Talk:Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster

Description
I moved the description to an ALT in the image, because I felt there was too much excessive detail. For example, "The tight fit of the swimsuit outlines her nipples in the fabric." is borderline pornographic. I appreciate we need to accommodate the needs of blind people who can't see the image, but accommodating them is not the same as giving them free "whacking material".

Subliminal message sources
I recall learning shortly after this poster came out, that the word "sex" can be seen in the curls of her hair, suggesting this was a subliminal message responsible for the poster's success. It occurred to me today to hunt for sources. Hard to find, but here are a couple: Does this deserve a mention? ~Anachronist (talk) 05:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * "Devoted fans of the poster were convinced they could see the word "sex" spelled out in the waves of Fawcett's hair." - https://www.biography.com/actors/farrah-fawcett-swimsuit-poster
 * Museum of Hoaxes page - https://hoaxes.org/weblog/permalink/does_farrah_fawcetts_hair_spell_sex_in_her_famous_poster/ - this seems like a reliable source but that particular article seems like more of a personal reflection, but it does go into some detail about the subliminal message theory
 * "Fun fact traded among us boys: If you looked closely at Fawcett’s hair, you could see the word sex “written” in the tangled thickets." - Chicago Tribune - https://www.chicagotribune.com/2009/06/27/farrah-fawcett-one-of-last-great-american-pinups/
 * ...and a bunch of decidedly unreliable sources too.
