YouTube Lets Kate Upton's 'Cat Daddy' Stand As Social Conservatives Protest

Kate Upton by Alexander Tamargo/Getty ImagesX-posted on AOC Body

BigDaddy YouTube Reinstates Kate Upton Video

Today's NY Daily News features Alexander Tamargo's image of Kate Upton -- much better imho than Terry Richardson's -- to update us on status of Kate's 'Cat Daddy' video on YouTube. Kate's rather salacious new video, released a couple days ago, was abruptly taken down on YouTube Wednesday morning for violating the website's rules on nudity and sexual content.

I can attest to Kate's assertion that there are many more videos on YouTube with much more salacious content. As is always the case with the demands by social conservatives that content is pornographic, their condemnation will drive video views higher.

YouTube officials eventually reached the same conclusion, writes NY Daily News.

“With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call,” said a spokeswoman for the site.

“When it’s brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.”

BigDaddy YouTube Took Down Flogging Video, Too

My own experience with YouTube acting as the morality police is more serious. They consistently pulled down a terrible video of a woman being flogged in Sudan, because the floggers demanded it.  Coincidentally, I just reposted this video after the April 28 Unite Against the War on Women national march. Read Republican Sue Helm Circled PA Unite Against the War on Women, Says Sudanese Activist Watching Her Hummer.

The video files were next smuggled out of Sudan to women's rights bloggers like myself. Posting the horrific video under the Anne of Carversville name on Vimeo, I knew it would stand. Then I contacted Bloomberg News as others reached out to CNN and the BBC.

Only after the major media let the flogging video stand on their websites, did YouTube relent on their own decision to ban it.

Fashion's Rarified Elite Judge Kate Unfit to Walk Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

There's no doubt that Kate is shakin' boobs and booty in 'Cat Daddy'. She seems to be managing her career just fine, catching Rick Santorum's eye at the White House Correspondent's Dinner last weekend.

Who are we to judge her? And let me say that many bloggers picked up the wrong image of what Kate Upton wore to the WHCD. In reality, she dressed impeccably.

Although Sophia Neophitou asserts that Kate will never walk in a Victoria's Secret fashion show, I'm not so sure.

“We would never use” Ms. Upton for a Victoria’s Secret show, Ms. Neophitou said by telephone last week from London.

Eye | Madonna on Sexuality & Strong Women | Models 4 Water | Crazy Horse Film Criticized in Montreal

Heide Lindgren & Georgie Badiel with The Water Project Founder & President Peter ChasseHeide Lindgren & Georgie Badiel's Models 4 Water Fundraiser AOC Sensual Rebel

The reason I called out Heide Lindgren on AOC is because she raised some serious NSFW steam at Sensuality News in a Playboy France editorial last fall, lensed by Sasha Eisenman.

With all the blogger talk about Karlie Kloss' virtue recently, I seize every opportunity to promote the idea that good girls do take off their clothes on occasion -- and are better women for it. I argue that sensually comfortable women are generally less vain and more likely to be activists themselves.

More self-confident in their own sexual identity and physicality, Smart Sensuality women make the best activists, in terms of working the crowd and raising money for causes that matter. I call it Smart Sensuality financial everaging for issues that matter -- not getting some guy to buy you a pair of $500 stilettos. 

Buy me water wells in Africa and that will get my attention. Read on about Heidi and Georgie working for the global water supply.

Madonna may be promoting a retro fashion moment in her new film W.E, but she's as committed as ever to Smart Sensuality values, too. This is the essence of a 'fashion to flogging' mentality.

Madonna & Andrea Roseborough by Tom MunroMadonna & Andrea Roseborough | Tom Munro | Harper's Bazaar US December 2011 AOC Private Studio

Madonna delivers a smashing interview with Naomi Wolf in the current issue of Harper's Bazaar, addressing with her always laser-sharp sex & culture observations, the challenge of the Smart Sensuality woman.

Some of the critical hostility Madonna faces with this film, I (Naomi Wolf) am sure, is a reflex — our culture's resistance to women having power; directing a feature film is a powerful role, and women are central to this movie. I work with young women, I am the mother of a daughter, and I wanted to know, how did Madonna's sense of self emerge so intact? "I don't really know how," she replies. "I think it's just that as a creative person, in all the different things that I've done or ways that I've found to express myself, I've consistently come up against resistance in certain areas. I think that the world is not comfortable with female sexuality. It's always coming from a male point of view, and a woman is being objectified by a man — and even women are comfortable with that. But when a woman does it, ironically, women are uncomfortable with it. I think a lot of that has to do with conditioning."

Smart Sensuality people embrace eroticism and a positive physicality. Nudity doesn’t necessarily involve the objectification of women, although I’m the first person to agree that today’s world of saturated porn is messing up our minds big-time.

Karlie Kloss' Virtue Saved | Kloss To Walk 2011 VS Fashion Show

Karlie Kloss | Tom Munro | Numero #127 | 'Candy Darling' SN Living

We're happy to report that Karlie Kloss's career is not over, especially after her appearance in that sort-of 'slutty' (our word) Mario Testino for Allure October 2010 editorial. Karlie Kloss is confirmed to walk the 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway for the first time and has her fitting today.

After seeing the Karlie Kloss image below, a prominent male blogger wrote:

Kloss’ current commercial value lies in the fact that she is the classic beauty – the classic beauty set to be considered the world’s number one model as the likes of Natasha Poly move further into their own careers. Mario Testino’s implied-nude photo shoot with Karlie Kloss doesn’t play to that classic strength. There’s no allure to it and, frankly, it’s not that much better than what you’d expect to find in a whole range of low-brow men’s titles. Sure – Karlie Kloss looks stunning in the photo shoot; with her features, how could she not? But the technical work that went on the behind the lens doesn’t play to her strength. The strength of the allure that we love about her simply isn’t there.

That allure is what Karlie Kloss really brings to the fashion industry – Testino’s photo shoot with all its half nudity and sultry looks offers up something that is merely hot. Most any model can look hot in a photo shoot – Kloss has way more to offer than that.

We noted then that Victoria's Secret has no competition in paying its models fairly, which kinds of shoots down the virtuous slutty girl theory. Obviously, there are other companies like Calvin Klein and beauty industry brands who pony up the cash for exclusivity.

Reality is that not even Emmanuelle Alt's purified Vogue Paris will reset the pay scale in today's modeling industry -- even for virtuous models having visually untainted reputations. In the case of Karlie Kloss, she seems to have skated by the morality police with her roller blades intact. Good going, Karlie! (All Karlie Kloss editorials.)

Bregje Heinen Not Yet Confirmed for 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

On the subject of women's virtue, Bregje Heinen hasn't yet been confirmed to walk the Victoria's Secret show but casting director John Pfeiffer spoke very positively about considering Bregje, now that she is 18.

Bregje appeared in one of our very favorite editorials, published in Tush #2, Spring 2010. Tush is usually on the pulse -- in terms of important sensuality messages --and this one soars.

USC Frat Boy Launches 'Gullet Report' for Expert Cocksman Getting Quality Pie AOC Sensually Yours

Guap n’ Drop: A target that is extremely difficult to take down. She probably doesn’t drink very much and she probably has a high socioeconomic status. Simple tactics wont impress her. It will take a good amount of effort and time to crack these. You are going to have to open up the wallet (guap) and spend (drop) a good amount on her to finally get to the pie. Better hope it has great grip for all your diligent work.
