sewhite2000 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Well, it appears my thread entitled "Racy Barbara Stanwyck Photo" proved too racy for TCM Administrators. I've been away from the boards for about 15 hours, but I can't find it anywhere. Thankfully, I don't seem to have received any warning points. It was not my intention to distribute "pornography!" Not that I actually a believe a semi-nude female pic of a woman just sitting there and staring at the camera is in any way pornography. I figured if it was innocuous enough to not be deleted by Facebook, it was okay for here. But I was wrong. I find it sort of amusing that a 95-year-old photo from the actual Ziegfeld Follies is deemed too racy from the message boards for a network that loves to show us movies about a fictionalized, less racy version of the Ziegfeld Follies. Appreciate the irony as you will. I also find it sort of ridiculous, but America remains to this day a country that's really uptight about non-pornographic presentations of the body, while virtually all depictions of violence pass with a PG-13 sticker these days. Hope the people who got to see it enjoyed it. Perhaps I should have titled the thread "Favorite Recipe for Gazpacho" or something. It might have survived a little longer without being censored. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineHoard Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I saw it and I thought it wasn't that racy; it was kind of artsy. She was just posing and not doing anything naughty. Anyway, I'm glad I got to see it before it was taken down and thank you for sharing. Barbara is my favorite actress. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewhite2000 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 I guess I'm not very observant. I didn't realize there was any exposure. Well, we'll see if this thread survives now that you've posted that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedya Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 There's a half-second of Jean Harlow bare breast in Red-Headed Woman. There's a scene about 15 minutes in where she gives her roommate (Una Merkel, if memory serves) the nightgown she's wearing, and just before the cut, you can see Harlow isn't wearing a bra. And TCM has shown Ecstasy and Mahogany before, among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always the chance though that it could have been a pastie bra that looked like the real thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Really. Americans seem to be the only culture in uproar over a nippo. Nice early Stanwyck photo. (sorry, was looking for a photo of a dog's belly, but when finding this just HAD to post it) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I once wrote a treatise that was a list of things that made one "American". Explaining that being an American citizen was a good thing, but being "American" was an entirely different state of mind. And on that list was this........ Americans will turn a blind eye or think it OK that their children spend hours watching cartoons or play video games in which the "hero" shoots, stabs, blows up or beats up their opponents. But GOD FORBID they should see TWO SECONDS of JANET JACKSON'S t i t! I also mentioned that child rearing "mavens" and groups like the LA LECHE LEAGUE are OK with Mothers pushing a breast in their kid's faces even up until the age of 4 or more, but PLEASE don't let 'em SEE one on TV or in a movie!

Princess of Tap Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Bette Davis and Myrna Loy both posed for nude statues. It would be nice to see some of those. And I've seen a very artistic nude photo of Joan Blondell. Even though a lot of her is covered up, it doesn't leave a lot to the imagination. There's just no accounting for American Pilgrim culture.

I always found this scene from Gold Diggers of 1933 mighty impressive. (I really like the way she brushes her hair). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 As long as we're on the subject, what ever happened to "The Underwear" thread? I still can see Gary Cooper's post someplace in my mind's eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
