Boob Log Update

Fri Oct 2, 2009, 10:23 AM
Jeezus. I couldn't help it when I saw them all on today's daily favorites. I mean... COME ON!

As always, not just about boobs, but the often talentless parading of the nude or provocatively displayed female form. In the order in which they were spotted:

Edit: Addition from 10/2/09: [link]
REALLY? Ugh.

Look at my thong and the way it draws attention to my heart-shaped ass. I'm not sure why my head is in this shot at all.

Beautiful girl? Crotch shot? Check. Girl on girl action? Check. Easy photo set-up? Check. Black and white to make it look more like art? Check. You know, I almost would have minded less if there had been sad/mournful expressions used, because then it would have been more of a hurt/comfort mentality (not worlds better, but a tiny bit)... but with the playful grin, all I see is an excuse for girl-on-girl action for the wank fantasies of the masses.

I'm sorry, why was this so popular? Give me any reason that isn't along the lines of "she's a pretty girl; people like looking at pretty girls" and I'll shut up right now.

Bah.

Less bothersome to me, as it is a work of art, requiring a keen eye for caricature and an appealing application of smooth lines and snazzy colors. But I can't believe that's more than only half the reason why this was popular.


*sigh*

Okay, the Boob Log contestants aren't the only things that bug me on the main pages. I'm also a bit tired of Dollfie photos (much as I admire the craft and artistry in dollfies, and yes, I own one). To me, it's just another example of someone else doing all the work. Unless the artist posting it created all the make-up and/or the clothes on the doll themselves, it rates the same as a photo of a naked woman or man to me. In the case of blatant nudity, nature has done all the work. In the case of dollfies, it's almost worse, seeing as some talented craftsman had to create that imitation of life and sculpt it to be beautiful and desirable AND functional. Not a huge rant, I'm just pointing it out. But is it just me?

Also, I must acknowledge the LARGE amount of substandard artistic endeavors that are popular only because they're fanart. I get that we like what we already know we like, but unless it's a new twist on an old favorite (like getting to see two manly characters waltzing in dresses and faving it for the lulz) then what really is the point of faving just another drawing of a character you like, especially if the original art is superior? Again, not a raging ranter, here, just pointing it out to balance out the boobage and to present a more well-rounded pointing of fingers.

I'm done now.

  • Mood: Lonely
  • Listening to: The crazy-gigantic amount of music from Laura
  • Reading: Fanfics, when they're good.
  • Watching: Reruns of nothing good.
  • Playing: Freecell, ha! (Not a gamer.)
  • Eating: Beef flavor Maruchan Ramen (I miss the roast beef)
  • Drinking: Water. Lots of water.

Hey! :wave:
I featured some of your Aztec works in my journal.
Oh, and what about your comics Godlinks?

Well, thank you. Godlings is on hold at the moment. I'm in school and working, plus building a portfolio to try to become a medical illustrator, so I have no time for serious comic work anymore. Maybe someday. *cries*

I'm not bad...
I'm just drawn that way. :heart:

I did! I did just recently! I enjoyed it very much. However, while I'm sure I've heard of it before, I do not know what ACEN is, and I have yet to Google it. Also don't know how able I'll be to attend any conventions, fun as they may be, what with school and work now. But I'll look into it! Glad to see you're doing well, and thank you for the button! If you do the AIM thing, I'm still rowenmikhail!

i would do the AIM thing but the internet is too spotty where I live to guarantee that I would remain online for a conversation. -_-

ACEN is a con in chicago in may. When did you go back to school?

Not a major thing, but I decided to try to become a medical illustrator, which means grad school, and the grad schools require college-level classes in biologies and anatomies and that sort of thing. So I'm taking some community college classes toward that goal, even though I'm not sure I still want to be a medical illustrator. SO... we'll see. My mother is, as ever, always on my back about being indecisive and unmotivated. Nyih... long, bitchy story.

I'll keep in touch. I do check my e-mails, too.
