I am Nude......so what

I am Nude…..so what

That’s the message Marie Claire is trying to drive home. The campaign unofficially kicked off when pictures of Ntsiki Mazwai, poet, singer and activist were allegedly stolen and printed by the Sowetan. Marie Claire Editor applauded Mazwai’s bravery for going full frontal (unshaven punani and all). But those sentiments were not shared by the rest of South Africa who condemned both the picture and campaign calling it tasteless and ill informed. The list of SA royalty to follow in Mazwai’s suite are the Parlotones, Loyiso Bala, Mark Fish & wife and 5fm presenters Poppy Ntshongwana, Christina Knight and Erica Elle;
The negative publicity didn’t stop Marie Claire magazine from launching a second nude campaign aimed at raising awareness and fighting the HIV/AIDS virus. Amongst those who will pose naked are Miss SA Thuli Sithole, Bridgette Masinga, Kuli and Hlubi Mboya and many more. The pictures will later be auctioned and the money will go to AIDS orphans.

The aim of the campaign is to drive home the message that no matter what a woman may wear that doesn’t send an invitation to be raped and assaulted. The campaign is gaining momentum with the recent mini-skirts debacle that saw a young woman assaulted and humiliated at the Noord Taxi rank.

Now let me ask this…….

Will the campaign achieve anything other than sales for Marie Claire magazine? Free porn in every issue…..statement from news24 blogger

Can posing nude for a magazine be taken as taking a stand or just promoting mild pornography?

Would any TVSA blogger pose nude for the “right” cause?

With the increasing rate of women being raped daily in SA, will this campaign achieve its objective or make matters worse?

* Critics and suggestions are welcomed, first outing*

Marie Claire is going for the Playboy in Disguise route. that's all there's to it. a good thing for couples though: they dont have to buy two mags (i.e. Marie Claire for the wife/girlfriend and Playboy for the hubby/boyfriend) they'll share one...LOL...kidding

on a serious note I dont get the campaign...i really dont!!!! If its working for them, they MUST gp ahead.

Would any TVSA blogger pose nude for the “right” cause?....the only 'right' cause where i will pose nude is when my husband begs me too and only if his name is Taye Diggs...LOL...the pics will be for his private viewing ONLY...pity he's married...ahem!!!!!!!

Never, God said to me that my body was my temple, FINISH EN KLAAR!!!!!!!!!!!
There are other ways to campaign but not posing nude. It's such a fashion these days for celebrities to pose nude. What happened to people showing their bodies to the people they loved. I don't mind short skirts and revealing clothes but posing nude is just an insult. I believe Ntsiki is just an attention seeker. Really now!!!!!!!!!

yes...the following right causes:
i would never take a bath or shower clothed
i'd never have sex with my clothes on

any other reason NEAH!!!

i think it is a marketing gimmick. no more awareness will be achieved this way.

@ Username ... thanks for the article sister gal ... yazi izolo while i was watching 3-talk it crossed my mind to write an article about it . but from what i have heard i dont think poing naked will help ... these are our celebs and ppl will just enjoy seeing them naked and half of them wont even read what is their reson for posing naked ... the only think that i know can drop down the rape statistics ... WILL BE CUTTING THE TOTOLOZI for rapers ...Period!!!

i saw the picture circulating on e-mails and did understand IT cause its not the first time Marie Claire is doing this....Bridget posed naked last year but her picture was shot in style so even when she was naked it drove the point home unlike Ntsiki's one....i'm not saying people should be naked but this is a campaign, as campaigns have a slogan, theme etc to drive the point home but then again we have perverts who wouldn't get the point and the campaign is aimed at such people...

Thanks for the replies much appreciated........

my body is my body i am pro that but does that justify me exposing my bare necessities just to prove that point..the campaign for me is just tasteless and fails to invoke anything out of me than a thumbs down. its just to sell magazines.

the only 'right' cause where i will pose nude is when my husband begs me too and only if his name is Taye Diggs. LOL.

I also received the e mail last week some time,this was before I'd heard about the the whole campaign.The first thing I said when I saw it was: Oh my word she posed nude with an unshaved veegeee...and theeen I made a comment about nice and flat her tummy is,and then my male collegues also made comments about how nicely built she is,can you imagine gore how many others missed the point out there?

Ntsiki is not the only one who posed nude for this issue,but it seems we,darkies are making the loudest noise(I mean no offence to anyone),makes you wonder...We are all against the abuse of women,but we cannot walk around naked protesting violence against women and children,its too dangerous,especially while we have Noord taxi drivers who still have such embarassing thought!!

Nonny
18 Mar 2008 07:41

I applaud Ntsiki for her bravery...............BUT..................I really think that the Marie Claire SCRE#@D her up diliberately, coz with photography, nomatter how unappealing (lack of a better word) I mean nomatter how unappetising a person can be with the power of good photography, u can make them look decent and they failed to do that with Ntsiki's picture, it's like a diliberate mockery of her body was done, which is wrong and sad at the same time!!!!

My opinion: It will do something in opening some people's minds. Some people are soo stuck on this idea that african were born dressed from head to toe and that's how we should and if you choose to show the littleless of skin you are indescent.

I think it can actually help if people can remember that a few decades ago african never dressed in anything more that the animal skin...Amantombazana ayenxiba inkciyo and abakhwenkwe enxiba izibheshu...Now this thing of looking at people who are showing skin is very western actually and not african.

And I'ld do it if it was for a good cause like AIDS awareness and anti-RAPE campaigns.

I'm not too sure if it may reduce the rape stats....you have to think of it this way - its no mini-skirt that makes a father rape a 8 moth old baby in rompers (the baby jammies)...Its something in the fathers head (or something not there) its psychological.

18 Mar 2008 07:58

I feel you Nonny - the whole picture looks wrong. Its a wrong kind of nudity. Photographers could have made it look better - and she wouldnt have looked like that. I've seen naked pictures for causes but this just has a bitter taste.

Besides that black people dont support it, the media has made a mockery of it and the rapist have missed the point. Maybe she is trying to make a statement but i think it didnt come out right. Maybe all of those other celebrities' pics would have made a clear statement but now with Ntsiki's nudity all people are talking about is her and not the message. The whole campaign is now messed up!

i think Y4K you are missing the point....nudity is used to highlight the point as it connected to sex which connects to HIV(if a condom is not used)...also connects to rape for those with sick heards who cant control their penises when they see someone nude.... here is a quote from Robin Williams-"God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time."

"Besides that black people dont support it, the media has made a mockery of it and the rapist have missed the point."...........@ Spy, I am so with u right now, I feel what u are saying, Ntsiki's pic has really shifted the main focus of the message of the campainge and now it's all about her body and how it is not public viewing material. Tis sad, coz personally, I can't help feel sorry for her coz initially it was a good concept and now it has just so so so wrong!!!!

@ Dimago

She and Thandiswa Mazwai were suppose to pose nude but when the picture came out her family decided to “ban” Thandiswa from posing, due to the attention her sister’s picture was getting and they felt since Thandiswa had a child she should not be posing nude for magazines.

The Parlotones picture was shown ku Noleen and those guys are using props to cover up.

Marie Claire spokesperson said that it was Ntsiki Mazwai who decided against covering up and pose bare naked and they respected her will and strength to expose herself like that.

"mara even in music the best way to sell records is thru sex...guess its just a business strategy."
Yah man Fara, but sex is not everything, and sex sells only to a certain limit, that's why artists like Kelly Khumalo have decided to change their images and go for a more lady like look and do more corporate functions, becoz that whole sex sells image is not always the way to go. Though the sad part is that first impressions count!!!!

18 Mar 2008 08:32

I understand the campaign...but I also saw Ntsiki Mazwai's pic...tasteless and un-appealing......and I am straight!!

They tried to make her look good by re-touching the pic but still....the least they could have done was make sure that her un-shaven punani comes out classy. I'm sure technology can do that now adays! How else do people look good in pictures but ugly in real life? Hello??

this campaign has been running since last year but no one made a noise last year about Bridget and others....so what exactly is the issue here cause it seems like i'm missing the point....its just that Ntsiki's picture was not done with style like other people from last year cause they looked sexy to me and I UNDERSTOOD that nudity was used as a TOOL to highlight the message that we MEN should respect a woman's body , that it belongs to her and WE HAVE NO RIGHT to do as we please in the name of horniness if such a word exists.

Will I undress to support a cause?
Yes, if I thought that my nudity would somehow bring attention to that cause... however I am not convinced that nudity is a way to support a cause. Same way that I do not think that an advertisement in which a naked gorgeous man with a cellphone in the man would cause me to actually go out and buy that cell phone. In the end I would be able to describe you the man in detail but I would not even able to tell you the make and model of the cellphone.

Sex sell? No, not for me. I am a sexual being but I also consider myself an intelligent being and any company that uses sex to sell me a product underestimates my intelligence and for that reason I WILL NOT BUY THAT PRODUCT.

Same for causes.

The Marie Claire campaign failed in its mission. The focus is now on the nudity and not on the cause.

That is a great pity. All that celebrity influence and power could have been steered into a more positive direction and support for that cause.

What is the cause again? I can't remember. I do remember that the wife of the soccer player (Fish something), realized when she looked at the pictures, that she needs a boob job.

Some impact that the campaign had.

18 Mar 2008 09:08

@ Bra Bizza: I personally have no problem with the campaign...but I also saw Bridgette's nude pic last year and it looked 'decent'....

I have no problem with Ntsiki deciding that she wants to pose nude for a worthy cause...It's her right on this very democratic SA....What I don't understand is why the pic looks soooo horrible...All I'm saying is even if people look ugly...they can look better on pix...way better with the technology that we have actually.

Sometimes, if not most of the times, what you see on the pic is totally different to what you see in real life. Infact, that it how it is done, especially where people pose nude. Them magazines want to make sure that they sell whatever idea they are potraying by making it look as 'perfect' as posible.

Couldn't they have done the same with Ntsiki?? That is my question here. It is very clear that they re-touched the pic to make her look better...they could have re-touched it even more...so that it at least looks easy on the eye...

The photographer could have just played around with the pic a little bit...

There is nothing wrong about Ntsiki's body and her pic on Marie Claire (except for her falling titties) I think it's a beautiful picture and its not like her thingie is open like in porn mags. it is still tastefully done and we need to get over being hollier than thou attitude.

So yeah maybe they do buy Marie Claiire.............only when there is nudity, coz they wanna perve on the bodies!!!!!

I take offence to the above cause I bought the mag because of the campaign and that doesnt make me a rapist. I was not happy with the packaging though cause it felt like I was buying Playboy or something. Yes I would agree some people used it to perve but looking at the selection of peeps there wasnt anything worth perving on excepr for LB, that pic one could perve on.

Would any TVSA blogger pose nude for the “right” cause?....

Can posing nude for a magazine be taken as taking a stand or just promoting mild pornography? - Sports illustrated, FHM, MH have half naked to naked bodies every moth but it's allowed why cant marie claire do it for a good cause?

Would any TVSA blogger pose nude for the “right” cause? - if I was self concious about my weight I would there is nothing wrong with nudity I just thing it's overrated.

With the increasing rate of women being raped daily in SA, will this campaign achieve its objective or make matters worse? - It's unlikely it will make it worse or better people who rape dont just do it because of pornography and nudity they just have messed up brains they cant tell a difference between what is right and what is wrong.

I'm tired of all the stupid marketers in South Africa, kanti when they go to study marketing is 'sex, nudity and shock" the only thing they are taught at these marketing schools. No wonder there are so many 'fly by night marketing schools". This Marie Claire campaign is offensive to say the least, not only because of the nudity but just the lack of creativity and intelligence behind it. This campaign failed because marketers take us for dumbasses, they don't give a f*&^% about rape victims all they want is to sell magazines. Whether you buy the magazine to perve makes no difference to them, it's money in the bag for them.

I was not happy with the packaging though cause it felt like I was buying Playboy or something. Yes I would agree some people used it to perve but looking at the selection of peeps there wasnt anything worth perving on excepr for LB, that pic one could perve on."

Today Nonny replies - Tizoz, I don't understand why you take offence to the comment I made, becoz I was talking about rapist's, and since u say u are not a rapist, why would it offend u???? I said MAYBE and therefore that word states that I could possibly be wrong that in saying: "Maybe RAPISTS do buy Marie Claire to perve on the bodies." Coz remember Tizoz, a rapist is not always some shallow looking person, it can be anyone coz sometimes people aren't what they portray themselves to be!!!!! Now tell me, do u still take offence?????

The campaign might have not achieved its goals but look on the brighter side, Nontsikelelo really scored a whole lot of attention and publicity she might have not attracted if her photo was technologically enchanced to appeal to the masses as there would have been other girls that are more eyecandy than her. A whole lot of people did not know about Nontsikelelo before this and now the shift has moved from the whole campaign to Nontsikelelo, talk about shining a on Marie Claire's shine girl. She will go down on the history books as the chick that showed her pubic hair on a national magazine.

She knew exactly what she was doing knew that it would raise a whole lot of controvesy and definitely beauty to her is not defined by European standards. On the real though ikuku imbi noba igundiwe or ayigundwanga, ayibukeki nje qha, you cant be staring at it for more than a minute without thinking le nto imbi kodwa, Nontsikelelo nabo ezabo bazigundileyo azintlanga ukudlula eyakho relax sithandwa sam but okusalayo siyakwazi ngoku.

@Tizoz.....my issue is with the Ntsiki picture and the way it was taken. The campaign itself never attracted this much attention until her picture was published.

There are sick people out there who are even willing to go on national television saying that if a woman is wearing a mini-skirt she needs to be "helped". I would not want to hear what they thought of Ntsiki's picture or any picture of a naked woman pornography or for a good cause

what Ntsiki did was a very brave thing to do. but in the wrong country. the people in this country (just thinking about ootaxi driver base noord from last nite's 3rd degree) are not ready for such a stark bold statement. this sort of campaign apparently has been working in lots of more culturally advanced countries all over the world, eg brazil but lana really we still have a long way to go before our people can properly absorb the meaning of shock campaigning.

marie claire is a classy magazine and i don't think they're trying to encourage porn or anything of the sort. they're just misguided in thiinking like the other magazine editors of this world. i say big ups to them but they should hold off on the next nude campaign for at least another 5 yrs (hope that's long enough)

Can posing nude for a magazine be taken as taking a stand or just promoting mild pornography?

Whoever came with this idea is sick. I will never pose for any cause.

Y4K.... Y4K... Y$k.....

The aim of the campaign is to drive home the message that no matter what a woman may wear that doesn’t send an invitation to be raped and assaulted.

...Can we 4 once forgert about our TRIANGLE OF (WO)MAN HOOD and concentrate on a good cause.

"mawu'moshis'khathi

@ Sponono, this was one of my favourate songs as well, but my ultimate favourate, till today I still can't figure out, what exactly was he saying, but it goes something like:
"Bonakile bo kali kokotelelo
Igago, bayabuso o Nderrrr"
Someone plz tell what exactly was he saying *coz I know I never got it* and what does it mean????

@ Belz: No girl I am doing a research for my assignment, the assignment looks at how South africa contributes on Global warming, becuase of the the American market. I am trying to find out whether it is true to assume that "Africans know more about America than they know about Africa, hence they are more interested in American breed than our African. (breed: i.e. music, movies, clothes etc).
@ Tnyt: Was he HIV + too? Is that clear nuff?, am disappionted by ur statement, Zombo represented so many things in his life, he was a good musician, a talented producer and a fantastic performer, Iam disappointed to find that when he is gone you chose the cause of his death to label him. You choose to remember him by how he died rather than celebrating his legacy. Africans is it in our veins to be that negative?????, does it run in our blood to always look 4 de negatives when we are flabbergasted by the positives. i am hurt, truly. Secondly, 2 assume that Ma-willies was HIV +, (i see a retorical qxn here), is it fair to be this insensitive and negative. the paper soecified that he had TB, why do u have to asume the worst.

19 Mar 2008 02:39

Nonny forgiven.

@ Makoenan

Why do you say it’s a good cause and why do you personally support it. The issue here is about woman hood and using nudity to create awareness against rape and HIV/AIDS and how much effective has the campaign been.

Nonny
19 Mar 2008 02:40
