thank goodness charlotte showed common sense and didn't shed her bikini top like her friends!!!! that's one photo i don't want to see flashed around the world. i know its accepted and no big deal in many places but she's showing decorum not giving them a chance to exploit her beautiful body (sigh i had a body like that in my 20's, gonna go have a good cry now sigh)
I read this post twice and I still can believe what I read. So, not wearing a bikini top means lack of decorum?????????? And we were talking about double standars for men and women!!! I can't see any of the boys in the pics wearing a top! Do you mean that what's normal for a man is a lack of decorum for a woman?
I don' t agree either about the "explotation" of charlotte's body. We've seen pics of Ernst and Andrea completely naked on magazines and at least in Spain also on tv, and nobody talked about explotation. Is it because they are men???
Also, we see quite often, specially in the summer a lot of pics of celebreties without their top (at least here in spain, I understand that in the usa it is less common) and they are not more exploted that the dozens of celebrities appearing in the same magazine with their tops on.
I only agree with you in one thing. Charlotte is very young and probably not completely at ease with her body (she's had many problems with her weight), and very probably she would love to shed her top like her friends, be confortable and enjoy the sun, but she knows the paparazzi would be watching and is a bit ashamed.
My counsel would be: tak off that bikini top, girl, once they got their picture the first time, they will loose interest in you, and you will be able to sunbathe as naked as you want!!!!
One more thing about the decorum issue: to me, a lack of decorum is allowing your boyfriend to grab your ass in front of other people or plead him "embrasse-moi" while you kiss him all over his bofy with pleading eyes in front of hundreds of people, certainly not exposing a healthy young body to the sun in the way you like!
