Without a doubt, a bona fide classic of Marilyn Monroe!
But how does it rate in contemporary terms? Would you say it’s hall-of-fame-worthy by today’s standards?
In other words, is it still among the best nude photographic images you’ve ever seen?

Yes it's an iconic photo.....because it's Marilyn Monroe....and helped launch Playboy.

But if one didn't know it was Marilyn Monroe the photo itself is nothing particularly special.

I love Marilyn, but this photo simply looks OLD to me. From the background, which appears to be a hideous hue of faded red, to the absolutely awful dye-job of her hair, this picture does NOT stand the test of time. Actually, I think is would've held up much better as a black & white. Ironically, have seen plenty hotter pics of MM with her clothes on.

Marilyn was a sexier "bombshell" type when she was carrying more weight, in my opinion. Platinum-haired Marilyn with curves was one of the sexiest women of all time ; detract from the key combination of ingredients and she was just another pretty face.

Why does this picture look old? Because it is over 60 years old. Do you know how difficult and expensive color photography was back then? Indoor color photography required flashbulbs to get any kind of decent image. Don't try to compare this to any of the digital technology of today or recent decades prior. Remember that Heff had lots of photos to choose from and decided to use this one. I don't understand you. Your comments knock the picture down yet you voted hall of fame. If you judge for induction by your listed standards then why aren't you explaining how this photo meets these standards?

A good point and a fair question... thanks for asking!
As I'm sure you're aware, there are often exceptions to a rule or so-called "standard". In this case, my judgement was not based on contemporary standards but on the photo's historical meaning and symbolic importance to nude photography as a genre. For that reason alone, despite its flaws, I reluctantly, but responsibly, voted it as a Hall-of-Fame photograph. In fact, it was this dichotomy of mixed opinion that initially prompted me to post this relic of a pic in the first place.

Winobore makes up the requirements and let's us know what we are allowed to consider ...as the FOs members leave the thread in droves.
Are you the President and CEO of this phantom org, and is your closet the headquarters?
I can see where it's grown too big to operate under your Speed Racer bed...

:rofl:

Who cares where it is, It's cyberspace! It's wherever I want it to be. It's everywhere, or it's nowhere - that's the beauty of it!

Hey Dilbert (aka "Dildo") I would suggest you do the following:

1. Open lid at the top of your head
2. Carefully remove the little hamster and running wheel.
3. Fill empty vessel with copious amounts of imagination
4. Have a good life!

So...I am right.
It is a made-up org, you just wanna pretend to have relevance and stuff...and you're not too good at fooling people over 70 IQ.

I can't imagine why any biz would want you handling it's affairs...so...post a link to ANYTHING that shows there IS an org ... who actually has you out there doing biz in their name.

Betcha can't.

:troll2:

You're panicking with each person who catches on...you're too extreme in your posts to be anything but a liar and a poltroon.

At least you are amusing in a train wreck kinda way...

 

[Philbert]

I was reminded of a favorite old song that seems to be written by someone who understands you...brother from another mother kinda thing.
A perfect match...

Have a good life! :thefinger

 

[wmonbear]

You guys are investing a lot of energy into a non-issue.

Never was it my intent to try and "fool" anyone with my threads.
Didn't realize I actually had to say "for entertainment purposes only" - thought everyone knew that's what it was all about.

I mean really... why would an actual online organization conduct its business from a thread in a forum owned by an unaffiliated host?

Anyway, so that there's no confusion, the attached re-post is 100% genuine, with no embellishments, and best represents what I'm about and my primary interest in Freeones. By surveying the Freeones Community, I'm looking to document the types of NPI's (nude photographic images) that elicit the strongest overall visual appeal. Why? you may ask. Well, besides the reasons sighted in the attached, it genuinely interests me to see which photos turn out to be "shining stars" and which turn out to be "duds".

Can no longer let this fester... I mean, who do I think I am anyway!

Well, as it turns out, I happen to be the founder, chief administrator, and commissioner (5 seasons running) for the #1 [and largest] nude photo tournament in the world (over 500+ photos submitted and reviewed on an annual basis).

Here's how the system works: photos are submitted, then rated by a diverse panel of 5 to 10 seasoned (experienced) judges. Based on the average score attained, and a predetermined minimum threshold, a pic will either be qualified for playoff contention or will be eliminated. Following the end of a 12-month long regular season, the playoffs, comprising the highest-rated photos of the year, kicks into gear with elimination-style matches, often pitting 3 pics against one another at a time. Four divisional winners are crowned champions, including Photo of Year award winners for both Solo and Multi-model divisions, with runner-ups elected as well . Upon claiming their respective titles, these 8 battle-tested photographs are systematically inducted into the tourney's Hall of Fame. This has been and continues to be an extremely successful time-tested format.

As good as this methodology has been, there's remains a single problem, albeit a minor one. With such a large volume of quality nude images competing against one another, many excellent pics find themselves eliminated from contention, often by a single vote, even though they may virtually be of the same stature of the pic which eliminated them.

So, why this thread? Freeones community of voters could conceivably play a viable role in "certifying" deserving NPI’s (nude photographic images) for Hall-of-Fame induction.

Some of you spoke about lacking a "frame of reference" for rendering a proper judgment - which is a valid point. To address this issue, the plan going forward is to 'roll out' some of the more successful NPI’s of past seasons along with a few that were not so successful. This exercise would serve as a training period to build and identify the parameters needed to render a more educated and informed photo assessment.

Following this orientation period, Freeones voters will have begun to develop the skill set necessary to become seasoned reviewers of nude images. At this time, Freeones members will be encouraged to submit photographs they believe posses Hall-of-Fame potential. Overall, we’re looking at about a 6 to 8 week process to arrive at this juncture.

New thread series with a realistic premise coming soon to "Niche and Fetish Corner".

^^ TLDR. Nobody cares enough about what you're doing to read that hot mess of garbage.

But he's moving his shit to a different forum. So if you're scoring at home, it's now:
Trolls - 1
wmonbear - 0

Good game though.

Glad to see that you're giving up the fight. Very French of you. I'd also like to point out that Eva, the stick figure drawing in my poll got more total votes than this thread.

I don't know about everyone else, but I enjoyed ruining your threads. I may just have to chase you down in the other forum one of these days...

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Are you the President and CEO of this phantom org, and is your closet the headquarters?

I don't think he operates out of a closet. I'm certain he's posting this shit while sitting in his grandma's basement/bedroom.

Enough of you people and your personal attacks. Let's have a little more decorum and constructive discussion.

Do you use the Wegman's brand talcum powder or Wegman's is just closer to your house? Medicated or not? I only buy it for the summertime for a little powdering on my balls for those humid days. We don't get many of those days in Jersey but I like to toss a little into my shoes to absorb some foot moisture also. Can you give me a little guidance? There is a product called Medinex in a white bottle with blue lettering that works great but can be hard to find. Ever heard of it?

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I like Gold Bond because it leaves a tingly feeling and doesn't really smell like babies. We tards like talc because it alleviates chaffing when you furiously masturbate.

The best I know of is a Louisiana ointment, used for a time by the World Champion New Orleans Saints, called Bubba's Butt Paste.
Works like it's name suggests...
I checked when I first heard of it to be sure it wasn't a joke...nope, real stuff.

Louisiana...gotta love it!

Oh how I love this post! You made my day, Ace... yet again.
You know, I use to not be any where near as arrogant as I am now. But then, I "encountered" you, Ace. You have a way of feeding my ego which makes me feel so damn superior, like an adult over child - must be that lame, shallow little immature mind of yours.
Wow... just had a revelation! Got the perfect job for you, Ace. Because it gratifies me to help the mentally disabled, I'm making YOU my Poster Child for Troll's Disease, recently recognized by the Mental Health Association as a stubborn yet curable cyber-borne mental illness.


Ace, seen here in one of his finer moments, despite a bout with constipation
(from sewer diet)

Regarding "moving": you got it totally wrong, troll - I'm not moving at all, I'm EXPANDING! I told you where I would be because I want you there! I USE you, Ace, to provide my threads with a few free bumps (great for visibility!). Make sure you're there when I launch it, and don't make me have to come look for you either. This is going to be fun... LOVING Freeones, right now! I think I may have found Home!

Rather than agitate, my goal here is to enlighten, enrich, and educate.. Wallowing about in the sewer with trolls is not what I'm here for. An amusing distraction to be sure, but I have a much higher agenda, and so, will be redirecting more of my energy toward accomplishing that end.
