I would never be like Helen Hunt's character in the movie, but I agree with you it would be nice to be totally comfortable in nakedness. I love that my kids still have no qualms about parading around naked, although I know that will change soon. Great naked family memory...when my kids were younger we were visiting my Aunt and Uncle at their house in very rural Maine where they had a river behind their property. My uncle took us there then said he was going to leave, but we should all hop in for a swim, so off came th clothes and we all skinny dipped in the freezing cold water. It definitely felt a little strange, especially since it was on public land, but it was totally exhilarating too. Thanks for the good memory :-)EAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-74803515840757382692012-10-26T04:44:15.622-07:002012-10-26T04:44:15.622-07:00love the different levels of locker room exposure,...love the different levels of locker room exposure, changing clothes-yes but drying hair-no.

Good movie? <br />I am a semi-naked person (how does this compare to Tobias on Arrested Development's never-nude??) I don't mind letting a little skin show in the gym locker room but I make it my business to go ahead and get dressed before doing things like dry my hair. With a 7-year-old son hopping into our bed with great regularity, I don't think I'd be a naked sleeper, whether that was my inclination or not.Meg Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-34222436747486596132012-10-25T15:22:41.861-07:002012-10-25T15:22:41.861-07:00I actually come from a family where there was a lo...I actually come from a family where there was a lot of body shame (or however you want to say it). I consider my sense of comfort in my own skin to be an accomplishment of sorts, and I try to encourage my female relatives to feel good about themselves instead of always apologizing for, like, existing. Some years ago, I actually had a brief experience working as an art model for a school, and I found it rather freeing. No one was, like, "OMG, you're naked"—they were just trying to get their work done, and I got paid to just be still and breathe. In my day-to-day life now, though, I prefer to be covered up. Thoughts on sleeping in the nude: What if there's a fire?!Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-67381884849348723752012-10-25T14:16:09.566-07:002012-10-25T14:16:09.566-07:00Caron- so interesting that you used the work "...Caron- so interesting that you used the work "protection" I think clothes are protective in that way.

My family was covered up all the time and I believe that was a decision my parents made in response to their own childhoods in which not nudity, but inappropriate behavior on the adults' part, was a sad fact of life. I appreciate the protection and do not think they were uptight or shy. I'm more comfortable with my own nudity as I've gotten older, but not even close to the Helen Hunt neighborhood!Caronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7739675715154690483.post-34775041994177976602012-10-25T06:51:53.426-07:002012-10-25T06:51:53.426-07:00would that make you a naked-and-happy Samantha?

Nothing looks better on the body than plain old skin.<br />It's no surprise that nudity and art go hand in hand.Samantha Angelahttp://www.samanthamenzies.com/noreply@blogger.com
