Some people believe that you can tell a lot about a lady's personality just by looking at the length of her skirt. Judgements by Rosea Posey is a skin-deep exploration of this idea that literally marks the model's legs with a scale of sluttiness.
From just below the underwear line, the artist used a pen to write three descriptors in hierarchical height that suggest a woman is either an actual streetwalker, promiscuous or simply strives to adopt that image. Lower down on the ladder we have provocative, cheeky, flirty, proper, old-fashioned, prudish and eventually matronly, towards the ankle. While Judgements by Rosea Posey does not reflect the artist's own prejudices, many girls will agree that her system of skirt measurement is often consistent with the public opinion.
