The New Hottest Trend is Taking Sexy Photos with Your Friends
LatestIt’s okay to get slightly worried when Today‘s Savannah Guthrie starts a sentence off with, “We noticed something in Tuesday’s New York Post and it caught our attention.” Is she going to talk about their amazing comments on Lena Dunham’s “blobby” physique, or just the most recent time they accused someone who has allegedly been raped of being a prostitute? No, this week’s topic is slightly tamer, though not by much: ladies, empower thyselves with sexy group photos!
You can do it for a bachelorette party, a big birthday or maybe even a random office get together. “I think it’s liberating, it’s bonding. Girls are always so critical of ourselves and of each other so to be with supportive people and do this together and try to not be judging yourself or each other, I think it’s awesome,” one woman told Today on Wednesday.
The photos in the Post‘s spread are all of conventionally attractive women, though plenty that don’t have model-thin bodies. And while some of the photos are clearly on the sexy side, there’s at least one set-up that looks just like a classic Dove Beauty ad. Today managed to head to a boudoir photography studio on a day where they were shooting three women with the type of abs Shape magazine is always claiming they can give you.
When she was in college, a good friend of mine was heavy into photography. For her senior assignment, she had a group of her best friends get up super early with her and trapse to the woods, where she took individual and group shots of them totally nude, like wood nymphs. The photos were beautiful, and at the time, I remember her saying how down (though admittedly nervous) everyone was about doing it. The general conceit was, “I want these photos for when I don’t look like this.”
