Time to retire these ideas...
Here is my list of concepts that should be permanently retired: 1. Caution Tape......please stop! This should be used only to parody the over use of this cheap prop. 2. Hands over the boobs implied. How many times are we going to see this? Move on... there's 10,000,000 items out there that can be used for implied images... try a few! 3. Belts as only wardrobe... I was on the bandwagon for this, but it's timely death is imminent. 4. Rose petals in artist nudes and implies.... enough! Let's see your list for the concept retirement home!

These are bedrock ideas founded in years of creative development. I suppose you're going to also rule out a great shot on a toilet or even.... on a toilet with angel wings with two bandaids delicately place over each nipple while smelling one single beautiful rose with loose pedals floating ever so gently .... all over the place and fishnet stockings?

Jan 14 07 05:08 pm Link How about beating a dead horse? That's been done quite a bit around the forums. Jan 14 07 05:24 pm Link Jan 14 07 05:27 pm Link I motion that we no longer beat dead horses. Instead, we should simply ask "What's that rudder for?" "It's driving me nuts". in lieu of that, I also raise a motion to only beat disease carrying vermin, such as prairie dogs(black plague anyone?). Save a horse, beat a model.

I'm doing a series on fashion, artistic, and glamour clichés (just for fun when I'm working with models who have the same dry sense of humor that I do).

In stead of complaining about cliche images, why not praise the unique. Can't say I have any unique images. But I've seen them. KO Jan 15 07 12:55 pm Link How about the...
