Change to Rule 2: Nudity/Pornography

23 Upvotes

No, 1920s pornography is not allowed here. No, 1920s full nudity is not allowed here.

However I can't be a prude and be strict, so I'm making an annedum to the rule: any partial nudity that is posted here is required to be marked with thr NSFW filter. Failure to do so will result with the post removed. Repeated failure to do so will result with a ban. I like the three strike rule, so we'll run with that.

I'm working out the kinks to this whole 'mod' thing, so forgive me.

First things first, an introduction: I have been on reddit for almost a decade now, and have been in the online MCM/retro/art deco scene for about five years now. I enjoy gardening and nature, as well as foraging.

As for the group, I pledge to clean up the group and be active, as well as be open to any complaints and/or suggestions there may be. That being said, comments here will be open for any suggestions.

Thank you, and enjoy!

Another Ed Steichen photo, of Lee Miller when she wasn't the accomplished war (and fashion, and portrait) photographer and journalist we know today, but still worked as a fashion model herself...
