Becks Blue Fan Photos

Those pictures were taken by a photographer friend during an photo shoot which was under the sign of: 'Let's push the envelope'.

Isn't it weird that as soon as we are on a beach in a bikini we don't mind having our photo taken; well, or at least we find it inappropriate to complain as we are showing off our assets voluntarily, but as soon as we take off the blouse in our home and having a photo taken, it becomes rather awkward.

Given that I am planning to enter a bodybuilding competition in summer 2011 for the first time in my life and that I then will have to perform in less than a standard bikini, on a stage, in front of people I don't know, I just had to grab the opportunity of this shoot and try myself.

During a break my friend just kept shooting (BTW: that the label is to the front happened absolutely accidentally, we were just kidding around), so those pictures are not perfect but I quite like them - and well, I like the beer anyway, so I don't mind advertising it.

It now turns out though, that having the pictures taken only was one part of the whole game. The much bigger question is: What will happen if I publish?

I have bikinis of less fabric than this bra... but it is clearly a bra... hmmm?!?

On the other hand... what is the best - or the worst to happen? People might like or not like it, my employer might ask me to take them off the internet - rather unlikely, though - somebody might really like it and give me a job as a model... dream on girl!

So it is now decided that the world might see my bra... and me in it! And drive safely! The beer is almost alcohol free (0.05%), BTW!

  2. These pix are, by their very nature, as much about your own personal exploration of identity as any thing else.
    Therefore "go for it"!

  7. Thanks for the lovely comments! Being a model beginner they are very much appreciated and inspiring.
    BTW: I did send the link to Becks but didn't hear back. Guess bra pics are not along their line of profile ;o)

  8. Great product Beck's Blue with a great potential. Maybe you should become an ambassador for the product, it's target is women. Interesting that the Spanish drink zero alcohol beers (Sin Alcohol) with no problem yet we Brits have an issue with it because some how we think drinking alcohol is hard and grown up. Yet that's actually an immature attitude. I predict that Beck's Blue will become a cool drink drink by empowered women who don't care about image because they have a mind of their own
