To not understand why women do this?

Why do alot of pregnant women feel the need to take pictures of their bump in their underwear? Or just in their pants holding their boobs with one arm? I don't get it! You can still see the bump if you are wearing trousers. I am pregnant myself, with my third and have never felt the need to do it so I just don't get why some women do it and then put them on the web for any tom dick and harry to look at?

I have boudoir shots on mine, sorry! I use my personal profile for photography/modelling stuff. People don't like it I can restrict their viewing or they can unfollow

Don't apologise to me - apologise to the people who are faced with you in your knickers for no good reason Grin

Why do you use FB for professional purposes? Confused

hollinhurst84 · 23/01/2016 12:00

Easy way to connect and 99% of the industry does. It's a great photo sharing, plus in a lot of groups, events can be arranged etc etc
Maybe boudoir is the wrong word. It's less lying across a bed and more not arty... I can't think of the word. I don't tend to do typical boudoir stuff
Underwear is the same as a pic of me wearing a bikini on the beach

SirChenjin · 24/01/2016 10:22

Yeah, sounds like boudoir is the wrong word.

What the heck are "post detox pants" (shudders). Shock

MayFayner · 24/01/2016 10:38

absolutely Grin

I read it as a photo taken in pants, post-detox.

absolutelynotfabulous · 24/01/2016 12:19

Thanks May.

Phew! I thought "post detox pants" may be something quite different. And rather horrible, involving bodily waste, before and after "detox". Shock.

hollinhurst84 · 24/01/2016 12:36

And after posting in this thread yesterday, I got booked for a boudoir shoot Grin
Karma?!

absolutelynotfabulous · 24/01/2016 13:06

I think I must be in a parallel universe sometimes....a boudoir shoot?

Is this a "thing" now?

hollinhurst84 · 24/01/2016 13:17

Sort of. Well photographer has used that as description. It's a set with a roll top bath, bed etc

absolutelynotfabulous · 24/01/2016 13:25

So a modelling thing then? (nosy)

hollinhurst84 · 24/01/2016 13:27

Yes Smile exactly (I'm nosy too) Grin

absolutelynotfabulous · 24/01/2016 13:32

Is there a bump involved (nosier still)..

hollinhurst84 · 24/01/2016 13:33

Haha no, most definitely not! Unless you count flabby bits

Shirkingfromhome · 24/01/2016 14:08

Having boudoir shots on Facebook for work and bookings is one thing. Marjorie from number 84 having a one off photo shoot and plastering them all over Facebook is another. Self-confidence, great; oversharing, not so!

SirChenjin · 24/01/2016 14:15

Agree Shirking. If posing in your knickers for a job floats your boat then fine - but for the love of all gods, please don't inflict them on your friends and relatives on your general FB account. There is such a thing as over-sharing, and that counts as such.

hollinhurst84 · 24/01/2016 14:32

No relatives on there. Friends who like seeing shoot pics so no issues there, they tend to get the most comments out of all my pics

SirChenjin · 24/01/2016 14:36
Grin

Different strokes and all that, I guess.

hollinhurst84 · 24/01/2016 14:41

There's not many underwear pics to be fair, a lot of dresses/fashion/head shots
When I do post an underwear pic everyone bloody comments!
More this kind of stuff, a bit more edgy
