more baker love

This is from New York radio personality K. Foxx's 2007 calendar "I Am Every Woman" (sighted at Afrobella).


Compare to Ifétayo Abdus-Salam's "Josephine Baker" (below) from her American Exotic series (she's also got a page in the forthcoming exposure).

Both are gorgeous pictures, but their intentions, I think, are quite different (check both the statements on their respective sites). Could Ifétayo's work be a calendar? Could K. Foxx's portrait function as art? Does it matter?
