The Naked Truth

Hello again, Devotees. Cheers from the Great Green Recliner at the Center of the Universe! In this monoblogue I want to get down to the naked truth.
Specifically, the naked truth of female nudity.
The nude female form is by far the most depicted in art throughout history. It is standard practice for students of art to draw, paint, or sculpt the naked woman. Every art gallery contains many famed paintings that include nude females. Famous religious works depict women in the nude, or at least bare breasted, and are shown without censor. And yet we live in a puritanical society that vegges out the moment a nipple is flashed across the screen, be it planned or accidental.
Oh...My...GOD!
What is wrong with a society that panics at the sight of nudity. Are we not all born in the nude? Are we not made in His image? Adam and Eve were created and set upon the Earth in the nude. Does this not mean that Man's given form is therefore the form God Himself wants us to bare. If we are indeed created in His form, then God must also be free of restricting garb. Why would God need clothes, anyhow?
The most beautiful form in nature is that of a nude, young woman. Magazines throughout the world depict the beauty of woman in all her nudity. Playboy, Penthouse, Maxim, National Geographic, People, all of them show women in glorious, naked beauty.
Every year, every major magazine throws out its "Best Dressed" or "Top Beauties" or "Most Beautiful" or "Swim Suit" editions. Lists are made ranking the most beautiful women, be they actors, singers, models, what have you. Man is obsessed with beautiful women, and a nude woman is by far the most beautiful vision of that woman. What's so wrong about that?
Women the world over strive for beauty with creams, make-ups, clothing, spas, etc. They want to be as beautiful as possible to impress men, and other women. If they could, I am sure they would, expose themselves in all their birthday glory to show the world the extent of their beauty. Too bad they get arrested if they do it in the USA. Europe leads us in this area, by far. Nude woman advertise soaps on billboards, shampoo on the TV, and are the objects of victory in gameshows over there. British papers have a daily nude within their pages. We scream for God's salvation if too much hip is shown on a sit-com. Geez. Get real people.
I love naked women. I enjoy drawing. For the most part, I draw nude or nearly nude women. I find the hours spend at my desk relaxing. The details you discover within the nude female form when describing it to paper with pencil are awesome. I have drawn girlfriends, wives of friends, strippers, and popular women from TV and film. I have sold some in the past, though now I keep them in my "Blue Book", a collection of drawings I've told I want buried with me. The complex, soft curves of the naked female form is the most enjoyable to draw. Shadows define the form. A miscue of the pencil can change an expression from lustful to mournful. A stray shadow can add ten pounds to a figure, or raise her cup size.
I often look for different poses for a subject. I look for a pose that will accept the figure of the woman. Some women just can't give a good over-the-shoulder pose, for example. Some look much better standing than lying down. Differing backgrounds or props add to the picture. I have done some very simple drawings, with nothing but the nude woman standing. I have done some very complex drawings with tractors, race cars, swimming pools, and barns for backgrounds. I have done fur coats, lacey underwear, and chains adorning the girl. Sometimes I find I've spent more time on the props than on the nude herself!
The naked female form is not to be hidden from the admiring eyes of man. Men and women alike find something about the nude beauty of a woman enticing. We love all women in some special way. It's in our nature. To admire beauty is not sinful, but holy. God created beauty, not Satan. To admire beauty, nudity, and sexuality, is what God wants. Beauty may only be skin deep, but God crafted that skin.
Go out, admire a woman for her beauty, and thank God for the gifts that give us the ability to recognize the differences between nude women and a pile of dog crap.
And if you don't have one handy, go out and buy a magazine.
Take care and enjoy the beauty.
