I don't think she was naked, but I did appreciate the effort to make me think she was naked.
IMO she was functionally naked (good band name?). she might have been wearing pasties, mercain, etc. but the guitar and crossed legs were hiding all that anyways. whether she was truly naked or not is academic (and i have an advanced degree in that field of study... 
).

Hmm, now I question the veracity of sweets degree....what what your dissertation on?
this article is tangential to my analysis, which still stands. whether she was
actually naked is irrelevant: to the observer, she was.
look, i get it, this is a new field of study for you. the analogy here is someone who is being introduced to the concept of Schrödinger's cat. "what do you mean, it's both alive AND dead?" - a normal response from a newb. you'll get there, eventually.
and for the record, the title of my dissertation was "HERsute: A Temporal Analysis of Body Hair and the Female Form in Printed and Online Media, From the 1970's to the Present". i can send you a copy, but best to use a personal email address (preferably a throwaway account that you can plausibly deny ownership of...)
