Yes, I think my nude days are over - but maybe if I made myself a little bubble gum suit - I was always partial to strawberry bubble gum when I was a kid. Beechies was the brand I preferred, not Wriglys. I use to plaster gum all over things when I was young - I once booby trapped my Grandad's Valiant car by winding gum around the knobs of the window winders to catch the unwary. To me gum is a bit icky as art - it's the odours and subsequent memories it releases - like standing on gum or finding it under a desk etc. Yuk!

David,I once worked as a bumble gum tester and my fave was banana but it didn't take off. I got paid a wee pittance every time they dropped by and gave me a pack and had me fill out a survey. You sound like my uncle David with your trickery, what fun :)

Yi, I figure if I had a pool and was in hot Australia, and I have lost a few pounds I might succumb to swimming in the nude :)

Thanks Painter girl, nude drawing is one of my fave challenges, trying to get that sense of muscle and bone really keeps up the drawing skills.

Yes, even in Ohio you can go nude at nudist resorts. You know, once everyone is nude then you really don't know the differences so much. Nudists also make the best figure models.

For some reason Ed the idea of going around nude does not appeal to me. Part of it is how easily I get hives if my skin touches grass, and I have visions of splinters in my bum if I sit on a bench LOL! I like the protection clothing affords. Which is not to say I haven't enjoyed times swimming in the nude, which is a lovely experience.

Great life drawing! As painter girl said, nice lines. I like your style.

Hmm, going nude isn't really my thing either!
