I find it hilarious that this debate is split, unless I've missed an email or two, entirely along gender lines. I know I always look to men to tell if I'm right when I feel objectified. Thanks, guys, for letting all of us know we're wrong.
 
I think the most accurate assessment was lost in the bigger debate - "trite." The image itself is boring and has been done a thousand times before. But I guess your subject got you the attention you wanted. Kudos on that!

Great art will always offend somebody. It is a brave artist who puts up work that he knows will be controversial
Women are most "objectified"  and least respected in societies where they are most covered up
Would you find a woman in a burqa objectionable?

So, how would you like a nearly naked guy in the same pose?

I agree with the other women here that it is offensive and degrading.  The photo is not about a person and doesn't tell us anything about her.  It's only about the costume and attitude which are both offensive to women.

Indeed! Personally I think she's adorable and so is the outfit. And I'm old enough to remember the pin-ups of the 40's. Betty Grable anyone?

A pretty girl in a cute outfit.

As I mentioned................
I was going after the pin up style of the 50's.


Anything more that YOU may
read in to is not my problem.
