LOL! I think 126 is a step above.

I think the OP's wife looks great, but I would not post in my office. I have zero personal artifacts in my office. I separate personal with work life. I do share my background with coworkers but not every one of them and at the level I choose.

Took the pics down, probably not a bad move. Your lady is beautiful, you're a lucky guy. Based on the above, and the fact that I saw the pics earlier today when they were up, I'd say that they are fine for you to put in your office.

If it were a different kind of office with different traffic, then probably a bit much.

Oh come on. Put the photos back up. You're amongst friends.

There is nothing wrong with being proud of your wife, or still finding her sexy. Putting those photos up in your office will certainly make her feel sexy, and make he secure that you're still attracted to her.

Whether or not they are appropriate for your office depends on who goes in there. Do you own the business? As long as she's not dancing on a table in a g-string wearing a lampshade, I would imagine they won't offend anybody. If you're like me, only my assistant or my wife goes in my office. I use a conference room for meeting with staff or outsiders.

Taking the pictures down off Pelican parts O.T. is sort of the final judgement on the topic of risque or not.

Thanks for the input. I took them down because I just needed some perspective, which PPOT provided quickly. The trend was obvious after a few posts.
I love the photos because she was dancing on her 61st birthday, and she is in heaven when she dances. I hung them at eye level in my bathroom. I can look at them every day there, which was what I had in mind putting them in my office. The stuff on my walls there is mostly car related. I have the steering wheel off of my first Porsche and some of the awards I've won with my cars. No pictures of family at all.

Thanks, it's good to see things from the perspective of others.
Boo! Hiss!

Edit: I see you posted pics... I work in a rabid PC office (employed by the state) and I see no problem with the pictures.

For reference my wife's EX pined up high school class pictures of his daughter (my SD) in his cubicle... daughter saw them and was mortified.

We bought a car last night... salesman had wedding pictures in his office (young guy, typical pictures of them kissing with the sun peeking between their lips blah, blah, blah...)

Okay, okay... not as sexy as you wife pics (and I mean that in the nicest way possible, wife's daughter is in college and took ballet so we have pictures of her all over the house).

I have this picture posted at my desk... to remind me of why I put up with all this carp.

That 3rd photo from the top is very nice. Why don't you just frame it by itself and put it on your desk standing up facing you.

Weird. I can still see the pics on tapatalk. On the feed page.

Pretty woman! Your cup floweth over, friend.
Maybe delete entire thread now?

Not risque. And also not appropriate.

I think the deal is "human sexuality in your office, eeek."
