That Awkward Moment When: Mermaid Edtion!

No boobie has ever hurt anyone. They nurish babies for goodness sake!

Free the boobies!

That awkward moment when you realize that your mermate was reading over your shoulder while you were ranting about boobs.

There's actually a movement to allow women to expose their chests in any place where men are allowed to, based on the fact that not allowing female toplessness is technically a violation of gender discrimination laws. In places where this movement has had success its totally legal for women to go around shirtless. One of the places where this is true is in New York, which explains why many of the people at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade are topless, in case you were wondering.

I would do this in a heart beat if I wasnt worried it would cause problems with teaching. I am a nude model, and for the time being the teacher's union is okay with that. Obviously since my nude modelling is in galleries, art nude books, and art nude website- kids aren't going to find it, and generally if for some reason they did because the images are done in infra-red frequently it changes the skin and hair and isn't easy to see it's me. Now, as for mermaiding, I did one topless shot with a well known art nude photographer 2 years ago before I was professional. The edited versions are on my site with scales edited over top. I know Hannah has a few topless photos too, but they're all in the ocean and are dark enough that you really just see the outline of the breast. I think this far into the game with me, because I work so much with kids and teaching and my students now follow my mermaid stuff, topless photos would be a bad idea, same with being caught swimming somewhere topless despite the fact we have a few nude beaches around here.

but I gotta tell you (and poor Jesse, back to boobs we go) free range boobs are the best. Hahaha


for anyone who's interested, here's an infrared photo of me that's not obviously nude:


In order to shoot infrared the photographer has to have their camera customized with a filter built right in. It changes anything red into white, so my red hair would always go white. It comes out either redish or blusih when done, so gets converted to gray scale. Gives the skin that marble esq look, and lightens the hair. Also, this is how a lot of my photos end up being done, face less.

It also turns the green in plants really white too as seen here!




examples of topless Hannah shots:



I didnt pixelate the chest- it's that way on the site.

same with this one



this one's not, just urled right off her website




that awkward moment when Raina shows you semi nude photos and Hannahs breasts???

That awkward moment when the awkward moments thread goes into the "how'd we get here" moment.. LOL

Boobs everyone has them, men as well. The Human (and mer) body is a piece of art, there's no shame in it. However everything in this world is Taboo. To me it's art, you think the "David" wasnt controversial? Heck I went to mexico and went topless on a beach didint- bother me none. Just if you do it, sunscreen is your friend..

**lets add that awkward moment when your trying to reply and the server suddenly becomes busy * :/

honestly i think woman should be able to go shirtless if they want.

I wouldn't mind it at a beach or something.
Around Florida sometimes chicks take their tops off and walk around the beach. No one gets mad
at them, but only a few people at a time really do it, I suppose because everyone else is embarassed
maybe. I don't think you'd get in trouble, either. If anything, they'd probably just ask you to put
a top on.

This talk about female toplessness is somewhat of a departure from the original point of this thread. I feel like it would fit well in the subforum I want to make based on the requests in the LGBT Pod thread. I was thinking of making a section called "Gender and Sexuality Discussions". I figure that name is broad enough to include topics like female toplessness and "Mermen and Society" . What do you guys think?

[AniaR]

do it, love the idea and yes, I knew I was going off topic but didnt think to move it sorry

[Bellasea]

I like that idea malinghi! I also like the section title.

[malinghi]

Just made the new section. Finally, a place on the internet to fixate on boobs.

[Raivynn]

That awkward moment when you realize you have been on a mermaid site, reading about boobs ... and realize you're thinking ...

"Hooray for BOOBIES!!"

[Mermaid Dottie]

That awkward moment when you're talking to some little kids at the pool and your baby kicks you in the crotch from the inside! SO freaking uncomfortable. I had to explain why I looked like I was going to either vomit or pee my tail...

[Prince Calypso]

[MermaidRaegan]

That awkward moment when you should be moving into your new place and your old roomie notices you slacking and says "Lemme guess, you're doing that online mermaidy thing again?"

[babsannee]

[Winged Mermaid]

The awkward moment when another mer says, "can I touch your tail?"

You were getting that a lot at the WMAs ;D

Kind of like this moment:



"I just want to feel up your fluke" is what I'm saying here XD Iara thought that was hilarious, haha!

[Mermaid Jewel]

That awkward moment when you realize that all your friends on facebook can see that you've been liking photos of other mers...and they don't know you're a mermaid yet.

Follow up on that...when one of those friends looks through your phone, sees pics of your tail in the making, and somehow knows exactly what it is though you've never told them... xD
