Undress Me | Daniela Freitas | Pierre Dal Corso AOC Private Studio

One shouldn’t spend a lot of time making meaning out of a Top 25 List of July reader loves. Search engine positioning, life events for a model or photographer, and my own personal focus can drive reader interest in certain editorials.

In a few cases the editorial is at the bottom of my curated list; and I am confounded that other people make it a big hit. Mum’s the word on which ones.

This is a composite list between Anne of Carversville and Sensuality News, a mere snapshot in time. I do believe it reflects the editorials readers click on when scanning tags and the archive indexing. Because it’s a monthly listing, gone are the weekly fashion favorites that are a flash for a few days, and then die down.

In the case of our top editorial for July, my personal support of Pierre Dal Corso has helped drive his top position on our charts, although I’ve done nothing to promote this particular editorial of Daniela Freitas in over a year. With many of the GQ and Esquire editorials, our women readers love them, just as women love Treats! magazine. And guys — well they often prefer a woman with something to say.

We filter all of our nude photos unlike some prominent blogs that cultivate traffic, using nude female bodies to gain page views in what borders on disrespect and the expression of a Hustler mentality imho.

Passion and Politics

I’m also pleased that second most popular post is not a sexy editorial but a political article about the Vagina Monologues being read on the steps of the Michigan capitol on June 18th. I’m guilty of bribing potential readers with sexy vagina cupcakes — a clear reason for knocking straight news stories out of a prominent search position. This duality expresses the mindset of our readers: sexy people are often highly intelligent, successful and have a highly-developed social conscience.

You’ll be seeing more sexy vagina cupcakes soon because I’m having my own collection baked this fall for a photo shoot. Oh — and Martha Stewart’s model days are in the top 25. Martha Stewart meets Lara Stone in Google search. Now THAT will be an interesting set of images. Looking at the editorial, my inclusion of Martha looking like Catherine Deneuve may be the driver. It’s a side of the grande dame we don’t often see.

You can understand why I feel so passionately about intelligence and sensuality when Self-Reflecting Human Consciousness Is Tied to Prefrontal Cortex Grey Matter make the top 25.

Indeed, AOC readers are a rather elite audience.

So here it is, our first Undying Love Top 25 articles for July 2012 with images and the next 25 with links only. ~ Anne
