Though Kate Upton is known for her prodigious physical assets, she hasn't yet done any fully nude photo shoots. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but it is unusual for someone in an industry where full nudity is common. In a new interview with Details, Kate explained that the reason she has restricted herself to posing topless (rather than topless and bottomless) is "social media." Apparently, even gorgeous models are afraid of people saying nasty stuff about them on the Internet.

"Your body is art, your body is beautiful, and to be photographed in that way is amazing and it's received in a very positive way," Kate explained. "But with social media and the Internet and not so great blogs and the attention like that, I don't think that my pictures would be received in the way that I'd want them to be received. That's why I've stayed away from them." OK, fair enough. People on Twitter and Instagram can be vicious — just ask Chrissy Teigen. For what it's worth, though, many Internet users seem to have reacted, well, positively to most of Kate's topless shoots. But you do you, Kate.
