@Kim B- he certainly is, I thought he was some hot celebrity that I couldn't quite place.

@Todd S. hehe ☺ I'm glad he's not, he's already quite popular, both sexes love him :)
You look handsome yourself too by the way!

Mhm, todd, cathy and mookey got it.
Just because "everyone will take offense to something" doesn't mean that something isn't offensive. Sure, you can wear whatever you want, but I can call you out on it.

Totally, someone is always going to be offended by something. just do what you like, it wouldn't have even occurred to me that this would be offensive?! fashion and art is always about pushing the envelope. the makeup looks great by the way. we can't spend our lives tip toeing around everyone!

I dislike the fact that crosses have become "fashionable". I believe in self expression and all that to me taking a religious symbol and using it in this way just because its "cool" is something I don't like but not something I would usually comment on but as you asked us how we feel on it I thought I would comment. That said people have the right to choose thier clothing and I am sure there are poeple who dislike how I dress.

I don't care what people wear. Whatever floats your goat :) I don't get offended by much.

Judas was found hung and disemboweled. It was Saint Peter who was crucified in such a manner. It is said he was crucified upside down at his request for he felt he was not worthy of dying in the manner his Lord, Christ, did. Additionally, the inverted cross has evolved into a symbol associated with anti-Christianity and eventually a homage to Satan in film and such. So yes, some will find it offensive. That said, I agree with Todd and feel he was on point. I'm not upset by it, but instead just view it as a weak effort to be edgy. If that's what people chose to wear they have every right to do so and I certainly would never impose my own beliefs on others, but in doing so, those who do choose to wear them should not be surprised if someone else finds it hurtful considering the Biblical history behind the inverted cross and its relatively recent associations. I'm NOT a fan of censorship, but I will note that her make up was the very last thing I noticed due to the imagery and as the MUA, you may want to bring the focus back to your skill. Her make up was done beautifully.

Yes because fashion designers and models are all masons and illuminati and are a massive threat.
Besides, any educated Christian should know an upside down cross is st. Peter's symbol.

Not offensive to me but I can see how it would be very offensive to people of the religion of Christianity

I'd like to note that the Swastika was adopted, not created, by the Nazi party and despite it will forever be associated with their beliefs and unspeakable tragedy, just because someone is wearing one does indicate an alliance with them. The symbol is ancient and many civilizations, countries and certain religions to this day hold it sacred so its representation has a completely different purpose for those cultures. The Nazi flag, however, is an entirely different story. Sometimes it is not a symbol that people take issue with, but the intention behind its display that deem it offensive in their view. While we cannot please everyone, nor should we try to, knowledge is a pathway to better understanding one another.

Not to me but I know a lot of people who would be pissed.

Rozberry J. makes a lot of astute observations.

Thank you, Todd. That's so kind of you to say.

@Rozberry J. Thank you! It boils down to educating oneself. I mean even if this is offensive and many Christians take offense they will also say wearing a Bindi is cute if the person isn't of that culture...so it's all about education!

@Roxberry J.-Well, you're a smart girl, but more than that, you understand what is going on below the surface.

An upside down cross is considered anti-Christian. So it's offensive because its a way of disrespecting the Christian religion. (:

It don't bother me but I don't like it..every one has there own beliefs but the upside down cross is bad its mocking jesus..most ppl think its just a fashion statement but its much bigger then that.

@Lana.. Yes!!

An upside down cross is not an actual symbol of antichrist. It is now perceived that way due to the media and movies brought up this way. As Rozberry J. said, it's the cross of St. Peter.

KEEP IT MOVING. Like I said. Learn to shut up sometimes.. You wouldn't want someone who isn't a Christian coming to you saying you're offending them because you have a cross thats right side up. & I bet if they did the first thing you'd say is they're going to hell. I don't go around thinking that everything is offensive or against my religion so why do you? I can see why someone would think that, but making a comment on it is stupid. You're acting like the picture has 666 & "I hate Jesus" across it. I wouldn't have even thought about the crosses if I were just coming across this picture because there's more to this picture than that.. I swear people go around looking for something to dislike.
