these are very nice photos. clearly they were done at the very beginning of her career. and I know basically all models do nude photo shoots, but I can't figure out how yasmeen went from being so shy that she wouldn't even take school pictures of her face, to be comfortable enough to take naked pictures of her body within a year. quite the enigma .

http://gma.yahoo.com...and-beauty.html in the article posted here, kylie bisutti had some bad things to say about modeling for Victoria's secret. I wonder if the same things that she claimed happened also happened to Yasmeen in her career, or even at Victoria's secret. she always said that Victoria's secret was one of her favorite places to work. but who knows.

yasmeen never seemed to be the type that would do cosmetic surgery just for modeling. in fact, I would be shocked if that actually happened.

Did she really do that much topless? There's one where she's in shadow; it's a little hard to see that it's her. There's a nipple popup runway appearance, early career. There's another runway appearance where her entire left breast is exposed, but it's always looked airbrushed and fake to me. That's it, AFAIK. There's the usual nippage, there's the infamous mesh top, there's some covered topless, but that's not topless to me. In my definition, "topless" means there is an unobstructed path through the air from camera lens to nipple, and there's enough light to see it. By that definition, she doesn't have anything like the topless oeuvre of Cindy or Christy, say.

I noticed that pretty much all of Yasmeen's nude or topless photos were done earlier in her career, instead of later on. Does anyone have any insight as to why this is?

Why did Yasmeen do SI only once? She might have been in the calendar the next year, but not the mag; that I know for sure. Did they not want to, or did she not want to?

I imagine she was - it would have made the filming easier. I think the issue here was not so much the semi-nudity, as the extreme sexiness of it - her licking his pecs, for example. Really, if this commercial had appeared as part of a movie, all that might have been sufficient to give it an R rating in the States! PG-13, at the very, very least. I first saw it on TV - in Canada, I think; hard to imagine it being shown in the US at the time. It felt so much more deliriously transgressive on the medium-sized screen of a TV, than it does on the tiny screen of YouTube. Or maybe those were different times... If it's any consolation to you, that guy was probably gay. At least that's what I always told myself to calm my jealousy.

No, he can't have been, and her only 18 at the time too! But she went on to do much worse, like her "mmmfamous" (to coin a term) Vendetta commercial. It's hard not to think that her hotness was in some ways a reaction to her puritanical upbringing. I'd say "to", rather than "against"...

around '97 i believe

She's married and has two children. Last I heard, she lives in New York state. I think she lives in the same town where Martha Stewart lives. Last year, Yasmeen was photographed at a social event held at the home of Martha. i believe this guy is her husband, yes?

Those pictures were taken years ago, I remember seeing them in the late 90's. She has done a mess of nudes over the years both candids and editorials. Don't feel bad posting them but post more. i agree, he shouldn't feel bad at all. i saw those pics over 10 years ago on the net. i just wonder if she would be embarrassed knowing that her neighbors and children's friends can see her boobies anytime they want. she's certainly done a lot of "nude but covered" pics, but that's not really embarrassing. i did see one black and white one where she was topless and it wasn't a candid. it might be a fake, but i doubt it. i do find it strange that she would go topless just that one time though. i don't know anyone else who has ever done that.

Sometimes it seems like a model posing topless will have the pic in shadow, or cover part of her face, etc. Almost as if it to preserve deniability (not that it would). Or "I'll show you this, but I won't show you all of me". Cindy did some shots like that. I think maybe in Yasmeen's case not doing (much) topless was her one concession to her very puritanical Muslim Imam daddy. The poor guy, LOL. As far as the Valentino commercial goes, I don't think it showed any nipplage, did it? It was just outrageous in every other way. no, the ad didn't show any nipplage, but the part where she is on all fours and the male model is sort of licking up her spine, you can definitely see all of her back. of course you can't see any of her front, but i wonder if she was totally topless there, or if she was wearing pasties or something on the front so that even the camera crew and others wouldn't see her front either. she's not an actress, and again, i've never seen her do anything close to this before. just makes me curious of the psychology of doing these sort of things one time and one time only.
