What is it with most llamas insisting on keeping bras on? even with the most not see through fabrics on?

Wasn't that a symbol of oppression burned in the 1960s?

More seriously I see perfect shots ruined by bra lines.

Oh yeah, bras. I agree but on a different reason.

I think there was a flip to the feminism in the early 90's to a 'new' take on it where the adoption of the 'other' mindset that I kinda call the "victoria's secret" view. Here I think that women thought that it was their choice to suddenly elect to wear all the garb, (which most likely is just good marketing and consumerism and not much more.) Then, of course they may not realize that hugging someone with so much engineering and construction going on in their undergarment is like hugging a brick silicone boobed person of the earlier days!

Granted that's not possible because of all the dirty looks I'll get from folks around here; even if you can't see anything under clothing the nipple would still show giving away that you're not wearing a bra. The story of my life!

I hear you. I've gotten very dirty looks and even rude comments at times to the point where I will cover up, but, generally I try to avoid all highly constructed pieces of confinement.

Modeling is about the look.  Comfort is irrelevant.  The natural lines of an uninhibited breast trump cups and cones and pads every time.

Unless you're shooting nudes, I don't see why you should care so much.

I've actually had plenty of occasions where a bra, or for that matter, underwear, disrupted the lines of a dress.

Something like this


Or,


Which is not to say that the rants demanding a model take off her bra when she's not comfortable have merit.  If it's an issue, get a different model, or a different outfit.  For a paid / client / agency shoot, such things should be sorted out in advance.

I have worn a strapless bra under my wedding dress and no one even noticed. If I was to wear no bra at all, it would have made me look flat.

It can work either way, depending on the dress, and the woman.  But, sometimes, no bra looks better.

As I said, same can be true of underwear, especially if the dress, or pants, are clingy.

Typical "if you can't win the argument correct their spelling" situation, only this time it's picking on someone's age. Great job, you get a medal.

In Europe they can also wear minis with no undies, US is a whole different story however.

I don't know where some of you people get your info, but any girl wearing a mini this side of the pond with no knicks (unless she's a B-list celeb out for attention) will be pilloried as a 'slapper' ('ho' in US vernacular, I believe)...
Remember that apart from the Netherlands, Scandinavia and the UK, most of Europe is still technically catholic and while most girls don't even know where the nearest church is, let alone attend on a regular basis, some habits die hard...

Strange things, the things that go on in Europe all the time behind our backs, innit?

OP, only thing for you left to do is to call them 'funbags' and there will be offcial beatings. No more tits for you! *sticks tongue out*

Admittedly we do think Socialism is a bit right-wing, hate handguns, eschew showers in favour of a dry wipe once a week, cultivate armpit-hair, only brush our teeth on public holidays and routinely burn witches for the fun-factor...

I like an unfettered pair of 'jubblies' as much as the next bloke, but since it's interweb modelling and not 'real' modelling, quite a lot of the girls booked through this and other sites need a bit of support...if they're willing to 'get 'em out' in the first place that is... lots of models here in Germany only offer 'dessous' (lingerie) rather than nude or implied and most of them appear to be 30+...

...take my new Avi - lovely girl with really gorgeous boobs - and not a chance in hell of doing anything interesting involving 'less clothes'...

Before your masses yearning to view free flood good old Europe it should be stated that in most cases you will find a small thong at further examination...

You have been examining closely?

I agree with your post but weight lifting can help reduce fat stored in breasts.

When I was single, yes.

Model Mayhem is full of hobbiest models or model wannabees, whose breasts don't make the grade to go without a bra but who want to model.  And they are not big to where they have to have support.  They have the droopies, sad to say, and as I said, it isn't a matter of age.  Just wander around ports on MM and you'll see this quite frequently.

There is no "grade" of breast quality that must be achieved for a woman to be able to go braless. This type of thought is to be expected from boys MY age (I'm 17), not adults who claim to be artists. You sound like a child. xo

I'm from the Netherlands, and dressing without undies is just as bad as it is in the USA, Germany, or wherever. I think it's really funny how a lot of people seem to think the Dutch are this very free folk! Smoking weed is condoned by our government, but in society it's still not a 'normal' thing to do and will be frowned upon. Doing hard drugs is definitely not okay. The church is still important for a lot of people as well, the southern part is catholic, the northern part is protestant.

Back to the topic: I do wear bra's, eventhough I have a small cup. If I don't, and I run, jump, whatever, it hurts. I find it a lot warmer as well, and regular clothing fits a lot nicer, otherwise I'd just look like a 12 year old girl. If I'd do a shoot, wearing something that shows ugly bra lines, I'll take it off. If not wearing a bra doesn't add something substantial, I'm not taking it off.

Nope. It was the 1970's.

In the 60's they just dispensed with bras because everyone was happy and high. Not necessarily in that order.

Of course many of the women who burned them (no, not all) kept a few extra bras and wore one around - so there would be something to burn if they happened onto another demonstration, no doubt.

Who remembers free love and nickle beers??

Same here.
