The holiday issue of
Recherche Magazine features a sweet little article about the history of the candy cane, and I actually enjoyed reading it. Until I scrolled down to find the above image accompanying the article!! WTF?! How is an image of a naked woman lying across a bed suggestively as if she's waiting to be plowed from behind appropriate for an article about the history of the candy cane and its role in shaping family traditions and symbolizing purity and Christianity? Seriously?? How is it appropriate EVER?
Apparently there was a bit of drama in the release of this issue, as it was leaked by some blog before the magazine owner and contributors meant for it to. I say you were done a favor, I never would have heard of the magazine had it not been for that scandal being featured. So really, it was a plus!
Okay
ReplyDeleteA. There is nothing wrong the picture. We ain't the first to do something like this
B. It didn't do us a favor becuase that a-hole hacked into her account stole the pictures and releasing them.
C. And well you obviously don't look at magazines if you never heard of Recherche Magazine.
Excuse you, they worked 3 months on that magazine and sd book just RUINED the effect and pleasure of the release.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you haven't heard of it before, but it's a good magazine and defiantly not a plus on how it was leaked by someone else.
About the graphic, I actually thought it was kind of cute. BUT maybe it is supposed to draw attention to only the candy cane
LMAO!! Colleen and melinablogs, you're both out of your minds if you think that graphic is appropriate for a nice article about candy canes. It definitely isn't "cute", it's practically pornographic. And I had never heard of that magazine, and wouldn't have if it wasn't for this article, and the one Stardoll's Most Wanted posted about the magazine being leaked, so Nikki has a point :D:D
ReplyDeleteskanky is right! stardoll is for kids why have that in a stardoll mag?
ReplyDeleteOkay it does look inappropriate but don't go this hard like Nikki did!
ReplyDeletelmaooo!
ReplyDeleteskankaroooo!
I quite dislike that graphic, it's a wee bit slutty? Though the magazine is really good and intresting, a few of the models are more...skanky then they should be. But the magazine is great! :D
ReplyDeleteLMFAO. It's SO DAMN obvious The Stardoll Book is the owner of that mag! -sigh- Attention seeker, much?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nikki and Perez.
ReplyDeleteTalking about how the candy cane symbolizes purity for the Christian faith then accompanying the article with a nude model?
o.O
Nikki, please email me. I'm closing down my current project for a new one and you are a prospective writer for it. I know I sound vague, but I can't reveal the project just yet, because I do not want anyone to steal the idea. You are exactly what I'm looking for, you have the PERFECT style of writing my project needs! Ughh I sound creepy now. But we'd really like you as a writer for our blog. :-)

thank you!!
I totally agree with PerezStarGossip. Since when is nudity appropriate for a story about the history of a candy cane. Which includes christian references. Honestly, the Rechere staff needs to go and get some class.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't suitable at all. The lack of clothes and the way she's posing provocatively show that. The magazine is fantastic but yeah..That was a slutty picture.
ReplyDeletehaha that pic hasn't got much to do with purity or christianity does it? :-p
ReplyDeleteThe image wasn't supposed to be published at all. But since the Sd Burn Book already posted it, I didn't really have a choice.
ReplyDeleteI admit, it is sexy. But it's MY art. I suppose I am at that age. I'll try to be less sexy in the future ;)
Its ART your an idiot its not skanky ITS ART! NUDE IS ART GET USE TO IT! GOD MADE OUR BODYS!! GEESE LOL!!
ReplyDelete+ ITS PIXLES GOD GET USE OF IT hunniii...
xx
If you think about it, lily is like, 16?? 17 maybe? kinda normal at that age dont u think? its a well-done graphics and u and the writer of this blog cannot handle this--then grow up.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but those are very ignorant statements toxic angel and anonymous. You're obviously very young girls and don't understand the complexity of an image like that. It might be considered art, but it's in poor taste and it's inappropriate for the article. It's inappropriate in general, but specifically it just makes no sense to use an image like this for an article dealing with that subject matter. When YOU grow up and gain some wisdom in life you'll understand these things. Until then, please learn to share your opinions with some respect.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not ignorant. Nor young in fact. I am actually 19. ;) And let's just say that while the image hardly fits the article, it's a well-done graphics.
ReplyDeleteHow am I being disrespectful with my opinion? You were WAY disrespectful and judgemental in the entire article you wrote! Take the salt out of your eye first, hunny.
Please, don't patronize my intelligence. I've been "out there" sweetie. ;) Don't even bother replying to this post dear. It'll be childish :D
If you don't want a reply then don't comment. You sure don't seem your age, you couldn't even grasp the point of this article. I never once said that the graphic wasn't well-done. I said it was inappropriate, and it is. The article wasn't at all a personal attack on the person who made the graphic, nor was it disrespectful to that person. It was, as you said, judgmental, because that is the purpose of the article. To judge, with MY OPINION, the graphic. When I said to have some respect I was referring to toxic angel calling me an idiot, not to you. Whoever you are. And for someone who's been "out there", claims to be mature, and has so much to say it sure is odd that you aren't brave enough to confront me with your username.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like my username, then just ask ;) I do not have a blogger account so I remain anon. ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you can rudely judge other people's work than I can rudely judge you and your rude opinions.
Perhaps it was a mistake. Perhaps Lily intended a different article/graphic to take the place.
And it IS pixels. A lapse in judgment maybe? You might as well dis the entire graphics sweetie.
Nothing that you've said makes any sense. Not a single sentence. This is a basic critique of the choice of image, I'd love for you to point out where I was rude to the artist. You'll have trouble finding it, since I wasn't. Unless you consider having an opinion as being rude. Lily Rose already stated that it wasn't supposed to be used, and she only included it because it had already been revealed by the blog that stole her images. I agree, it was a lapse in judgment. She acknowledged that, most of the commenters acknowledged that, so I really don't see why you keep harping on it.

ReplyDeleteLeave Nikki alone. If she feels like expressing her opinion, she CAN.
And I hate to break it to you, but the graphic was EXTREMELY innapropriate. End of Story.;
I was wrong sorry :) x
