Nude Photos Of Houston BC Mayor Controversy
Houston mayor stripped of all but chain of office
The personal property is private pictures of myself, which were for my husband and myself only and not for anyone else's benefit or for public distribution. It was a private photo for my husband, taken by my husband, and there was no disgrace or anything to with the position of mayor. In actuality, it was a proud moment for my husband and that's what it was considered and there is no degradation or anything else.
- Sharon Smith, Mayor of Houston, BC
That chain is something the mayor should be wearing when she is doing official municipal business. In my opinion, it shows total disrespect for the people she represents and the office she holds, It's kind of like slapping all of the voters in the face.
- Nipper Kettle, Houston resident
Well, this would make one wonder what her re-election campaign photos are going to look like, eh?? Oh, would that this were happening in the White House right about now....
In The Photograph, Houston Mayor Sharon Smith is sporting a broad, happy smile, her chain of office -- and nothing else.
It's a lovely chain.
Sitting in a black office chair, the northwestern B.C. mayor lets it all hang out in an unashamed full-on portrait of the kind found in innocent nudist magazines.
She looks like she's having a good chuckle with someone with whom she's extremely comfortable.
Trouble is, news of The Photograph is now circulating in Houston -- population 4,300 and home to the world's largest fly rod -- and the story has been in the local newspaper.
Smith claims The Photo was stolen from her home computer at the beginning of November.
You see, this is EXACTLY why I never pose naked in my office. Before you know it, pictures would be all over the Internet, and people the world over would be losing their lunches. I'm not sure that I'd care to be responsible for that.
There were two things Mom used to tell me: never take a picture of something you wouldn't want your mother to see, and ALWAYS wear clean underwear, because you never know when you're going to be in a car wreck and...well, I think you know the rest of the story.
Of course, Houston, BC IS the home of the world's largest fly rod. Perhaps she was just admiring the large rod??
