Althouse: "The nipple mania is just a runway styling conceit."

January 4, 2011

"The nipple mania is just a runway styling conceit."

"Our only issue (and it's really not that big an issue) is when a trend like this gets so saturated so quickly."

Saturated? Here, use these.

Unknown said...: Gives, "Let's take a closer look at those breasts", a whole nother dimension.

So to speak.; 1/4/11, 8:11 PM

Chase said...: No sweetheart, I wasn't looking; those boobs are way too small for my tastes.; 1/4/11, 8:14 PM
Irene said...: Or these.; 1/4/11, 8:15 PM
john said...: Everyone's all a titter here.

Oops, two threads too low.; 1/4/11, 8:22 PM
Ann Althouse said...: @Irene LOL. I wonder if one feels more "out there" or less with those things.; 1/4/11, 8:25 PM
Irene said...: Althouse, I would say "out there."

In all senses of the phrase.; 1/4/11, 8:27 PM
john said...: They should make those "Body Perks" cold-reactive. Or perhaps randomly perk-actuated.; 1/4/11, 8:30 PM
Ann Althouse said...: But you're covering up your natural nipples. They aren't nipples. It's like wearing a naked suit. You don't feel as naked as if you were actually naked. Seems to me, those are pasties. Yes, they are prominent. But they are plastic/rubber. One's own nipples are actually nipples.; 1/4/11, 8:30 PM
ken in tx said...: Are you happy to see me, or is it just cold in here.; 1/4/11, 8:32 PM
Irene said...: I think one would feel "out there" even with the pasties because it calls attention to the nipples. One might not feel the same physical sensation, but the mental state would be the same.; 1/4/11, 8:35 PM
Titus said...: I love womens' tits and nipples.

I think the entire bra experiment is way too constraining.

I want boobs free, flowing, loving life and ready to take on the world.

Tits.; 1/4/11, 8:35 PM
Anonymous said...: The posture and the dead serious gaze of these models is hilarious.

Just about as funny as that now mandatory video shot for every movie and series... you know, the one where the assembled cast walks in slow dream-like motion toward the camera?; 1/4/11, 8:43 PM
Wince said...: Just think how much different constitutional law would be if they used the term areola instead of penumbra.; 1/4/11, 8:43 PM
traditionalguy said...: Is this a last fling for the 1960s braless look? Well thanks for the mammaries.; 1/4/11, 8:56 PM
Gene said...: GaudalkanalI haven't seen so many post-pubescent nipples since I walked into the girls' locker room at summer swim camp.; 1/4/11, 9:28 PM
William said...: An interesting post that gives those of us interested in fashion design food for thought. From a fashion designer's viewpoint this style has the disadvantage of causing the viewer to not pay attention to the cut and style of the garment. Tits upstage just about everything in life.; 1/4/11, 10:08 PM
Mark said...: Not even a B cup amongst them. Bah.; 1/4/11, 10:26 PM
Carl Vero said...: It’s a gender-specific affliction
A terrible male addiction
We love boobs
Never look above boobs
We ogle them
And Google them
We do surgery to advance them
And write poems to romance them…; 1/4/11, 10:26 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: They must have a fashion version of Journolist.; 1/4/11, 10:47 PM
kimsch said...: The seafoam turtle neck would have been more lovely had it been more opaque.

The smiley face dress looked as tho the model chose plastic when checking out at the grocery store, and the put the bag on.

Man, those are some ugly broads.

Dude, they aren't even broad.; 1/5/11, 3:26 AM
Clyde said...: It doesn't really matter how much or how little a woman's clothing exposes, because we men can visualize exactly what's underneath. It's in our nature. It doesn't matter if a woman has her nipples poking out through her blouse or covered with little pasties to keep them from poking out, we know that they are there. Although realistically, most women could use a little support.

As far as sheer clothing goes, though, there's a time and place for it. This morning at the grocery store, I saw a Latina woman in some sheer pants that made it clear that she was wearing black panties underneath. I liked the view, but it was probably inappropriate.; 1/5/11, 7:05 AM
Bob_R said...: "But [the Body Percs] are covering up your natural nipples..."

So unimaginative. You can put them in random places. Three per boob if you want. Talk about being treated like a bitch.; 1/5/11, 7:16 AM
AllenS said...: They all have that scrawny like Obama look.; 1/5/11, 7:31 AM
knox said...: Great. How long til women start getting nipple implants? "Doctor, I need them to be pointier and harder."; 1/5/11, 8:58 AM
Blair said...: Visible nipples are awesome, but I'd like this phenomenon more if the fashion models in question actually had breasts.; 1/5/11, 11:14 PM
