Public morality follows people's confidence and optimism in their wealth and
lifestyle," observes leading French academic Dr. Guy Fournier. "During
an economic downtown like the present one,
women are less inclined to let it all hang out and more likely to cover up."
Not between our covers ...
"It will be interesting to see what the global credit crunch does to our
clothes," wonders former Dynasty disrober Joan Collins {a six-time Sleuth
stripee}. 'Whenever countries enter a recession period, hemlines go down and
more ladylike clothes are fashionable again. And sunning this summer in St.
Tropez," Joan noted: "it looks as though many women are deciding to
cover up rather more than they used to. This is surprising because, after all,
it was the Riviera that started the topless wave."
Which has the French all up in arms: "It looks like going topless has gone
out of fashion," a jet set woman was recently heard to gasp along the Cote
d'Azur. "Men are whining everywhere you turn that there are no more bare
boobs on the beach!" So let them turn to our Shama SAND {baring more than
boobs on pages 8-11}.
Why even NudesWorthy 4's sweetheart Sandra Bullock recently did a "bare
bottom scene" at age 44 in the hit film The Proposal, and when asked if
she could be granted one wish, Sandy replied: "I'd get really, really large
breasts - really big knockers." Which the inspiration for another America's
Sweetheart, Julia Roberts, now regrets: "Breast implants made me feel a
lot sexier," says the real-life Erin Brockovich-whom jugged-up Julia
won her only Oscar portraying. "But now that I'm older," the 47-year-old
legal eagle expounds, "they are a pain in the ass. They don't make tops
for women my age that will accommodate 38DD."
So even though "the New Math" for starlets seems to increasingly define
Algebrassiere as: 36A + 1,0K = 36D ... some women feel it doesn't add up: "I
know only one girl who has a good tit job," snarks skinny supermodel Kate
Moss. "And most of them are so hard you can knock on them like a door.
I'm not into them."
Neither were the lovers of Exhibit A-B cup actress Tam Reid: "Guys
I was dating would be like, What's wrong with them? They look really bad,"'
Reid relates about her "Plastic Surgery Nightmare" that lasted 3 years,
starting in 2004. "I got my breasts done for the first time because they
were uneven. I was a 34B, but the right one was always bigger than the left.
I asked for big Bs, but the surgeon did not give me big Bs. He gave me Cs, and
I didn't want them. At all. Right after the surgery, I had some bumps along
the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, 'Don't worry, it's going to be
better.' Instead it started to get worse and worse."
Unlike Sleuth's unique "NudesWorthy" sextet of issues...which are
only getting better and better-in keeping with our original motto for
this timely series: "All The Nudes That Fit We Print!"
For as the lucky No. 7 selectee from our "25 Sexiest Women of 2009,"
Lucy Pinder, concluded: "Sex is what boobs are for isn't it? The two go
hand in hand."
Going DOUBLE for us, Sleuth
