February 19, 201312 yr ... at the 00:16 mark, she looks like she's completely topless, but I wonder if she really was. Some directors will use paste-on bras for scenes like that. I have never seen any photos or anything where was she topless with someone else. Does anyone else think she was fully topless in this commercial?

I have never seen any photos or anything where was she topless with someone else. Does anyone else think she was fully topless in this commercial? 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.
February 22, 201312 yr LOL, AJG, you are the only one I know with such concerns! But if it really does bother you, Yasmeen has a number of runway shots and videos from which you may want to avert your eyes!

March 9, 201312 yr from "Sports Illustrated", february 1995 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?
March 10, 201312 yr She did do it one more time. I believe it was the one with Tyra Banks alone on the cover ('98ish?). It's actually one of the first pics you'll see in that issue. I posted the pic, photographed by Andre Rau. As far as her reasoning is concerned, who knows. Could have been a scheduling thing.
March 13, 201312 yr 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?

Does anyone have any insight as to why this is?From what I've seen, this is true not just of YG but lots of models. I think it has much to do with becoming established: once you achieve supermodel status, you have a lot more power to turn down jobs that you don't want to do, as compared to when a model is just starting out. Also don't need the money nearly as much after hitting that level, which is also a factor in what jobs are accepted.

Does anyone have any insight as to why this is?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.
