I have walked down the middle of the street completely nude in the middle of the day. It was great! Only a few people saw me, but nothing bad happened. The more people who try this, the more people will see that it’s not a problem after all.

I have modeled for several sculpting sessions.

One was a 6 session sculpture class where the students were griping about me not holding exactly still while they were still globbing clay onto the armature. Then when they asked the instructor how to proceed he told them to “make the clay look like the model”. Well, duhhhh!!! Anyway it was OK.

Then a local community group had me on this rotisserie so that I could be turned to get a new perspective every 15 to 20 minutes. That was different. But that was a very good group who knew how to enjoy life. They all brought lunch with them and sometimes wine and we would have a nice little feast during the break. Then back to sculpting. They did some VERY good work.

In all cases I had to hold very still for a very long time, not counting breaks. So I do not prefer modeling for sculpture because it is so demanding. Figure drawing allows me to move and be freer and more expressive during the session.

I can’t help most people from personal experience because I don’t wear clothes normally. So I have to stop to remember to PUT ON clothes to interact with mundane people.

For the rest of you mundanes, my advice is to take off your clothes. At this point you will be naked. Now that wasn’t so difficult, was it?

You have just reduced your consumption of detergent and water to wash your clothes and the electricity to run the washing machine. Not to mention the fuel to transport those clothes to the store and to run your car to go shopping for clothes, plus the time savings shopping for clothes.

You have reduced the demand for underage sweat shop workers to make those cheap clothes in Thailand.

You also have taken the first step to debunk the myths propagated by advertisements that tell you that you are nothing if you don’t buy whatever magic product they are selling.

You are to be commended for your efforts to save the environment and improve working conditions internationally!
