I've added the Godiva wig Madrugada pointed out earlier to see what happens with it.

EDIT: 3-zip so far. Looking good.

While I like the bodystocking for NSFW issues, it kind of gets in the way of the trope. It's supposed to be about covering up bare breasts. Not just breasts in general.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

I Google imaged "Godiva hair," and there are lots of great examples with watermarks over them. Annoying.

For example.

(the second one isn't that bad, but we'd have to partially decapitate her)

Some other suggestions:

Trippy Line thing

Quest For Glory IV (Kinda Too NSFW, but could be cropped)

This one. Very Good. Very tame

[up][up] I don't mind that one. It cuts off at the waist and it covers a bit more than just nipples.

^^I like the third one. A lot. I think that may be the one we're looking for. Should we go ahead and crowner it?

Here it is, uploaded, cropped a bit. I also put it on the crowner.

It needs the little one pixel border on the sides chopped off, but you're right, it's very tame.

Better crop is better

Frankly, I think anything showing her lower body is completely excessive. The trope is "hair covering breasts, " not "hair covering breasts and legs arranged so you just barely can't see anything." INUH

No. “"hair covering breasts and legs arranged so you just barely can't see anything." Is actually quite a good laconic description of the trope:

“Enter Godiva Hair, where her hair will cover up all the naughty bits they can't possibly get past the radar…. her hair is long enough to cover her breasts — and sometimes long enough to cover everything else as well.”

And frankly a picture which was tame enough for 1955 can’t be to excessive when applying todays standard.

The idea that the Real Life woman is somehow NSFW seems silly. Plenty of characters in fiction show more skin and wear clothes—but she shows less with anything naughty obscured by her hair, and that is NSFW?

^^Yes, but her hair isn't covering anything below her breasts. It just happens to be covered.

^The reason we're changing the image is because someone found the current one too NSFW. I'm not sure I agree with that (though I like the current lead much better), but hey. Some people are stricter than others. But if the anime girl is NFSW, so's the Godiva.

Except for a side view of her butt. I'm not even sure if I even understand what the point of this argument is. The point is that everything is properly covered in the B&W image, no different than on the Basic Instinct page.

It doesn't really matter, though. We've got a good shot at +8 now.

Seems like we have consensus and the crowner is stable. Changing image.
