Passport to Portraiture

I love to travel. I plan to travel to another country to fulfill a decades long dream of being a nude model. I have dreamt of being a nude model for quite some time and most people don't understand my wish. It has to do with a non sexual view of nudity. The majority of people don't get it. Most guys in the United States have a distorted view of nudity. When they see a naked woman they automatically think of sex. Well ladies. Not every guy thinks of sex the moment that they see a nude woman. I plan to travel to Australia however this time I am going for the primary purpose of posing as a nude model. Sure I want to go to the touristy places and take in the sites. I want to check 'Nude Model' off my bucket list. To check this off my bucket list in another country will be totally awesome! Stay tuned for my passport to portraiture.

When Undressed Is Well Dressed

When I consider what appropriate attire is I usually think of business casual. A Polo shirt or button down shirt with a pair of khaki pants. In Western culture that is what's considered average attire for work on Friday. But, what is considered average or normal attire for a nudist resort? If you are wearing little more than a pair of cowboy boots with a 10 gallon hat on, would you be overdressed? I suppose it depends on where you are. Which begs the question; when is undressed well dressed?

Beauty

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." This commonly referred to quote says that beauty is a subjective quality. One that is intensely personal. What is beauty? My idea of beauty is communing with nature and living in your surroundings. This includes plants, animals, and humans.

Getting back on the wagon

There is a difference between motivation and inspiration. I am doing a few things that I am motivated to do,but my inspiration wanes occasionally. One of those areas in the pursuit of the nudist lifestyle. I am still very passionate about the lifestyle, but not to the point where I plan to strip off in an effort to convert my roommates known as my family.

Black Nudism: A Historical Perspective

When I considered the lifestyle of a nudist. As an African American male I had to consider it from my perspective. Subjectively or instinctively, the tribes of Africa have been erroneously considered to be savages in the majority of the Anglo population's world view.

When did you decide that clothing was an option?

How old were you when you embraced your child hood innocence and decided that clothing was an option? Some of us were born with hair. Some of us were born with long eyelashes, but none of us were born with clothing. It's not an option. Gradually we are shamed into wearing clothing. Most of us were taught that if we weren't wearing clothing that it was dirty or shameful. Even the way that the question is framed speaks to the brainwashing that society has been subjected to. The question wasn't when did you decide that NOT wearing clothing was an option, but when did you decide that wearing clothing was an option.

Every Body Has a Story

I've heard it said that everybody has a story, every body has a story. Your scars all have their own unique history. The may tell of a bicycle accident you had as a child, surgery that you had as a teenager or childbirth as an adult.
