Yesterday we held Granny’s Interment. My Uncle is visiting from the US and it was really important that we all gathered together to say goodbye. Yes it was two years ago, but she is finally home now. it was a joyous celebration of who she was and a chance for us to share stories and talk about her wonderful, crazy life.

I organized the music. it was wonderful remembering the music that she loved, like MacArthur Park- because despite her many talents my Granny couldn’t cook. and Jonathan Livingston Seagull which she adored. she loved the story of a seagull who wanted to do more, soar higher than ever before.

this post is a tribute to her memory. I’m glad to have had the chance to say goodbye, and thankyou for making me the artist I am today.

This woman has buttocks, but no dividing line.

You can see where the heal tool was used, and you know that even with some shapes there is no way that this woman was born without a buttcrack.

In Japan, anime with nude breasts can be shown on any channel at anytime- providing the nipples are removed.

In many countries the tiniest bikini (an inch covering the butt and nipples) is enough to satisfy propriety while nudity or g-strings aren’t.

The details, it seems, must be covered or removed.

This makes me wonder. Is it the breast that’s “offensive” or is it the nipple? Are buttocks a problem or just the crack? Why are they offensive? Is it because the are the functional part of that zone? Or because they are the defining characteristics of those dodgy areas? If nipples are the offender then why are men’s acceptable?

Consider this an open forum, I want to hear your thoughts on these questions!

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to new years resolutions, why we create them and what they do to us. Last year I had several blog posts worth. Did I achieve them all? No, sometimes because the scope was too huge, and sometimes because as the year went on they lost relevance or new things came up that changed the game.

This year I am trying a completely different tack. I am shunning my old standby the list and going with a single new years resolution:

Identify opportunities and seize them

Last year I started to see how powerful this could be. I took a massive step forward in my career mindset just by being open to new opportunities. I liked it so much I want to dedicate my year to this single premise. And the best thing is that this doesn’t just refer to work, everything is an opportunity waiting to be seized.

What opportunities will you seize in 2012?

to be nude is to feel at one with your surroundings and comfortable with your natural self.. to be naked is to feel the cold and loneliness and fear …

Scott on what is the difference between nude and naked?

We did extensive test marketing and truly believe that the public has an insatiable desire for this particular body part. After years of predominately featuring younger actresses going nude, the baby boom generation is excited to see a vagina it can relate to

Amy Pascal

His drawings of the male nude are incredibly sensual. You get the feeling of his hand all over the body. If all we knew about Michelangelo was his drawings, he would still be hailed as a genius.

Hugo Chapman

A lot of people in California garden in the nude, but there are naturists all over the country.

Jay North

Nude drawing and nude painting is where you learn the balance of forces and the balance of thrusts.

Walter W. Wada

I’d do a nude scene for world peace or if I were facing some serious jail time, but I’m also a sucker for a good bottle of wine and candlelight.
