Thanks! Nice collection of links, great first post, welcome. The context was lost in muchlove570's post, but if you follow the whole chain back, we were talking about the photo you call "/photos/147073936@N05/37196949465 - Washington Monument Fountain topless schwarzenegger pose", and I was trying to figure out which of the two gorgeous partially-naked women they were talking about. Thanks for the links on the part-half-Asian-looking woman.
I would still love to see anything else that's out there of the all-caucasian one
Re: how Asian is Asian, etc., yeah, that's a tough one. I almost said "half-Asian", but how would I know the difference between half, 1/4, 3/8, etc? You want to describe somebody based on recognizable features but not sound like your race-obsessed grandpa... no easy answer.

Portland would disagree with your first point, though the photographic evidence isn't great. I have no idea what
percentage of Portland riders go full nude, but I'm pretty sure the total number of fully nude women is higher at Portland every year than any single UK ride. It just doesn't seem that way because it's at night and it's not very well-photographed. But if you watch stationary videos like youtube.com/watch?v=9Jkk12hXyJA (2017), or youtube.com/watch?v=iyCjqzPvMP4 (2016), you get a sense of the scale. There are (indistinct, at a distance) shots of countless (I've never bothered to count them, anyway) fully-nude young women you've never seen a clear photo of. Just watching the 2016 link from 14:16 to 14:26, for example, I counted 9 fully-nude women that I've never seen a photo of, and that's only out of the ones close enough to the camera to see. If that rate kept up through the entire 19-minute video (it doesn't), that would be about 1000 fully-nude women, and at the end of the video, the crowd is still streaming past; we don't even know how much longer it goes on.
Re: what part of "NAKED" don't they understand, that's a pretty well-worn topic area I don't think anybody's going to feel like going over again, but I'm just happy to get what we get, for free. Certainly any efforts to harangue women into showing more would be counterproductive. It's a delicate balance, and luckily places like Portland have great cultures where being naked with thousands of strangers in the semi-darkness feels like fun to that many women, and the photographers aren't such a large part of the scene that they really feel harassed by them (many people who have been to London rides over the years have reported that this is a huge problem there). It's all good and well to wish for even better, but if you'd told me when I was a kid that there would one day be an event where 50 women rode bikes by in their
underwear, I wouldn't have believed you. If you'd told me there would be dozens of events in the world where tens or hundreds of women would be fully-naked, every year, and that I would be able to see HD video of them from my own home for free, I would have absolutely lost my mind (even though I would have had no idea what "HD video" meant
). It's good to keep perspective about it.
If there's a decline in female nudes in Philly, I hadn't noticed it. Maybe. But I don't think there's been much of a decline worldwide, once all the pics are in. Literally every year, a few days after major WNBRs, somebody will post "why has the number of good pictures of naked women gone down?" But as pictures trickle in over the following year, there hasn't actually been a real "down" year since 2013, and the total combination number-and-quality of photos has generally trended higher. One thing that
is worse this year vs previous years is that for a number of reasons, we have fewer images posted here than in previous years. I think this is mostly a combination of a few big-time posters posting less, some of the rest of us posting more links to other sites rather than reposting, and a number of reposted pictures having to be removed at the original photographers' request.
