(no sex please, we're British)!!!
Has anyone actually thought of Orlaith's profession? SHE IS A MODEL, getting naked is normal in front of people.
Take a dancer or entertainer from a show in the West End or where I used to work - a cruise ship - they would be exactly the same cause of the nature of the business. There is no room for prudeness or naivity. She wants a shower she gets undressed, she gets changed in the bedroom, if BB decide to show her getting undressed so be it. I am sure if she was on the beach sun bathing she would be topless - which does also happen in the UK and is not illegal.
I don;t think this is her trying to get votes cause she is naked. To her this is normal and not a problem, she is obvioudly comfortable with her body, she doesn;t decide what BB show and don't show.”
As an Orlaith fan... sorry I must disagree.... she is doing it on purpose... but not to elicit votes... regardless of her detractors... she is fully aware that a women of her profession and physical make-up stands little chance of winning BB... she does because she wants to show off, something she's proud off... which I neither condone or agree with ... she spenty a lot of money on them... used to be an 'A' cup, and is proud of the "assets" she worked hard to accumulate the cash to purchase.
On the other hand (flippity-flop) I completely agree with you re: the anal reaction to female nudity on "mainstream" TV showsin the UK... one has only got to look at the limited outrage to even Ahmed's nudity in BB5.
My last girlfriend was a lap-dancer and her colleagues, as well as herself were just as casual about the upper body nudity as Orlaith... but would still be more conservative with people they didn't know.
Saying all that... the negative reaction to Orlaith targetted at her obsession with exposing her breats is laughable in the context of Max, Saskia, Anthony and Makosi's sexual (and not nude) behaviour... and as a "new good looking female HM" I think she has done exceptionally well.
