sexiest dress up

Sometimes it as hard being a naturist in society, it would be easier to simply conform, dress at all times, shut up and merge into the background. But if you wish to be yourself, live a life you feel is honest and harmless to others but different from everyday life, it takes a bit of nerve.
In The Spiral Staircase, Karen Armstrong wrote:-
"The great myths show that when we follow somebody else's path, you go astray. The hero has to set off by himself, leaving the old world and the old ways behind. He must venture into the darkness of the unknown, where there is no map and no clear route. He must fight his own monsters, not somebody else's, explore his own labyrinth, and endure his own ordeal before he can find what is missing in his life. Thus transfigured, he or she can bring something of value to the world that has been left behind.  But if the knight finds himself riding along an already established track, he is simply following in somebody else's footsteps, and will not have an adventure."
In this text, Karen Armstrong is talking about God or at least religious beliefs, but her ideas apply equally well to life in general.
In The Spiral Staircase, she describes in detail the pain and transformation she experienced moving from the religious life to one where her intellect was trusted to provide a better picture of life, the universe and everything. In her convent years, she was expected to conform to very strict rules and codes of conduct, if she did not, the consequences were unpleasant. The hoped for result was for a truer experience of God, but for her at least, this never materialised.
It is easy to follow others, it saves the effort of thinking. It also helps those who lack confidence. To stand by your own ideas takes courage and effort. In The Mind as Nature, Loren Eiseley wrote "Like the herd animals we are, we sniff warily at the strange one among us.".
Along the same lines, Rudyard Kipling wrote:-
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
This idea is supported by others who have struggled to be themselves, one such was E. E. Cummings, the US born poet, who said:-
"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ".
It is a struggle, but should not be. I was born that way.

In March 5, 1935, the then head of the Catholic Church, Pope Pius XI said “The paganized life of today affects all open and attentive eyes, a life so specifically, so paganly dedicated to pleasure and the search for pleasure. It is a life so specifically wanton, it’s wantonness surpasses on many occasions that of the ancient pagan life. It is called – with a horrible word and with horrible blasphemy – the cult of nudity.”
In 1981, Cardinal Karol Woytyla, later Pope John Paul II, said "The human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve intact its splendour and its beauty. Nakedness as such is not to be equated with physical shamelessness. Immodesty is present only when nakedness plays a negative role with regard to the value of the person.The human body is not in itself shameful. Shamelessness (just like shame and modesty) is a function of the interior of a person." He also said "Because God created it the human body can remain nude and uncovered and preserve its splendour and its beauty."
With the two views being diametrically opposed, a minimum of one of them is wrong. Need I say more?
Thanks to Allnudist for flagging up the 1935 quote.

Is the naked body beautiful, aesthetically pleasing or is the opposite true, is the naked body ugly? A very good friend of mine thinks so, she said "nude, people are just not pretty".

Exactly what is beautiful or aesthetic is directly linked to conditioning, each society and time has its own idea of what is or what is not beautiful. In the past, artists would paint their ideal nude figures with somewhat more body fat than we are used to now. In times or areas of poverty and food shortages, a fatter person would be considered more successful, they would not understand the current size zero craze.

It is hard to understand why anyone would think that with the exception of a few of "the beautiful people", we are all so ugly that covering at all times is required and to run the risk of prosecution if we do not. If we were to follow the line of eugenics, the deliberate breeding of "the beautiful people", perhaps the idea would change, but I doubt it. In any case, such a scheme is universally recognised as being evil, quite right to.

Should someone with a facial disfigurement be forced to cover up their face because they do not conform to the idea of the beautiful people? Of course not, the very idea is repugnant. My mum suffered from just that problem. Although most people were kind and did their best to understand her very difficult speech, she did come across a few really nasty people who stared, made fun of her or simply gave up trying. It was deeply hurtful, but the person inside was the same beautiful mum as she was before her operation. This rings true with naturism, it is always a few vociferous people who make trouble, most people do not object to nudity where people currently wear swimsuits. www.savingfaces.co.uk

In the view of many naturists it is not acceptable to be forced to dress in circumstances where dress is not needed. It should be just as unacceptable as if my mum was forced to cover up her face.

Jennifer Lopez's face has been featured on the cover of a beauty book.

The stunning actress was snapped especially for make-up artist Scott Barnes'

new book About Face which is based on how to transform yourself and look like a film star.

Jennifer, 40, has worked with the beauty mogul for over 10 years and he even travelled with her when she worked on her latest movie, The Back-Up Plan.

His new book will be launched in two versions - one for the US and one for Britain. The US version contains the tag line "Amazing transformations using the secrets of the top celebrity make-up artist" on the cover.

Jennifer - who the make-up maestro has previously called his "muse" - has posed elegantly for the two front pages. The US version shows her sporting natural cosmetics with her hair tied up, while on the British pictures her with hair dramatically blowing away from her face.

Jennifer also wrote the foreword for the book.

Last night, Jennifer dressed up in a classic black strapless Louis Vuitton dress for the exclusive launch at Club Provocateur, inside New York's Hotel Gansevoort.

She looked stunning as she helped Scott promote his latest work.

The pair was joined by fashion designer Christian Siriano and former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland.

skin whitening (also called skin bleaching)

Fruits

Many fruits have skin whitening effect when they are eaten or scrubbed on skin. The leading fruit is papaya, wherein its enzyme papain can lighten the skin. Other notable fruits are lemon, lime, calamondin, and orange; all of these have Vitamin C which is said to have a skin whitening effect

Steve Gough is in prison for being naked in public and has been on and off for seven years. Although arrested in England and released, when he walked naked in Scotland he was arrested and re-arrested several times. Currently he is in solitary confinement as he refuses to wear clothes in prison.
Steve has stated quite clearly, he is not a naturist but he does insist that there is nothing wrong with being naked, so there are common ideas. In recent times he has been quite controversial, discussions on the net, TV and radio have become very polarised, even heated. There is no agreement on whether he helps the naturist cause or not.
It seems to me that there is a clear difference between what is against the law and what should be against the law and that many people confuse the two. I am as guilty of that as any other. Not being a lawyer, I cannot say if the courts were right or not from a legal point of view, the problem being compounded because the law in Scotland is different from that in England. (Outsiders, especially those in the USA, see us as "The UK" but fail to see we have started down the road to complete separation of the two countries and have different laws. A shame, but true.)
The key point is this, is it right to have him in solitary confinement, possibly for the rest of his life because he was naked and caused a breech of the peace? Quite clearly, the answer is no.
For any offence, the punishment should be proportionate and this is not. It is time the police and the courts paid attention to more important issues. Why are they so frightened by a peaceful nude man? When I met him a few years ago, he did not frighten me.
