Krusin'You pull up to a run-down garage in a sleepy town off the main highway. The sun is high in the sky, the heat is dry and unforgiving and your old jalopy is overheating, again. From the look of the old heaps littered around the yard, you doubt you'll find any help here. And then she comes out. A gorgeous blonde, taking a break from the heat with a bottle of soda, lounging against an old roadster in nothing but a bikini and pigtails. She smiles at you, without surprise or shame, and takes a sip from her soda. "Is there a mechanic around?", you ask, almost hoping she'll say no. "You're looking at her", she replies with a wink. Yes, this a pure fantasy. But then, so is Hayley-Marie Coppin. More... |

Under the underwearFlip open the pages of any fashion magazine and you'll see them - shimmering ads for everything from underwear to face cream, gorgeous women engaging you directly, hands on hips, arms over their heads, breasts peeking out from delicate lingerie. Whatever they're selling, the images are compelling, with tantalizing glimpses of skin and the promise of beauty just barely hidden from view. But what if these ads showed what they only hinted at? What if the women in these perfume or couture ads were to slip out of their bras and panties and use the full power of their beauty? Luckily we don't have to imagine it, thanks to Veronica and her luminous beauty. More... Sample | More Veronica | Join | Permalink |

The return of the pin upPin Up art is making a comeback. Once throwaway sketches of 1940's women, drawn to evoke charm and cheeky sensuality for the benefit of homesick soliders, pin up style images are once again dominating artist's imaginations. Pin Up girls always possessed an innocent sort of sexuality, and were often depicted doing the most mudnane things while unaware of their state of undress, or showing amazement at their own nakedness. Their facial expresssions were exaggerated, as were the poses they stretched their bodies into, but instead of the pictures looking seedy or exploitative, they were almost always charming and fun, as though the model were in on the joke. Perhaps the best known Pin Up girl of all time was Bettie Page, a dear favourite of ours who personified free-spirited sexuality and an innocent sense of life, which is why we asked Milena May to channel Bettie for us in this latest series.

Sam Buxton's topHow much would you pay to own the Body Glove top Sam Buxton is wearing in this Body in Mind photo set? Or for that matter, any of the clothes we dress our models in? Body in Mind is about beauty, not sex, and dressing the models we work with is often as much fun as undressing them for stylish nudes. But once we've used certain clothing items a few times with various models, we don't really need them any more, so we recently began selling them on eBay. You can check for any items currently for sale on eBay by doing a title AND topic search on eBay for "Body in Mind". Sam's Body Glove top just sold for $50. Check back on eBay soon to find any new items we're letting go. Or if you see anything our models are wearing that you like, email us anytime and tell us who you'd like to see undressed, and make us an offer. :-) More...

Black heartBlack hearted woman. She's cold and calculating, she takes your love and plays with your soul, never once risking her own heart. The Allman Brothers even named an album after her, so pervasive is the image of a woman viciously adept at toying with men. But what makes a woman earn that title? Is it the sly smile, the unamused tilt of her eyebrow, the callous way she regards her admirers? More likely, a black hearted woman is one who simply isn't affected by the admiration of every man who wants her. She is more selective, more secure in her beauty, more determined to give her love to only the most deserving. She knows her value and knows that only the best of men deserve her genuine affection. Maybe it's the sore loser, the scorned lover, the man who didn't quite measure up, who really has the black heart? More... Sample | More Marsha | Join | Permalink |

Take 5It takes a lot of work to make a great photo. Aside from the technical aspects like lighting and a certain skill behind the lens, there's undeniable work to be done by both photographer and model to get just the right shot. It can be exhausting. When you have a great model like Cat, the shoot is much easier but it's still a lot of work. On this day, we took a break in shooting and told Cat to take five, expecting her to flop onto the couch and whip out her cell phone or ipod. But like the great model she is, Cat started hamming it up for the camera and we couldn't resist. With her wry smile, her cheeky expressions, her flirtatious poses and of course her killer body, we happily spent the next hour shooting her 'break' rather than the set we had envisioned. Sometimes the best photos aren't planned, and sometimes the best models are women just being their own beautiful, adorable selves. More... |

Copper sculptureCopper is our favourite precious metal. Some people go gaga for gold, others have silver dreams. But we prefer the more artful alloys, like brass and bronze, perhaps because they so often come in the shape of a beautiful nude woman. In fact, bronze and brass ARE copper, with some tin or zinc added, respectively. Our ultimate metal muse would be made of copper, but alas, copper doesn't pour so well. Nor does it respond to the hammer and chisel. It's too hard for one and too soft for the other. We like its refusal to cooperate, it's anything but mercurial. No doubt it gave alchemists nothing but grief. Copper says "take me as I am or be done with me". Vanessa is the same way. She's as close as we'll ever come to a copper sculpture. We wouldn't dream of changing her. Nor could we if we tried. More... Sample | More Vanessa | Join | Permalink |

Nikkala Stott's FlareFlare. It's a spark and a burn. It's also something a lens does when you point it straight at the sun. Flair is also a talent sparkling with pizzazz. This set of Nikkala by Paul Buceta has both kinds of it. Nikkala is the best model we have ever found. And Paul's way with glamour photography is unmatched. Together, there is a definite spark, and a long hot burn. Watching Nikkala flirt and hide in a burst of sun flares is entrancing, and Paul captures it all, somehow, without burning his eyes out. We can guarantee your eyes won't fry looking at these photos. But we can't guarantee Nikkala won't burn in them long after you look away. Nikkala flare. More... |

Hayley-Marie Coppin gets wetWater somehow makes a beautiful woman even more so. From wet t-shirt contests to swimsuit photoshoots on a tropical beach, the image of bronzed bare skin with beads of water dripping down it has an awesome power. Droplets of water bring a sensuous glow to the skin they rest on, but there's something more to it. Maybe it's the freshness of it, the splash of something real and invigorating to what could otherwise be an image of untouchable beauty. Maybe it's evocative of sexual desire, or maybe it shows a playful side of the model, willing to pose patiently while the water cools her skin, brings up goosebumps and makes her nipples perk up. Whatever it is, Hayley-Marie knows how to harnesses that power, one drop of water at a time. More... |

The Canadian Snow Bunny - nudeAt Bodyinmind, we've had the privilege of photographing the world. We've shot British Page 3 stars, we've travelled the US and shot with American beauties, and our photographers bring us beautiful women from France, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Australia and everywhere in between. Imagine our delight in finding a gem right under our nose, a gorgeous Canadian named Marsha. In our first shoot with her we took inspiration from the cozy winter days Canada's known for, and decked her out as a delightful snow bunny. Winter blasts may make beautiful women cover themselves up in warm clothes, but we're happy to be able to peel off those woolies and let their beauty shine through. More...

The secret of female beautyScientists have yet again trumpeted that they've found the secret to facial beauty. There's a golden ratio, apparently, or some such nonsense that brings to mind men in lab coats and slide rulers measuring the distance of a woman's eyes down to the micron. We know that there's a lot more to beauty than numbers on a ruler, and that when each of us looks at the face of a truly beautiful woman, we see values looking back at us. In this gallery of Veronica, we see wisdom and innocence together, sensuality and seriousness, fun and forthrightness. When the light dances across her face in the right way, we see the glint of intelligence and confidence and the sparkle of amusement that reminds us all of what we most cherish. And you won't find that on any slide rule. To truly measure beauty is to look into one's own soul - start by looking into Veronica's as she lounges in the last light of a summer's day. More...

Peta Todd - made in the shadeImagine this: you awake on an overcast morning, the sun barely peeking through the clouds. You raise from the bed, groggy, not quite awake, your thoughts starting to assemble as to what your day holds. You pad out to the kitchen for your first coffee of the day - and through the window you catch sight of a beautiful woman. She's your girlfriend or your wife, she's the woman in your life - maybe she's just your next door neighbor, but for a moment she takes your breath away. She's beautiful and serene, you love the way her smile parts the clouds and the way the wind catches a strand of her hair. Whoever she might be to you, at that moment, sex is the farthest thing from your mind. Her beauty has warmed your heart and sparked your mind and you feel glad to be alive. That's the power of beauty, and that's the power of Peta Todd. She is proof that sunlight can be made in the shade. More... Sample | More Peta Todd | Join | Permalink |

Home is where Klaudia isMen love women. No news there. But if only it was that simple. Men adore women, sure, but how does a man get the woman of his dreams to love? Luck surely plays a role, but a smaller role than most expect. Most men who find this special woman to love will agree there was an element of fate to it, like it was meant to be, and perhaps it was. After all, why would the universe make men love women if not for a reason? Surely the universe wants this to be so, and has laid things out in such a way as to make it happen more often than not. This is an idea we remind you of this season: do everything you can to make yourself a real man, and trust that somewhere the universe has created a real woman for you to love. Instead of Santa or mistletoe or a roaring fire, imagine her at your hearth this season. And by next year, it might even be true. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

Sam Buxton - satin dollIn Hollywood of the 30s and 40s, every young actress posed for a similar photo. Lounging against a velvet or silk backdrop, highlighted by a single light source, hair styled in the perfect waves of the time, makeup perfect. These photos were probably commissioned by the movie studios, who took very seriously the notion that their movie stars had to be glamorous, beautiful and elegant. Compared to the hot mess most Hollywood starlets are today, it's easy to be nostalgic for a time when beauty was respected and strived for, when glamor was important and elegance made a woman that much more alluring. We've captured some of that long-ago style in this latest set of Sam Buxton, lounging luxuriously in a nest of satin, our version of the way those 40s glamor shots should have been. More...

A rare peakPeople often ask us what it's like to shoot together. As a married couple, we've worked together over the years, shooting the same subject at the same time, and what results are galleries of photos that look like they were shot by just one photographer, not two. So we thought that in this latest gallery of Milena May, we'd pull back the curtain a bit to reveal our slightly different styles. We've divided this gallery into those shot by Leanne and those shot by Dwayne, the two halves of D & L Bell. Both galleries feature the best, most J.W Waterhouse-like images we made late one summer day. Can you tell the difference in our styles? If not, don't worry, Milena May is gorgeous no matter who snaps the shutter. More... Sample | More Milena May | Join | Permalink |

The Little ShepherdessThere's a little-known painting by Canadian artist Paul Peel called The Little Shepherdess. It was painted nearly 150 years ago, when nude images were considered high art and respected as a legitimate subject to paint. A nude young woman pauses for a moment by a pond surrounded by irises. Peel captured the moment of repose with quiet respect, and The Little Shepherdess remains one of our favourite paintings. You won't see anything like it too often. Today the subject matter is considered inappropriate, both because the girl is young and because it is thought [strangely] to be trite and destructive to depict a simple moment of female beauty. Yet that's exactly what Alexander Lobanov has done in this series of Valentine. It may not be Paul Peel, but the same spirit is there. It is little known and celebrates a lost value: such things are what we call treasures. More... Sample | More Valentine | Join | Permalink |

Man meets natureOne of the reasons a nude woman can be so beautiful is because she is one of the most appealing meeting places between two amazing things: human beings and nature. When nature gave us the power to think volitionally she also robbed us of all of our instincts. Maybe because she used the same chunk of brain for both, who knows. But the result is undeniable: human beings have the power to manipulate nature, even to destroy it, even to destroy themselves. No animal ever had this power, only Man. But when man destroys nature does beauty result? No. Or when he ignores the power of his mind does beauty result? No. It is only together that Man and nature survive, and this is why the greatest beauty is where Man meets nature, where the virtues and value of each is visible: a modern home in a wild forest, a skyscraper by the beach, or a nude woman.

Causal as a catOur model Cat is aptly named. She's a sensuous, sensual creature who loves to stretch her long body in a luxurious arc. She can be playful and even silly, but behind even the cutest of looks there lies grace and poise. And don't forget the feline curve of her arched eyebrow. During one of our photo shoots with her, while we were setting up for something else, she spotted a leopard-print chaise and began to lounge on it. It was too good to pass up - Cat on leopard print, owning it like any cat would. Everything that's good about cats - their self-possessed confidence, their independence, their unabashed love of all things sensual - is what we find endearing about our Cat. We're certain you will too. More... |

The hippie chickThere's something alluring about a hippie chick. Sun-kissed skin and hair, long bare legs, mini-skirt, bare feet, a dance as free as the wind and a smile as happy as a child's. For the past forty years, her image has remained in our aesthetic lexicon, representing freedom from oppression, a letting-go of staid propriety, and to many, the free-love mindset of the sixties. But we think there's something more to it. In many ways, the hippie chick represents pure feminity. Her long, flowing hair, her ambivalence towards clothing, her ease with nudity, and her embrace of nature, which to many is a perfect backdrop for a pretty woman, one of nature's nicest creations. Veronica may be a modern woman but we think there's a little mother earth, a little star child, and a little hippie in all women, including Veronica. And we were right. Groovy. More...

Hayley Marie Coppin: drive-in beautyBobby-soxers. Drive-In movies. Sock hops, hula hoops, sweater girls and Thunderbirds. The Fifties were a unique time in human history, a time of hope and optimism. Girls weren't afraid to be pretty then, it seemed. So when we took Hayley Marie Coppin out to our local Fifties-themed Drive-In for this photoshoot, we knew she'd have a ball camping it up for our cameras. With the help of a friend's custom car, we got as close as we possibly could to what it must have been like back then. But we put our spin on it, of course. We imagined what it would have been like if a typical Fifties girl had been free to slip out of her poodle skirt and kick off those saddle shoes and prance around naked...the Fifties as they should have been. :-) More... |

A moment of whimsyIn the movies, whenever someone imagines an ideal spot or a dreamy place, they usually conjure up an image of a beach, or a windswept seashore, or shifting dunes with long grasses blowing softly in the breeze. There's something magical about those places where the water gradually gives way to land. They're places of romance and whimsy, where laughter floats on the wind like dandelion wisps, and where love comes and goes like waves on the shore. In such a place it's hard not to imagine a vision like Samantha Buxton, making her way through the sand, in a moment of pure whimsy, letting the wind make flutter and fall her little white dress, sharing with us her beauty as the sun, the sea, and the sky share theirs.

Coffee break with Nikkala StottIt's a sleepy morning in southern Nevada. The sun slips through the distant mountains and casts a warm glow on the desert sand. This is the Nevada you don't see from the Vegas Strip - the parched land of desperate beauty. Rocks soar above the reddish clay spotted with dry scraps of scattered plant life. The house itself is a respite from the heat, its pale stucco walls and cool terra cotta tiles providing protection from the blazing sun. One set just finished, Nikkala comes through the door, sipping the last of her morning coffee, her blue eyes cast out over the desert vista, eternity reflected in their depths. We'll never know what she's really thinking - but we can share this quiet moment with her as she enjoys the feel of the sun on her body. She accepts our admiration the way the desert welcomes a cool breeze. We'll continue shooting in a moment...but not quite yet... More... |

Harem girlThe word 'harem' comes from the Arabic for 'forbidden' or 'sacred'. This is a baffling contradiction. Why should something sacred be forbidden? When you look at Cat lounging sensously in the golden light of her harem, you can understand why her exquisite beauty might be considered sacred. She's a rarity in our modern world, a truly beautiful woman unashamed of being beautiful. The gift she gives the viewer is a glimspe of something wonderful and uniquely feminine, and it's easy to see why her admirers might view her beauty as the ultimate of values. But if that's so, why should it be forbidden? Why shouldn't we allow ourselves to enjoy her sacredness? Why should it be closed off, kept behind doors, forbidden? In this series of Cat, we're delighted that she invites us to share her sacred beauty with her. More... |

A pin-up a dayThe beauty of pin-up art is that it takes exceptionally beautiful women, gets them unnaturally and pleasantly nude, and puts them into everyday life, which means into our lives. The situations depicted in classic cheesecake photos are always mundane or topical: a housewife wearing only an apron in the kitchen, a pretty girl fishing in only a straw hat and cut-off jeans, a soaking wet beauty covered only with a tiny towel, or a space-age beauty with a form-fitting space suit on the moon. Art depicts the way the artist wants the world to be - the way it could be and should be. Pin-up is art because it says beautiful scantily clad women could be and should be in our lives, every day, everywhere...including driving our old pick up truck in our latest set of Milena May.

Hayley in Room 518She was beautiful beyond belief and when she smiled, she smiled at you. You saw her across the room the second you entered. There was a glow around her, or a magnetism, or some extraordinary grace that caught your eye, a movement of her arm, or a sweep of her hair, or a curve of her body. Her eyes twinkled an invitation to everyone, yet especially to you. And then she was gone, and your heart sank. Had you waited too long to approach her? Had she left with friends? Had you dreamed the whole thing? She had to be staying in this hotel. But what room? What could you do? How could you find her? What might have been had you had more nerve?

Hey nice... applesYou don't have to be Christian to know the story of Eve and her forbidden apple. In league with the devilish serpent, she supposedly tempted Adam with the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and it all went downhill from there. Nevermind that Adam willingly took a bite, nevermind that "knowledge of good and evil" is something all thinking men and women should be applauded for pursuing - Eve still got the short end of the stick. The temptress, the evil one, the one responsible for man's eviction from the Garden of Eden - it's all nonsense. When we see the happy, simple joy Noelle takes in posing playfully with a basket of fresh apples, we see the wonder of human beings. We see the delight a pretty girl brings, we see the progress the world has made toward allowing a pretty girl to pose nude and share her beauty with us all. And especially in Noelle's case, we see some really nice apples. More... Sample | More Noelle | Join | Permalink |

In her photos she almost never smiles, yet in real life she is always funny and smiley. With a body and smile that would certainly excel on TV she prefers to write and host her own show - on radio. When most glamorous beauties are concerned only with busting out of their bras at the right movie openings, Peta is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to benefit war heroes.

Sam Buxton puts a little bite into bodyinmind.comWhen UK glamour model and page 3 girl Sam Buxton visited Canada recently we knew we had to shoot with her. Sam is part of a unique modeling community that exists only in the UK. There, and nowhere else in the world, beautiful young women pose topless for newspapers and can become celebrities in their own right. Anywhere else in the world such models would be belittled and sneered at, but in the UK such ladies are admired and pinned up on walls alongside actresses and fashion models. We wish such women existed in our country, and in many countries around the world, but until people stop despising their own value and their own sexuality they will not feel entitled to such beauty and freedom. Do you? In this set of Sam, it is simply the freedom to have fun. More... Sample | More Sam Buxton | Join | Permalink |

Water NymphThe ancient Greeks believed in Nymphs, beautiful, beguiling deities who lived in lakes and rivers. These deities took the form of nubile young women who could tempt men with their extraordinary beauty. Playful and capricious, representing the creative force of nature and female sexuality in general, their name unfortunately became associated with hypersexuality - hence the 'nymphomaniac' so popular in the lore of teenage boys. But the true essence of the Nymph was her beauty and how she free she was with it, how sensual and natural and lyrical she was. Greek mothers warned their sons away from the Nymphs' music, their dancing, their playful splashing in the waters in which they bathed. But we believe their sons should have been encouraged to peer through the branches at the lovely sight and enjoy such splendid beauty. And so should you. More...

Nikkala Stott in a pool of dreamsNikkala Stott is one of the most beautiful models in the world. She is perhaps THE most beautiful nude model. Playboy photographer Paul Buceta is one the best photographers in the world. He is perhaps THE best nude photographer. It made perfect sense to us then to put the two of them together in a beautiful setting to see if together they could make magic happen. We were thrilled to see the results. On a quiet end of the day in March, by a cerulean pool somewhere in Las Vegas, Nikkala and Paul made some of the most spectacular nude photos we'd ever seen. Before they ever met it had long been our dream to bring the best talent to work for Body in Mind. And together, for us, and we hope for you, they made this simple location a pool of dreams.

Shy is beautiful tooWhen you see as many lovely nude ladies as we do, it's easy to forget that posing nude is a big step for a model. We're all raised with a certain amount of modesty, and even the most beautiful girls in the world can feel a little trepidation at taking off their clothes for the camera. Maybe they're beginner models who aren't used to posing for the camera, let alone nude. Maybe they're not sure what the photographer wants them to do. And maybe, like most of us, they feel a little self-conscious about seeing themselves on film. So we are eternally grateful for women like Valentine who overcome whatever shyness they might feel and decide to share their unadorned beauty with us anyway. Valentine and women like her probably don't know how profound a gift they're giving the world with the simple act of slipping out of their clothes - but we do. And we're not shy about saying so.

Aila's old jeansWhat is about a pair of old jeans that makes a beautiful woman that much more alluring? It can't just be because the jeans hug her rear end so perfectly, or accentuate her jutting hipbones, although these things certainly can be beautiful. When we were styling this photo shoot with the lovely Aila in Chicago recently, we could have made a hundred different choices - we could have put her in bikini bottoms to show off her curves, we could have shot the whole thing fully nude to call attention to her beautiful skin and gorgeous shape. But when she tugged on a pair of her favorite old jeans, we knew we had found the perfect look. A pair of faded jeans, well loved and well worn in, reminds us that a woman can be comfortable in her beauty in an every day way, removed from the hot lights and equipment of a photo studio. We're reminded that even though the photographer goes to great lengths to create the perfect look, the perfect makeup, the perfect hair, that at the end of the day it's the model's everyday beauty, her walking-around charm, that enchants us the most.

White HotHow do we know which models to shoot? We place a casting call notice and receive countless applications, many from women who have a nice face or long legs or gorgeous breasts but who, for some reason, don't make the cut. And we've been asked what it is that makes us say "Yes - we've got to shoot her for Body in Mind!" The answer is simpler than most people think. Beauty. We know if a woman is beautiful or if she's just pretty, if her body is spectacular or just average, if she has a sparkle or hides her light under a shade. We know by the way her back curves out gently, by the way her hair cascades down her back, by the fullness of her breasts and the line of her thighs. We know by the genuineness of her smile, by the glint in her eye. We know by her beauty. And since we love and admire beauty so very much, we accept nothing less from models we shoot. Lexi is just such a beauty - nude, against stark white, with nothing to hide behind or nothing to improve upon, she is the perfect example of how we know she's the kind of model we love to shoot. Wouldn't you? More... |

Cute as a kittenSex kitten. Where did that term come from? Is there anything less sexual than a furry little bundle of fluff, meowing and purring and swatting at toy mice? Somewhere along the line, the idea of a sexy, almost lascivious woman became connected with kittens and the image stuck. Well, we at Body in Mind love to tear down stereotypes, especially ones aimed at debasing beautiful women or reducing them to nothing more than one-dimensional sexual objects. So in this photo series of Yasmine, we decided to mix two things you almost never see together - wholesomeness and nudity. Kittens and a beautiful nude woman. We don't want to just dismantle the stereotype of the 'sex kitten', we want to take it a step further. We want to show that's it's possible for something sweet and wholesome and good to mix easily with a beautiful woman, that it doesn't have to be either/or. We want our viewers to forget about the sexual innuendo and focus instead on how charming and delightfully heartwarming beauty can be. More... Sample | More Yasmine | Join | Permalink |

Hayley is passionate about nude modeling, and she inspires those who work with her. We had our second exciting chance to work with Hayley during her recent visit to Canada. As you will see in the many monthly sets to come both on BiM and Hayley's own site, Hayley spent 90% of her 3 days with us completely and enthusiastically naked. Passionate she was. As we were to photograph her. And as you will be when you see her nude. Hayley's visit to Canada was a great success. More... |

Study proves it: men like looking at breasts!October 7, 2009 - We've known it all along, but now a research study in New Zealand has proven it: men like looking at women's breasts. No matter the size, 47% of men in the study looked a woman's breasts before they looked at her face, and spent longer looking at her breasts than any other part. Their conclusion? "Men may be looking more often at the breasts because they are simply aesthetically pleasing, regardless of the size." | ||

Nikkala Stott - made in the shadesLooking at Nikkala that day, as she lounged against the rugged rocks of Las Vegas' Red Rock Canyon, it was hard to remember that she is, in fact, a native of England. If ever there was a body meant for the steamy heat of the desert, it's Nikkala's. From her gorgeous tanned skin to her taut lines and athletic build, she exudes a sleek and sun-loving elegance. Even the way the sun glinted off her hair made us marvel at how she seemed to belong here, casually perched amongst the sandy clay and windswept rocks. The deep, clear blue of the sky served as a perfect backdrop to our desertscape, and so bright was the day that we thought it only fair to shield Nikkala's eyes behind some shades. She was a desert goddess if there ever was one. We know Nikkala's heart belongs to England, but our hearts belong to her. More... |

Vanessa whenWe work with a lot of very beautiful women at Body in Mind. But very occasionally a model will walk through the door who is as lovely as a cool breeze on a scorching summer day, and as hot as the sun. Everyone smiles when they meet her. Everyone's day is suddenly a good one, they feel happier, younger, smarter. The beauty of a few women in the world has the power to change it. These are women who are gorgeous no doubt, but who also posses a rare wit and intelligence. Audrey Hepburn was such a woman. And Tyra Banks is another. Vanessa, who breezed through a 4-hour test shoot never losing her smile, her candor or her exuberance, even when completely nude, is such a lady as well. She is young and just starting her career, but we have no doubt this girl is going places. We just know that one day in the not too distant future, we will get to say, we knew her when... More...

Nikkala's biggest fanI'm DBell, creator, editor, and contributing photographer of bodyinmind.com. I'm also Nikkala Stott's biggest fan. A few years ago I enjoyed watching Nikkala star in a video I created called Amazon, and this year again I worked even closer with her on our latest video a Little Hitch and discovered her acting talents. I've admired Nikkala since she first appeared on the modeling scene some years ago posing topless on the Sun's Page 3. She was so much more beautiful than any of the other models - or even any of the world's non-nude models - that her appearance was like a sun coming over the horizon for me. And working with this amazing beauty was literally a dream come true. Nikkala's superbeauty has won her hordes of faithful and enthusiastic fans from all over the world, but none more so than me. No model has inspired me more. More... |

Sitting prettyWhen Lexi walked into our Chicago studio that day, she had the easy grace of a confident young woman. She seemed nice, but what we all wondered was: is she a good model? Would she know how to pose our way, without sexual innuendo or seediness? As photographers, we couldn't know until she took her seat on set. So the lights were set up, the stylist helped apply her makeup and fix her hair, and in the background a Beatles playlist accompanied the busywork that goes into prepping a set. Throughout it all Lexi was quiet but attentive, waiting patiently for her cue. Then, a radiant smile, a toss of gorgeous blonde hair, a piercing gaze from placid blue eyes. Pose after pose, Lexi hit it everytime. It's a rare pleasure to shoot a woman who knows how to work her beauty, and we couldn't take enough photos of her. We were sorry when the shoot was over. Enjoy this set of Lexi sitting pretty, and we're pretty sure you'll be too. More... |

Peta DesertedAlmost every day, a news alert enters our email inbox with our chosen search terms "Peta Todd" highlighted. Often there's some silly story about her personal life, more rarely a story about her exceptional humanitarian work for war heroes. But what amazes us is how easily the media can lose sight of this simple truth - Peta Todd is one of the world's most beautiful women. When she posed for our cameraman Paul Buceta recently in Las Vegas, we got to see first hand what a true classic beauty she is. Out on an isolated desert plain, with nothing but a crackled dry lake bed beneath her feet and soaring mountains in the distance to frame her, she showed us what true beauty really is. How many women could mesmerize in black and white, just standing there looking into the camera lens like she's staring into your soul? How many women could create such iconic, timeless images with no props or costumes or backdrops to help them out? In this series, Peta is more beautiful than perhaps she's ever been, and we want to make sure everyone knows it. More... Sample | More Peta Todd | Join | Permalink |

Why don't the most beautiful women pose nude?Why don't more beautiful women like Klaudia pose nude? Nude models are usually quite attractive but few are truly gorgeous the way Klaudia is. Klaudia is as beautiful as any actress or top fashion model. She could marry any rich guy she wanted to. Most women with her kind of looks do just that; usually they do not pose nude. One of the main reasons for this is that nude models are looked down upon by society as stupid and immoral, and most beautiful women would rather make minimum wage as waitresses or secretaries than suffer the stigma that goes with posing nude. This a tragic waste of beauty. Supermodels (and super women) like Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, and Claudia Schiffer often posed nude, proving nude models are neither stupid nor immoral. But until we all learn this, nude models as beautiful as Klaudia will be all too rare. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

The end of a movement?Female beauty is wholly, perfectly, glowingly good. It is not bad or depraved in any way, shape, form, or degree. There is nothing more important than female beauty. And there is nothing better in the entire world. Therefore a beautiful woman can be nude without her having to be seen as dirty. About 10 years ago, this idea was a revelation, and it caused an explosion of hundreds of tasteful nude and soft-core websites each promising to distinguish itself in exalting female beauty. The depraved and the dismal were left to the porn industry and "fine art" photography. Glamour, happiness, as well as women's bodies were set free. But today, perhaps driven to poor judgment by the economic crisis, many of these same sites have taken to uninspired imitation of the porn industry, releasing titles like "Bad Girl", "Naughty but Nice", and "Sinner". We hope this is merely a blip, but we fear the end of the movement is near. If it is over, we promise that Body in Mind will be your refuge in the coming years. We will never stop exhausting our creativity to lift female beauty ever higher. More... Sample | More Milena May | Join | Permalink |

A little hitchA beautiful woman hitch-hiking naked. It's a popular subject for nude photography. But you will never see it in real life. Sad, but true. And we understand women's reasons for this. Quite right. But at Body in Mind we are all about letting our imaginations work overtime when it comes to female beauty and it seems to make a lot of sense to us to make photos and videos of precisely the kinds of situations involving beautiful women that you might otherwise never see - a world in which men are on their best behaviour and women are perfectly free to use their beauty as they see fit. What would such a world look like? Well if you're Nikkala Stott and you're stranded in the desert it would look exactly like our latest "beauty video" by DBell called "a Little Hitch". More... |

Judges want female attorneys to stop dressing sexyJuly 9, 2009 - When a female federal judge recently brought up the issue of needing a dress code in court, she was referring to an attorney who had shown up in sweat pants. But it didn't take long for her male counterparts to chime in with their take on the issue: female attorneys in 'skimpy clothes'. Female attorneys need to take the moral high ground away from the male judges if they are going to come out ahead in this debate. The question, they should insist, is not "Do female attorneys dress too sexy?" but "Are male judges able to control their sexual urges in court?" | ||

Can female beauty end wars?Imagine a woman so beautiful that she could stop a war with her beauty alone. Lysistrata was such a woman. In fifth century Greece she ended the Peloponnesian War between the Athenians and the Spartans by leading a 'sex strike' among the women of Athens. She believed that ultimately men would rather make love than war and that women could bring an end to war by simply denying men sex. Aristophanes wrote about Lysistrata in his comedy that bears her name. Unfortunately, such a concept has never been taken seriously. Phryne was another greek woman of legend who, when charged with prostitution, used the beauty of her naked body as her case in court, and won. What these women are trying to tell us is that female beauty is there to show us the right way to be. If we were to listen, maybe it would end all wars and all sexual crimes. Maybe that's something we should be taking seriously. More... Sample | More Sonya | Join | Permalink |

Objective beautyMany people don't believe in objective beauty because they don't believe in objective values. An idea is objective when it can be logically traced to reality. For example, our numbering system 1-10 is objective because it is possible in reality to have 1 apple, or 2 apples, or 3 apples etc. Therefore female beauty can also be objective when the things it refers to are real. For example, if a woman is beautiful because she looks or acts brave, her beauty is objective because bravery is an objective value - one that in reality is necessary for an individual human being to survive. Without it in some degree none of us could face a single day. The same is true of health, purpose, happiness, sex, love, wealth, success, etc etc. Women are only beautiful when they represent values, and if the values are objective, then their beauty is too.

The beauty curtainAn old game show called Let's Make a Deal used to offer contestants a choice between a small sum of money or whatever was hidden behind a huge curtain on stage - it could be a car, or it could be nothing. Some contestants would play it safe and take the money; others would choose the prize behind the curtain. Defining female beauty is like that. Some people are happy to leave it a mystery and enjoy its small rewards: something pretty to look at and a sort of raw but directionless inspiration. However, those who define female beauty as the representation of values win something more exciting than anyone ever imagined: the knowledge of what values are real and objective. This makes dedicated purpose and ultimate happiness possible. And that's worth more than anything we can imagine. More... Sample | More Veronica | Join | Permalink |

Raw beautyEveryone complains about how 'unreal' modern photos of glamorous women are. With the airbrushing, the plastic surgery, and the digital manipulations possible in PhotoShop there's nothing real left they whine. And with the fantasy lifestyles and impossible amount of responsibility (motherhood, career, marriage, charity work) women are depicted enjoying in ads and on television, there's no woman alive who could manage it they insist. But such people do not count on the likes of our Nikkala. This set was shot in harsh, unflattering light first thing in the morning, between yawns. Her hair is not done, her face is naked, her eyes are still sleepy. Yet she is as ravishing as any woman has ever been. Maybe it's because she's not a mother or a wife yet, but we have a feeling that whoever lucks into her as a mother or a bride, will get daily eyefulls of the same gorgeous creature we see here, Nikkala Stott in all her raw stunning beauty.

Nude women make nature beautifulSpring can be a bleak thing. Especially right after a hard winter. Everything is brown and seems dead. But Leanne and I could see beauty in it, waiting to be brought to life the way the trees and flowers do at the first rain. All this dark and dreary forest really needed to come to life was a beautiful woman, and a splash of colour. Milena May was the perfect model for the job, fresh as the first buds and sweet as the smallest flowers. All it took to connect her soft ethereal beauty to the cold hard earth was a splash of violent turquoise. We love the seasons, each brings its own unique beauty to the earth and new chances to capture it in photos. But without beautiful women there is nothing to magnify or focus this beauty. Every photo of a nude lady in nature does this, and in fact, the beauty of women is the real source of all of nature's beauty. The earth can create interesting patterns or pleasing colours, but only a beautiful woman can give it meaning, and this is the source of all its beauty. More...

How do we get beautiful women nude?How do we do it? How does Body in Mind get the most beautiful women in the world to pose nude - women who won't pose for any other nude website - women like the amazing Peta Todd? Simple. Respect. Body in Mind respects women and their power over their own bodies. Our goal is to feature the most beautiful women in the world being... well, beautiful. And this doesn't mean close-ups of anonymous body parts or faked lesbian scenes with other models. It means we don't take cheap shots and we do everything we can to make them feel beautiful, including flying them to exotic places like this set shot in Las Vegas. Body in Mind takes photography and settings very seriously. But we take nothing more seriously than our relationship with our models. There is nothing more important than that, because there is nothing more important than beautiful women. More... Sample | More Peta Todd | Join | Permalink |

How interesting is female beauty?We think the love we men have for beautiful naked ladies in silly getups like cowboy clothes, indian headresses, police uniforms, etc is that we like to put interesting things into a picture next to a nude woman simply because it's so nice to see these things pale in comparison to the female form. We put them in to distract ourselves from the lady's wonderful body precisely because it's nice to see them fail so miserably. There are not many things more interesting than a beautiful nude woman, and somehow, by trying to find something that is, and sometimes trying very hard, it serves to remind us just how exceptionally interesting female beauty really is. And by being so interesting, we start to see that a lady posing nude is just as important to a human civilization as men who work hard, as men who enrich the human spirit, and as men who keep us safe. That enriches our experience of her beauty, and that enriches ourselves and our world. More... Sample | More Britney | Join | Permalink |

The so-called mystery of female beautyMany people prefer female beauty to always be hidden. Some want nudity outlawed, while others claim it can never - or should never - be explained. But at Body in Mind, just as we want to see beautiful women nude, female beauty tantalizes us to want to see past its shroud of mystery. So our goal, besides creating the most beautiful images of women possible, is to understand and explain female beauty. So we did. Simply put, female beauty is the representation of your values; whatever you like, you find beautiful. It follows then that the more values you hold, the more beauty you can see and enjoy. In this way, female beauty can actually inspire morality. When you discover this for yourself, when beauty lies as naked and as bare to you as your first love once did, when you see what natural and wholesome loveliness lies beneath her meaningless modern clothing, she does not shrivel up and die, just as your beloved did not. Instead she takes on a new, nakedly beautiful glow, and you can't help wondering why anyone would want to cover her up in the first place. More... Sample | More Deirdre | Join | Permalink |

Stupid babes and ugly angelsThe most tragic thing to happen to women is well-meaning men who declare beauty to be simply 'abstract' or 'what's on the inside'. Such men forget that the beautiful in spirit can only be invoked by a beautiful body, that there is no other way to experience it visually. Only if a woman is leaping physically into the air can we perceive the joy or freedom that is welling up inside her. Some men deny the value of the spirit and vaunt the pursuit of physical perfection, but their equally destructive brothers deny the value of the physical in favor of the 'virtuous'. Together they create two imposter ideals, neither of which has any beauty at all and neither which can work in the real world: the mindless babe and the ugly angel. Their trap is set: any woman who pursues one or the other will fail, and will suffer misery even death. A body without a spirit is a corpse. A spirit without a body is a ghost. Without physical women to posses it, it is impossible to perceive or even imagine female beauty. Therefore, the more physical perfection a woman possesses the more beauty she will be capable of exuding to others. This physical perfection includes not only a nice face and a curvy figure, but also the pursuit of character, of freedom, of a career, of happiness - all must be pursued in the real physical world. The pursuit of virtue is always both spiritual and physical. And so is the pursuit of beauty. Those who deny it are the ones making women's beauty, happiness and lives impossible. More...

Brave is beautifulIn our webpage about the most beautiful woman in the world - whoever she is - we listed the qualities she would have to have to qualify. Among those qualities is bravery. Bravery is confidence in one's ability to pursue one's values in the face of adversity or hardship. It is popular these days to declare bravery to be a myth, that everyone is brave each to his own degree. But the truth is we admire bravery precisely because it is NOT something everyone achieves. In fact, many people don't even have the kind of values that require bravery, those that are difficult to attain, things like our chosen career instead of a 'job', or true love instead of 'a partner'. We find bravery beautiful because beauty is the representation of our values and we all desire things like true love, the perfect career, etc. Bravery, like real art, inspires us. And like all inspiring things, we find it - and those who possess it - beautiful. More... Sample | More Peta Todd | Join | Permalink |

A happy girl is a beautiful girlThere's nothing more beautiful than a pretty girl who enjoys being a pretty girl. Hayley-Marie Coppin comes immediately to mind. Hayley is a page 3 girl and glamour model who has a body with perhaps more curves per square inch than any woman we've ever seen. But what makes her especially charming and us especially proud to feature her on Body in Mind is that being beautiful - and in particular being beautiful and nude - makes Hayley very happy. And why not? Who wouldn't want to be born a gorgeous woman and be able to enjoy all the advantages that go with it. Well judging from the fake and posed smiles we see in most of the nude and glamour images we see, many women either don't want to be beautiful, or don't enjoy it. This kind of attitude baffles us, and it's a turn off for most admiring men. Most of us want to know joy and exhilaration and possible in life, and a beautiful woman experiencing and enjoying these things makes us feel great. Thanks Hayley, for enjoying your beauty almost as much as we do. You're a true inspiration. More... |

The most intense beauty you will ever experienceBody in Mind is famous for featuring nothing but the most tasteful female nude photos in the world. While other websites all promise tasteful photos, over time they all inevitably resort to more and more sexually explicit content, perhaps in a bid to appeal to the lowest in people. But we don't think that way. We're about using female beauty to inspire greatness in people. And we still have the same quality oriented staff that we started with more than 10 years ago. During that time we've tried to attract some amazing photographers to work with us, but it seems most prefer to work for porn sites. Maybe it's a money thing. But finally we can say we've done it. Once again we've done something that no one else has managed to do - we've created videos that focus on the beauty of the model, not on what's between her legs.

Britney's and BiM's first HD videoIt's with great pride and delight that we announce the arrival on Body in Mind of full high definition videos. The first features one of the best models we have, a very pretty girl and an amazing poser, Britney. Fans of her photos already know how beautiful she can be. But since motion is one of the elements of beauty, and because Britney moves so nicely, her videos take female beauty to a new level of intensity, renewing it as a source of inspiration and fantasy. For years we have featured only photos on Body in Mind because we couldn't find anyone making videos with the same kind of non-sexual beauty. But we now have several videos that satisfy our demanding standards and we're sure they'll meet yours as well. Let us know if Britney moves you. Enjoy. More...

It starts with one flowerIn the older version of the Whole Earth Catalog writer Ann Herbert had a little blurb on each page. The one I remember said something like "Create meaningless beauty and commit random acts of kindness." While we despise the idea that beauty is - or could ever be - pointless, and equally despise the injustice of helping those who don't deserve it at the expense of those who do, we also believe that the spirit of this advice is well meant, that it is singing the praises of a benevolent view towards our fellow man, and that it recognizes the value of things like this. It's perhaps the single best reason we've ever seen to love the humans. And it makes us remember another thing we think Ann Herbert said, "Sing out so those around you might hear your song and take heart". A garden starts with one flower; a song with one bird. Body in Mind says simply, "Think beautiful." There's nothing meaningless about it, because beauty is the greatest kindness of all. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

The moral high groundThose interested in defending female beauty and beautiful women in the modern world have to learn to do one thing: take the moral high ground. For example if you overhear people badmouthing a beautiful model simply because they hate her for being so beautiful, or if you are an artist who creates images of beautiful women who is banned from an art show, or if you are a website creator who wants to celebrate women's bodies, or if you are a beautiful woman who is going to be stoned because the people around you hate any woman who uses her beauty, then you need to know that the winner of any political, moral, or personal argument is the one who takes the moral high ground and never gives it up. Arguments like "it shouldn't be against the law", or "it's good dirty fun" will always lose, precisely because they assume a defensive position and grant the moral high ground to the enemy. Instead, turn the tables on them and insist that they explain why female beauty is supposedly so bad. They will be unable to do so, because female beauty is good. But since laws are passed based on what is considered moral, unless you take the righteous position, those claiming that female beauty is immoral will win any and all political debates. More...

The last day of summerOne of the saddest - and most beautiful - days of the year is the last day of summer. And it's especially so when you run an art nude site like Body in Mind. That's because most of the models we are lucky enough to have pose for us are young ladies from Russia and the Ukraine, and each winter, most of them find a man to love them, marry them, and have babies with them. So, by the time spring comes our photographers are always telling us which girls are no longer modeling. For example, Samantha, one of the most naturally stunning girls we've ever worked with is from Latvia, and our shooter there, Arkady Gluhih, gave us some of the best photos and video ever taken of her. In fact, this video is the last thing they shot together for us. And it happened to be the last day of summer. Sadly, we have no idea where Samantha is now, if she's married or still modeling somewhere. All we know is there is nothing sadder than a woman just before she puts her clothes back on, unless it's a model posing nude for the last time. Happily, their beauty will always haunt the windy beaches of the world. And girls like Samantha will always be posing that one last time, here on Body in Mind. More...

The real Nikkala StottNikkala Stott, our pick for perhaps the best model in the world, has worked with us for almost 5 years, but who is she really? What is she really like? We invited her to Las Vegas for a week in March to find out. We worked with her for over 3 days, went out on the town, and relaxed with her by the pool after long days of shooting. And what did we discover? We learned that she is a woman who loves being nude as much as she loves wearing nice clothes, she likes feeling pretty as much as she likes going really fast in hot cars, she eats cheesecake and pizza but doesn't have to do anything special to keep her incredible figure, she looks as good without make-up as she does with it. She even looks good dressed as a cavewoman! So, who is the real Nikkala Stott? Stay tuned to Body in Mind to find out, as we release several new photo sets and videos of this truly beautiful lady.

Peta Todd is a true titanIn the year and a half since Peta Todd last graced the pages of Body in Mind she has done a lot. She's cycled 350 miles in 7 days, she's jumped out of an airplane, she's wing walked on a WW1 biplane - all for her favourite cause, Help for Heroes - she's gone to Afghanistan to support the troops, and she even hosts a radio show. Soon she will tackle the Sahara Desert and perhaps even climb Kilimanjaro! "I'm very competitive!" Peta admits, never shying away from a challenge, no matter how big or how small. She convinced us of the truth in this on our latest trip to Las Vegas. At the wrap party we watched her eat more cheesecake than anyone else dared. And at the video shoot for 2009 A.D., Peta easily scaled huge boulders in a couple seconds while trained rock climbers were still fumbling with their equipment. We have no doubt Peta can do anything she sets her mind to. She is a true titan, and we look forward to her shaking the world into something better than it is now. If anyone can do it, Peta can.

Bullied to death: a young girl dies for being beautifulMarch 24, 2009 - When Jessica Logan, a bubbly, compassionate and carefree high schooler, sent a nude photo of herself to her new boyfriend's cell phone, she thought she was doing what so many other typical 18-year-olds do: being flirty and fun with someone she loved. She couldn't have known that the fallout from that one innocent act would lead to her death. Her boyfriend callously forwarded the nude photo of Jessica to four other girls, who circulated it and began a torrent of abuse that eventually drove her to suicide. Jessica would get scores of text messages, MySpace, and Facebook entries from people she didn't know calling her "Porn Queen. Slut. Whore." "She just totally changed" her close friend said. "I remember her constantly calling my phone crying." Jessie Logan hung herself on July 3, 2008. Jessie's parents are pushing for more involvement from schools and local authorities to curb what they consider a form of "bullying". But this is more than bullying. It's murder. It's an example of how eager even the young are nowadays to pounce on a beautiful girl. It's the same motive of mobs who, in the past, have thrown women into volcanos or today stone rape victims to death. Once again, the mass media have missed the real story. And that story is: a girl has been killed for daring to celebrate being beautiful, and that those who mocked her for it, are her killers. In fact, we're not sure what's worse, Jessica's death or the mass media evading and perpetuating the cause, as it has for decades, since the death of Marilyn Monroe, and more recently in the death of Anna Nicole Smith. We at Body in Mind are not so naive and frail as these women, nor are we self-blinded like the general media. We know female beauty is a GOOD thing. And we believe women displaying their beauty deserve admiration, and respect. For the sake of girls like Jessica, and for women like Anna Nicole Smith and Marilyn Monroe, remember, badmouthing beauty kills. | ||

Nudity in the Old WestThere wasn't enough nudity in the American Old West. I know because whenever I let my imagination go back to that time I inevitably start inventing ways the ladies could show more skin. (For proof of my predilection, click here.) So when we shot Page 3 girl and glamour model Hayley-Marie Coppin in the Las Vegas desert, of course we did a cowgirl theme that got her quite naked. The only thing we didn't have for her to pose with was a gun belt and six-shooter, which would have been appropriate, since a woman is never better dressed than when she's carrying a Colt 45. Clothing keeps men from touching a woman's body, and nothing's better at that than fear of being shot dead. Even jeans and a t-shirt keeps men's hands off because they send the message loud and clear that the woman wearing them is NOT on display for their tactile amusement. Big ballroom hoop skirts do the same thing, and the woman wearing them can even go topless without losing the effect. We like the irony of a woman being "clothed" by something other than clothes, because it allows her to show off the beauty of her body while remaining protected from the unwanted advances of silly men.

New Dora the Explorer causes outrageMarch 19, 2009 - If you have a little girl under the age of 7 or so, you probably know who Dora the Explorer is. She's a mop-top cartoon character who spends every tv episode on an exploring trip to find something or help somebody. She engages kids in finding new ways of getting to the places she has to go, and also teaches the kids Spanish. We doubt there could ever be a clearer example of the people who claim female nudity and sexuality hurt children extending their wrath to include pure, non-sexual female beauty. We don't think a scientific experiment could ever be devised to prove more conclusively that the thing these parents hate about the new Dora is the fact that unlike the old one, she is a beautiful little girl. Quite terrifyingly, these parents are the spiritual, non-violent blood-brothers and sisters of serial killers and pedophiles - all are compelled to attack innocent female beauty. |

Burqa or boobs?They're called 'women of the scarf' and in less respectful circles 'bag ladies'. But do women who choose to cover their beauty for religious reasons deserve our reverence? Body in Mind believes that anyone who tries to keep beauty - or anything good - from this world is a person who hates this world. Values like beauty, food, and truth are necessary for human life. That's why nature gives us such stong drives to achieve them. So we have to ask: is it really possible to be against these things in an innocent way? Now don't get us wrong. ALL women have the right to dress as they like, including women of the scarf. They have the right to register their protest against beauty, just as people should always have the right to peacefully protest what they don't like. Political freedom is - and always should be - a given. But morally, we too are entitled to disapprove of what we don't like, we're entitled to protest against those who disapprove of beauty, because beauty is a GOOD thing. Nature created it to attract us to our values, to the things we need to survive and be happy, such as health, confidence, love, and purpose. If you want to live then you'll be attracted to people who exude these things. Your brain is wired to perceive your values as beauty. However, if you don't find these qualities beautiful, then I hate to break it to you, but you don't really want to live very badly? You don't value life. This is sadly the case when it comes to women of the scarf. By registering their protest against beauty, they are registering a protest against life. This is why these women make so many people uncomfortable, even if most people don't quite understand why. More... Sample | More Kyla Cole | Join | Permalink |

Baby seal hunt scheduled to begin in a few days - protest now!I wrote to my government representative today to protest the annual Canadian seal "hunt" in which hundreds of thousands of baby seals are bludgeoned to death for their skins. The response I got used words like 'safely harvest this natural resource' and 'experts say it's not cruel' etc. I was actually shocked by the callously blase language, but it shows how out-of-touch the Canadian government is with its people. Canadians overwhelmingly supported a ban on the hunt in 1987, yet since then the government has quietly funded the "hunt" back into existence, apparently simply to employ losers who are otherwise unemployable. A truly progressive ecological position is to preserve as much of the wild as we can, in the hopes that maybe one day we will understand it just a little bit better, and benefit greatly from that understanding. There is no way to slaughter hundreds of thousands of baby animals every year and to know what kind of disasterous effects it will have. Those who think they can are repsonsible for our planet now laying in ecological ruins. Even a child could see that leaving the seals alone to multiply would help save Polar bears from extinction, and that killing baby seals is cruel no matter how it's done. Unfortunately, the slaughter will begin again in a few days unless you take a few moments to register your protest, here . |

If it's just nudity you want...BiM member MaxAppreciation says: "Why does she wear clothes? The photos are so dark you can't see anything anyhow. Beauty like Klaudia's should be seen, not hidden." BiM editor DBell responds: "Body in Mind is about beauty, clothes, no clothes, whatever. It's not just about nudity and certainly not about gynecology. If you're looking for a woman's private parts lit by a 1000 watt light bulb that's not beauty. That's a medical text book. Beauty is a close-up of Klaudia smiling or a full-body shot of her showing off her amazing form or playing happily with her breasts under her shirt. That's beauty, because it shows us what anatomy cannot: the inner Klaudia. Guys who are only interested in full nudity are simple-minded materialists, unable to perceive the spiritual elements in female beauty. They are no better than the guys who prefer porn and fake boobs, so please don't act superior and disappointed. If it's just nudity you want, and not beauty, please look elsewhere. More...

Beauty soothes the savage beastThey say 90% of all convicted sex offenders are known users of pornography. But what this simple statistic does not take into account is that 90% of ALL MEN use pornography, and since 90% of men do NOT commit acts of violence against women, then according to this kind of thinking, pornography must actually cause fondness of women! Actually, we believe this is true. Take, for example, this set of photos of Ingrid. She is one of the most beautiful models we've seen in a long time. How could anyone even dream of hurting her? Her incredible beauty would stop them. When it comes to pornography and violence against women, we should remember a bit of ancient wisdom, which contradicts the modern theory: Beauty soothes the savage beast. More...

Selling morality - The SUN Help the Heroes CalendarFemale beauty has been used to sell everything from dish soap to escort services precisely because it was created to sell, by mother nature herself. We humans need to acquire values, and not only concrete values like food and shelter needed to survive, but also non-material values needed to give life meaning, like character, purpose, and love. The problem is, our brains don't work automatically so identifying, pursuing and keeping values takes a huge effort, so huge in fact that unless death is knocking at our door, it's always easier to avoid the thought necessary to be moral, and most of us do. So mother nature made it so that whenever we see our values in the world or people around us, we experience beauty. In this way, beauty - especially female beauty - draws us almost irresistably towards values, be they soap, love, or even morality itself. We rarely if ever see female beauty being used to sell morality to people, but that's exactly what Body in Mind models Nikkala Stott and Peta Todd as well as a bevy of other Page 3 beauties are doing with their Help the Heroes Calendar. Finally female beauty is being used to sell morality, and Mother nature is smiling. And you will be too when you buy yours. Check it out here. More... |

Sex and sweetnessHugh Hefner will tell you that Playboy's success is due to "the-girl-next-door" image they've created, but he is only partly right. The rest of the story is the explanation for WHY the girl-next-door is so attractive to men, and why nude supermodels are even more appealing. The reason is that both supermodels and the girl-next-door represent to men women who are sexy AND wholesome, and it is this mixture of sex and morality that appeals to men most of all. And you'll find it in every single gallery on Body in Mind, including this lovely set of sweet and sexy Britney. More... Sample | More Britney | Join | Permalink |

Naked nipplesWhy, when the women of our day are showing more of their breasts than ever before, must men see actual exposed nipple in order to be completely happy? They can see the whole of a woman's breasts, save the nipples, and still they want to see more. Here's why: a woman's breasts have no natural boundaries (they sort of curve gradually out from a woman's chest), men need a visual clue to tell them when a breast is actually naked. A naked nipple serves this function. A naked breast means a naked woman, and a naked woman means a woman willing to show her body, and a woman willing to display her body means a woman who is confident, sweet, generous and proud. So you see, in the end, men want to see a woman completely naked not because they are perverts but because it is a woman's character that turns them on, as much as her body. And naked nipples serve to reveal this character. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

Doom and gloomEvery religion has its story about the end of the world, each describing man's depravity, his abandonment of values and the resulting self-destruction of human civilization on an apocolyptic scale. What they don't say is that female beauty can save us. Female beauty is the natural representation of human values, and moral men are naturally attracted to it. Over millienia this sexual selectivity created Pamela Anderson from a cavewoman. Without female beauty mankind will lose its way. 'Pursue values or perish' is nature's commandment to mankind. But the religions of the world tell us to do the opposite - to sacrifice values. To save the world? No. They simply tell us to sacrifice until the world inevitably ends. So who are you going to believe about the kind of values required for human survival? Nature and beautiful women? Or an ancient book written by someone who can't wait for the world to end? More...

Looking upWe hear a lot of people telling us to look down these days, to notice the less fortunate, to serve others, to give back, to be kind to the earth, to do it for the children, etc etc. The people telling us this are the kind of humanitarians who claim to be moved by human suffering but are never upset by stories of people who have suffered purely personal loss. Rather, they smile wryly, knowingly, like recruiters for some perverse army who know perfectly well that misfortune is their best recruiter. Neither are they moved by stories of those who have sacrificed their dreams to help others. They listen to such stories with resentment. Such people are better recruiters than they are. Body in Mind is different. This New Year we say look up, see the horizon full of possibilities, set your aim high and choose lofty goals for your own personal fulfilment. See yourself not in the bitter gratitude of those willing to accept your sacrifice and suffering, but in the history books. Do something great. Do it for yourself, and don't let any humanitarian or his hordes stop you. Look up, without reservation, and those around you will too. You might even catch the eye of a girl like Linda. More...

Britney on filmIf you like Body in Mind photos of Britney you're going to love our new videos of her. We know a lot of pay sites feature videos of beautiful young women frolicking around completely nude, but we have been holding out for videos that have the same spirit as our photos and it has been a long wait. It seems the hardest thing in the world for a male photographer to shoot a naked girl without getting distracted by her obvious sexual charms. You usually end up with a video that is way too focussed on sex and forgets all about the beauty of the woman. And since Body in Mind is about this beauty, and features only nude photography that manages to capture it, we didn't think it was right to compromise on video. So we didn't. And we haven't. At last we can say "Coming soon on Body in Mind, videos, all the beauty, without the sex". More... Sample | More Britney | Join | Permalink |

In honor of Bettie PageBettie Page was the first woman I ever saw actually enjoying being nude. Before her, female nudes were either 'art' in which the woman's body was treated as an inanimate sculpture and her face obscured or ignored, or they were dark, seedy, very graphic images that depicted women in various degrees of fake sexual pleasure. Not until the miraculous Bettie Page came along could a woman happily romp around completely nude in the sunlight without a care in the world. It is that vision of women and their beauty that continues to inspire us at Body in Mind to this day - women in full gloriously happy possession of their faculties, their bodies, and their beauty. No one will ever do it better than Bettie, and like Marilyn Monroe and Anna Nicole Smith, there will never be another one. Her death is a reason for great sadness, but her images are one of mankind's greatest monuments to human freedom and happiness. We'll miss you Bettie, and we dedicate this gallery of Zuzana done in her style, to her. More... |

The big teaseWe love a good strip tease. Who doesn't? Yet for some reason it's hard to find online. Maybe because there's more interest in straight out porn. But there's no denying a certain men's kind of romance and sense of fun in strip tease that doesn't exist in porn. And strip tease IS becoming more popular, and more common online. These things come in waves I suppose but tease and camp are hot right now, so we thought we'd throw some of the best we've found at you, from our friends at Pretty4Ever.com. The model is the delightful Maya, or as they call her Izolda. But she can't hide that body no matter what name she uses. Or rather, she can. That's what makes strip tease so wonderful. It's a gift with a smile. And who doesn't love that? More... |

What's newOur galleries this week are about newness. It's very easy to get into a rut no matter who you are or what you do. We don't like ruts. So before they happen we like to mix things up a bit around here. Nothing radical. Body in Mind is not about to start featuring porn or naked men or anything like that. Can you see what's different about this gallery of Ingrid? Besides the cover design. That's obvious. One thing we've learned in our time is that female beauty is inexhaustable. We've been fascinated and in love with it for 45 years and we're constantly finding new things to admire about it, and it's still giving us new and interesting ideas nearly every day. So walk on the rails with us and Ingrid, go a bit farther down the tracks than you usually do. Change your tastes, even a little. It'll keep you new. More... Sample | More Ingrid | Join | Permalink |

How long?How long can you stand to be around a beautiful nude woman? We all assume it would be heaven to have a gorgeous nude girl like Klaudia around all the time. But if you really think about it, or if you have been lucky enough to actually find yourself in such a situation, then you might realize it's not so easy. Most men experience a sexual reaction to a beautiful girl, and this can be awkward if that girl is not your lover. And it gets even more difficult if that girl is as beautiful as Klaudia. But one thing we have learned from being in such a situation many times, is that the longer you can sustain the enjoyment of a beautiful nude woman without reacting sexually, the more poingnant and powerful her beauty becomes. In fact, it's possible to get sort of 'drunk' on it, to experience a state of rare rapture, of tantric exctasy, a state even more enjoyable, physically and mentally, than sex. And it lasts much longer. You will feel enlightened, energized, inspired and free. In this way, beauty really is more powerful than sex. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

Surrounded by beautiful nude womenWe love the idea of having beautiful nude women around all the time. So we gave Chris Ruegge a simple assignment: "Make Klaudia look at home". We wondered, if you could actually have it, in real life, what would it look like? Who would these girls be? How would they feel about being nude all the time? Would you have to pay them? If so, how much? Would you have to be nude too? Or you could take another tack and simply befriend girls who like being nude and pretend you're gay? Maybe you could become a famous artist or photographer who needs nude models 24/7. Needless to say it's not going to be easy to surround yourself with beautiful nude women. But it's not impossible. Just ask Hugh Hefner, or Petter Hegre, or... simply come to Body in Mind, and visit Klaudia at home in the nude, anytime. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

The acid testAgain, women are being attacked with acid. But for going to school is not the real reason they were attacked. Just as virgins were supposedly thrown into volcanos to appease gods, just as "witches" were burned at the stake supposedly for consorting with the devil, so young women are attacked with acid supposedly for educating themselves. It's all bull. Virgins, witches, students are all attacked for the same reason - because they are beautiful. Notice that it is beauty - physical beauty - that is destroyed by acid, or burning, or volcanos for that matter. Beauty, the common thread, the objective representation of values, is the target. People trying to maintain a hold over the masses with fear, mysticism, and irrational dogmas lash out at young women like viscious children unable to tolerate a higher authority than their whims. They know that intelligence only makes a woman like Maya, who is attending university in Russia, more beautiful. They just don't want us to know that they know. More... |

WalterBosque-Art.comThey have beautiful women in Argentina who are not afraid to pose nude. Who knew? Walter Bosque, that's who. When we try to picture Walter we get the image of a South American mountain man, venturing high into the Andes to find those places of timeless sacred beauty. We imagine finding beautiful women to pose happily nude in Argentina is just about as arduous, and lonely. But also just as rewarding when you find that fountain of youth that is female beauty.

Modern style - against the grainPhotos of nude women in the early days of photography have their own style. They are sepia, dark, very frank, with little theatrical touches. Later, when nightlife - and still later movies - became popular, photos of nude women were very active, flappers, topless swimwear, nude volleyball come to mind. In the 1950s and 60s the glamour of movie stars gave birth to glamour photography. The news hungry 90s made nude photos very editorial, very staid, very plain, black and white. But what is today's style? Natural, yes, realism, okay, but so are extreme angles and outrageous behaviour. Natural nudes and Suicide Girls are opposites, but both reactions to the previous norm. We left this set of Nikkala mostly unedited, dark, grainy, somewhat disjointed, Nikkala "on" for the camera and off, just Nikkala, extreme in natural beauty - the new modern style. More... |

What to teach your children about naked womenBody in Mind often talks about the feminists and religious fundamentalists who hate female beauty and beautiful women. But there's another kind of beauty-hater - perhaps the most dangerous of all: the over-protective parent. This decade has seen the rise of the mother who hides her little boy's eyes from women's magazine covers and the father who won't let his little angel bare her tummy. The problem is, by hiding it, these parents teach their children that female beauty - and sexuality - is a bad thing, and their children grow up believing it. Yet it's the idea that female beauty is bad that leads to atrocities like this week the case of a girl being raped and the justice system responding not by punishing her attacker but by punishing her, by stoning her to death. Since they believe the beauty that attracted a rapist is fundamentally bad then of course they end up punishing her, or the example of supposed 'fans' who post every single photo set from a model's paysite on file-sharing forums effectively putting her out of business. Deep down they think she's immoral for using her beauty, so they don't mind hurting her terribly. Something to think about when you try to keep an honest open approach to female beauty away from your children. More than worrying about what it might teach them if they see it, you should be worried about what you teach them when you cover it up. More... Sample | More Kyla Cole | Join | Permalink |

Super Beauties - Nude and NaturalIn the 1960s the movies were full of them. In the 70s they were TV stars; in the 80s they were supermodels. And in the 90s, they were making porn.

A Halloween treatI drove through the golden afternoon light, through the rolling hills of what was probably the last little bit of undeveloped countryside in the whole area. As I drove over crunching gravel towards the small hand lettered sign that read simply "Brant Family Farm", the familiar produce stand came into view. But something was odd. There were cars everywhere, lining both sides of the street, some haphazardly parked on a precarious angle alongside the ditch. Men milled about, or stood frozen, all of them gazing in one direction. Marina was at the produce stand, talking and laughing as she took money and helped customers pick out pumpkins. She wore a long flowing white skirt and nothing else. More...

Something perfectly good and naturalThis series of Britney by Max Asolo is one of our favourites lately because it perfectly captures our view of what female beauty should be. In it Britney is presenting herself nude in such a straightforward way that she sanctions both nudity and beauty. She sanctions nudity by refusing to be ashamed of herself, and shows everyone that she knows she's inately valuable, that she feels no need to cover herself in clothing or embellish herself with make-up; and she sanctions beauty by refusing to be blatantly sexual, which says beauty alone is enough of a reason for a photo shoot, and that the sexual excitement of men is less important. Britney is so natural about it she is almost blase, except for the quiet happiness it brings her, and her awareness of the happiness it brings us. These photos tell us "Female beauty is not evil or shameful - it's just a really, really nice thing, something perfectly good and natural." More... Sample | More Britney | Join | Permalink |

The "evil" eyeA mix of sexuality and morality creates the phenomenon we call female beauty. This formula extends even to the beauty of the face, and to the soul of the face, the eyes. If you look carefully you will see that all of the most beautiful supermodels have one "good" eye and one "bad" eye, that is, one eye fully open and the other slightly squinted. This puts the lie to the popular idea that symmetry is what makes a woman's face beautiful. What makes a woman's face beautiful is the mix of morality and sexuality represented, for example, by her two eyes. The "good" eye represents morality, the "bad", sexuality. If you don't believe me, try covering one side of almost any model's face, and then the other, and see if you don't agree that one side of their faces looks angelic, the other a little sly. You might see what I mean in this set of the incredibly beautiful Klaudia. But even if you don't, you have to admit her eyes are not symmetrical, yet she's perfectly beautiful. And now you know why.

Sex and morality, together?Perhaps no single idea has done more harm to each one of us than the belief that sex is immoral. It isn't, but most believe it is. But why pursue sex to the fullest if it's immoral? Why be as moral as possible when it would mean missing out on sex? So most people pursue sex and their other values only half-heartedly, because they believe having them all is impossible. Others pursue only one or the other. Female beauty says otherwise. Nothing is more beautiful than a woman who is sexy and moral. Nikkala Stott for example. By keeping her knickers on she is as sexy and as moral as a nude model could possibly be, or any woman for that matter. Would Nikkala be more ethical completely naked, or sexier fully clothed? If not Nikkala then who would? If sex really is immoral, why does it go so well with morality? And why would nature make beauty the result? Sex is not immoral. Nikkala - and nature - prove it.

A completely different idea of female beautyDown through history female beauty has been seen as superficial and sleazy, with inner workings that are suspicious and sinister in nature. Beautiful women have paid the price for this view. They have been ridiculed and butchered, both by individual madmen and by entire civilizations. We have a different idea. We believe that female beauty is, in fact, a grand and glorious thing to which every one of us owes our lives (since none of us would be here if our fathers hadn't found our mothers attractive), and that beautiful women are often, but not always, among God's sweetest and noblest creatures, inspiring love, not violence, morality, not depravity, braving derision, condemnation and sometimes even death in order to share with us a simple, but priceless gift: their beauty.

Pure joyJoy is the most wonderful thing in the world, and perhaps the rarest. How many times have you felt it? Once, twice? How do we make it happen more often? Female beauty holds the key. Look at Kyla Cole in this series by Michael White and you will see it. Joy is happiness without contradiction. It is a feeling of complete and utter exaltation, freedom, success, and personal importance. And since happiness is getting what you want, joy is getting everything you want without anything you don't. Not easy, but not impossible either. To do it you need to check your values. You have to make sure they don't contradict each other. Are you trying to build a sense of personal importance in yourself, or are you caving in to the popular call to sacrifice to others? Are you working for a concrete achievable goal in which success is possible, or is your idea of success some vague "a life well-lived" kind of thing? Are you free to pursue your dreams or have you burdened yourself with other "responsibilities". If you've never exalted yourself, how can you expect ever to achieve exaltation? Joy is possible. Check your values. Respect yourself. Admire beauty. And it will come. Just ask Kyla. More... Sample | More Kyla Cole | Join | Permalink |

The right time for beautyBeautiful women are like sunflowers. They blossom in the sun, and they reflect back more beauty than they get. October is the time when sunflowers blossom into full bloom and then start to droop with the weight of their thousands of seeds. October is also the time when a beautiful woman's tanned body is most radiant, when our hearts skip a beat at the increasingly rare sight of a woman's bare skin, and when their beauty begins to droop and disappear with the weight of long pants, bulky sweaters, and even coats. We love October, and we hate October. We love it for maximizing the beauty of a nude woman, and we hate it for being so fleeting. If you haven't gotten your lady naked in a patch of sunflowers or a cornfield yet, do it this weekend. Her beauty is at its ripest right now. More... Sample | More Tanzi | Join | Permalink |

Bite meThe apple, symbol of ripeness and plenty, the rosy richness of life, health and vitality. The apple, also symbol of temptation, sin, and the ultimate fall from grace. But which is it? It can't be something good and bad. The law of identity says nothing can ever be itself and its opposite at the same time. It's impossible. The same is true of female beauty. Some people tell us it's evil and others that it's good. But which is it? At Body in Mind, we believe that Nikkala Stott in her prime is a ripe apple, delicious to the eyes, meant to be enjoyed like the sweetest fruit, and savoured as dearly as life itself. Whatever morality you attach to them, in the end, an apple is only an apple, and Nikkala is just Nikkala. If we find a perfect apple fallen from a tree, we eat it, it tastes good, it's nourishing, and we feel lucky for finding it. Nikkala nude is also a lucky find, and her beauty is a juicy apple that commands simply and happily, "bite me". More... |

Women are more beautiful than girlsWe got an email from a guy this week who condemned Body in Mind for not featuring younger girls on our site, "ages 10-17", he said. After all, if Body in Mind is about female beauty first and foremost, he went on, then we should have the integrity to feature the beauty of young girls as well, shouldn't we? I told him that the beauty of women is so awesome a force in the universe that when compared to it, the beauty of girls approaches almost complete insignificance. If girls are beautiful at all it's only because they resemble women in some way. For Body in Mind to feature girls would be like a car racing website featuring roller skates. Beauty is the representation of values. To men, beautiful women represent a myriad of adult human values: sex, purpose, confidence, maturity, intelligence, success, wealth, etc. However, to men who refuse to grow up and don't want to pursue values, young girls are beautiful because they represent a world where growing up and pursuing values is not yet necessary. That's hardly something worth devoting a website to. More... Sample | More Ashley | Join | Permalink |

Why high heels suckI must be the only man who hates high heels. I do. I think they're ridiculous. People will agree that attaching sticks, barbs, and all variety of torturous objects to runway models' bodies at an Alexander McQueen show is absurd. But say one bad thing about 7 inch spikes coming out of a lady's shoes and find yourself instantly alone. Everyone but me seems to love them. Some nonsense about making a woman's calves look nicer or something. Call me kooky but I think a woman's calf looks quite nice all by itself. Check out Ingrid's in this photoset and see if you agree. Yet how many other websites would have stuck some stupid high heels on her? I saw an attractive woman walking down the street today wearing Capri pants and simple flats on her feet. I looked for her over my shoulder long past rounding a corner and watching her pass out of sight. She was walking quickly, somewhere to go, something to do. I like that. I like a woman with a purpose, with a vision of her own. And that's why I don't like high heels. They stress appearance over substance, and I like a woman with substance. And if I like her enough to have sex with her, she'd usually take her shoes off anyway. - DBell More... Sample | More Ingrid | Join | Permalink |

Megan Fox defends Vanessa Hudgens over nude photo apologySeptember 27, 2008 - Megan Fox, the sultry beauty who starred in Transformers, has lashed out at Disney for making one of it's young stars apologize over nude pictures of her leaked on the web. So do we. Only beauty-haters make women apologize instead of those who sexually abuse them. Publishing nude photos without permission is no different than having sex without permission.

Vive la differenceWhat is it that makes Nikkala Stott so incredibly beautiful? A huge part of it is the fact that she is so supremely feminine - every single part of her is not only perfectly proportioned and marvellously formed, but formed in the way proper only to a woman. For example, her legs, or her back, or her neck, or her chin, or her elbows for that matter. Every part of her that can be different from a man's, is. This is what makes it possible for a man to ponder for several minutes the soft rounded orbs of her glorious derriere. Yes, they are perfectly smooth and nicely naked, but what is so wondrous - and mesmerizing to we men - is that it is so completely a woman's bum. Ultimately, it is the differences between our bodies that fascinate both men and women with each other, and Nikkala is about as far from a man, and as close to the perfect woman as you can get.

Female beauty is a wishing wellFemale beauty has amazing powers, powers that we humans haven't even begun to understand. For example, did you know you can wish on it like a falling star or a deep well? And it will make all your dreams come true? This is because just like a mirror or a deep reflecting pool we see ourselves in a beautiful woman. We see how we could be - and should be - in order to have her love in our lives. Deep down our brains know that to have a beautiful woman in our lives we have to be and do great things. This is why young boys put photos of beautiful women on their walls. Instinctively they use female beauty like art, as inspiration for their dreams. They look and admire and they wish. And if they are listening to what female beauty promises they make themselves into great men who achieve their dreams, including the love an amazing woman. More...

Naked for a livingThere is a huge difference between nude models who do it to pay for school, to attract - or gain their freedom from - a boyfriend, or to temporarily make a living, and those who do it as their profession. Girls who do it just for money never seem to do it very long, or very well. They might be stunningly gorgeous, but after a few short seasons of posing they disappear, usually to our dismay. It never clicks in their brains that posing nude might actually be a good thing, better than any one thing it might buy. But career models do click with it. At some point they realize that their beauty is the best thing that will ever happen to them and they go with it. Of course some girls have more brains than beauty and it's right they should do something else. But we are glad that in America and the UK at least, there are still beautiful women who pose nude for a living and believe it's a good thing. They will always have a special place on Body in Mind.

Kyla Cole: The Palm Tree - Part 2In ancient Rome, the palm tree was a symbol of triumph and victory. The Christians use it to symbolize victory over 'enemies of the soul', and in Judaism, the palm represents peace and plenty. Since the birth of human civilization itself, the palm tree has had a substantial effect on human life. The date palm provided food, shelter from the hot sun and driving desert winds, and nearly every part of the plant had some useful purpose. So how appropriate that BiM photographer Michael White chose to shoot renowned beauty Kyla Cole by a towering palm. She reminds us that beauty, too, is a symbol of triumph and victory, that it can defeat 'enemies of the soul', and that when life's gritty winds blow, there's no better shelter than the sight of a beautiful woman.

Beautiful sexualityBeauty and sex are not the same thing. Beauty is the representation of values, while sex is the physical expression of romantic love. Yet many people - Americans especially - have a hard time separating the two, or for that matter, enjoying the two together. For example beauty contests do their very best to remove any 'sexual' overtones, justifying the swimsuit segment as a 'poise and fitness' test. Meanwhile, porn sites compete with each other over who how depraved they can be. (You never hear about porn sites claiming to be the nicest and most beautiful.) But beauty and sex are always better when mixed with each other. Porn is always better when the actors are beautiful, and beauty is always more appealing when there's a little romance hinted at. Therefore Body in Mind doesn't remove every single sexual overtone in our photos, or romantic overtone, or any element of beauty. We hope this gallery of new BiM model Ingrid captures the essence of beautiful sexuality. More... Sample | More Ingrid | Join | Permalink |

ObjectifyPeople who hate female beauty always chide beauty-lovers for 'objectifying women', when really it is they who treat beautiful women like objects with no right to choose their own careers. But did you know there is also a purely conceptual way to prove the insincerity of such beauty-haters? The secret is to objectify beauty, not women. DBell defines beauty as the representation of values, which means beauty is not just a physical quality of a woman, but is a physical quality that represents something else, some value or set of values. For example, if a woman is tall, curvy, and happy, we see beauty in her because these qualities represent confidence, sex, and success - desirable values. The human brain is hard-wired to see beauty in anything that represents values. Those who are against objectification of women should embrace a definition that separates a woman from her beauty instead of one that villifies her for it. But they don't. On the other hand, we were struck by the objective beauty of Ira in this set by Anton Volkov, and while much of the content on his site, avErotica.com is more sexual than we like, it doesn't stop us from enjoying the remarkable beauty of models like Ira. We hope you enjoy it too. More... |

White is rightWhite is the color of purity, innocence, cleanliness, wholesomeness, virtue. White is the color of heaven, of a welcoming smile, it's the endless possibilities of the blank page, and the empty canvas that gives paint colors their glow. White is not the color of a nude website. Porn sites are the dark side of man's excesses, the place to indulge our most depraved fantasies, hidden, furtive, and to be forgotten in the light of day. Black is the color for such sites. Right? Well it seems Body in Mind didn't get that memo. 11 years ago all porn sites were black with cheesy starbursts in strategic spots and warnings about naked women. But we don't believe beauty and virtue are depraved or deserve to be hidden. So we made our site white, and we never covered what God had made. Now most major nude websites do the same. It took them years to realize what we've always known, that female beauty is a god-like quality, and that the men who uphold its value are heroes. And everyone knows white is the color of gods and heroes. It's to this wonderful color and all it represents that we devote this series of 4 photo sets of Nikkala Stott shot appropriately, by Michael White. More... |

Dressed or undressed?What does it really mean to be properly dressed? Usually people use that term to mean that our jiggly bits are not visible, that we have covered them in clothing. But what if we could do this without clothes? Or more still, what if we could keep our jiggly bits from sexually arousing or disgusting those who can see us? We've often seen elegant women dressed to the nines on red carpets half naked, some even revealing their breasts or pubic triangle. And no one freaks out. In fact over the years many top fashion designers have designed clothes that are meant to reveal. So then, maybe a better definition of clothing and being dressed in general is that they are meant to show other people how we wish to be regarded. If we want to be seen as classy, we dress a certain way, if we want to be sexy, another. Expert dressers can pull off both at once. We thought Linda dressed only in light and shadow might give you food for thought on this subject. Even thought she's completely nude, we think she's also perfectly dressed. More...

Is it safe to sit on the fence?Sitting on the fence is the safe thing to do. That's the general concensus. If you don't stick your neck out you won't get in trouble, and both sides of an issue will leave you alone. But is it really safe to leave battles over things that matter to you to other people? What if your side loses? Is it really safe to risk losing something important? And what is it you're then safe from? Winning? One battle where almost everyone sits on the fence is the issue of nudity, specifically, female nudity. Clothes themselves are a type of fence, a barrier, a truce in the ancient and ongoing struggle between full freedom and full submission to others. Fashions and degrees of acceptable nudity vary from person to person, culture to culture, and from era to era. Certain celebrities can be naked in the media, while women in some religious cultures can be executed for showing an ankle. Body in Mind believes female beauty like Tanzi's is there to sway us all off the fence, to inspire us all to take sides and to fight for what we believe in and care about. The people who hate female beauty have made their position quite clear. Have you? Get off the fence and take a stand. It's the only safe thing to do. More... Sample | More Tanzi | Join | Permalink |

Intellectual property wrongsInformation is free. Or at least it should be. That's what we're told. The world wide web is a triumph for the democracy of information. Right? Wrong. The concept that everyone should have equal access to all data in the world is a very popular lie perpetrated by people who want everything to be free, so that they can sell it, a lie that appeals to consumers who want things for free, meant to take intellectual property away from its owners, declaring that freedom of information is a victory for the 'little guy' in the fight against greedy corporate giants. In fact, the truth is quite different. Most popular nude websites like Body in Mind regularly have all of their content stolen by file "sharers" and credit card defrauders who make money by posting these photos on myriad free image hosts like ImageVenue.com and Rapidshare.com. These image hosting companies then make lots of money from these stolen images either by charging a fee to the public to download them or by posting ads beside them for corporate giants like VISA, American Express, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble, etc. The failure of the governments of the world to protect and uphold copyrights helps everyone make money off creative works, except the creators. Just as environmentalists want to destroy property rights so they can do what they want with land, so globalists want to destroy intellectual property rights so they and corporate giants can make money from someone else's creation.

Inner beauty versus outer beautyMany people claim that when it comes to human females, unlike everything else in the universe, beauty is actually on the inside. But by praising "inner beauty" they are actually attempting to downplay and belittle "outer" beauty. This is why they never tell us exactly what character traits actually create this "inner beauty". But in reality, "inner beauty" is responsible for making a woman beautiful - not figuratively, but literally. "Outer" beauty is actually the result of the physical appearance of certain "inner" character traits which a woman possesses or else appears to possess, including purpose, self-esteem, intelligence, innocence, happiness, benevolence, selfishness, etc. If a woman like Vika appears to possess these things then she becomes beautiful.

Arch angelAngels. From the little cherubs with rosy cheeks to Satan himself...angels come in all shapes and sizes. An invention of early religious scholars, angels were originally male. Satan was one of the orginal angels, an archangel in fact, like Michael and Gabriel. It's only after millenia that artists began to invent the female version. Such a creature is never mentioned in the Bible or the Koran. Yet beautiful women as angels satisfy a real need in us, the need to find a perfect woman, a woman who will rescue us from depravity and suffering with her virtue and beauty. We often see photos of beautiful nude women wearing wings. The wings are an awkward attempt to represent virtue, which is pretty hard to depict in a photo, but we think a woman like Linda shows it quite well, not only in her pride in herself, but in her happiness, her confidence, and her courage. So we left the wings off, because even without them Linda is still 100% angel - an arch angel. More... Sample | More Linda | Join | Permalink |

Kyla Cole versus 70 virgins in heavenSaudi cleric Omar Al-Sweilem recently described the beauty of the virgins who supposedly await any suicide bomber in heaven: "...when she comes to you so tall and with her beautiful face, her black hair and white face - praised be He who created night and day. What hair! What a chest! What a mouth! What cheeks! What a figure! What breasts! What thighs! What legs! What whiteness! What softness!" He told us that if you entered one of the palaces, you would find ten black-eyed virgins sprawled on musk cushions. "When they see you, they will get up and run to you. When they get hold of you, Jamal! Allah Akbar!...one of them would place her mouth on yours. Do whatever you want. Another one would press her cheek against yours, yet another would press her chest against yours, and the others would await their turn. There is no god but Allah." Okay, let's see if we have this straight: admiring beautiful women is evil on earth, but kinky sex with strangers is perfectly okeydokey in heaven? You know, we'll just take the earthly beauty of the one and only Kyla Cole any day. You can't replace beauty with sex, or quality with quantity, or real life with thin air, or virtue with hypocrisy. And with beauty like Kyla's around, why would anyone want to? More... Sample | More Kyla Cole | Join | Permalink |

Eternal loverAs beautiful as a field of lush crimson poppies looks, it might seem like an odd place in which to photograph a beautiful woman. Poppies, after all, are a symbol of sleep because of the opium derived from them, and death because of their lurid blood red hue. A whole field of poppies evokes the image of a drowsy, dreamy, eternal sleep, not the sort of place to find the vibrant, engaging delight for the senses that is a beautiful woman. Yet we think this set by new BiM photographer Iurii Galmour shows the beauty of Ingrid to perfection.

Breath takersIt goes without saying that BiM photographer Michael White is one of our favourites. His photos of page 3 models such as Nikkala Stott, Michelle Marsh, and Peta Todd are already classics, if we do say so ourselves. So we're thrilled to introduce our readers to Michael's new site, Breath-Takers.com. Created with close collaborator, Nuke, Breath-Takers.com is exactly what it sounds like, a nude site dedicated to bringing its viewers all those moments when the sheer beauty of a woman takes our breath away. From soft sex-kittens in knitted sweaters to hard-edge vamps in fishnet and leather, no nuance of beauty is missed. And more than that, no site we've ever seen is better at capturing the way a nude glamour shoot really feels as it's happening. Look through 3 or 4 sets in the members area and you feel like you're one of the crew. Look through more, and you start to feel like you're one of the model's best friends, privileged to have your breath taken away. Beauty does that. Breath-Takers.com does it too. More... |

Beauty and the law of cause and effectOne of the amazing things about beauty - true beauty - is that you can put it in the ugliest places and it still shines - like a diamond in a coal mine. In fact, real beauty can make everything nicer. For example, Carmen in this old warehouse makes it look pretty good. The dusty greens and drab grays look really good against her pink skin and strawberry blonde hair. This is why we see so many beautiful women in advertising. They make things look good. There wouldn't be any advertising - no billboards, no magazines, no tv commercials - if there were no beautiful women to make it work in the first place. See here. To suggest - as many people do these days - that uglier women should be used is a logical contradiction. Beauty causes advertising, not the other way around. You can try to replace beauty with ugliness, but just as stealing wealth won't make you a good businessman, or hitting someone with a club won't make you right, removing beauty won't make things better. Only adding it will. More... Sample | More Carmen | Join | Permalink |

Beauty can save the world, reallyWe at Body in Mind are always telling people that beauty can save the world. And we mean it. But rarely does a beauty come along who perfectly illustrates our point. How does it work? Simple. If you're a young man, and you're healthy and possess a normal sex drive, you will find Klaudia very beautiful, and you will begin to fantasize about her. If you have a mind you will fantasize not only about sex with her, but about having her as a girlfriend, about her falling in love with you and so on. And if you're a moral man, you will know that to make this happen you will have to earn it, you will have to impress her as much as she's impressed you. And to do that, you will have to do something great. That is how beauty will save the world. It makes intelligent, moral men great. Start saving yourself, and the world, today, at Body in Mind.

Nude at the office - collectors' editionIt's hard to believe it's been 3 years since Body in Mind first brought you our ground-breaking photos of Nikkala Stott nude at work. Not a cheesy sexy secretary thing. We've all seen that done to death. Our idea was different. Imagine a world where a beautiful woman can feel free to be as nude as she likes, and what better way than to show Nikkala Stott nude at work without any adverse reactions or consequences. In fact, this idea inspired a whole day-in-the-life series where Nikkala integrated the beauty of her nude body into as many real life situations as possible. We love that idea and we thought Nikkala fans would love to see the photos we didn't use in the first edit of this set. It's a collector's must have, as is the entire day-in-the-life series. As, of course, is anything Nikkala does. More... |

The beauty of springSpring is amazing. It's the time when all living things start to invest all their effort in being beautiful. Everything is coming back to life, growing, filling with color, reaching for the sun, blossoming, giving birth, filling the earth and skies, and changing the planet for the better. It's the time when the earth re-affirms the importance of physical beauty. Animals and plants use the power of beauty automatically. But we humans can't. We lost this ability when we gained the power of volition. But we gained the ability to choose our values. We became capable of choosing the wrong values, but also of choosing to build on the right ones, something animals and plants can't do. So this spring we at Body in Mind remind everyone to choose beauty, and to build on its life-giving, life-building, and life-affirming qualities. Purposely surround yourself with it and let it inspire you like fresh spring air. Put up your favourite photos from Body in Mind everywhere, like leaves on a tree, and do it with the knowledge that nature wants you to, and for good reason: to be and feel alive! More...

Nikkala Stott fully nudeThe most common question we are asked at Body in Mind is when is Nikkala Stott going to get completely naked. The answer is, when she's good and ready. The tone of the people who ask this question if often very rude, very accusing and very impatient, as if Nikkala is teasing them too much, or as if Body in Mind is not giving them what they've paid for. We've actually refunded memberships to a few guys who were downright hostile about it, as if they deserved to see Nikkala naked just because they managed to come up with 10 bucks for a membership. What everyone needs to remember is that Nikkala is one of the most beautiful women to ever exist, and that we are all incredibly lucky to lay eyes on her even fully clothed, let alone half naked. And if we ever get to see absolutely everything God gave her, it will be as if we've died and gone to heaven. But just like on earth, there's a LOT to enjoy before that happens. More... |

Selling beautyDid you know that star BiM models Nadya and Britney are actually Ukranian sisters? It's very difficult for photographers to find beautiful women to pose nude anywhere else in the world. In the late 80s and early 90s even the world's most famous models and actresses had no problem appearing fully nude. Cindy Crawford, Madonna, Sharon Stone, all made more money than any woman ever before simply by using their beauty, in fashion, music, and movies. But since then, the success of beautiful women has been misrepresented as the opposite, as degradation and exploitation. But women like Cindy, Madonna, Sharon, Nadya and Britney are anything but victims. They are powerful women using their beauty to get what they want. And unless we want also to lose all our eastern European nude models to the modern tide of political "correctness", it's time we learned that selling beauty is a good thing. More...

Can YOU perceive beauty?One of the startling predictions made by D.Bell's theory of female beauty is the existence of people who lack the capacity to perceive any beauty at all. The beauty blind. We all like to think we have great taste and can appreciate great beauty, but how do we then explain the ugliness of our cities? How do you explain so much repetition in all areas of aesthetics, from the identical front lawns of suburban homes to the endless stream of nude images we find online. Do we all share the same taste, or do we copy others precisely because we can't perceive beauty for ourselves? D.Bell says the latter. Because we lack instinct to tell us what is good or bad for us, we must choose our values for ourselves and we need a way to continue to be attracted to them even when we're tired or forgetful. This is provided by our faculty of beauty. Beauty is the representation of our values. Invariably, we find beautiful anything that possesses or reminds us of our values. Therefore, those who fail to choose their values, simply copying the actions of others, are rendered incapable of perceiving beauty. This is why there's so much ugliness in the world. There's only as much beauty as people who choose their values. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

From Russia with LoveAlexander loves female beauty and takes brilliant nude photos of the loveliest ladies he can find. But because there's no such thing as property rights in his land, his photos are soon taken and distributed to anyone interested in them. Alexander is not paid. And he has no money to give to his models. We like to think things are different here, but there is actually no country on earth that offers protection for property rights - let alone intellectual property rights - in their constitutions. Not even the USA. This is why the Digital Millenium Copyright Act allows websites to let their users publish stolen work. The result is hundreds of thousands of MP3s, movie videos and even Body in Mind photo sets being stolen and illegally 'shared' around the internet every day. And it is only by the good graces of those honorable enough to pay for them, that any of them exist in the first place. And it's thanks to them that Alexander has his own site now, called From Russia with Love. More... Sample | More Syndi | Join | Permalink |

The pillar that is female beautyThe sheer numbers of nude images of beautiful women on the web today is incredible. Many people would say the fascination men have with naked women is a sign of decaying moral values, and that prefering an image of a beautiful woman over a loving sexual relationship with a real woman is just plain sad. But the fact is, female beauty represents one's values - whatever we find beautiful we do so because we want it in real life. So a man might adore Maya's photos because he wants in real life what she seems to possess, be it beauty, confidence, power, or lifestyle. His moral failure to pursue these things in real life and in a real woman is his fault. Female beauty tells him to act; society tells him not to trust it, so he limits himself to impotent fantasies. Therefore it's those who deny the moral importance of female beauty that cause modern moral decay, and there are more of them, certainly, than photos of nude women. More... |

Woman is the decoration of the worldBeauty is not the same thing as decoration. Decoration is something you put on things that by themselves are not beautiful. For example a cake, or a dance hall. A beautiful woman, therefore, should never be decorated - no jewellery, no nail paint, no tattoos. This is because beautiful women are the decoration of the world, and as soon as you decorate them, our attention is drawn away from the aesthetic harmony between woman and the world and is focused on her bracelets, or her lingerie, or anything else used to decorate her. But when a woman like Deirdre is stripped of all decoration, then we see her true beauty, without distraction, and a barren spring morning becomes beautiful. More...

The nude cubeThese days, female beauty is a science. This age old mystery has at last been reduced by cash starved, publicity hungry modern university psychology and anthropology departments to something we can now easily understand, measure, quantify, perform comparative analysis on, and dismiss. If a woman is considered beautiful at all - a word which now has an almost superstitious stink to it - we know it is nothing but a genetic bias towards reproduction based on averaged facial measurements. The female body is nothing but a jumble of cubes, spheres, and other known and documented aesthetically pleasing shapes. Uh, yeah. And if you believe all that, then this nude gallery of Linda's beautiful form won't hold any fascination for you at all. More... Sample | More Linda | Join | Permalink |

Crimson QueenWe always liked those old etchings depicting the legendary Queen of Sheba, fully nude and adorned with only a few feathers and precious jewels, holding public court and receiving foreign dignitaries and sundry homage makers. The way she held her head high with pride, not only in her kingdom but in herself. Not a trace of shame in her own nudity, nor in her power to seduce her world. Sadly, today, being a queen in the ancient world seems the only way ANY woman can ever achieve full ownership and possession of her own body and her own beauty. Well that, and of course a photo session with Chris Ruegge. ;-) More... Sample | More Petula | Join | Permalink |

Good things happen with Nikkala StottOn a grey day, when everything is dark and gloomy and storms are loomimg, there's nothing more comforting and cozy than a big old sweater. The familiar, safe, and reliable feelings we get from the things we love make everything okay. This is the same feeling we get from female beauty, and for the same reason. Female beauty reminds us that we human beings can be like gods and goddesses should we choose to fulfil our true potential. It reminds us that success and happiness are possible, and that is a very reassuring feeling. Unfortunately, the storms of life leave many of us torn and battered, but like an old sweater that never lets us down, the rare and comfortingly real beauty of Nikkala Stott is always there to remind us that good things happen too.

Beauty harmonyCan a nude photo of a buxom and curvy woman be art? Of course. One of the classical elements of design is color harmony. For example, in this series of Peach we see a lovely harmony between her yellow hair, the gold cushions, and the magenta silk sheets. This is a perfect choice of colors for nude photography because yellow and magenta are also the colours that blend into the color of a nude woman's skin. Together they are lively happy colors, which also perfectly suit Peach's personality. So again we have an element of art - a theme - each element of the photo matching and supporting the others. And lastly there's the harmony of a nude woman being presented with as much care as possible, which harmonizes with our optimistic vision of how female beauty should be treated. Not only is there color, composition, a subject and theme, but there is also a 'message'. If not art, then what else is it? More... Sample | More Peach | Join | Permalink |

The middle of nowhereOne of the great things about beauty is that you can find it in the most unexpected places. For example, who knew that the Hubble space telescope would look farther into the heavens than anyone even had and see such lovely arrangements of gaseous nebulae? Or at the other end of the scale, that sub-atomic particles violently disintegrating into quarks would do so with the grace and elegance of figure skaters? It's the same with female beauty. The fashion world is full of great beauties who were discovered in small towns all around the world, many from countries that haven't even heard of women's fashion. And then there's the Ukraine. Famous for...well...nothing. Yet, this country produces the most beautiful nude models in the world. Our very own Britney is proof of that. The middle of nowhere? No such thing when it comes to beauty. Beauty, it seems, is everywhere. More... Sample | More Britney | Join | Permalink |

We thought we'd use this promo gallery of Britney to let you know since she is featured in the book, along with most of your other favourite Body in Mind models. As the creator of Body in Mind says, you won't find a bigger collection of super beauty in one place anywhere. We were sad to see the supermodels go out of style. So we kept looking for the same kind of super beauties to feature on our site. And we've never stopped. If you loved the super models and miss their kind of beauty, you're going to want this book. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, enjoy the super beauty of Britney in full bloom. More... Sample | More Britney | Join | Permalink |

The men's clubMen have been called 'dogs' and 'perverts' and 'pigs' for generations, all because they get excited about beautiful women. But men aren't animals. In fact, their sexual reactions to beautiful women tend to be typically human and surprisingly sophisticated. For example, in hundreds of years of fine art painting and sculpting you'd be hard pressed to find any degrading depictions of women by men. A more modern example is the gentleman's club, a place where successful, rich men go to enjoy the finer things in life, including beautiful nude female hostesses. In the same way men have created the Folies Bergere, nude house-cleaning, and sexy golf-caddy services - all attempts to fit female beauty into resepctable parts of life. Of course, Body in Mind is also an example. More... |

Perhaps it was in the girls' shower in gym class, or your older sister's teen slumber party. But peeking through keyholes or frustrated curiosities are not what Body in Mind is about. We prefer to be grown up about it, and simply to ask a gorgeous lady like Klaudia to come out from behind her door and let us enjoy the sight of her completely nude. Happily, we find lots of amazing women like her who enjoy showing off and being admired, who show us we never had to feel guilty or hopeless, and how great it is to be all grown up now. In fact, beauties like Klaudia make adulthood way more fun than being a kid ever was. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

The edge of beautyWe like nude female beauty because it's on the edge, the edge of propriety, the edge of aesthetics, the edge of history, the edge of civilization itself. It's the extreme beauty of some women that have made nudity so acceptable in the modern world, and made women freer than they've ever been. Yet the mainstream now considers art to be art only up to the point where the beautiful woman takes her clothes off, and female beauty is often seen as a threat to women. We hate the mainstream. The edge is where everything truly free, alive and exciting happens. Alena knows it. In this set she magically transforms a simple camping trip, a canoe, a wooden dock, a simple riverbank in sunset into something wildly edgy and profoundly beautiful. More...

Nude in real lifeThere are an infinite number of places to photograph a nude woman. So why do we so often see them on furniture such as chairs, couches, tables etc etc? We think it's because deep down as men we always want beautiful naked women in our lives, in our daily lives, in our real lives, not just on paper or on a computer screen. We like to see them photographed in homes, in cars, and in swimming pools for the same reason. It makes us feel more like we've achieved our dream: nude female beauty happily integrated into our lives. Do YOU have a chair or couch perfect for a nude woman to sit on? If not, maybe you should.

Cave womenWomen in caves. Something about them. From prehistoric neanderthals to Freud and his train tunnels, women keep getting paired in our imaginations and our mythologies with caves. We're not sure why nude women don't appear more in early cave paintings. That's what we would have drawn. Happily, we have the modern art of digital photography to capture the beauties that haunt our imaginations, like Deirdre. The female body is an elemental force, no doubt about that. Men in every age knew it, thought about it, painted it, and theorized about it. Every age that, is, except ours. Today the sentiments popular just about everywhere are that female beauty is an irrelevant superficiality and genetic relic. But not here at Body in Mind. To us, nothing could be more important and thought-provoking than the sight of a beautiful young woman nude, cradled in the rock solid curves of our beloved mother earth. More...

The art of teaseEveryone wants to see Nikkala Stott naked. But Nikkala doesn't want to pose fully nude, at least not yet. And that's her right and privilege. She is the one and only owner of her body and it's hers to use as she pleases. Happily, she chooses to use it to please us as well. And it is our privilege to lay our eyes on her. But it is not our right. This is the mistake many people make these days. Many have lost their gratitude and awe for what women like Nikkala share, and instead of enjoying what she gives, they begin to resent women who don't take it all off. In some parts of the world they kill women for being sexual teases. But it's a testiment to our civilization that women like Nikkala have so much freedom that they can make it into an art. More... |

Love bigger than an oceanImagine a world where a woman being nude was no big deal. Mothers didn't freak, preachers didn't preach, and sex fiends didn't attack. Then every day would be just a nice sunny day at the beach, with no worries and no thwarted expectations. A lady could be as nude - or not - as she wanted to be, and we, her trusted friends and admirers would bask in her beauty as we do in the breezes of summer. But to have such a world requires us to see female beauty as a glory of mankind, not a small shameful secret. We must respect a woman and have reverence for her beauty if we want to entice her out of her shell. And that will take a love of women, beauty, mankind, and ourselves, bigger than an ocean. We invite you to take a dip with us in that ocean, in this set of Marina sea side. More... Sample | More Marina M. | Join | Permalink |

Perfect beautyThey say life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. If you've ever worked as a photographer you know that beauty is what happens while you're unpacking your camera or just setting up, or whenever you're not quite ready to shoot. For example, this set was only a 'warm-up' while Chris got used to his brand new camera and Klaudia went on a romp through the garden right after a rain. And even though the shots are admittedly grainy and blurry and not at all technically perfect, they made us feel all summery inside - a welcome feeling after all the winter storms these last few weeks. And inspite of the flaws, we saw great beauty in this set, more than any other we have waiting for you. So we went with it. After seeing it we hope you'll agree: beauty is not perfection, but it is perfect. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

Do-it-yourself perfect worldIt's no news to most of us that the world can be pretty crappy sometimes. But beauty like Nikkala Stott's reminds us that it can be pretty good too. So how do we maximize the good stuff and minimize the bad? Good question. The first step is to realize that there is goodness out there, and beauty, and love, and joy, and to keep an open heart in case they should come into your life today. Don't miss them. The next step is to realize that it's your responsibility to create these things for yourself. It's always been up to YOU to create a perfect world, and any time you spend waiting for someone else to make things right is time wasted. So sing out, that those around you might take heart. And remember that any time you spend working towards a perfect world, is time spent living in it. More... |

Peach in pinkWe wrote a few weeks ago that the way to determine if a photo is porn or not is to just ask yourself if the model is thinking about sex. If she is, then it's probably porn, if not, then it's likely art. Because she's so beautiful, we're thrilled this week to be able to feature internet star "Peach" in her first dedicated gallery at Body in Mind. But Peach has also done a lot of what we would call porn. Yet even in the most explicit poses Peach still manages to exude a Marilyn Monroe-esque type joy in displaying her beauty for all to enjoy don't you think? So is she thinking about sex, or is she thinking about joy? Are her photos art or porn? We leave it for you to decide. And we'd love to hear your answers... More...

Art versus pornThe debate over the difference between art and porn has gone on for decades, centuries even, which kind of mystifies us because the answer is simplicity itself. Porn is a kind of art created to depict sexual subjects and themes, whereas art is created to depict a perfect world. Whatever the artist's or the pornographer's particular view of the world or sex is irrelevant. Porn can be anything from a woman taking sexual pleasure in displaying herself to depictions of actual copulation. And art can be anything from a child's drawing to Michelangelo's David. Nudity is NEVER a determining factor in classifying a work as porn or art. Only sex is. If sex is depicted, then it's porn. If not, then it's art. A simple rule of thumb is: is the depicted person visibly thinking about sex? If they are then it's probably porn; if not, it's art. More... Sample | More Linda | Join | Permalink |

The casting couchThe casting couch has a very bad reputation. It implies that a model or actress has to have sex with her potential employer in order to get a job in a movie or production.

Nikkala Stott's lovin' from the ovenWhen you're around Nikkala Stott in the nude it's difficult to think of anything but, well, Nikkala in the nude. So when she had us around recently we tried very hard to do something that would allow us to remain calm and normal - to preserve our cool. We decided there could be no harm in baking some cookies for the holidays. But it didn't work, we should have known she would find us out. A woman that beautiful knows it. Luckily Nikkala also knows how to have fun with it and baked us some cookies to show us she knows exactly what's on our minds, and also that she enjoys knowing it. We hope she inspires you to cook up such beauty in your own life. More... |

The season of joyWe often hear and the joy of Christmas. But real joy is one of the greatest achievements possible, and one of the rarest. Not only does it take a huge effort on our part in order to get that which brings us joy, but the universe must allow us the good fortune, the time, the health and the circumstances in order for us to be able to enjoy what we accomplish or possess so richly. Mary has achieved it in this gallery by new BiM shooter Israphil Zinatullin. And it's a wonder to behold. Join us as Mary discovers the thrill of being a beautiful free woman in a world so often set against joy, freedom, and beauty. Mary affords us the rarest sight in the world - that of a truly happy human being. More... |

Father strangles daughter to death for not wearing hijabDecember 12, 2007 - A 16 year old muslim Canadian girl was strangled to death by her father for refusing to wear hijab. It's a hatred so intense that father's will kill their own daughters, and so common that no one will dare admit it exists for fear of being implicated: it's hatred of female beauty. | ||

Chocolate and caramelWomen as beautiful as Klaudia rarely pose nude. They pursue careers in fashion modeling or acting or else they look for a rich rock star to marry and have kids. But Klaudia is different. She is not only chocolate, but caramel as well. She's a woman who wants what SHE wants, and she uses her beauty to live life the way she pleases. We admire that immensely. The combination of her unmatched physical beauty blended smoothly with her happy willingness to let us admire every inch of her is one of life's unbeatable, rare pleasures. More...

Beauty, love, sex and romanceSex-starved, beauty-hating lesbians and guys who think with their dicks often accuse us at Body in Mind of promoting beauty only because we feel guilty about sex. Nothing could be further from the truth. We love sex. But we love beauty more. Beauty-haters hate beauty because beauty is the result of the human mind, and they hate the human mind. Reproduction is the result of hormones, genitals, and sexual urges. Animals do that. But sex, love, romance, and marriage are the result of thinking. It's exclusive to humans. And so is the beauty of a nude woman like Linda. More... Sample | More Linda | Join | Permalink |

Nikkala's SecretWe've been huge fans of Victoria's Secret forever. Some of the most beautiful models in the world have walked through their pages wearing only the barest of frills. But even as perfectly beautiful as Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour, Adriana Lima, and Petra Nemcova are, we have always harboured our own secret desire to see them casually drop that bra or let that teddy slip while maintaining their cool, aloof, beauty. To this day it's never happened. But it's our great pride and joy here at BiM to be able to work with a model every bit as stunning as the greatest supermodels, and who is willing to reveal her secrets to us as she lounges placidly in lingerie, posing both hautily and intimately in an airy pool of beauty that only she can create. A woman who is aware of her secret power over men - and is not afraid to use it: the ravishing Nikkala Stott. More... |

Saudi rape victim faces 200 lashes for telling her storyNov 16, 2007 - A 19 year old victim of a gang rape in Saudi Arabia was sentenced to receive 90 whip lashes for "being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape" - and then sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail for telling the news media her story. We're sickened by the spectacle of this incredibly courageous young woman being forced to endure what will likely amount to a public execution for it. Raped for being beautiful; killed for being brave. This is hatred of beauty on a country-wide scale, and we can think of nothing uglier. Voice your protest at Amnesty International here. | ||

Full living colourDeirdre frolicking happily in the colours of autumn makes us wonder about the people who prefer black & white photos over colour ones, or simple nudes over super nudes. They are the same people who claim nothing in life is black & white. They've been taught such contradictory nonsense all their lives by schools, their parents, and their cultures that they've given up on thinking altogether. "Why think if it only gets you into trouble?" they say. But to conclude that the world doesn't make sense just because you've stopped trying to understand it borders on mental illness. Black and white photography and simple nudes appeal to such people because they attempt to eliminate the big confusing world. Black and white photos and simple nudes reduce the elements in a photo, while a colour photo or super nude allows the whole world in, in all its riotous complexity. The black and white photographer is a technician concerned only with how to shoot something. But a colour photographer is an artist, concerned primarily with what to shoot. We at Body in Mind have not given up on thinking, creativity, or the world in full living color. More... Sample | More Deirdre | Join | Permalink |

Stealing BeautyA big record company recently successfully sued a woman for $222,000 for downloading bootleg copies of songs. Expensive and often unsuccessful lawsuits have become cheaper than allowing theft to continue unopposed. The same is true for stealing zips of paysite photosets and illegally posting them on public forums. Many people who download illegally posted zips think it doesn't cost anything. They also think it's immoral for paysites to make money from female beauty. But the reality is that posting zips on forums actually makes money for the forum owners who sell traffic and advertising. Meanwhile Body in Mind uses the money we make to pay photographers, models, webmasters, etc, and to keep advertising OFF our site. In fact, illegal sharing is costing us so much that we're now offering free memberships to anyone who reports illegal forum posts of our stuff. It's a chance to get free photos AND help us make more. And if anyone wants to post our content can become an honest to goodness affiliate here. More... Sample | More Klaudia | Join | Permalink |

Should women be forced to wear clothes?On 6-Oct-07, at 4:19 AM, Anurag wrote: Dear Dwayne, maybe I think women are forced to cover-up is because it makes them look more civilised. Women are made to be wear clothes because they have feelings and emotions, thats why. Horses and dogs look beautiful as well but what separates us from them is because we wear clothes since we are advanced creatures. So, forcing women to cover-up might make them look more technologically, morally, and mentally advanced beings. This would place them in a higher pedestal of respect then man or anyone else. I was told by one professor on culture and morally in a newspaper from Oxford and my dad. Do you think on what they said was right? I still don't clearly agree with this. Do you agree with them? Please tell me. Dear Aurag, No I don't agree with them. Have you seen women in full burqa? Do they look human or advanced to you? More... |

Here I am!There are over six billion people on earth, and only one you. But can you name one thing that you have that others - millions of others - don't? Take your time. Anything? Anything unique? The reality is, there are almost NO individuals among us. Yet it's precisely what's unique about us that makes us us. Without something to set us apart from others we have no real identity. That's why we love this set of Linda. She knows it's her beauty that makes her unique, that gives her her identity, which means: her value, and she feels the rush of confidence and joy that comes with it. It's what gives her the power to face the world naked and say "Here I am!" If you wish to feel this kind of confidence and joy in life, then don't let yourself disappear in the herd. Be yourself. Be brave. But most of all, be unique. Sample | |
