![]() ![]() But now almost every person has taken some sort of a naked selfie and sent it to their significant other. I feel like back in 2001, if we had naked pictures online, it was a different sort of perception. I think it's a different time than when we started the site. We've had hundred of thousands of members. People did not want to share themselves, and especially not around boobs. People at the time thought I was insane and a) that tattooed girls and nude images would never be popular in any way, shape, or form, and b) that people would not want to see boobies and keep journals about their lives, those things did not mix. It gave them a way they could express themselves and their own work, and created a community around it. I put the photos up online, and gave each of the girls blogs, which, in 2001, was not something that anybody had. I wanted to show how they felt sexy about themselves. So I started taking pictures of them in the same vein as Bunny Yeager did Bettie Page. In 2001, girls with tattoos and piercings and such were not celebrated anywhere as being beautiful, so I wanted to take pictures of them feeling sexy and beautiful and proud of themselves, showcasing their artwork and their bodies and lives. I thought women came in a much larger range of beauty than just those two, and I thought my friends were some of the most beautiful girls in the world. Back in 2001, there were really only two types of women celebrated as being beautiful: either a stick-thin waif blonde supermodel like Kate Moss, or the silicone-enhanced blonde, like Pam Anderson. ![]()
