I can certainly understand a good level of paranoia for women on the interrornet. Editing out the moles and scar sounds a little borderline extreme but considering you had a bit of boob showing, I can understand that if something was to spread through the net in some strange way, you'd never want someone to see you in a Bikini and go "Hey! you're that chick in the e-mail pic that gets sent around!"
I must confess that I'm more than a little concerned in light of my own picture, considering the Smurfette underware. It's a prime candidate to end up in some joke e-mail. But then again, I'm actually more likely to claim the fame and laugh at it myself *shrug* thats just me.
