Nude or Naked?


Is it called nude or naked? I guess that’s something to think about over the weekend.

Before I started modeling, whenever someone didn’t have any clothes on, it was called being naked. It was always something like, “I don’t want anyone to see me naked”, “I heard so and so were swimming naked”, or even “Hey!, Let’s get naked!”

When I first started modeling, I just assumed that all modeling was fashion modeling of one sort or another. Then, one of the first photographers I worked with, asked me if I would be interested in posing nude. I thought about how posing nude, somehow sounded glamorous and artsy. So, I talked it over it with my boyfriend, and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a lot more fun than I had imagined it would be. I think back, and I wonder what my response would have been if the photographer had asked me to pose naked?

In the time since then, it seems the most common reaction I get from friends and family when I say that I often pose nude is, “you mean you were naked?”, like it was something embarrassing, or even against my will. But really, I think of naked as being fun and free. Since I started posing nude, I realized even more, just how fun it is to be naked.

I understand that the appeal for people that buy my DVDs, is that they get to see me naked, but when I am on a shoot, I really don’t look at it that way myself. In real life, outside of the privacy of my own apartment, there just aren’t that many situations where I have an excuse to “get naked”. I don’t even have the nerve to wear a bikini in public, so I don’t even go to the beach or anything. But, it’s completely different when I go on a shoot where I will be taking my clothes off, because I love to be naked in controlled situations, where I normally wouldn’t consider it. All the shoots with Rusty are so much fun because I get an excuse to be naked outside a lot. I never think of it as being nude outside, because it is so much fun feeling the sun on my naked skin. When I was asked if I wanted to be in a fishing video, the first thing I asked was, “do I get to be naked?” The company I did that shoot for said they would like it if I took my top off, but don’t get completely naked. It was a lot of fun anyway being topless out on the lake, and we didn’t get into any trouble with the law.

So, that is my opinion on nude and naked, in a nutshell. I actually could have wrote a lot more on the subject, but I will save that for another time. Anyone else have an opinion on the subject that they would like to share?

Near Naked Handcuffed Prisoner Escapes

I don’t think police need to tell us not to approach a near naked handcuffed prisoner wearing only some weed matting, I think that is pretty self explanatry. Werimu Rangi Hauraki who sounds like friggin Rambo, escaped from police by leaping over a balcony and driving head first over a steep cliff while semi naked and handcuffed. Despite an extensive search by police, sniffer dogs and a helicopter, the dreadlocked Hauraki managed to elude them twice. Good luck with that, it took Hollywood three Rambo movies to bring that dude down.

Stripped Down and Getting Naked

I have always been a huge fan of being a transparent leader.  When asked “what is my management / leadership style?” I answer with “I like to get naked”.  What I am referring to is opening up and putting most of my business out there.  For me it kills off rumors and builds trust with your team.  Plus it is less stress on remembering what you said and didn’t say.

Well today I want to applaud a company that has a very naked ad campaign going on right now.  That company is Domino’s Pizza.  They have changed their pizza recipe for the first time in like 50 years.  Instead of just changing the taste and calling it ‘new and improved‘ they have come out with the reasons they changed it.  They basically are saying ‘hey our customers thought our pizza started to suck’.

To take it a step further on their commercials they are quoting customers.  Here are two quotes that stood out to me:

  • “the crust tastes like cardboard”
  • “the sauce tastes like ketchup”

So here they are pulling the curtain back saying hey we see that we screwed up over the past few years.  We haven’t kept our taste up to expectations and we are listening.

Domino’s has even set up a website about the change at www.pizzaturnaround.com .  On the site they have a short documentary with actual footage from focus groups.  Plus they have a stream of tweets that provide real time feedback on the product.  not all of the tweets are positive and to their credit they leave them up.

Will the nakedness work?  I don’t know but I can tell you that I plan to order some Domino’s soon.

It makes me wonder what would happen if other companies or churches decided to exercise the same naked approach?

Plus if a company or church doesn’t want you to peek behind the curtain, don’t you wonder what they are hiding?

My First Time

My very dear friend Susan, who owns the fabulous Eco Day Luxe spa in Yardley, The Skin Studio, was kind enough to grant me a complimentary massage for mentioning her in one of my blogs a while back.  So … I went, for my very first massage!   Yes, it’s true, it was my first time!  I know that’s hard to believe, for as much as I indulge myself in other ways, NOT to have ever had a massage … is well, just unenlightened!  So, I was thrilled to have the opportunity.  Then of course, immediately worried … will I have to get … naked?

I’m sure more people have that worry than care to admit!  But I was lucky to immediately be put at ease by Linda Crocker, the very skilled and equally friendly spa therapist at the Skin Studio.  She’s been practicing 7 years and teaching 4 of them, so I’m sure she’s seen it all.  Anyway, Linda was also kind enough to explain some of the mystery of what she was doing to me.  This also helped.  The essential oil massage is what I opted for, but you can also get a warm stone massage, sports massage or swedish massage, their signature, with our without deep tissue work. 

I’m not going to pretend I’m an expert on Aromatherapy, because it’s a very involved and intriguing science.  If you want to learn about it, a good place to start is @ http://www.aromaweb.com/articles/wharoma.asp.  But in simple terms it’s pretty much the way a synergistic blend of specific essential oils work together, to address a specific problem.   The problem could be  inflammation, respiratory, emotional, or stress, and the blend of oils is customized for each individual client.  90% of the people who come to a spa, request relief from emotional or physical (or both) stress and desire a “calming” blend of oils.  Linda says she likes to use chamomile, geranium and lavender to relax and that generally 98% of men and 75% of women fall asleep during her sessions. (not me though LOL).   Someone may also come in desiring relief from a cough, and in this case she may mix together a tea tree oil (a natural antiseptic antibiotic) wintergreen and eucalyptus.   Now that’s kind of cool, and in my opinion a way better way of dealing with a cold than prescription medicine or over the counter drugs. 

Essential oils are extracts from trees, plants or flowers and work in many different ways to achieve the desired results.  The oils are absorbed through the skin, and believe it or not, the feet absorb the fastest.   They are also inhaled through the olfactory senses and work with the limbic system in the brain to calm the hormones and emotions.   The oils can last in your body for up to one month after the treatment.  Different people can react differently to each oil treatment.  Some can walk away completely relaxed and ready for bed, while others may be completely renewed, energized and ready to dance!  The Skin Studio only works with organic oils because Linda tells me “they offer a stronger energy.”

Massage has become somewhat trendy these days, along with the yoga craze.  Definitely, not a bad thing.  One of my best friends is addicted to them, right along with her husband.  They go regularly together.  I think that’s really cool.  Sometimes they treat themselves and make a short weekend out of and check into a luxury hotel for the night – do the spa, then dinner, then drinks, then … well … you figure it out!  And sometimes she says they just do a no frills franchise massage.  You can check it out and find one near you @ http://www.massageenvy.com/locations.aspx.  Point is … they do it … and so should you.  At least TRY it!  I did … and I liked it!  Next time maybe I’ll even … get naked!

International Law Good Idea? Sweden court : taking naked pictures of sleeping teen not a crime

Taking naked pictures of sleeping teen not a crime: court ( SWEDEN)
31 Dec 09

A court in Halmstad on the southwest coast of Sweden has dismissed charges against a man who reportedly took a photo of a 17-year-old girl’s genitals while she was sleeping. The court said that the incident was was not a punishable offense.

The girl had laid down to sleep on a sofa during a New Year’s party. The 49-year-old reportedly lifted up the girl’s skirt and photographed her genitals. The man, whose teenage son was hosting the party, was indicted on charges of sexual harassment, local newspaper Hallandsposten reports.

Citing several other cases, the Halmstad district court said that the man had not committed a crime. There is no general prohibition against photographing people without their consent. The same applies to people who are asleep.

The fact that other people have seen the photograph, as claimed by the prosecutor in this case, doesn’t make the incident a punishable offense either, according to the court.

The court cited a Swedish Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen) case that cleared a man who had been brought to trial for filming sexual intercourse without the consent of the woman involved.

The story above shows how absurd it would to be for the US Courts to look to “Other Nations” and “International Law” in their opinions of US Cases. Perhaps what happened in Sweden is a picture of what is coming to the US. Just Say’n !

Recently Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spoke to the issue of looking to International Law. Read about it here: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on abortion and international law

Admit it . . . This Would Be Worth Going To Jail For

Factoid: 80% of women wear the wrong size bra.

Here are five (5) signs the bra’s not right and suggestions for how to correct it.

  1. Spillage If your breasts spill over the top or sides of your bra, increase the band and/or cup size.
     
  2. Puckering If cups wrinkle or pucker, choose a smaller size.
     
  3. Riding up A bra should fit snugly. If it creeps up in the back, trade it in for one with a tighter band.
     
  4. Jutting The underwire isn’t flush against your rib cage; it should be.
     
  5. Grooves If straps dig into your flesh, try a style with wider straps or a different cup size — either bigger or smaller.

Chipmunk goes all the way IN!

So SBTV.co.uk have a section called F64 (Fresh 64 bars) and this episode is Chipmunk’s turn to deliver.

Chip does not disappoint. He has experienced a backlash from the grime scene (fans and artists) because of his commercial success; but he is too focussed to care as he hands out some laid back lyrical slaughter. With class (no names mentioned).

This gets the FRESH stamp of approval, we like.
