Americans and Nudity

with 2 comments

being dutch, my mama as well as my aunts have no shame. i’ve grown up seeing them naked about the house as though it was normal. my aunt monique is more than willing to show you her rack, even if you don’t ask. the question here is – does everyone *want* to see us naked? probably not. i’m sure it depends. though, having little shame myself, i wouldn’t mind being naked in my garden…

Why Are Americans Afraid of Being Naked?
In the Netherlands people can be naked in their gardens, the beach and recently
the gym. But in America, even chocolate sculptures can’t be without clothes.
What gives?
Legally, in Netherlands people are allowed to be naked anywhere except public
roads or when they annoy others, a law in play since 1986.

Furniture for Lunatics

with one comment

i would love a chair like this, especially in pink a light installation would be key for reading, which i would spend a lot of time doing if i were blessed with such cool furniture.
