Hi, looking forward to being part of The Hip Forums. I've been a home naturist for many years grabbing opportunities to be outside whenever possible. I work as a life model when I have time and can find a club or artist to work with. I'm more relaxed when naked and hate the restriction of clothes in the summer - when we have one!!
Life modelling is a relaxing pass time, gives you plenty of time to think and is very liberating. The artists are all very genuine, friendly people and are happy to draw or paint the model regardless of shape, size, lumps and bumps! It also helps with self confidence - I wasn't sure I could pose in front of a bunch of strangers but as soon as I dropped my robe in a class of nearly 40 artists, I immediately felt at ease. It does get a little cool in winter but the tutor normally has the heating on or provides an electric heater so I end up being the warmest person there.
