I know that in every model’s career there will come a time when someone requests that she pose nude for a shoot. There was an old episode of America’s Top Model where one of the models had objected to posing nude and I applauded her for standing up for her values. I would’ve done the same thing. For me, my body is a sacred temple and if I'm going to be a fashion model, I should be modeling fashion, not my "birthday suit".
With that said, would you pose nude for Marc Jacobs if it was for charity? Vogue UK has a little news blurb that says that Carolyn Murphy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Selma Blair are going to pose nude for the designer. The pictures will appear on t-shirts that will be auctioned off after Jacobs’ show next month. The money will go to help the New York University School of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group campaign to educate people on skin cancer.
Would I do it? The answer is still no. How about you? For more thoughts on this, check out this article, Models Reflect on Posing Nude
I'm with you. I definitely wouldn't do it.
