              What if Melyssa Ford had done a provocative photo
              like this in her heyday. What would the black
              communities’ reaction be to it? Would we say this is
              going too far and is in poor taste? Sometimes it
              feels like there are greater restrictions on the
              
commercially acceptable* sexual
              expression of black models, and the curvier and more
              innately sexy they are, the greater those
              restrictions. Just food for thought. Be interested to
              hear other’s opinions.
              
              
              * By this I mean sexual expression that is allowed
              mainstream acceptance, versus sexual expression that
              is limited to the internet and sites like Model
              Mayhem, but will never see the inside of a Barnes
              & Noble book store.
