You have GOT to be kidding me with this.

Okay, let's just call this series "Naked Chics on Chairs."

If we're going to celebrate the human form rather than the chair form, could we pleeeeeeeease try naked men? Please?

Mais non, M. Te-Oh-Oh. This one hasn't even a chair! C'est un stool!

Sorry, I meant the politically incorrect but correctly spelled "Chicks".

wende--
Needless to say, no argument here on that point.

But with all the amazingly talented photographers, and GLORIOUSLY beautiful chairs in all the world, why do so many of these resort to nudes and near-nudes in any form?!?

Indeed... upon further reflection, it occurs to me that if I want naked men purely to look it, they're not hard to find in my neck of the woods... but a good chair is much more challenging.

I agree. While this pic is of an incredibly beautiful body, it does not "celebrate the chair".

It took me a minute to realize what wende meant, and why they're not hard to find there; too bad I'm having to drink tea, and not coffee this morning.

By the way, I think that the image, while being completely devoid of a chair, is a very lovely picture that looks like it's in Paris in the what -- 1950's? I like that about it. Because I like anything that reminds me of Paris, of course.
