The term Live Nudes confuses me. Do Xombie Nudes actually exist? Can’t one enjoy also Dead Nudes?
I’ve never seen a neon sign for Artistic Nudes, which is a shame; I’d definitely stop to see that.
Did you know the first Olympic Games were done in the nude? I wonder if the Greeks put Live Nude signs outside of their arenas and coliseums?
Mayhaps we should compromise and display signs for Live & Fully Clothed at, say, coffee houses, warehouse clubs and sporting events, to give context to the term Live Nudes. Just to be clear.
I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You’re just as free as a bird!
Quotation from Bettie Page
Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee,
As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be,
To taste whole joys.
Poem by John Donne, To His Mistress Going to Bed

I feel the same way about the term “self storage.” It makes me imagine people locking themselves — not their stuff — in storage units.
Live nudes? Never heard of that. Come to think of it, the alternative is very creepy
I can’t even think of taking off my clothes these days, it’s so damn cold!
I guess dead nudes with rotting flesh could be an aromatic nuisance.
When live nudes put on clothes are they dressed to kill?
You’re not surprised at live music, though?
The first time I worked as an artist’s model I didn’t know I was supposed to put my robe back on before hopping off the stand to go look at the drawings. That was when I learned the difference in how people react to live nudes rather than still ones.
i dunno about zombie nudes , decaying fleash and all that , but i’d go see vampire nudes hehe.
I like Bettie Page’s attitude
i’d definitely stop to see ZOMBIE NUDES…. course that’s when the running and screaming starts lol isn’t that a line from jeff goldblum in jurassic park? he’s so cute,,, it’s all ‘oooh and aaaah’ course that’s when all the running and screaming starts lolol… would i stop to live dinosaur nudes? lol not after THAT movie
LOL at the comments, especially Susan’s.
Of course, I’d see a sign like Live Nudes and wonder if it’s a given that it’s only women. What about male nudes? Both and? You’re so funny, Sera. I bet you’re a blast to be with!
To be Nude or not to be Nude, that is the question, I know that the first Olympics, the males were in the nude and do you know who watched….female priest……erm…
Don’t get me wrong, I once saw nude volleyball, why do all the fat ugly guys try it……
LOL at Ginnie, male nudes, they are chicken to do so.
You have a very interesting post, it would be great for a discussion.
Thanks for the smile.
Interesting thoughts about ‘live nudes’…had never really considered them before. You made me laugh!!!
Love the photo at the top, that’s some crazy tasty decay going on. Also like how you used the silhouette in the comic to create a sense of ambiguity about the liveness of the nudes.
You raise a good point, and zombies too…must be that back in the old days men weren’t allowed to see their wives naked, so they went to naked sports…although I’m sure they also had naked mistresses…Gosh I missed you!
that photo is SO cool! and there’s (sigh) green in it. bloody cold here in northern alberta, and all white. my feet and bum haven’t been warm since october. live nudes, live music, live theatre…. yes, one has to question, “as opposed to what? what’s the alternative?”
I once saw an animatronic stripper outside a club, trying to coax people in.
I thought I remembered something so I Googled. Look HERE.
It’s how the Olympics should be. Standard equipment for everyone:)
I have a problem with nakedness. Mostly my own.
Mayhaps. I’ll have to use that sometime.
I normally don’t go anywhere where neon signs are posted. ;-P
Hi Seraphine: Thanks for visiting my Blog–especially since it is in a weird state since BR went out of business and my Blogroll seemingly slipped off into the Arctic. Live Nudes! How funny!! Also fortuitous that I mention Kate Hudson on my blog and stop over here to see “Live Nudes”! My sides hurt from laughing!!!
) xoxo
i know! first thing i do when i wake up in the morning is roll over and kiss sparky on the nose
i’m sorry that commenting is so complicated, i thought everything about posterous was drop dead simple…. i’m glad you found out how and hope others don’t have the same trouble…. btw i’m a live nude while i’m commenting here :p
well i don’t think you can subscribe to the posterous site, it’s only for other posterous members, you can only subscribe to the RSS feed, i don’t know if you did that on my other sites, but it should be the same process here… i’m sorry sister, don’t click beside the yellow ‘P’ haha that sounds funny… click beside the RSS icon
salvador diablo says the bubble works for him and that you should use firefox
very nice image, very cool effect
These places always creep me out, mostly because they don’t look sexy at all…
I tried to go into one of those ‘live nudes’ places but the bouncer told me ‘No shirt no shoes no enter’. I left in confusion and then put my clothes back on.
LOL i think i look better with clothes on
Thats a fabulous image Sera and a wonderful wonderful post:) Be well!
That neon sign brought back memories of growing up in Montreal. St. Catherine street used to have lots of them – that and posters and peep shows right next to the arcades.
It has cleaned up a lot since the 70s and 80s.
