Hey, Hiram, loved the thread! Thanks for the laugh (especially no. 23)! No, I was around when it was going on; I just chose to ignore that particular one. I found the whole concept of Stephanie to be a bit of a ripoff, truth be told, until Duane Moody explained why it was such a good idea. But it just gets so laughable some times. "It's art, really! I swear it is, honest!" Oh right, sure it is, and I'm appearing on the cover of GQ next month. I have no doubt that there are some really good nude studies out there (Hell, I have three in the my own gallery if anyone's interested, and that's not including the bait-and-switch thumbnail), and I have no question that erotica can't be art on occasion, but, as Hiram very wittily points out, let's not kid ourselves, gang. In fact, a little honesty on the subject might be breathtakingly welcome.
