Jackie O in (Vintage) Nude Photo Scandal!

TresSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:13:08 -0700

A word to the wise: naked photos can always resurface - even decades later. As archivists sort through 610 boxes full of memorabilia and junk collected by the late Andy Warhol, they recently stumbled upon an autographed nude photo of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Jackie O was a frequent muse to the packrat artist and apparently gifted him a naked poster signed, "For Andy, with enduring affection, Jackie Montauk." Matt Wrbican, who is overseeing the project of the Andy Warhol Foundation, says the handwriting matches that of Onassis, who often visited Warhol's Montauk, NY, beachhouse. Here's more:

So, after her second husband, Aristotle Socrates Onassis, got a paparazzi to take pictures of her skinny-dipping and it landed in the hands of Larry Flynt, who turned it into a poster for his porn magazine, Hustler, Jackie O sent a copy – likely as a joke – to Warhol, Wrbican said.

Wow, those guys are lucky that Jackie had a good sense of humor about the whole thing. In another funny twist, the relic was found amid junk ranging from receipts to fan mail and even Caroline Kennedy's wedding cake. Just goes to show you never know where things will turn up.

So You Still Want to Let the Ol' Boyfriend Take Nude Pics?

TresSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

You might not after you get a glimpse, if you dare (extremely NSFW!) of guesshermuff.blogspot.com. It's so offensive in both content and intent that you'll have to cut and paste it yourself if you want to see it. (No hyperlink!)

I'm letting you know about it to remind you that those naked pictures you give to your boyfriend could resurface for strange dudes to leer at and comment on either because your boyfriend's computer is stolen, someone gets hold of its contents somehow - or he's out for revenge. (And to you folks who just like to post nekkid pics of yourself just because, I'm talking to you, too!)

Here's the premise of this site. On its main page, you see the image of a clothed woman. Some of the women might already have naked pictures of themselves on the Internet as "web-cam girls," but a lot of the photos look like they're just someone's girlfriend who took sexy boudoir photos - and I say "boudoir photo" euphemistically. (We're not talking white corsets and parasols here.) Underneath the clothed image, you can click on a link that will take you to naked pictures. Before you do that (and by "you" I mean some gross guy), you're supposed to guess how the woman grooms herself down there.

Thanks to Weffie for alerting womankind of such pestilence on the Internet. As she pointedly told me, there are photo-removal request instructions at the bottom of the page, which suggests that most of the women featured here have no freaking idea they're there until they see it or someone who knows them sees it. So wrong!

Just another reminder the next time you think only your significant other is the only person who may ever see you naked . . . just think about this site.

What Would You Do If Your Sex Tape Surfaced?

TresSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:27:30 -0700

I was pretty shocked today to learn that Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have a "naked tape," which could soon be known as a sex tape if the X-rated version surfaces tomorrow as rumored.

The video shows the Grey's Anatomy star and his wife bathing nude in a tub with former beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche and talking about how high they are. Oops, to say the least.

It's hard to believe that celebrities still allow tapes like this to get out. For noncelebs, we don't have to worry about leaked sex tapes getting posted to celebrity websites, but that doesn't mean they can't fall into the wrong hands. If you have ever made a sex tape, or even if you haven't, tell me: what would you do if your private video surfaced for public viewing? Has this ever happened to you?

OMG! 1 in 10 Teens Posts Nude Pics Online

TresSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 04:00:27 -0700

A study has uncovered a ~~shocking~~ predictable reality: teenagers do stupid things! The new survey results out yesterday from Common Sense Media reveal that one in 10 teens has posted a nude or seminude photo of themselves or someone else online. And thanks to technology, these teens will be stuck with their mistakes well past their carefree youth.

Just like a crazy tattoo you get when you're young, the images teens post online can stay with them forever. "Deleting" a photo will never get rid of the embarrassing pic completely, so when these kids get older, they'll never know what a curious future employer or college admissions officer will come across.

I guess these oversharing teens just have to hope that the people deciding their futures also have embarrassing photos of themselves floating around on the Internet. And judging by this survey, it won't be long until many do . . . we just have to wait for today's teens to grow up and become the employers and admissions officers!

Where Do You Stand? Sending a Lover Nude Photos

DearSugar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

We all have our own feelings about nudity. While some of you have no problem stripping down in front of a new guy or changing at the gym, others are more modest, keeping yourselves covered until you trust a person enough to see the real you. Being naked can be very freeing though, which is one of the reasons sex is so exciting, special, and arousing, but would you try to capture those feelings in print? Ladies, where do you stand on sending nude photos of yourself to someone you're in a relationship with?

Sunday Confessional: I Took Revenge

DearSugar — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:00:00 -0700

A year ago I started dating a guy I met through a work conference. He was living across the country, but was in the process of transferring to my office for a promotion. We immediately fell for each other and decided to deal with the long distance for a few months before we could be together. During that time we kept things alive by doing a lot of online flirting - he even sent me some naked pictures of himself.

Due to the nature of our company, we decided to keep our relationship quiet even after his move. As it turned out, he was in another online relationship with an ex-girlfriend. I didn't figure this out until nine months later, after we had already discussed moving in together and making our relationship public. Fortunately we didn't, and I promptly dumped him for his betrayal - he didn't even seem to feel bad. I was heartbroken and decided to get back at him.

I created a fake email account, took one of the particularly unflattering nude pictures that he had sent me, and forwarded it to every person I could think of in our industry. When I came into the office the next day, the rumors had already started. Obviously I received a nasty response from my ex, but I just ignored it. In a few days the whole thing drifted away and for a moment, I felt satisfied, but then I found out that his boss had demoted him and was sending him back to his old office. Now that the consequences of my actions are clear, I feel torn. Can I ever be forgiven for this?

You Asked: How Can I Get Over This Betrayal?

DearSugar — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 06:00:00 -0700

Dear Sugar,

I had taken some naughty photos of myself for my boyfriend a year ago. Even though we are now broken up, I still had those photos on my computer. Unbeknownst to me, my best friend (who is also a close family friend) of 10 years saw those naughty pictures, and behind my back, downloaded them onto his computer. The only way I know this is because I caught them on his laptop while he was showing me vacation pictures. I didn't confront him when I saw my pictures on his computer because I was completely shocked, and tried to forget about it, but recently, he betrayed me again when he told my personal secrets to his friends in front of me.

I feel like I can never trust him again. I have always been sort of a pushover, but I feel like this was the last straw. I think about it every day and still cry over how betrayed I feel. I have always been one who stays clear away from confrontation, so what should I do? - Betrayed Betsy

Dear Betrayed Betsy,

I don't blame you for feeling incredibly betrayed: Your "best friend" completely disregarded your feelings and broke your trust. Not only was it not his place to take your private nude photos off your computer, but telling your secrets in front of you was the icing on the cake.

While you are not the type to cause drama, you need to stand up for yourself. "Best friends" don't backstab the ones they love so I am wondering what his motives are here. Does he have feelings for you? Is he jealous that you took those photos for someone else?

Your first order of business should be getting those pics off his computer - you don't want those to get in the wrong person's hands! Secondly, I would distance yourself from this guy and not confide in him until he has shown you that he can be trusted again. Let him know how he made you feel and explain to him that he has to earn your respect and friendship back. Unfortunately there is nothing he can do or say to take back what he did, but hopefully in time, you will heal from this. Keep in mind that your hurt won't go away over night so hang in there. Good luck.

Good Idea or Bad Idea: Snapping Nude Photos

DearSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:00:00 -0700

We have seen and heard of people's nude pictures getting into the wrong hands, and people still continue to take them! Although capturing an intimate moment with your partner might seem like a good idea at the time, the risk of having your pictures being used against you later on down the road could be bigger just too risky, so what I want to know is, do you think it's a good idea or a bad idea to take nude pictures of yourself or of your partner?

A Do or a Don't: Taking Naked Picture When You're Pregnant

DearSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 09:00:00 -0700

I know not everyone is comfortable being naked, but I've heard through many friends that being pregnant really gives you a new appreciation for your body.

Watching yourself grow as you prepare for motherhood is definitely a rite of passage, and it's a journey some like to capture on film. My mom still has Polaroids of herself when she was pregnant with me (in a tasteful manner, of course) and I think it's a really special memento to hold onto. I know it's not for everyone so tell me, do you think taking pictures of your naked body when you're pregnant is a do or a don't?

Flashback: Casual Friday Gone Wrong

TresSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 08:00:00 -0700

They sure had an odd way of advertising pants back in the day (the '60s?).

Let's feature a woman in her underwear surrounded by guys wearing Broomsticks brand pants. (Broomsticks?!) The copy underneath the picture suggests that the "play" at work that Broomsticks pants inspire involves sexually harassing "Rosie. Or Carol. Or Eleanor, etc." (You know women - all equally harassable and interchangeable, especially when practically naked at work.) As one blogger put it, "Broomsticks. Your gang-rapey pants." Yowza. To see the complete ad, read more

"The Game Is Broomsticks. Ring around Rosie. Or Carol. Or Eleanor, etc. Fun. But you can only play if you wear Broomsticks slacks. Hopsacks, twists, flannels in blends of Acrilan and rayon for permanently pressed good looks. Play styles. Game colors. To help make you a winner. But if you don’t want to play our way - take off our pants and go home."
