Ciara Proves She’s All Woman ( Vibe Scans)
Stephanie on September 7, 2008 at 4:01 pm (2 months, 2 weeks ago)
Since the first photos of Ciara posing in the buff for Vibe Magazine hit the net, fans and non fans alike have been wondering why Ciara, a singer who has been relatively modest about her displaying her sexuality, would make such a bold move and disrobe for all of the world to see. Well, one quick glance at a quote from the magazine pretty much tells the tale. “They said I was a man! It doesn’t get any worse than that”. It appears all those nasty internet rumors about the singer forced her to make a very in your face statement about what she was working with. Sincerely Ciara has provided the first full scans from the magazine and portions of the interview can read on their website.

She may as well have posed for Playboy…did she have to go there in order to feel successful? I guess most of them do “go there” eventually.

she looks good but she did not have to prove anything
She can take a crotch shot and people will say that she has an operation to get a v-gina so…

Everyone should read the post before they comment. People have been rumored to saying that she was a MAN or TRANSVESTITE! Please! I’da taken these pics too if I were her. What does she had to hide? Ga’head Ci, love you always! Flush that haters!
Fashionista101 said,
love that pic of her laying on the floor!
Amber,I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO said,
I like them.
Liyah said,
So unecessary. It is obvious that’s she is trying to get attention and I’m not going to give it to her. Peace!
Maglet said,
Any fool could see she was clearly a woman. I’m sad that she felt she needed to take all her clothes off to prove it. Her pictures are beautiful, but to feel that she needed to make this big of a statement… that makes me feel sad for her.
She does look great though. I LOVE her shoes in that first picture. :)
Waverly said,
Love the first pic and the second pic is awesome too. I ain’t mad at her. She ain’t showing nothing we ain’t all seen before. I don’t see no nippele or butt crack- nothing. These are some pg rated photos.
Majesa said,
I think they’re pretty, she’s in fantastic shape! Nudity isn’t always something disgraceful, and I think there’s nothing wrong with embracing it sometimes. I also don’t find these pics in bad taste. As said, people were accusing her being a man for a while, guess this kind of sets that straight for her. (But with the doctors these days…well….Ha, I’m kidding.) I imagine taking these kind of shots would be exciting to say the least.
BadGirl23 said,
Luv Ciara but we all know the reason she did this ish is because she has an album dropping. So I guess she and her crew can chalk this up as a success since we’re all talking about it like they wanted. In the end I don’t care how many antics you pull it still comes down to the music and whether it’s good or not.
I figure she’ll get a few more male fans and I guess a cover of KING will be in the short future.
manman81133 said,
Well the pics are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Yess shes promoting her album, but to say she did this JUST cause of her album is far from the truth!!! She did Billboard and Hype for her album too!! But I guess idiots will be idiots!!!
Anyway cant wait to buy the mag AND her album!!!
jan said,
aLL SHE REALLY PROVED IS THAT SHE HAD MORE *** THAN CLASS
Dark sista Is obama's Vp said,
I’m getting into a diet i want her stomach :)
Nne said,
Ci Ci has a very nice body.
I hate if she did these shots to prove a point or set some rumor straight because if that’s the case- ppl still running around saying she “tucked” or like someone mentioned above “she’s post-op”.
So, if you want to post nude… by all means, DO IT! Even if it’s to move {album} units but please don’t try to change hater’s minds on who/what you are, they’re never worth it and you’ll spend your entire career trying to dissolve every rumor put out there. :|
Nne said,
correction: meant *pose* nude
Brownsuga Diva said,
Ciara took these photos because they said she was a man? Well guess what Ciara, some people are still saying you’re a man or a hermaphrodite on other websites. These pictures are not going to change those people’s minds. I don’t believe you took these photos over internet rumor. You took these photos out of desperation for attention.
Beeyah! said,
She is in great shape!
Teeda said,
To Ciara:
You did not have to do this. People with common sense know that you are a woman, and we liked you for being different. I’m upset that the gossip is chipping away at your self-esteem like this.
Nudity is not always bad, but when your bending over and posing like, “pull up to my bumber” it’s crossing the line. I’ll chalk it up to being young because lord knows we all do crazy things like this at some point in our lives.
I still like Ciara’s music and wish her the best despite the photos.
SDot said,
She look amazing. These are nice high fashion pics. Ciara body looks amazing. NOT a lot of people can get this off. She better work.
shawneebear said,
HO SIT DOWN! Still a bit masculine.
Mikey said,
Ciara proves that she is all-desperate.
prettyparker said,
The first 1 and 2 pics are okay with me. She has a beautiful body. I’m glad when the brown ladies let the world know that fit and sexy comes in all colors. Too many times are brown girls only shown as big butt and thighs (no offense anyone, pls don’t take it personal).
The third pic is borderline but I could honestly see a pic like that in an art book, perfume ad or abacrombie display.
However, that last pic with her bending over is SO NOT RIGHT! Sorry, no way. Just can not co-sign w/her decision (or manager’s) to allow a photograph like this to go public. Remove her arm and it is straight up Playboy.
Melissa said,
Nothing high fashion at all about the pics!
Lingre said,
Why am I not suprised???!!!
sean said,
I love Ciara, but i kind of miss the 1,2 step and the Goodies days when she was always crunk and poppin on stage. Now she kind of seems more reserved if you see her perform now. And i guess she has to get use to be naked in magazines because shes a model now, but who nows
voice said,
Ciara has a nice shape and you know what i gotta cosign my sister if someone don’t like you , they won’t even if you give them the shirt off your back so if she took those pics to prove she is in harmony with her feminity good if its for any other purposes she needs to see someone
Misty Knight said,
Cosign about the shoes,,theyre great, but I also Cosign that this is to garner attention for her new single. At least thats my thoery, seeing as how she just got a new management then BAM! naked cover, and a “new” look, for a lack of a better phrase. I always thought that she was cute but not nearly as physically engaging as Bey, or Rihanna, whether its the make up or not with those two,theyre photo spreads are always interesting to look at. I mean honestly would we really be talking this much about a Ciara cover or photo shoot, if she wasnt naked? think about it
tezzy bear said,
hey ya’ll. the kid of the forum will drop some knowledge! haha.
on the real i really feel like ciara didn’t have to do this…..not that what i say makes a difference but this wasn’t necessary at all. if she felt that strongly about people calling her a man and a hermaphrodite then…..well i don’t know what to tell ya other than buck up and take it like a woman. any sensible human can tell that she is all woman. showing off damn near all the goodies she was trying to keep in the jar isn’t going to help. ya’ll know how people are nowadays. if you ain’t heterosexual, homosexual…hell even goatsexual than it’s something brand new. people have their ways of always having to tear down someone when they can’t except something about themselves. it’s the way it is. i’ve been picked on all throughout school. and yes i do have my own hang-ups on my looks and other factors of who i am i still do me and keeps it moving. it’s kinda to the point that i would wish someone would call me a man…..not because i’m feel froggy but because i’d feel like “I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! YOU’RE JUST WASTING AIR AND TIME. ”
maybe she wants attention or maybe she is really just trying to up the self-esteem a bit and show she is not a man but whatever the case may be…..to a certain point this wasn’t necessary.
i don’t care about her outfits or lack there of.
i’m outtie 5000-y
Torya said,
WHY!!!!
That is going too far to prove a point. That is Playboy, is it suppose to be accepted because it is not in Playboy?? Also, to prove that you are not a man, you would need to have a frontal shot, not a side shot anyway! I guess wanting people to remember you for your dancing skills and performance ability is not enough.
Lisa said,
They said she was a man like 20 years ago, and we all got over it. She just wanted to strip, no excuses.
Lola said,
Everyone needs to chill out. Who cares why she took the pictures. She looks good and thats all there is to it. Instead of judging try getting a life.
Brownsuga Diva said,
You can tell who the teeny boppers are on this blog.
There is nothing high fashion about those pictures. They scream amateur photographer and low budget.
@ Lola here’s a word of wisdom. If you take nude photos for the purpose of making them public, expect people to have an opinion about the photos.
Mz. Mae said,
I think Ciara has a great shape, but why did it take her so long to so call prove a point. I think she wanted to pose nude to show off her new assets.
Nesh Nesh said,
Whatever.
To each his or her own. I’m feeling it. She has a nice shape and she’s confident. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!!
soulgloscorpio said,
Goodness knows, for a woman…. I love Ciara, but I don’t think it was necessary to do this. Your beautiful Ciara and you sell potato sacks with or without public nude photos! I still love you though! Keep doing your thing!
Please Excuse Me said,
Posing nude will not change peoples minds about her…Ciara is beautiful woman who should be able to stand on her own without using nudity as a gimmick.
Afro-Cubana said,
Basically this is what u do when your self esteem is low. Ciara is turned out and insecure. Been there done that saw the light and will never sell myself out again. Love yourselves 1st
dani said,
I knew that people on this post would say something negative about naked photos smh. Ciara looks great and posing nude doesn’t always mean you have low self-esteem. I think it takes great courage to pose nude though because most people are sefl-conscious about their body.
Sade said,
I dont think she should have posed bending down but I honestly dont see nothing wrong with posing nude. This is 2008 and the only people saying nudity is wrong is people who insecure. Ciara is fit and fabulous. Shoot, if I had a body like her, I’d walk out the house naked. I guess I dont see nothing wrong because Im not as self-righteous as other people. Whatever, if Ciara poses nude it doesnt mean she has low self-esteem. She can pose nude because she can, she did and she’s a grown a** WOMAN!!!
SASSYDANCER said,
Very pretty girl with an amazing body a little disappointed she has exposed herself in this fashion.
CEline said,
Ciara is a beautiful woman this was unnecessary
Jenzo said,
Love the photos, hate the shoes. She’s looking great.
voice said,
LOve the phots the interview was so so to me
voice said,
and it just get on my nerves when celebrity try to keep their realtionships on the down low like “i wanna keep it private” why did you become an entertainer [minus the money] if you didn’t want your life to be public?

QUESTION 4 CIARI & TEAM
How is it that other celebs like Meagan Goode, Lauren London, KekePalmer(a kid), Joy Bryant,Cassie, to Kim Porter(a VIP Baby Mama), to video girls Superhead and Lola Luv: how do the always look like stars and stand out and have presence to them? I mean the blogs have mean things to say about them bout, they have more good comments than bad. Even on there worse days the still stand out and look like stars. Some haven’t worked in a minute and still stay relevant, some of them have only been out for a year or so and are on top. I mean what is missing from Ciara, she has been out for like what 5 years? She is a naturally pretty girl and on top of that she is thin(what hollywood and celebs crave) but she still is a no go. I mean she is dating 50 and that still doesn’t help?
I think you can compare Ciara to LIL MAMA, when lil mama turns 22 and try and be sexy or whatever , people are gonna look at her like WE ARE ALL, looking at Ciara. Lil Mama is cute but daaah, we don’t get it. I mean really besides kids, who is really patting 50 on the back for dating Ciara, no one the little boys, no grown men or celebs. Ashanti compliment Nelly, B compliments J, Kim Porter &Cassie compliment Puffy, Kimora complimented Russell, and so on.
One more thing. Apparently its not just us regular people/ or people that you think are just hating on Ciara just because. But it most be true, you see Jay-Z(Roc a fella) kicked Ciara to the crib SO QUICK, for being a spokesmodel. after her first ad it was a no go for her again. Yep Joy Bryant replaced her like asap, and Joy Bryant doesn’t even change her hairstyle or is very stylish and she still looks like a star and stand out. I GUESS THATS WHYJOY REPLACED CI-CI IN THE ADS. Ciara maybe you should try and establish yourself with the other hollywood, cause the urban world and hip hop ain’t buying it bookie

Wide Awake :
THis is what i’ve been saying The “it” factor which is:
- have a hot [if he is ugly rich will do just fine] boyfriend,
-date [not marry] him,
-and act like last time you seen him was in his video,
-have style,
- being nice and likeable,
-being marketable,
-and bedazzle foolish teenagers
is about 60 % of the recipe to make it, Then 40% is singing and or dancing [unless your name is alicia keys] Some will say cici can’t sing but neither can janet or madonna but cici can dance just as well as them yet…Nothing! I adore Ciara but like i said if you have the “it ” factor hold on to it Because if you betray one of the rules i cited, your -ss is grass It is hollywood , Look at leona lewis? That girl can sing better than any[pop]one you can bring up to me today even the ghetto queen Yet…Nothing
This is why i have a huge problem when people get on rihanna’s back about her not being a good performer what is that ? 40% off the 100% she still has 60% which is why she is making it and will keep on until lights skin girls are not hot anymore, or green eyes is not the new thing
You know what i mean? So i will buy ciara’s album i might give it to my sister but i will support her , At least SHE looks like a real sister not a contre façon
