A twitter account called @WhoresofYore was suspended by twitter yesterday for the crime of having an avatar of a 17th Century painting of Nell Gwynne, mistress of King Charles II, that showed her nipples.

Following a storm of protest, the account was reinstated by the prudish censors at twitter, after the avatar had been edited to protect the lady's modesty.

You can see the before and after pics in this tweet from the account

and under that, lots of replies ridiculing twitter.
"How did you get Sir Peter Lely to amend his painting? Wasn't he busy turning in grave?"
"Seriously? So no avatars featuring Michelangelo's David, Titian's Venus of Urbino"

I have started posting some of the interesting historical images from the twitter account over on the Fetish & Sexuality Central board.
