​It's been a very long time since i posted something. You know the usual crap. Mostly it has been due to injuries and being stuck in one place. I won't bore you with details.
Summer, yeah, that's rapidly approaching yeah. Memorial Day is just around the corner. Yikes!
Well, I love it. It seems like the drab and cool days of winter won't let go. It's snowing here for goodness sake!!!
One of my friends in Sarasota FL. has been working out, hard and steady. She has been swimming and running for the last 7 months to be able to strut that body of hers this Summer. She promises that "this year" is the year she will share her topless pictures with us. She had the chance to visit one of her best friends in New York, where she was exposed to the topless women in Central Park and other locations. She has an "Ah-ha" moment and realized that no one, or almost no one cared.
She finally realized that her body is just as wonderful as those anywhere.
I enjoy the freedom of clothes as soon as the weather turns toasty and nice. It really saves me in laundry, water, soap and more than anything, I'm comfortable in the confines of my home.
One of my very best friends, just a couple of years ago was fiercely against nudity; let alone in public. Now, she enjoys that warm breeze on her skin, the total freedom from restrictive clothing and the benefit of total comfort.

So, this summer try to be kind to yourself and go "free", Free from clothing, free from what others think and free to be yourself. But please, exercise good and sound judgment!!
Remember that unfortunately  we live in a self-frighten, litigious and politically correct society who goes out of their way to get offended. Be cautious and use lots of sun cream!

I'll be working on posting images....finally!

BTW. Does anyone know if it is OK to re-post Tumblr images on a website? Just trying to keep it legal and safe.

* if the image above is yours and you do not want it to be use on this site. Please, let me know and I'll credited or take it down. Thank you.

Ahh The Naked Life!

Yeah. It has been quite a while since I've posted something new. You know. Complications, bills, shit... in short... life!

Anyway. It's the dog days of Summer. HOT!!!!
As you know, I like to live my life in a comfortable way. I dislike wearing heavy clothing, specially in the middle of the day when the sun is high up in the sky and the afternoon just seems to get hotter. I like to feel the breeze and the freshness of water on me. Man, I should be living in Florida!

Anyway, I like to peel everything off as often as I can. I think it is healthy and most of all comfortable! All within the limits of the law of course. I wouldn't like to take a trip to the county jail only wearing a frown and cuffs!
But, having said that. I think it is sad that we still considered our BODIES to be sinful and dirty. WTF.

Have fun, share the fun with those like minded people. Use sun screen, common sense and be mindful of those who go out of their way to be offended...by you!

October - Breast Health

10/2/2015

Well, here it is again, October!!!!

The year just seem to float right by us. We get caught in the stresses of everyday living and forget that certain things are very important to do.

Luckily someone, devised a method for all us to remember certain, very important things.
So October was designated a Breast cancer awareness month among other things. Oktoberfest  in one. It's also one of my best friend's birthday month. geez.

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure I didn't neglect this month. This is basically the genesis of this site. To preserve and protect those wonderful assets.

I have included a link to a Self Exam site that I think will help in the process of eliminating this horrible disease.
http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/breasthealth/ht/breastselfexam.htm

There are of course, a myriad of sites and information based videos that will help a woman check herself. I believe also, that if you are a couple, that's something that both of you should participate and practice together.

Porn yeah, nakedness...no way!?

I just spent a couple of days with some friends. You know, talking about everything under the sun.
Or course, the topic of naked people always comes up in conversation, just like politics and religion. I'd rather talk about nudity or with nude people by the way.

In any case. The subject of nudity in entertainment came up and as expected, there were opinions in every direction. But, what caught my attention was the fact that this one guy, who LOVES his porn (hard core) to the point of bragging how much he knows about it, how many DVDs he owns, names, cities, years, titles etc. But, he will flee from a room or will be bothered or upset if a nude guy may be present?!?!

I supposed, I know that every person has a "gauge" level where their sensibilities top off. A line in the sand if you will; when it comes to certain issues. But, how does it fit, for a person who obviously enjoys watching other people have sex on screen, be offended or sensitive if a real person happens to be nude around him?
My  grey matter is not able to properly fit that in a box.

I guess I could come up with a myriad of guesses, but they will be only that, guesses.

You never know, what really lies beneath some people's hoods.

Ahhh Summer, Water and Swimsuits....NO!!!!

I know, it is only the 4th week of January; but we're already starting to look forward to longer days, warmer nights and less clothing. That's right, less clothing.

The other night while having dinner with some friends, the topic of Summer came up; from going to Airshows, wearing shorts and t-shirts to going to the beach and beachwear.  All was going just fine, until the dreaded "swimsuit" issue came up. I didn't realized that for some people, specially women, this is a BIG deal and furthermore a very touchy subject. Specially for one of my most favorite friends on the planet, Melisa.
She is an adorable person in just about every sense of the word. The woman is fascinating and a blast to be around. But, a fiery repulsiveness to be seen in public in less than long sleeve shirts, jeans and long skirts become fighting words. I know, I found out about it!

I suspect she's not the only one who feels this way. In fact I know she's not alone on this self imposed commandment.

I've always felt curious to seeing individuals in the middle of 100° day at the peak of Summer, wearing heavy shirts, long pant and even sweat pants and layers of clothing, even at the local swimming  pools. Why?!

My answer came that night with my friend Melisa. She does not like her body.
That blew me away, since she has a pretty face, nice hair, very attractive bust line and average built. I know that body acceptance is a big deal for everyone. Including yours truly. But, she has come to believe, that her's in particular is not at all good enough to be ever be seen in public. That  made me very sad.

I supposed that somewhere, somehow, long ago, some one  came along and made a rude comment. Or,  maybe a simple  gaze in the mirror didn't reflect the same image found on a fashion magazine. I don't know. But whatever the catalyst was that cemented the idea in her head that she was not "good-enough", stuck.
I assured her, that her beautiful face, personality and shape were pleasing and perfectly good enough not only to be at the beach but here, in these pages. The only response I got was an even more determined resolved to not do it.
Yup, time to back away!

Sure, I understand that sometimes flattery and adulation can be perceived as a self serving tool, specially coming from a "guy". But in her case, there's much more than that. She truly, is uncomfortable with herself.

I wonder how many perfectly, fantastic women out there,  who are going thru similar circumstances. How many, good times, dreams and even relationships are going unfulfilled because of a miss-perception of oneself?

Body image is a powerful tool. It dictates how we move in society, how we maneuver in day to day living; Sometimes preventing us from living.

I love my friend and I can only hope that her wall, will someday give way to her full glorious self.

Work in Progress

Yup. this is definitely a work in progress. Specially, while trying to find great images to populate the site. I don't want to just copy and paste the thousands of images floating out there. I want to find the real women who like, enjoy themselves.

While working with some models in photography, I have come across individuals who aren't comfortable with themselves or who clearly dislike or even hate who they are. Yikes!

The quest goes on to find happy, lovely and nude models.....

Insulting Breasts?

1/20/2015

10 Comments

 
I was recently at a restaurant with a great friend of mine, enjoying everyday topics and making small talk just about anything under the sun. As we sat there and the hours passed, a couple of women, maybe middle aged, walked in and took a table not far from ours.
We continued our conversation, sometimes louder trying to make ourselves understood over the gigantic screen, playing the last NLF game at a loud volume. Then, you know, there's that 5 minute low in every conversation. It was then when we could overhear the two ladies discussing the topic of breastfeeding in public.

Needles to say, that topic caught my attention. I was intrigued as to where did these two women stood on the subject.

I live in a very conservative part of the country and I'm not really used to ear that topic, being discussed in that much open forum.

One  of the women was clearly agitated that "these women" as she put it, had the Gaul to exposed themselves in public. She was mortified by the thought of any part of herself being exposed under any circumstances. The other lady, seemed more pragmatic about the issue. She said that when she breastfed for the first time, she too, was embarrassed and very self conscious about it. Then when her second child came, she was more open when breast feeding in front of other members of her family, Now that she was on her third child, she said that she's no longer concern about who's around. That her child is her priority and when she's hungry she will feed her on the spot.

My friend and I had a second discussion about the same topic. Echoing pretty much the 2nd lady's sentiments.

The first lady was clearly  annoyed that her friend could be so casual about what she considered to be a very, very private affair. And she also expressed that if her son was hungry, she would give him a small bottle and let him wait until a more appropriate location was found.
Somehow that conversation expanded to all breasts in general. Apparently, our lady number one, was clearly against any breast, any nipple or a hint of a cleavage being exposed for the benefit of any "perv" as she stated.
"The mere sight of a mother flipping a boob out offends me" she said.

There's that word "Offend". I believe that people will go out of their way to get "offended". You will hear me say that over again and cringe about the particulars.

The second woman pretty much stood by her opinion and tried to move the conversation to a different topic; but woman number one was already too invested in her position and wanted to be clearly understood. Their meal ended and they left.

As my friend and I sat there, contemplating their conversation I began to ask some questions of myself.

Why are boobs, so insulting to some people? Women no less.

In these days of social "enlightenment" and forced upon politically correct ideas, why haven't we, all, embraced our humanity?
Why can't we be ourselves and find the beauty that we are?

Why does the mere sight of a beautiful boob, stir so much fuzz and negative response within some of us?

I was surprised at the attitude of the first woman. She claim that she was not a conservative and couldn't understand why her friend who apparently was a conservative would do such a thing. The second lady simply said that because she had conservative ideals, she view the whole breastfeeding issue as a normal, natural and proper thing to do.

I think it has nothing to do with being a conservative or not. I believe it has to do with mental well being. A person who enjoys life, has respect for others but also has a great respect for her/him self will view a natural event and cherish it.
I believe that being ashamed of what has been given to us, is a powerful tool of ignorance and bigotry.

Why should we continued to be offended about an exposed tit, when murders, Jihads, intolerance and random acts of horror and human degradation abound?
Why should we be mortified and put out, that a child is having his meal or that so and so, dared to show her assets, when on the other side of the planet children are starving to death and some women are being tortured and killed just for being women?

Respect and appreciation YES. Fear and ignorance NO!
