I just watched two series from How to look good naked hosted by Carson Kressley, you might recognize him from the Queer eye for the straight guy. I just love him, and I really enjoyed watching this new series. I thought it was going to be on Bravo, and it is on My Lifetime. I really hope it gets a lot of ratings, because I love what this show stands for.
I love it at the end where he tell them they should do a photo shoot and that they should do it naked. The shocked look, that immediately goes to excitement, is so great to watch on somebody who has never set themself free. I love it, I love to see the genuine smile on somebody's face, and the excitement and confidence that they move forward with in life once they have bared it all.
Why is it that there is such a taboo about being naked? Is it associated with sex? Is it associated with self confidence, or lack thereof it?
To me, being naked is being free, its the ability to move about and to celebrate life, no matter where you are, or what is going on in your life. It's an adventure, and when you are naked outdoors, its the greatest high that I could ever achieve. The feel of the sun, the wind, the water, the sand, the grass, the earth, on your bare skin, and most importantly, on all of your bare skin, is heaven.
I have been asked on several occasions how the fact I can be naked, and be in pictures when I have a boyfriend. They are even more shocked when I tell them that my boyfriend takes the pictures, builds the website, and encourages my nakedness. There is no deceit, there are no lies, there is only fun explorations on this planet, living life, pursuing bliss, and having lots of fun!
Can nudity be sexual? Well yes, but its only sexual if your intentions are sexual. And thats a great choice to have. Being naked does not always make me feel sexual. Its usually the furthest thing from my mind. What makes me feel sexual, is when I purposely dress to be sexual, or I purposely undress to be sexual.
Have you ever been naked? Have you ever been naked in pictures? May I ask why or why not, I am always curious to understand what others think. I know that I have not always been so comfortable naked, and that I have had major growth and experiences in life that has brought about my comfort, but we all have a different story, and I am really curious to know yours.
We work with a lot of new people, who have never been naked before. We are capturing their journey, and each photo shoot seem to free the individual more and more. How do we do this? We give them the choice. We ask how they want to be in pictures, and we let them know that we do shoot nudes, that this is our art, and we love to shoot the body. If they wish to participate, then they become naked in our pictures. The transformation in each person that we have shot, is beautiful. It is so fun, and feels so good to put a smile, and some energy into somebody who has never been naked before.
What would it take to get you naked? How would you be willing if ever to get naked? For art? For love? For freedom?
Thank you David for sharing this with me. A great tool to discover nude in the united states: Nudar, nude beaches, nude resorts, strip clubs, and more. Yahoo, what a wonderful tool. If you have a gps system, which I do not, you can get a free limited time only download that you can add. I just love technology! Especially when it is applied to such lovely resources
