Live Nudes

Live Nudes

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

Fashion Faux Pas – The Muumuu

Fashion Faux Pas – The Muumuu

It was Al Bundy on the television show Married With Children that ruined it. He burned into the American consciousness the impression that only fat women wear muumuus. In reality, the muumuu is comfortable to wear in hot weather because it hangs loosely from the shoulders, much like the roomy Hawaiian shirt for men.

I don’t want to look like a weirdo. I’ll just go with a muumuu.
Quotation from Homer Simpson, The Simpsons

I hate the supermarket. I always wind up in the two-thousand-items-or-less aisle behind some ugly lady in a muumuu and curlers.
Quotation from Al Bundy, Married With Children

The New Mrs. O

The New Mrs. O

I never have been a fan of combat pants. Sure, sometimes someone catches my attention wearing them, but it is never the pants themselves that attract me.

They tell me that it all was too rapid. That’s not true between Nicolas and me. It didn’t happen rapidly. It was immediate… I know you don’t get married in an instant and that even more, we were in the spotlight. But lovers, you know, have their own sense of time… I wished to marry him right away. I felt that with him nothing bad could happen, Nicolas isn’t addicted to power and that’s what makes him courageous. I love being with him more than anything.
Quotation from Carla Bruni, on marrying French President Nicolas Sarkozy

Behind the Scenes on Election Night. (Following the Fashion of Mrs. Obama on Mrs-O.org)

Love lasts a long time, but burning desire, two to three weeks.
Another quotation from Carla Bruni, France’s First Lady

The French President’s Lover (The New York Times) “People always secretly hate the rich and beautiful,” said Long Nguyen, the editor of Flaunt magazine.

Wearing the Chador

Wearing the Chador

Why does it matter what people wear? Our dress defines us as individuals and members
of society. It expresses who we are, to a some degree. When society mandates what is
acceptable to wear, it also limits full expression of a person’s individuality and creativity.

I have always dressed according to certain Basic Guy Fashion Rules, including: “Both of your socks should always be the same color.” Or they should at least both be fairly dark.

Re: Losing My Mind

“I’m going to get organized. I promise.”
I say that to myself daily, almost like a prayer.
Unfortunately, my good intentions get lost too.

Kansas Flip-Flops

Kansas Flip-Flops

I love small Kansas towns.
They have wide streets and no traffic.
Some are like small ghost towns.

Minutes of Glen Elder City Council Meetings (GlenElder.com)
Population: 390 in 2006 (The population was 439 in 2000)
Estimated median household income in 2005: $26,500
Estimated median house value in 2005: $38,200
Profile of Glen Elder, Kansas (city-data.com)

“We are a community of friendly, hardworking people that represent the
backbone, not only of Kansas but also America… We recognize our good
fortune in the beauty of sunsets and wheat fields, the smell of freshly tilled soil,
visiting with old friends and neighbors and the feel of a well-hooked fish.”
Quotation from Greg Linton, Mayor of Glen Elder

“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and
shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and
men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice.”
Quotation from Willa Cather, My Antonia

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORTHIE!!!
