Hate to do this since that's a decent photo, Namarie, but that isn't really a headshot nor is the focus your face so it's not compliant with the rules. If possible, please submit another entry.

That's a little harsh, isn't it? This picture is clear enough and large enough that if you really wanted to, you could just crop it to the top portion and have a good-quality headshot, and she's looking straight at the camera. She's actually showing more of her face than bohemianfey did, and you didn't DQ bohemianfey's entry. Perhaps you should just revise the OP to say "headshots only, rest of body not allowed."

Bohemianfey's picture is still a face shot though, it's central focus is the face.

Look, guys, I'm just trying to be a good contest host here. The rules post before were agreed on ahead of time and not just by me, and I'd be pretty lousy if I didn't bother to at least try and make calls based on the agreed upon rules of the thread.

But since it appears to be the general concensus that rule number one is too strict, how about a revision of the first rule to.
"All entries must have the face of the contestant clearly visible and feature prominently within the photograph."

Is that better?

Yes revise the rules as it is you are not allowed to post a picture that shows the body....

That said, anyone want to try to out do Namarie's risque pic? :P

(1) This is for headshots. Contestants may have as much or as little of the rest of their bodies as they want, but all contestants entries must have their faces clearly visible and be the central focus of the entry.
Namarie's risque pic fits the rules. Her face is present, clear and facing the camera and that is what counts. But rule number one also states that the contestant can have as much or as little of the rest of their bodies shown in the picture. Namarie excersized that option. Clearly she didn't break the rules.

But a clarification is indeed in order.

I think the rule should be:

"ANY PICTURE THAT SHOWS A GIRL WEARING PANTIES THAT HAVE 'HOT' WRITTEN ON THEM WILL BE PERMITTED, AND ENCOURAGED"

I motion that we allow the picture to stand on the floor, gentlemen. All in favor say "Aye!"
