I beg your pardon?
I think he means that there is slightly more on obscene display than just the carefully crafted pubic hair...
I think his name's Vlad or Vlad Junior? He's been around for quite a few years.
Some old obscene display. This copy dates from 2005, but this is one of the earliest crux pics I found on the web and I have copies going back to the late 90s at least. I have never seen another still from this shoot, if anyone knows of one I'd be pleased to see it. I have seen a few manips and drawings based on it.
Naked and wide open for the eager and unsympathetic crowd. She is suffering stoically but for how long?
Japanese crux offers many obscene possibilities with those double patibulums (patibula?)
Not quite crux but I'm not complaining.

How you can worry about that, on a website called "Cruxforums", is beyond me
Beats the hell outta me. Yusseby too.

very very nice.
Two dating back to Yahoo Crux days. Cobra of course was one of the Founding Mothers. And although Smythe's manip style may seem quaint today, I recall how circa 2000 nobody was doing crux pics.
Every image was like unto a drop of water on a parched tongue in the arid wastes of the Mojave, which is an absurdly overwrought turn of phrase, but it did feel that way at time.

Yes. I would modify this and say very few were doing crux manips before 2000. There were some: Arcimboldo stands out of course as the grandfather of us all, Huffkens was going by the turn of the century, Aedilis, Sam Bains, Lady Catherine, FF. Even I had started by 2000 and posted my first half dozen or so pics

Great set of manips. All are wonderful. Especially for me 2, 3, 4 X shapes, but #7 black and white Crux is most superb, I find great emotion and beauty in these two ladys.Yes.

So modified.
And yeah, you definitely were in there pitching back then, including this off topic image featuring she of the beauteous backside, and a water-based anachronism I never noticed until you clued me in a few months ago.

At the opposite extreme to all we've seen and said here was the case referred to by Ammianus Marcellinus, Rerum Gestae 28.1.28 of an executioner who was himself executed for making a condemned adulteress go to her death naked:
notiores fuere Claritas et Flaviana, quarum altera cum duceretur ad mortem, indumento, quo vestita erat, abrepto, ne velemen quidem secreto membrorum sufficiens retinere permissa est. Ideoque carnifex nefas admisisse convictus inmane, vivus exustus est.
'Among them, the most notorious (adulteresses) were the Claritas and Flaviana. When the latter was being led to her death, the cloth with which she was covered was ripped off, she was not even allowed to keep a rag sufficient to hide her secret parts. Accordingly, the executioner was convicted of a heinous crime and burned alive.'
Mind, that was in the 4th century, when attitudes to nudity were probably rather different from what they were in earlier times, and Ammianus was at this part in his work delivering a scathing satire on the morals of wealthy Romans of his day.

Another thing: I seem to recall that Ammianus' ladies belonged to the upper class, and by then the socio-legal barrier between the honestiores and humiliores was rather pronounced, as in Berlin-Wall pronounced. Could've been a class thing.
Luckily for him, Ammianus didn't live to see AD 410.
Another "death in the arena" manip from Gabrieleknight, this one Margareta of Antioch, a largely fictional Virgin Martyr whose major apocryphal achievement was vanquishing Satan, who took the form of a dragon and swallowed her, whereupon she burst out of him and then was beheaded.
Uh.
Yeah. Right.
I like Gabriele's version better.

I think the X shape and the 3rd picture are my favorite crux depictions. especially the 3rd picture in this set. Does the cross style here have a name?
