The Price is Nackt

Guilty pleasure/confession time: I've been a fan of the actress Lindsay Price since she was on "All My Children" very briefly (and she was very young) back in the early 1990s. Then she was on "The Bold and the Beautiful" for awhile, did a lot of episodic television, landed on "Beverly Hills 90210" for a pretty good run (which I saw very little of), then tried to make it in prime-time; she was warm in "Coupling", but that faded fast; I had high hopes for "Lipstick Jungle", but that got canceled earlier this year; she will be in a new ABC show called "Eastwick" (loosely based on "The Witches of Eastwick") come fall.

Part of the reason I'm a fan is that she's just so gosh-darned pretty. See evidence provided below. She also has a vivacious acting style; she's easy to watch as any character. (And not just because she's pretty; she's got energies of all kinds).

Anyway, Internet being what it is, occasionally I check to see if there's new glamor or promo shots of Lindsay available. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that she'd fairly recently posed starkers. Which is to say, sans garments. Which is to say, as nature intended. The results were quite fetching and one could always wish for more, but there apparently isn't any more. Sigh.

Now, it's not exactly "safe", but you'd see more if she was wearing a very small bikini. It has always bothered me that when a starlet or model (of some fame) decides to go for all the glory and show all her glory, that sometimes they actually don't, and keep a couple things under cover. Now, we know what's under there and they're just very attractive milk conduits, ultimately; but our puritan society treats them SO special. They aren't anything out of the ordinary on most Euro beaches. So, my immodest advice, starlets and models, is that if you're really going to take it all off, then don't settle on these contrived poses that don't allow for a full appraisal. It detracts from the artistic verisimilitude. (Now, I know that the magazine she posed for, Esquire, probably required the modest rather than immodest pose. Well, Lindsay, there's still time.)

Nonetheless, as I said, the results are fetching. Be cautious if necessary.

There's actually two articles about her "first time", because it apparently was, for both Lindsay and the photographer. The first linked article features the fetching results.
