I Stripped Down For Nude Body Painting At Age 75 — And So Did My Husband. Here's How It Felt.

I have come to an age when dignity should reign. As an elder, I should be a model of wisdom and restraint — rather than a nude model for a body painter. Whatever possessed me?

Thanks Robert, that is interesting.

I have no plans or desire to nude model, however as I get older I am getting less body conscious. Not so worried about people seeing me partially clothed as I used to be.

I don't even want to see myself in a mirror, dressed or naked! LOL It seems my mind still thinks I am young.

What fun! Good for them.

Then you are! And I am sure you look fine in the mirror.

I admire them for being so uninhibited...must be a very freeing feeling

At this point, I’m afraid the scraping, sanding and caulking required would be worse than the actual painting.

If they really wanted to do a nude then do a nude.....don't cover it up with paint.

Not that it matters but I wonder how old hubby is? No flab there.

What a cool idea! And she is totally my new hero.

Sounds like a fun way to spend the afternoon

My thought: When it is time to wash, would colours stain the shower or tub???

 

[jujube]

There's not enough paint in the world.......

My thoughts exactly. They’d need putty as a primer first.

My boys used to play in a Brass band many years ago. There was a competition coming up in New Zealand and the band members wanted to enter. Due to lack of funds for the trip over, my husband, suggested as a fund raiser, the boys could play nude on the shores of a popular nudist beach, known as Lady Jane Beach. here in Sydney. All went well and they even got their photo on the 6pm T.V. news. They did raise quite a bit of money and they did get their trip. I have the photo to prove it. It was all done tastefully, and no parts were visible. The only other nude photo in Sydney was in a magazine with the Daly Wilson Big Band.

I'm all for nudity, but it seems like kind of a costly thing to do with it.

I did my first nude painting this morning. Can't say the neighbours were very impressed, but the front door looks really nice .

I've heard that the going trend for brides to be is getting all the women together and have a Paint and Sip Party. They hire a male model to pose nude and then the girls attempt to paint a portrait of him. The tipsier they get., the larger the appendage, A couple of my friends went to one.

is it just the cold weather that we fear with nudity or something else deep in our psyche?

sooo, is andy a heavy breather on gooy parts?

 

[davey]

I'd say at our ages give anything a go as long as it doesn't involve very fast speeds on land or sea or in bed?

My late husband used to say, "What you used to do all night, now takes you all night to do it"

 

[davey]

my wife in bed used to ask me "why have you slowed down so much" - I replied - need more time to stop and smell the daisies!!"
