Use of B-Pics

Hudson_Hawk Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,550 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 11/2/2006	The thread about wedding night pics got me thinking. How do you ladies feel about B-pics being hung in a person's house? Do you think it would be weird to walk into someone's house and see a black and white of a nude back or hip on the wall? I'm thinking about having a few of my Bpics framed (like my avatar). Some of them are a little risque, but not embarrassingly so in my opinion. But I'm a lot more open than other people. The last thing I want to do is make someone uncomfortable in my house but it seems like such a shame to relegate them all to FI's album and our bedroom. For clarification, I'm talking about pics with no butts or boobs, etc... That's Mrs. Hudson_Hawk to you... Over and out.

Arty pictures of oneself, even if it isn't apparent that it is oneself are just ripe for embarrassing conversations. "Oh is that a hip?" "Yes" "Innnnnteresting .." Even if Irving Penn had taken them ... it seems ... indulgent.

Rock_of_Love Ideal Rock Total Posts: 996 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 1/7/2009	Hmmm...I don't know. My instinct says keep 'em in the bedroom. But, I could possibly seem them in an "adult centric" house in maybe a bar / wine rack area. Do you have something like this? A space that is for entertaining, but more focused on adults? I couldn't see pics like this in the living/family room, kitchen (ha ha!), dining room...maybe a long dark hallway?? ~ * ~ Found my Rock of Love!!

DiamondsforDee Cut Rock Total Posts: 127 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 8/21/2008	I think there is an extremely fine line here. If you stay on the safe side of the line, I think having some of your b-pics framed and on display would be incredibly gorgeous and artistic, if you venture off too far I think it ends up looking kind of inappropriate and perhaps even trashy (depending on how far you were to go). A bare back in black and white would be beautiful, a bare front... not so much. Our neighbor got b-pics for her husband as an anniversary gift. They are extremely risque and even include another girl. How do I know this? Oh because they are on display on their tv like a screen saver. So anytime they have company over and have music on the tv scans through semi and fully naked pictures of the wife both alone and with some random girl. IMHO, that is taking it a bit far. It's really uncomfortable so I tend to stay outside when they have parties. Not that you were considering this route, just thought I'd share my crazy neighbor story!

It would stay in the bedroom (not on a wall), or in the album that they were given to him in. ___________________________ I AM Mrs B... with Lil' B on the way!!! Living life to the fullest...

Bia Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,336 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 3/28/2008	If you like the pictures, I would frame one or two and put them anywhere you want. Honestly, how often do you have pictures of yourself that you really love? Your avatar pic, DEFINITELY frame-worthy IMO. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it Salvador Dali

sunnyd Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,579 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 11/5/2007	I used to babysit for 2 kids back in the day (Wednesday ) and their mom had some boudoir-y stuff hanging on the bedroom wall. Which is fine, but that was the kids' favorite room. So I had to see mommy topless with her arms wrapped around her tatas. Kinda disturbing! I like the idea of having some stuff out that's not obviously from a b-pic shoot. But then it gets put away after the kids can walk/talk/have babysitters.

cocolaw Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,334 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/29/2008	also if you are open, chances are your friends are open too! i'm trying to imagine walking into a friends house and seeing that-i might make a joke about it but i would def. not get offended, unless there was nudity and children around. the more i consider this, the more i think it's fine! the reason most people don't have art in their homes is because they can't afford it. if you can, and you have some interesting and beautiful pieces, then why not display them? like an art gallery..you don't run away offended when you see nudity BECAUSE IT'S EVERYWHERE! i know a lot of people will disagree, but i don't think it matters who the photograph is of...if it's beautiful, and it happens to be a friend of mine, i'm ok with seeing it in her house!

Clairitek Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,861 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 7/21/2008	I would keep them in your master bedroom or in your closet (if you have a walk in with a light or something). When I finally get around to having my b-pics done that's where I would put them. *----** C-tek

LilyKat Cut Rock Total Posts: 408 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 6/8/2009	Just think carefully about everyone who could possibly see them, and whether you would mind. Parents, grandparents, kids, strangers - they've all wandered in and out of my bedroom at one point or another, and I would DIE before I let them see those kind of pics. No matter how tastefully done, they still show a side of you that you might not want to show to great-aunt Betty. Be aware that just because you're not embarrassed by it, other people might be. But if you're sure you wouldn't care, and it wouldn't bother any potential viewers too much, then it's not a problem.

rhbgirl24 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,092 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 2/6/2009	See I would be perfectly fine with it - as long as the pic was TOO racy. :-) I think if its done tasteful its fine. But I would keep it probably to the bedroom, hallways, den or something like that - not like the formal dining room. lol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *MARRIED* and a Mrs.!!!!

I don't think I could display them anywhere except bedroom or away from general public viewing. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau

ETA: Hudson, sorry to reply without answering your question. That was kinda rude. As far as your avatar, I would never know it came from a b-pic session if you hadn't said. Pics like that, IMO, would be fine to hang anywhere. But, if it is anything that would be, to the prude eye, a potentially risque pic, I would keep it in an area no one would see if they were a guest in your home.

lala2332 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 523 Last Post: 10/29/2009 Member Since: 7/15/2008	i think the more artsy-risque ones would look great framed in the master bath, or if you have a large walk-in closet on the wall. I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I think you should enjoy those pictures, and anyone that is close enough to go in the more private areas of your home. My friend has a huge closet. it has a desk in it and an island that has drawers and a few shelves, so she has a bunch of wall space and in my friend's art collection was a nude sketch (not of either of them) and it hangs in there, I like it there, it kind of fits in with the room.
