Nudes are always a very personal choice -- I'm not surprised that what I
find appealing doesn't work for other guys.
Personally, I couldn't get past the fake boobs on Michelle, but that's
my thing. The girl in "Glow" just fits my personal idea of natural
beauty more than some of the others. And given a choice between a black
and white or color shot of the same model, I gravitate towards the B&W nude.
