We can spot 'em a mile away

We have a knack for picking future successes out of a crowd of beauties. Our early favourites never seem to fail to become standouts in their fields. Jеnnіfеr Cоnnеlly, Hеіdі Klυm and Lаеtіtіа Cаstа are just a few examples.

Page 3 Gіrl Nіkkаlа Stott is another. Our friends at Sіmply Gоrgеоυs have published the results of their Page 3 Girl popularity poll. The fact that Nikkala, our long time favourite nude model, won it by a landslide doesn't surprise us. We predicted Nikkala's huge popularity a couple of years ago when she first appeared on Page 3. We are currently trying to get her to appear in a video for us.

Today, we want to point out yet another of these lovely ladies. Mіchеllе Mаrsh is the newest Page 3 Girl to exhibit the kind of beauty we know will make her a huge success.

What kind is that, you might ask. Why superbeauty of course. To learn how to spot these girls yourself, click here to learn more about superbeauty.

A positive view of the moral import of beauty from someone other than us

We have been alone in writing about the moral imperative inherent in female beauty for some years now. But it looks like it's an idea whose time may be coming, reaching even the established academia, including the writing of Hаrvаrd Prоfеssоr of Aesthetics and the Gеnеrаl Thеоry of Value, Elаіnе Scаrry.

Scarry contradicts the politicized dogma by suggesting that beauty actually makes us more just, and more virtuous.

It's no news to us, but it's nice to finally have some company.

From a Body in Mind member in the Philippines:

Hеllо Dwаynе and Leanne, I can't describe to you how happy I am and appreciate this so much. I have been admiring your fine work since last year and I felt that it was no longer enough for me to read the public pages. The photographs are expertly taken and I wish I could take photos as good as these.

Thank you so much, Alan

Beauty vs Sex

I received a spam email from a porn site today. Normally I have ZERO interest in pornography. But because the women in the ad were so beautiful, I checked it out.

I was disappointed to discover that all of the images of these lovely ladies had been spoiled by a certain attitude, an attitude that is so pervasive today throughout the world that it remains practically unchallenged. This attitude is the belief that a woman's sexuality is her beauty. Thus, inspite of the extraordinary physical beauty of the models on the site, every photo had blatant and cliched sexual overtones slipped into it, things like coy finger biting, or exaggerated pouting, etc.

It's too bad that this porn site, like so many regular sites, and like so many people, period, don't realize a certain truth, a truth that will make the whole world a more beautiful place, a truth that will make everyone a lot happier, and a truth so benevolent that it will even make pornographers a hell of a lot more money. It's a simple truth that we have discovered here at Body in Mind, and have yet to hear from anyone else, and that is: beauty sells, not sex.

Like most truths, this may sound like nonsense at first, but there is ample proof for anyone to see, everywhere, all the time.

For example, young and sexy Brіtnеy Spеаrs is a performer who believes that beauty is sex. Thus she dresses and acts sexually, onstage and off, and sings almost exclusively about sex and sexual attraction. Meanwhile, the largest selling female performer in the world is not Brіtnеy Spеаrs, but mature and beautiful Shаnіа Twаіn, who continues to beat Britney in not only record sales, but popularity polls as well. How does she do it? By dressing sexily, not sexually, which means with feminine sophistication, not vulgar tastelessness. When dressing she chooses between t-shirts and jeans or lacey body stockings. Britney chooses betweem blue jean hip-huggers or pink plastic hip-huggers. Shania sings about romantic relationships, not sexual ones. In fact, Shania's latest song is about wanting a man she can love forever, and her latest album, entitled UP!, features - no, not an erect penis, but a cute happy picture of the always positive and cheerful Shania, fully dressed of course, beautiful and sexy.

Still more proof can be found on the magazines racks of the world in the plethora of new young men's magazines that are spreading like weeds. This incredible growth started around the same time that Body in Mind did, over 5 years ago, and it shows little sign of dying off any time soon. These mags came into existence because, at the time, grundge ugly was in, and supermodels were being chased off the fashion runways of the world. They found a home in men's mags. But instead of showing more and more skin, as the philosophy of 'sex sells' dictates, these mags featured female models and celebrities - clothed! Of course this only works with women who are so beautiful we don't really care if they're naked or not, but work it does, exceptionally well.

It works so well, because, my friends, beauty sells, and it sells because it - female beauty - is a necessity.

That's right. Human beings need beauty to survive. This is why supermodels who possess superbeauty will always have a place to sell their good looks, regardless of how many times they are chased from one type of media to another. That's why Cіndy Crаwfоrd, Clаυdіа Schіffеr and Chrіsty Tυrlіngtоn are as visible as ever.

Body in Mind has always realized the value of female beauty, and we have always favored it over sexual imagery. When we do find a pornographic image beautiful, it is always its beauty we are attracted to, not its sexual elements. In fact, all of the images and models on Body in Mind are chosen for their beauty and not for their sexuality. It is Beauty we hold supreme. And it looks like others are starting to feel the same way. Today a small but sincere group of webmasters are running websites devoted to these kinds of images - images based on a belief in the supreme importance of female beauty.

And we are finding a world hungry for our vision, hungry for the guilt-free - indeed downright moral - sight of lovely young ladies in the nude. Only the fact that female beauty is generally more valued than sex could allow sites like ours to compete with Playboy and Penthouse. In fact, if you think about it, female beauty is more important than sex or even love right in our very lives. For instance, we can all go for years without sex with someone or without being in love. (The fact that we don't need sex with someone any more or less than we need to be in love is an indication that they are inextricably linked and belong in an exclusive romantic relationship. But that is a separate - if related - issue.) The popularity of sites like Body in Mind prove that we men cannot go nearly as long without the sight of a lovely woman displaying her body as we can without having sex or being in love.

Beauty is simply more vaunted an emotion than desire, so we want it more, that's all. This is not because desire is wrong, not by any means. Sex and love are absolutely necessary for a whole life, but they are not necessary to live day to day, at least for a long while. You see, sex inspires us to go after a woman, but beauty inspires us to go after our life. It's just plain more important.

So then, beauty is not a luxury, or a bauble of vanity, or a rose in one's crown. It is not just window dressing for a brothel, or the curtain to a boudoir, or the teaser to a porn site. Beauty is not an invitation or a reward. It is the main attraction, and the main event. Beauty is not the proof. It is the point.

And it is not just nice, it is necessary.

I love your site. Can't say that enough. Very tastefully done. I've been a huge fan of Alіyаh Lоpеz for several years now and Mike did great work with her. Any chance of getting a few more pictures of her posted with the cowboy hat? I also loved the pictures of Kinga and Summer. Two beautiful women. Again. Thank you.

Very respectfully, Willard

Willard is a Body in Mind member in the U.S. Navy who may be shipping out soon to prepare for potential war in the Mid-east. Our inestimable respect and gratitude go with him.

Mоdеrn Chееsеcаkе

Like a farm orchard bursting with ripe fruit, or the sea swelling and exploding in love with its own freedom, or the sun smiling on everything and everybody, the ladies in the images of Austrian photographer Vіctоr Lіndеnbоrn remind us of the greatest joy of childhood - seeing our first naked woman.

Not since we were kids have we seen such beautiful, bright, happy, sunny, playful, elegant, voluptuous ladies in scenes so carefully set in a universe full of benevolence, feminine poses, thoughtful composition, radiant lighting, natural drama, and 50's movie-star glamour.

Lindenborn, is a master of what is called 'cheesecake' or 'pin-up' photography. I mention this because for some reason, in the modern rush to 'own' the concept of beautiful women in beautiful pictures, many people have forgotten its orginal name, which is cheesecake. And its creators' dueful praises go unsung.

Cheesecake is completely unique, both in purpose and in nature, which may explain why so few people seem to recognize it.

The purpose of cheesecake is to create superlative images of superlative female beauty - not pornography, not fashion, not advertisements - but beauty, period. Not primarily meant to stimulate our bodies or our minds (although it always does both), cheesecake first moves our spirit and stimulates our soul. In its purest form, it gives us a vision of so great a loveliness that we must stare, and upon staring, become sun drunk with all the wondrous emotions - noble and pleasant - that female beauty allows us as human beings.

Only one thing can do this to us. Only those things dearest to us can make us feel so wonderful - only our deepest values can make us feel this way. Somehow, then, in cheesecake, our values must be involved.

To see exactly how, we must look to its origins. Cheesecake photographs have been around a long time and were being made long before Playboy, long before modern supermodels, and certainly long before the web and Body in Mind. It's the kind of image of nude women pioneered in the 40's and 50's by German and Scandinavian photographers in response to demand from American men's girlie, adventure, detective and pulp magazines. In Amеrіcа, perhaps the greatest creator of this type of image was photographer Bυnny Yеаgеr, whose images of Bеttіе Pаgе are a legend, still popular with collectors today. They are images of a pretty woman who is extremely happy to be alive, happy to be a woman, and happy to be naked. They are set in what were for Bettie 'real-life' settings, such as at the beach, or on a boat, or in a field - settings which have unfortunately been copied a hundred thousand times by photographers who could not see that the appealing part of a location was not the specific scene insomuch as it was the fact that Bettie felt at home in it. Thus, what began as realistic shots of Bettie, today have become terribly un-realistic shots of supermodels rolling in the surf on late night TV.

To discover the secret power of cheesecake photography one has merely to look at the images Vіctоr Lіndеnbоrn is creating today, not at what is being depicted, but at the feeling that is generated by that depiction. For example, his models, like Bеttіе Pаgе before them, make us feel that they are happy and carefree, and more: they make us feel that way. Their happy abandon in the nude, revealing no awareness of shame, makes us feel free. And their generous smiles, when pointed right at us, makes us feel worthy of the love of one such as them.

Cheesecake achieves its beauty by capturing our values and projecting them back on us. It creates a scene that is so brilliantly full of our values - things we dearly need to live a life worth living, things like happiness, purpose, freedom, success, sexuality, thoughtfulness, self-esteem and romance - that it shines upon us like an explosion of white light.

This is the key to cheesecake: It is the inclusion of objective values that give cheesecake the power to achieve its purpose, which is quite simply, the creation of beauty. Beauty is the representation of our values, and nothing moves us more.

This is the unique nature of cheesecake, its defining characteristic. It has never been explicitly identified (until now), yet cheesecake photos of legendary beauty have been consistently achieved over the years, due only to the extremely benevolent sense of life, gifted eye, and loyalty to values of its creators.

This is the modern achievement, and the greatness, of Vіctоr Lіndеnbоrn.

Victor's work has brought cheesecake back to life for us. Let them do the same for you. Here then is our latest hand-picked gallery of Victor's best images. Enjoy.
