Sydney Sweeney’s Breasts

[Vice Admiral]

As one of the world’s most respected organs of reporting and opinion, the Times newspaper is, as would be expected, devoting much attention to the two biggest international issues of the day – namely, the potential extinction of the human race at the hands of AI, and Sydney Sweeney’s breasts.

I therefore find it surprising that UKP – arguably the second most respected world outlet for fact and opinion – while giving proper prominence to the AI threat, has been ignoring Breastgate.  Perhaps out of prudishness, for which the site is sadly notorious.

For those not fully up to speed on Sydney’s breasts, yesterday’s main section of the Times carried a lengthy report (on page 3!), helpfully appending no fewer than three of the offending photographs in order to ensure that the paper’s readers were able to examine the issue in full detail.

The report begins:

Sydney Sweeney, the actress, has been accused of “obliterating” the reputation of women’s sport in a nude advertising campaign.

The campaign to promote the US betting company Novig shows Sweeney, best known for the television series Euphoria, in various states of undress with strategically placed sporting equipment.

Amy Hunt, the British sprinter who made history by winning four gold medals at a single European Championships this summer, was among female athletes who accused Sweeney of undermining years of work.

At the World Athletics Ultimate Championships on Sunday, Hunt said on the BBC: “Sydney Sweeney, this is what women in sport looks like … muscles, hard work, sweat, blood, tears.”

I've written admiringly of Hunt on another thread, but I do think this is all a bit silly.  Women’s athletics appeals to one demographic, Sweeney's breasts to another.  I don’t think there is much overlap.  (Except, to be fair, in some of the photographs...)

Meanwhile, yesterday’s Times 2 carried an analysis of the issue by Harriet Walker, under the heading, “Nipples, now nudes: has Sydney Sweeney gone too far this time?”

I regret to report that Ms Walker gave Sweeney's breasts the thumbs-down. 

Me?  Cautious approval, I think.

Personally, I need to see more evidence, ideally close up and in UHD

As fit as Ms Sweeney is - and I wouldn’t kick her out of bed - I much prefer a woman who is sexually less in your face. Sexiness is as much about what is in your head as what you can see. As a result some of our female athletes are way more sexier, such as Amy Hunt, Keeley Hodgkinson and the cricketer Lauren Bell.

Actually I should that there's a significant overlap of the demographic that women’s athletics and Sweeney's breasts appeal to.

[RandomGuy99]

Maybe we need a big breasts running league?

Haters made her GOAT

Whilst I agree with female athletes like Amy Hunt and the like, I can deny that chebbage is damn good.

She should carry on flaunting her assets but without the use of sports equipment

Where can I see more of this ?

There is, however, a danger of over-exposure.  This is what I wrote in my Reply #9565 on the “Movies/Films/TV – Opinions” thread on 12 July:

I've now watched the rest of Anyone but You.  It's dirty work, but someone's got to do it.

Actually it was kind of OK – a “nice" film, full of “nice” people – although inevitably it got a bit silly and soppy towards the end; and there were even fireworks in the background when the "Will they, won't they?" young couple finally (spoiler alert) got together for good.

However I need to return to the subject of the Sweeney's breasts.

She is clearly inordinately proud of them, and indeed I understand that they have aficionados all over the world.  However (with the strong possibility that the Sweeney or her team regularly monitor UKP) I would like to suggest to her that the doctrine of "Less is more" might be applied when her cleavage next appears on film – because I doubt if in the entire history of world cinema there has been a film in which the main character’s décolletage features so relentlessly as it did in Anyone but You.  In the end this becomes quite distracting, making it more difficult to concentrate on the, er, complexities of the plot.

Intermittent appearances would have more impact.

The Euphoria TV show on HBO or Sky TV. There's two seasons of Sydney not wearing a lot.

I agree.
Less is often more.
If there was an academy award for understated sexiness, I think Juliette Binoche in Chocolat would havs made the nominations for that year

Maybe I'm missing something, but how does an actress getting her kit off equate with a professional female athelete keeping her clothes on?

[RandomGuy99]

She really needs to do Playboy as we've seen most of her bits already.

Yeah it doesn't, it's just to get people talking about her, which she's succeeded in doing.

Is playboy still going  it's a yank magazine ( excuse the pun) I'd much rather see her in all her glory in Mayfair magazine 
Back in the day she would probably feature in Nuts, Zoo or loaded magazine

Playboy is still going online. Over the years many celebrities have done nudes for it although the brand is somewhat tarnished these days.

Playboy is still going online. Over the years many celebrities have done nudes for it although the brand is somewhat tarnished these days.

Yesterday the Times returned to the implications of the biggest international story of the year so far.  This time the matter was discussed in Carol Midgley’s column.  Here is an extract from her piece:

Do you want to know who I feel sorry for this week? Who does my heart go out to? It is Gwyneth Paltrow. Or, to be completely specific, Gwyneth Paltrow’s breasts. Because they have been outshone, outmanoeuvred, outgunned. I could weep for them.

You may have seen what happened. If not, have your tissues ready. A few days ago Paltrow, peddler of those yoni eggs to keep lazy vaginas in shape, popped up on TikTok modelling various sweaters. Then, for the last frame, she appeared at her fridge eating an apple while suddenly topless (don’t ask me — no idea). A black rectangle protected her nipples’ modesty.

The video was getting a little bit of traction, as anything involving the female mammary tends to do, but then, oh dear, catastrophe. As you will have seen, because you could only miss it if you were dead, Sydney Sweeney popped up in a series of naked adverts for the sports betting app Novig, deploying her weapons-grade knockers like a pair of Tomahawk cruise missiles. Attention-wise, poor Paltrow’s were blown clean out of the water.

When I began this thread, I had thought of making its theme more general, and giving it some such title as “Celebrity Tits – with Particular Reference to Sydney Sweeney” or, indeed, simply “Celebrity Tits”.

The reason I decided not to use the first is that it is cumbersome, while I didn’t use the second because I have been given to understand that the fragrant Sydney was a bit pissed off by my suggestion on the “Movies / Films / TV” thread that there she was too frequently décolletagé in the film Anyone but You – and (for reasons outside the remit of this thread) I would like to get back into her good books.  And I thought that might be achieved by my opening a thread specifically about her.

However, in view of Ms Midgley's and RandomGuy's comments, perhaps this thread could now be widened to consider other celebrity tits – not least because it seems to me that some famous tits are overrated.

Take the cases of the late Barbara Mountbatten-Windsor and the late Dolly Parton.  Were their breasts really as good as all that?  Or were their mammary reputations to a certain extent, erm, inflated?  A matter of clever marketing?

I don’t claim to be the world’s No. 1 expert on female breasts, but, if others more expert than me read this, their opinions would be of value.

I see Sydney Sweeney has a 2027 calendar out, worth a look   
One of the months is a photo wearing that silver dress

[Vice Admiral]

From Caitlin Moran's "Celebrity Watch" page in today's Times:

This week’s most notable “Huh! Well, would you look at that?” moment came with the headline “Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe are related: the actors are reportedly ninth cousins, once removed.”

As the accompanying photographs* hammered home, this story is pleasing because Monroe was the apogee of bosomy, blonde hotness in the 20th century, and now Sydney Sweeney is the apogee of bosomy, blonde hotness in the 21st. And now we find out that their tits are related. It’s as if this has been the subject of a spin-off series about family trees called Who Do You Think You Bra?

Two points (oo-er, missus) emerge from this:

1.  Who in God's name has the time, energy and expertise to engage in this kind of nerdy genealogy?

2.  According to Google AI, most people have tens of millions of ninth cousins and ninth cousins once removed.  So you and I may very well be related to the Sweeney too, although she might not be thrilled if we knocked on her door and informed her of our consanguinity.

(*I couldn’t find the "accompanying photographs" in saveable form so I append a photograph of SS from the Sun when it covered similar ground a few days ago, and a famous old photograph of MM.)

I must say that she does have rather exquisite breasts
