So if you don't know the story then this is how it goes Sydney Spies (cool name right?) submitted a picture to be her senior yearbook picture and, after being approved by the yearbook staff, administration intervenes and says its too racy. So she submits another picture which is apparently also too racy? Those are just the basics in a nutshell but here is : The Full Story

Basically here's my problem, i see nothing wrong with either of these pictures i mean really i don't see boobs, or any other private parts hanging out right? I mean everything that needs to stay covered is covered and if she feels that this is the way to express her errmmm....personality? then she has a right too regardless of how it makes other people feel. I mean come on its not like shes a minor the girls 18 and about to be a high school graduate.
I think this is just another case of censorship. I mean look at my high school yearbook, they did something similar to me by editing a picture to erase my nickname a (harmless nickname may i add)because?? There was no good , legitimate, acceptable answer other then they didn't like it.
I mean really if self expression isn't truly wanted then the school might as well throw everyone in a freakin P.E. shirt take identical pictures and call it a day, but that wouldn't sit well with everyone now would it?
SO if we are given a choice to express ourselves then gosh darn it just leave it be , even if it means it makes others uncomfortable because guess what darling? That is what art is supposed to do.
How do you feel about these pictures? Appropriate or not? Leave your comments below and let me know what you're thinking.
Until Next Time
