Does my lot allow photos of photos or art with naked people in it?

I think I got a post deleted once because my friend was scantily clad in a photo I displayed of her. No naughty bits were actually showing, but you could tell she was wearing little more than a sneeze. On my trip to Paradise CA, my friends gave me their amusing 1908 constipation medicine ad that had been hanging in their bathroom for years. I love it, they were tired of it, so it was mine. It is now hung across from my bathroom reading place. I wanted to share the ad on MyLot, but realized that the woman in the photo is sans clothing, so I covered up her naughty bits (and even the nipple-less reflection thereof) with blue tape, the stuff I use to clamp down small guitar repairs. It comes off easily. Would this post be deleted if I left her in all her naked glory? Does it follow that Renoir's plump, rosy-cheeked artworks would not fly here either, unless properly "doctored"?

@thehorse I think I know what’s under the tape. If I’m wrong then I’ve a lot of re-thinking to do and a few questions for my granny.

@xFiacre Europe is a bit less "Puritanical" about body parts?

I assure you: her nipples are quite normal. And her nether bits are hidden by her pose. I wonder if my 9-year-old buddy will like it. He's in Europe now.

They are indeed. It took me fully three minutes to adjust to a "co-ed" (men and women/boys and girls) changing room at an indoor pool in Austria.

@MALUSE Funny. I actually am not particularly prudish. If the social norm was to change in front of others, I would simply do it.

I reckon I could do a post with picture of his David sculpture and see if it survives.

Hi Colin. I think those are not allowed unless they covered on those necessary parts.

Maybe some of the veteran MyLotters will check in on this one.

@TheHorse @JolietJake may know the answer. I mean {wink, wink}, he DID recently get promoted here to a moderator.

I think if it wasn't for the tape, I think it would be deleted.

I have since removed the tape, so I suppose my house is now PG rated.

Heh. I took the little bits of tape off today, but I don't think I'll bother photographing the photo. At least not right now. I bet @Owlwings or @JolietJake or @GoAskAlex would have the definitive answer.

Which? Posting photos of Renoir paintings and such like?

Good question. Based the TOS I'd say it wouldn't take much. As to Lori's reciting of the rules, there have been some PG rated movies that had girls in bathing suits—so, who knows. I would suspect things are evaluated on an individual basis.
