Yeah, **kells-bells** , but the girl can _wear_ a see-through top!

And BrittneySpears can look like trailer trash too, but _should they_?

I personally thought (and still think) that Catherine Zeta Jones is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She is stunning.

And I didnt even see her nips.

Why the Hell not? More visible breasts is a god thing in my book. They are at least doing it for a quantifiable purpose: nips=press.

I was more curious about women who are not in the “Biz” who donned such garb. Apparently, we have no such “thrill-seeking” woman here on the boards.

She’s high on my list for a few very simple reason:

1. Presence. She appears in a crowd and she makes that crowd. She completes it.

2. Face. I’m a sucker for faces. And accents, but that’s something else. Her face is just too yummy.

3. She seems to be a genuinely nice and happy person. Those two things are incredibly attractive. To me, at least.

J-Lo didn’t even look that good to me two nights ago. Ashley Judd, on the other hand . . .

Yikes almighty. She looks like Robin Williams in drag.

I agree that they’re not unsightly, but I think there’s an allure to not knowing the particulars. What do those tits really look like out of a bra? What’s their shape? What do the nipples look like? How big are they? How dark? MMmmmmm! I think not knowing is sexier.

On the same principle, I think it’s sexier to see a woman strip to become naked than to have a woman just come out naked. It’s the wondering and the finding out that’s so alluring.

In a top like that, or any super-revealing outfit–not so much wondering.

BTW, some magazine got a half-dozen normal women to wear the green dress (from last year) out of the town. Then they had them report back as to the reactions and how they liked wearing it. Also had pictures of them out in it. 'Twas interesting. Wish I can remember where I saw that.

My question about Ms. Lopez is: What was the point? Publicity? Hell, the only people in America who _haven’t_ seen her nipples meet weekly in a broom closet at the Fargo Holiday Inn.  
And the closet ain’t crowded.

At this point, the only way Jennifer can up the shock value would be to go down on Julia Roberts in the middle of the Oscars. ([sub]'Course, if that happened, I would watch every Jennifer Lopez film from here to eternity. 😃 [/sub])

To follow **ChiefScott’s** focus on “non-Biz” women … when a woman wears a low cut top, showing some cleavage, are we guys supposed to look? When she leans forward?

If you’re gonna show 'em, I’m gonna look.

If I show em, I damn well expect you to look!!  
And if you ever see me in a see through top, you can be pretty confident that you’ll soon see me without it!

Well, it’s up to you whether to look or not, but if you don’t, I’ll probably assume you’re gay. [sub]Not that there’s anything wrong with that![/sub]😃

Not that I have anything to add to this thread, but personally, I like J-Lo. She seems proud of her body, regardless of what the “press” says (bunch of putzs!), in the interviews I’ve seen of her she does seem genuinely nice, plus I like her voice and her acting.

Is she the best thing since sliced bread? No, but she’s good enough and I’m content with that. I don’t think she makes herself out to be The Queen of the World, unlike some.
