Clean or Hairy
How do you prefer your model? Waxed or natural? Nov 14 06 06:47 pm Link For my art nudes my preference is smooth although I have worked with a couple who are natural and have plans to work with them again and a couple others for the first time because,well, they`re just so special imo that I was more than happy to forego my preference. My reason has nothing to do with anything sexual or any fetish. My belief apposed the thought that many artists have that hair covering the pubic area of females keeps things modest and keeps the eye from focusing on that spot. *My* eyes tend to go toward something that stands out and to me a spot of hair almost dead center on a nude body that is about 90-95 percent hairless otherwise only begs for the eye to look toward it. Think of an aerial view of a desert, smack dab in the center of your field of view is a forest,,,,tell me, where is your eye gonna go? Nov 14 06 07:08 pm Link Who cares?

Nov 14 06 07:25 pm Link it's all good. but if asked a preference, natural! Nov 14 06 08:02 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: forest or oasis? Nov 14 06 08:13 pm Link I prefer pubic hair. Grromed, but full. Also airpit hair. I have a great interest in European work, and that is the common style for their models.

In some European countries the women that are hairy sometimes even decorate/braid/bead theirs as I am sure you may know. Nov 14 06 08:16 pm Link Braided.

On some ladies the hairy look just seems to work. Nov 14 06 08:20 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: Understood, but this is about preference, and I prefer NO hair. Nice, squeaky clean.

I like natural too. Nov 14 06 09:47 pm Link I like natural in art nudes. Waxed just seems creepy and porno-y.

A "LITTLE" pubic hair is ok at the top, but other than that, I can't stand it.

Nov 15 06 02:17 am Link ok i love Wynd and i think she is perfect the way she is! but when it comes to all my other models..... they gotta wax or shave or something!!!! PLEASE! Nov 15 06 02:24 am Link I vote for natural. Nov 15 06 02:54 am Link Why was this in the pit? It's redundant, but not mean or even off topic for a site that encompasses nude and seminude modeling. So into general. Nov 15 06 03:29 am Link That's a misleading thread title you've got there. You can't be clean and hairy at the same time? Why is it just one or the other? Nov 15 06 03:42 am Link I don't know where people get the idea that most Europeans are hairy. That was true once upon a time. That is not true anymore. I've been spending more time on this continent over the past 5 years than the States, and the last 3 in eastern Europe mostly. While a lot of women let themselves go in the cold winter (when you're not going to wear anything revealing in public anyhow), in the summer, everything's shaved/waxed, just like at home.

Nov 15 06 05:55 am Link If it's up to me, my preference is for the natural look - However, as we all know, it's not up to the tog (most of the time) so I accept the model for who they are and what they have - or not. On a semi related note: I once had a model decide to shave, something she'd not ever done before, the night before the shoot. The results were very uncomfortable for her (razor burn, etc.) and very unattractive for the session. We had to postpone until she "grew back." So, I started asking prospective models whether he/she shaved or not prior to working together for the first time. Now, I just ask the model to not alter regular groomiing practices before a session.... Bill Ballard Savannah, GA Nov 15 06 06:05 am Link I liked shaved but I don't think I've ever asked a model to. It's like hair on the upper lip to me. It's natural but I don't want to see it. Nov 15 06 06:46 am Link Marko Cecic-Karuzic wrote: Yep, my point exactly. European women are MUCH more fashion conscious than women here, and by a large margin. Granted it's also probably where you hang within each country. In CZ if you are in Trebich, you'll probably find more girls natural (but still very trim) but in Prague? Forget it, you'd have better luck finding a needle in a haystack than hair down there. Kiev, was mostly the same, Budapest too, Vienna definitely. Nov 15 06 09:15 am Link No hair...it makes things so much nicer. Nov 15 06 09:18 am Link I really like that new Rollie Fingers style that's starting to become a trend. Nov 15 06 09:22 am Link I prefer natural in almost (See note 1 below.) all things. It's more versatile. Kinda hard to portray innocence or that goddess look with features like a shaved snatch, meandering wildlife tattoos, thong-shaped tan lines, inflate-a-boobs, life-raft lips, and a ton of scrap iron stuck through any number of man-made perforations. Yeah, you're right. It's rare that a model meets my requirements, but then I always thought of models as being uncommon by definition. And the very limited number of models I have to choose from fits in well with the very limited time I have to shoot (practically none at the moment). Note 1: "Almost" means I prefer shaved legs. Also, I have special exemption for bald or certain otherwise extreme models (who ARE allowed to bring their unicorn friends). Nov 15 06 06:16 pm Link |
