I can't look at another photo of a model wearing caution tape...
or I might go out and buy some!

Caution tape is a stupid idea. If a model bring it to my studio, I would have to kick her out. It's so overdone.

Most people just don't use enough when they do use it. A water slide covered in caution tape with naked models sliding down wearing danger tape bikinis... that would be cool.

or a room covered entirely, walls, floor, ceiling, couch, etc. Everything completely wrapped. And a model looking around like "wtf?"

Or if there was a crime scene setting with that nifty crime scene tape, and the model was orgasming in a clear plastic body bag with a wad of caution tape partially stuffed into her mouth.

How the hell do you know what I was doing last Wednesday?! I'm not saying anything else before speaking to my imaginary lawyer, Quincy Flypaper.

Let's not forget the rose petals and various assorted candies like M&M's, etc, that have vastly overdone the American Beauty pic.  This stuff is on the same level as Caution Tape.  Bleh!

I hate it, very cliche along with belts on boobies.

or, just use all types of tape except the caution variety... Scotch, duct, packing, drywall joint, correction, sex, cassette, measuring, etc.

that all said, who the hell cares? Why does it bother you so much if someone wants to do something, regardless of how much it's been done?

No one has very much room to argue this point unless every image they've ever taken has been a 100% groundbreaking, never-before-seen masterpiece. Or, if they were the first person to wrap a model in caution tape. Any idea who that might have been, by the way?

Why not be the first to do a GOOD photo using caution tape? Now that would be novel.

Oh there are so many ways I havent seen done yet though.
So much possibility and none of it involving covering up her naughty bits with the damned stuff.

How about a shot with some hanging out of her..a chalk figure shaved into her pubic hair..and using wee toy police cars and figures stood around it?

Like all cliches, just when I want to get sick from one more of the same, someone comes along and shoots it in a new, different, or pimpy humorous way and I am happy they took the risk to do it.

YES, they are supposed to be FUN to touch.

So if you look at it a different way, the tape could be saying CAUTION! don't touch my boobies, they are too much fun for you!

How about a scat shoot using caution tape as toilet paper and a model full of beans and cabbage?
