A refreshing approach to blog nudity

This week Malgorzata pointed me at the freebiesowo blog. It's Polish (hence Mal's interest in it), but more importantly it demonstrates the division between north American and European bloggers, because Madelaine, who writes the freebiesowo blog, is not afraid to photograph n*ppl*s, lol.

Now, while this blog does photograph nipples for their own sake, self-censorship doesn't appear to occur to Madelaine because of a different, European, perspective to SL nudity. No ridiculous pasties turn up on Madelaine's pages!

Ultimately, it's pixel photography, and it's cartoon representation of human form, so not really 'pornographic' (although I would not have any issue in my blog with representing pixel porn). But Madelaine simply photographs the skins as they come, nipples and all, and it's a better representation of the skin than some of these arms crossed or hand-bra photos that proliferate when reviewing skins, simply because the shadows where the skins are designed (particularly below the bust) are hidden until you wear them. A free, open approach to nudity is vital when reviewing and photographing skins.

Don't be put off by the Polish language. Madelaine's blog is fairly intuitive, thanks to the photos, prices and hyperlinks being shown, and it's fairly easy to guess at much of what is being said (although I do have my own personal interpreter, lol!)
