Mapping the Body_______3

Drawing attention to the knees. Aided by fashion. 


The Hooker Boot - over the knee boots made famous by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Purpose to provide padding to hookers knees whilst pleasuring men.


Taylor Momsen as always looking like a tramp...sexy... dirty... or both?


Knee High Socks - heavily related to the obedient and 'innocent' school girl image. 



The knee seems to carry a 'femme fatal' image. Fashion helps to ruin the strong independent woman of the 21st centuary. Instead it shouts 'Hello Boys....Im here to serve'. 




Mapping the Body_______2

How do we view knees? ...Sexy? Seductive? Saucy?


I looked into female role models of the past and present and its ALL about the knees!!








The poses of these women are playful and suggestive. The knees are a focal point within the image. They act as a guard to their most intimate parts. Knees are therefore a tease ...a reminder that approval for admittance is required.
