Truth in Packaging? Actual versus “the spin”? Raw versus “socialized”? Or, maybe, some people just look better clothed than naked? Or, maybe the reverse? For every high fashion-type loose on a runway, there are many others who probably look way better UNdressed.
I should explain–as artist and fitness nut–I spend a lot of time interacting with naked people. Where? In gym change rooms every morning. In “life drawing” studios (where I regularly draw nude models).
Case in point: the model for my last drawing session was a 60-year-old male body builder with heavy-looking silver nipple and penis rings. This guy was an aesthetic celebration for an artist. Every muscle and tendon was defined, and his poses strong and versatile! The point: no way would I have known, had this man been “dressed,” how well-defined, well-hung, and well, “interesting” he must be.
A 60-year-old with nipple and penis rings? There’s a story there for sure!
