The Beautiful Kind

So this is my nipple. Is this small, pink button of flesh really such a big deal? Why can you see pretty much the entire globe of a breast and that’s OK, but the minute a nipple peeks out, that’s shocking? How come my brother could post a pic of himself topless on his blog and no one would think anything of it, but if I did it, that would be considered - GASP! - nudity?

Last night I saw this great documentary called Breasts.

The participants, most of whom appear topless, represent a wide range of age, size, race and background. They include an 11-year-old on the verge of puberty; a breast-feeding mother; a 24-year-old with a breast reduction; a stripper with implants; two women with mastectomies; a beautiful transsexual; a 49-year-old who is concerned about the safety of her silicone implants; a 420-pound comedian; and two mother-daughter pairs. Their candid thoughts are humorous, moving, and often surprising.

Yeah you should see it. So quit staring at my nipple and rent it.
