I received an FM from a bride asking if i were naked in my avatar picture and had just a yellow towel covering my 'area'.

aside from being a bit embarrased, now thinking that everyone thinks that....i keep relooking at my pic and wondering. We were at a wedding..i was wearing a strapless yellow dress from ann taylor.

If the pic looks inappropriate please tell me and i'll take it down. I just need reassurance. I am the LAST person to post a 'naked' pic, i thought it looked like an obvious wedding pic.

:(

I'm just amazed that someone has that little going on in her life to actually send an FM criticizing your avatar!!!!!!

You don't look naked by the way.

I think i am way too sensitive. The person who fm'ed me didn't mean any harm (after receiving a very nice second fm from her) and i think i just took it the wrong way.

I'm keeping the pic, i now think the situation is really funny....and when i look at the pic know i can totally see how the girls shoulder looks like my bare hoo-has!!! LOL!

less than 2 weeks to go..think wedding stress has hit home???

oh mo, this is hysterical!

it is obvious that that's a girl's shoulder in front of you--you can see part of her face!

i don't think it looks like a bikini at all--why would john be in a shirt and tie and you in a bikini

thanks for the wakeup laugh!

with just a quick look you can see something is blocking you. Don't worry about it!

i thought it was a bikini too and to be honest i still cant see the girl in front of you...i think i am blind but dont worry about anyone else...keep it if you want

It took me 5 times going back to the picture to see the other girl but now that I did it's very obvious that someone is just standing in front of you. The pic looks fine!!!

When I first looked at it, I thought your stomach was bare. After someone mention the girls shoulder in front of you, it was obvious that it wasn't. Now looking at it, I see you with a shoulder in front of you. Don't worry about it! You look great

I think the girls that is right in front of you, her bare shoulder looks like it is your bare bosom. I had to do a double take! But no, I do not think you look naked!

I didn't even notice the girl in front until you said it!! i was trying to figure out the yellow dress too for a while...good eyes!!

Honestly? Just the way the pic is - it looks like a bikini top to me!

Thought the same thing too, but no not naked!!

Oh it's like one of those little optical illusion picture things where you see a vase but if you look at it for a long time you can see an old womans face... I had to look at it a long time before I saw a person standing in front of you................ BUT even though I didn't see it right away, I certainly didn't think you were naked!

You are fine-at first it did look like you were wearing a bathing suit, but honestly NOT NAKED!!!
Once you look at it you can see that it is the girl standing in front of you covering you up

I think the picture is fine. People use to make comments about mine, but its still there. LI Weddings saw NOTHING wrong with it! Don't let what others tell you keep you down.

LOL..it really looks like the girls shoulder is your stomach and you are wearing a bandau top..it isn't inappropriate as much as it is unflattering...it took me a really long time to see it for what it was..but it is funny.
