Question three in our theme of the day:  "Get it out of your system," I thought I would deal with a bit of theology.   If you are joining us late, I am trying to ask every possible question about nude modeling that I can think of so we can move onto other topics on the forum. 

So here it is:  Assuming that you were a model who already poses nude (so if you don't model nude, no need to answer), how would you feel modeling nude wearing angel's wings on a religious holiday such a Easter or Christmas?

Now if I am missing any variations, please feel free to chime in.  I hope we can deal with them all before the day is out and move onto other topics.

I was going to quote Monty Python, but it wasn't quite a good fit... Again, people spend too much time looking for ways to be offended.

I suspect that we are all naked in the eyes of God or the gods or Goddess or Godesses, depending on your point of view. So I don't see a problem with this proposed shoot.

My 2¢

Well then I have to ask, if you are wearing angel's wings, are you actually naked?

So if you flap the wings, would that be intermittent nudity?

I never pose nude in angel's wings at all.  Indeed, we haven't decided if posing in wings is nude, intermittent nude or non-nude. 

So your answer is that you wouldn't shoot angel's wings on a religious holdiay.  What if the holdiay wasn't for your religion?

Well, if a bird only wears wings, it's nude (but acceptable); why would a person be any different? smile

This may be tangentshal, um, tangentyal, uh, off on a tangent but I've always wondered if girl angels' costumes show off their b(o)(0)bies or not. This is a very important question because some parents say that there are angels watching over their kids and if the angels have b(0)(0)bies - especially if the angels are really young and hot-looking - isn't that like breaking the law?

I have tried to get really drunk and drive my pickup truck really fast because
I was hoping I'd see an angel and be able to photograph it and then I'd be like the king of photographers or something. So I think your idea of trying to photograph fake angels is very uncool.

I'd feel pretty good about it.  Especially when it's Christmas in Heaven.

Any shots with Angel wings should be forbidden on any day... So overdone!

You have a way of always putting things into perspective.
