Page 3 Girls
Page 3, or Page Three, was a British newspaper convention of publishing a large image of a topless female glamour model (known as a Page 3 girl) on the third page of mainstream red-top tabloids. '' The Sun'' introduced the feature, publishing its first topless Page 3 image on 17 November 1970. ''The Sun''s sales doubled over the following year, and Page 3 is partly credited with making ''The Sun'' the UK's bestselling newspaper by 1978. In response, competing tabloids including the ''Daily Mirror'', the ''Sunday People'', and the ''Daily Star'' also began featuring topless models on their own third pages. Notable Page 3 models included Linda Lusardi, Samantha Fox, and Katie Price. Attitudes toward Page 3 varied widely.

Topless
Toplessness refers to the state in which a woman's breasts, including her areolas and nipples, are exposed, especially in a public place or in a visual medium. The male equivalent is barechestedness, also commonly called shirtlessness. Exposed breasts were and are normal in many indigenous societies. However, western countries have social norms around female modesty, often enforced by legal statutes, that require women to cover their breasts in public. In many jurisdictions, women who expose their breasts can be prosecuted for indecent exposure, although public breastfeeding is often exempted from public indecency laws. Social norms around toplessness vary by context and location. Throughout history, women's breasts have been featured in art and visual media, from painting and sculpture to film and photography, and such representations are generally defended on the grounds of artistic merit. Toplessness may also be deemed acceptable on educational, medical, or political gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
