SINSULL - I didn't ignore your mastitis thread - I even suggested that you should submit a set of photos to Pene.

I think that what amused many of us over here in the UK (especially Linda) was the fuss that's being made across the atlantic, because a breast was bared on television when children might have been watching. Perhaps the nipple ornament might have seemed a bit kinky (where can I buy one like that for Linda ?), but surely most children have seen or know about female breasts - after all for a long while the US has been thought to have rather a fetish about boobs. OK they usually try to make sure that the nipple's just about covered in most cases, but I'm sure that most kids are quite capable of realising that if they have nipples themselves, so do other people.

Omigod - just think about the effect that a bare nipple could have on a tiny baby - would the tot be traumatised for life ?

One of my favourite stories comes from a friend of mine who bought a strapless evening dress to go to a posh dinner with her husband. The next day her six year old daughter told her friends "Mummy looked ever so pretty in her beautiful new dress - it was so low you could nearly see her nibbles !".
