Let's all take a moment to appreciate the sublimely gorgeous Christina Hendricks.

I need a cigarette after just looking at her body!

Coco

I just love looking at pictures of an older Gabriel "Coco" Chanel. No one ages gracefully these days so it's really inspiring to see a matured woman with such a distinct style and palpable character.




"Simplicity" she says, "is the keynote of all true elegance."

"An Inexplicably Big Deal"

In his latest project, Uncovered: Women in Word and Image, photographer Jordan Matter asks women to pose with exposed breasts in public locations. Next to each photo is a brief testimonial and while most of the women claimed an initial shyness, afterwards they felt (surprise surprise) euphoric!

The book's website said this, "In her foreword, author Susan Seligson states what all men and women already know: 'Breasts are an inexplicably big deal.' Whether hidden under layers of clothing, half-revealed in the service of fashion (and flirtation) or laid brazenly bare, breasts matter. They demand response, provoke moral questions and force confrontation with the very notion of taboo." - Jordan Matter Photography - Uncovered

Besides these photos being beautiful, I love the cognitive dissonance they evoke. They are sexual without offense and the women seem so...cool!

What do you think? Would you have the guts to bare (almost) all?
