too risque for facebook

portland model photographer

I’m always happy when a model likes one of my images enough to use as an avatar on facebook or MM or whatever other networking site they frequent. In fact, I feel honored since most of these model have loads of other pics from other photogs to choose from and they decide on mine.

 

This photo, however, was nixed from Nicki’s profile by FB and now they’re just giving her a boring, generic avatar! Oh FB– when will you grow up? This is tame by British Vogue or UK Elle standards. Does there need to be a European version of FB?

    I know what you mean about European Magazine standards. Even American rolling stone is more risque than this. Go to the mall and look at Fredricks of Hollywood / Victoria Secret posters on their store windows. However, I think some of the difference is that Nicki has a lovely curvaceous figure. Many European Fashion Mags may show breast, but it is generally a very thin woman. Just my two cents. :)
