no 'nipple role models.'"

But now that we have nipple role models, everyone suddenly wants nipple surgery.

TMink said...: This reminds me of a science fiction book I read in which there was a product called nipcaps. The items would sit on top of the wearers nipples and could be ordered to erection by a small, hand held, remote.

BTW, Victoria Beckham is nasty skinny. UGH.; 6/22/09, 8:48 AM

JAL said...: Reasons for having work done on your nipples include simply wanting to wear a t-shirt without a bra - or looking nice in a bikini without padding.

Help me out here -- how do un-incised nipples keep any woman from wearing a t-shirt without a bra?

Or from looking nice in a bikini? (I can think of a lot of things that keep a woman from looking nice in a bikini and that list does not include un-perky nipples.); 6/22/09, 9:04 AM

traditionalguy said...: What's wrong with improving the natural beauty of women? As a child of the late 1950s, women can be proud of their beauty around me any time they want to. There is nothing as captivating as a glimpse of a woman's nipples; 6/22/09, 9:06 AM

a very interesting source.; 6/22/09, 9:15 AM

Talking of the seventies, scroll down to the bottom picture.

What a stupid nation they now have.; 6/22/09, 9:28 AM
knox said...: One of my friends is always cracking me up, whenever it's really cold he says "Wow, it's so cold out here, my nipples could cut glass."; 6/22/09, 9:41 AM
Wince said...: Wow, just the other day I was thinking about how only certain types of nipples are featured in movies and magazines. (Kind of gives you a look into my mind, doesn't it? I blame Althouse.)

Only breasts with flatter areolas and protruding nipples seem to get the parts. Women who have breasts with areolas that also swell above the conture of the breast (which, in the extreme, are sometimes crudely called "lug-nuts") are rarely chosen for those parts. This cannot be pure coincidence in casting, but has to be discrimination.

So I do believe there have been Nipple Police out there patrolling the casting couches for some time now.

He suggests temporarily correcting inverted nipples using Nipplettes, little suction caps which help 'pull' the nipple out and are available on the High Street.

Jeez, based on that description, can we now call Titus "Nipplette"!

Anonymous said...: there are certain colors you can wear to show off nipples more than others.

Remember when ann posted that old faded picture of hers and she didn't understand why one nipple was showing and the other not.

i am surprised she said that because she seems to know so much about photography. If she knew about photography she would know about colors and how they fade and how colors provide lunimance and shadows and such. anyway, i am not here to teach her. she should go to the science department of her university if they do not have a photography lab there. she probably can take courses for free from qualified people.

anyway. yellow swimsuits show nipples the best, if that is what you are looking for. I don't really care, because i know whenever i get out of the pool i am get chilled as i don't have much warming fat on my chest. My nipples show and I am fifty and that must be gross for fifty year old women.

Nipple show...whoop di do.; 6/22/09, 11:17 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: As Trooper might attest nipples come in all shapes and sizes.

I think Obama should appoint a nipple Czar to make sure the little nipples get their fare share of the American dream.; 6/22/09, 11:55 AM
Anonymous said...: @John-
"Wouldn't nipple surgery cut the sensitivity of the nipples and therefore seriously reduce the pleasure in the woman's sex life?" You are right- that is a huge risk for surgery in that area. So many nerves to get damaged...Just think: those hot, sexy, depressing numb nipples.; 6/22/09, 12:19 PM
Jeremy said...: Palladian and Pogo both had this surgery years ago...and they still can't find anybody who consider them role models.

Well, maybe some of the little boys in the neighborhood...; 6/22/09, 3:17 PM
