Lets talk about this picture. I don't know this girl, but this is what I dislike:You cannot see her hands.
Her feet are in pointy-toed heels.
These two details render this female helpless.
Her hands which are her physical access to tools, technology, aid, aggression, and defense... seemingly disappear into thin air. I would be interested to take a brief survey of ads that include a model's hands.
Her feet which could run or kick box... are instead fitted inside a high-heeled shoe. This not only limits her movement (as typical of any elevated foot-wear), but also disguises the original shape of her feet.
I see a vulnerable and grotesque body, backed against a wall. Her back and feet are arched suggestively, but her face is scared. The independence inherent in appendages has left her. Is their absence erotic?
Lastly, I am reminded of a Marge Piercy poem that we had to read in high school once. If you follow the link, please note the irony of the margin ads.
