SLMissWorld photogalleries are faced with arguments on whether to draw lines between Contestant photographs that could be perceived as either Art, Nudity or Porn

Contestants submit their pics here at~ SecondAvatar.com/photogallery

Moderators often delete pics that are inappropriate but the question is, do SL residents want them to be deleted? Should a fashion pageant allow nudity ?

Want to know more on your thoughts about SLMissWorld photogalleries....

Dont delete them.
Allow nudity.
Nudity rules ok.
I've clearly been single in RL for far too long!

.. and probably wouldn't have matched anyway!

As far as Miss World is concerned, and I've always maintained I see lovelier ladies every day of my life, for real; and that is, nothing less than a bikini required.
Hell, a well dressed lady is usually more pleasing to the eye than most naked ones anyway.

Surely it's not relevant for a fashion pageant? IMO a miss-world award should be awarded based on prettiness and character rather than what the entrants are willing to take off. I'd require them to be clothed and in something tasteful (so no bikini bound babes either).

Now, if you read this thinking I'm being a "no nudity is bad!" type, please do bear in mind that I'm a furry and sell adult items in-world :)
My opinion is that such an event should not devolve into a boner-fest if at all possible.

If SL "beauty contests" are to follow the same rules as real life ones, no, nudity should not be allowed in the competition.

The competitors should also be expected to use hairspray and well-concealed duct tape to keep their bathing suits from riding up and their curves looking smooth and natural.

Its fair to say that I agree with 99.9% of the things that you say :)

IF it's a normal beauty contest I'd assume it would mean with clothes, or maybe bikinis. If it was a contest called 'Miss Nude SL' then I'd assume I was not expected to wear anything to enter.

Dearly Darling,

You forgot the vaseline on the teeth for smiling. Two of my RL sisters paid for college with money garnered from beauty shows. They did not take off their clothing. I peeked at this web site and thought eh...not very original nudes pretending to be art and bad clothing choices. I suppose a talent section and interview are not an option.

Overall: Good concept poor execution.

You all have a lovely day.

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger

If it's to be nude, why bother with contestants at all? Just hand the award directly to the skin artist.

The whole concept of an SL "beauty pageant" requires a certain suspension of disbelief; nudity stretches that from the vaguely amusing to the quite absurd.

Naked avatars bother me about as much as 1980s pixelated porn.... anotherwords, Not at All.

Still makes me think of "The Sims" and the "nude patch"

NOW- show me the RL women naked, and then we'll decide! ;)

There's a touch of nip in mine, but nothing too revealing, in fact I think mine is one of the more tasteful sets....

If I were running a beauty pagent, I would not allow the nude photos. I would instead base it on beauty, poise, and intelligence. Photos like the one posted ARE pornographic in nature (even pixelated), and who's controlling the access to that site?

This is the age old where does art become erotica become porn (and I'd go one further on to "become distasteful";).

As a woman who has MANY female nudes by various artists in my rl home (no, not originals sadly), I've had some rather strange reactions. Needless to say, said people were not invited to see my home again - lol)
