Look guys you may be reading too much into this. When my daughter was a Goth, she had her passport photo taken wearing a corset and a dog collar. On the photo only the dog collar showed and for the next 7 years, she had to put up with her passport being handed round for everyon (and I mean the bored guys on the gate) to laugh at. Thing is - she had stopped being a Goth about 2 years later!!

Mine still gets handed around and laughed at(leather bra top,fishnet T shirt and half a ton of black eyeliner) I think the difference is that in this case there were no clothes and she was using that as a sales pitch

Well I think inb this case it is not HOW the pic was taken (whether she is wearing a top or not) but that the picture IS definitly made to look as if she is naked! Plus look at her face..... Is that how they want to sell?

honestly? it's awful!

It's all a bit sad and hopeless, isn't it? Poor girl. Posing nude (or at least, giving the appearance of nudity) in order to sell that rubbish?

it's not necessary!

I think I am more than a little sad that I cannot see the hot mess you're all talking about!

WHOA!!!

I take it back! I searched out the item and found THE NEW URL for the item.

What I find interesting about it? A friend in my program is writing her dissertation in young girls being sexualized like this...
