MInTheGap: It’s a nice jacket and slacks combination, but I’m not sure what that pose says. I mean, the pose and the fact that one part of his spiky hair is sticking straight up distracts me. I’d prefer one of the other shots he has where he’s standing up.

Foy: I’m not a girl, so I have a hard time judging male modesty. But I’d wonder about the open shirt near the top. Other than that and the hair, it seems fine.

Hannah: Where to start….first of all I don’t think strapless is an attractive style and though there can be more modest versions of it, this is not one of them. Too much is showing in the way it curves down at the top and has lots of beadwork running across. It all combines to attract attention and reveal too much. I also believe that her body posture and facial expression are seductive and immodest.

Foy: I have to agree with you on all fronts. Especially the front, where it is a bit too low. I’d be interested to see how the back is, but from the curves of the dress, it appears to be quite low as well.

MInTheGap: Although the pose here is strange, the outfit does not seem to be immodest. The green top more than covers and it is not tight (notice the bagginess on the arms) and it is vibrant in color.

Foy: It is a very strange pose. Bending over is a very difficult thing to do modestly – if you bend at the waist, the chest “hangs”, and is an extreme viewing temptation for almost all men. If you need to pick something up, scrunch up your knees and scooch – don’t bend at the waist.

Regarding the clothes: very modest! Get’s a five from me!

MInTheGap: This pose is doing a lot to this photo. For one thing, I believe it’s helping to exaggerate the tightness of the pants. the shirt layers seem fine. I’m going with mostly immodest because of the tightness.

Miss Jocelyn: Pants are way too tight… are they tights? Shirt is too tight and you can see cleavage at the neckline. I would not call this a modest outfit and draws attention to her all together.

Foy: Just want to chime in here. Those look like riding pants to me – Horse riding pants (my sister is has ridden horses her entire life, so I know this stuff). Boots hint at it as well.

Kristin: Here’s an example of having (almost) no skin showing and still looking pretty immodest. The tummy showing is an obvious problem and the pants are VERY low. A much longer (and a bit more loose) shirt and a less sensual pose would help her out. I’m going with Slightly Immodest leaning toward Immodest.

MInTheGap: Turtlenecks have a way of being clingy, showing everything– even if it is black. Showing the midriff to me says that your shirt it too short. The pose is also a problem. I’m going borderline only because I believe with a better pose and pulling down this shirt you could save the look– or just buy a good sweater!

Kristin: Ugh. I’m torn on this one…the outfit looks fairly modest, but this is obviously a very sensual pose. I do like that she’s using a pretty necklace to draw the eye up. I’m going with Borderline purely because of the pose.

MInTheGap: The shirt is modest, the neckline’s fine, but it’s weird that she has her eyes closed. I’m going mostly modest– modest when she opens her eyes!

MInTheGap: V-Necks draw attention to the chest, and even when there’s an insert like here (and this is a low insert), my eyes are still drawn to the dark vertical lines. I’m going borderline here, because I’m technically not seeing anything (though that may be different if she lowers her arms), but the V is distracting.

Foy: I’m going more on the immodest side of borderline, for the same reasons.

MInTheGap: A classic pose, for sure, though it’s a side view and they’re hard to judge. The straps look small, and the skirt falls just above the knee, so I wouldn’t say this is immodest, but it almost gets that ranking.

Foy: Ya…I think the skirt is a little on the high side. The lifting of the leg makes it appear slightly lower than it is.

MInTheGap: What this girl is wearing is entirely modest from what I can tell– though the shirt is a little tight (but that could be because of the position). However, the pose is a little suggestive. Mostly Modest.

Foy: If she were standing up, I would say that it is modest. The pose, as M said, is what changes it for me, as it suggests an encounter of some sort. The slight tightness of the shirt, plus the positioning of the words on her shirt, multiplies the effect. A 3 – 3.5 on the scale.

There’s been some discussion as to whether photos of ladies laying down are appropriate– so I figured that we should probably feature a few to take a look, and see if we can figure out why some people believe they are not– and what better avenue than Quick Reviews!

Oh, and this is my first attempt to use our Flickr Group and to blog from there, so bear with me…

MInTheGap: What you need to notice about this photo is what happens when the girl lifts up her head and what’s shown. Though I don’t think this is immodest, it can all hinge on how high the top goes.

Foy: I agree with you. Her hair is in a somewhat strategic place, so its a bit hard to determine how much you could see. But if I were standing directly in front of her, I would consider it immodest – due more to what you *might* see, than what is seen. Does that make any sense?

Erin: I think the pants are too snug through the thigh, but other than that it’s nice! Immodest pose though…

MInTheGap: Good color choices, neat purse.  Mostly modest because of the pose, but everything’s covered.
