Risque or no?

My wife recently celebrated her 61st birthday and there was lots of dancing. I took some photos of her dancing and bought a frame to hang on the wall that shows 6 photos stacked vertically.

I intended to put it in my office. Wife is fine with it, but her daughter says no way, the pictures are too risque. What say the Pelicans?

No, not appropriate for an office

I see no problem with it

There's an obvious question just floating in the air here...

I took down the pics because the consensus is clear, "No, don't put them in your office."
Thanks, it's good to see things from the perspective of others.

You know your work environment and are best able to decide whether the 6-photo compilation is "okay" or not. You'd have to put yourself in the mind of a client coming into your office.

I don't think they're too risque, but I'd put it in my home office and go for that last one or a headshot for work.

Johnny Carson would say, "wd! You can almost see her tutu in a couple of those shots."

One imagines that in between shots one could see her tutu.

Too personal to put in a work environment IMO.
Unless you run a dance academy, I would say no.

Nice pics though.

What I find more disturbing than the pics is that you come here for advice!

Just kidding. Great pics. I say it's your office, put what you want in there

As long as you don't hang it up in between the Playmate of the Month poster and the Pirelli girls calendar you should be fine.

I am a very private person, so no, I wouldn't hang them in my work office for everyone else to ogle (fine looking lady). I agree that the last one would look good, but still remain decent.

Yes, well I'm kind of caught in the middle. When my wife saw the collection she asked if I was going to put it in my office. She still dances and models and she's used to having people look at her, so she didn't see a problem. Her daughter saw them and she's like - no way mom! So I needed an opinion from the real world. This is as close as I get to the real world any more.

Ha! That might explain your political leanings!

Kidding, of course. Regarding pics...enlarge them and display prominently in your home. Lovely wife...Lucky man.

If it was a public office I wouldn't consider it. It's my private office and the only people in it are my wife, an occasional employee, and the cleaning crew.

I voted "no" but based on this, its probably OK. have your employees met your wife?

Your daughter has raised you well. No pics of mother on wall. Each one to their own. My wife gets lots of attention as it is. Pics on wall I don't think so.
