Offended By A Naked Breast? Surely Not...

The Daughter of the Sun Instagram account run by Amy Woodruff, better known to many as “Naked Yoga Breastfeeding Mom” has been shut down, and fans are coming out en masse to get it back online.
Woodruff became a viral star two years ago when she posted a photo of herself, yes, doing yoga while naked and breastfeeding, on her blog, Daughter of the Sun. But nobody knew much about her until she gave a recent interview to Baby Center about "where she is now." Since that was published on August 6, Woodruff's “simple” life (she lives in a teepee in Hawaii, sells jewelry and handmade goods on Etsy and her partner is a musician) has been interrupted by a firestorm of online commentary.

Story continues below.

Is the Internet just one giant small town bubble?  At least Amy is free to post whatever she likes on her own blog.

By the way-- it is a beautiful photo of her and her sweet young daughter.

Astronaut Suicides

I understand that some believe that we should return to the surface of the moon but I have to say this bluntly, we have been there before.

President Barack Obama

Astronaut Suicides is a photo series by Neil Dacosta:

Funny photographs and I think it gets the point across about this dreadful economy, and cutbacks everywhere, although it's so hard to agree on where they make those hard choices.

Photo Spread(em) by Stephen Meisel

VMAGAZINE | WINTER 2008/9

Provocative photo spread(em) by Stephen Meisel bothers me. I know that's what he does and I appreciate his talent but much of the images show the guys to girls ratio at 5 to 1. Coupled with cellphone snapping snatches and I repeat, this spread(em) bothers me.

Pierre et Gilles


The Pierre et Gilles style has known nothing but success since their first meeting and the beginning of their collaboration in 1976. Their photographs embellished with paint (these are unique works) have imposed this singular iconography inspired by images of pop, mythological, enchanting, burlesque, religious and erotic natures.

Pierre et Gilles create portraits and self-portraits which they address with provocation, irony, tenderness or gravity. "Self-portraits have determined our work from the start. It is a ritual, which allows to double ourselves like looking in a mirror; they reflect us and show us such as we are. They are also experiments, very personal research that we can only create with ourselves."
