What Would You Do For A Klondike Bar?

or a photographer?

I was on Instagram the other day and saw this photo posted by Dennis.

To say the least I was a bit intrigued.  So...I went to the website and then to the blog and saw more photos of Dennis and more of Dennis. 

I think it's great that Dennis is comfortable enough to pose for a photographer.  I have too many insecurities to do something like that and I guess I am a bit jealous, or envious is probably the better word, of people like him, Model Warren and Derek Yates who do pose for the camera.  My hat is off to all of you!

Photos of Dennis can be found on the blog of Men In Monochrome.  I must warn you, some of the photos are NSFW.

Nude Recreation Week

I never knew this but the week after July 4th (Independence Day) is Nude Recreation Week. In fact, this year marks the 32nd Annual event! Who knew?

You are encouraged to take it all off at a beach near you. The Naturist Society would like for you to do yard work, household chores, conference calls, and exercise—in nothing but your birthday suit.
OK. Can we back up a bit here? Going nude on the gym floor at LeFittes will get me kicked out. Trust me. There are some people that I don't want to see nude...not even in the lockerroom.
Running nude at Memorial Park will get me arrested and thrown in the pokey. Plus it might be a bit uncomfortable running 3 miles in nothing but a pair of running shoes.
Yard work? I don't do yard work. Just because I have a Mexican last name doesn't mean I do yard work.

Household chores? Hmmm. Probably shouldn't fry bacon in the nude.

Anywho. If I had a body like some of these folks, I might consider going to a nude beach. I don't. And I won't.

If you decide to shake what your momma gave you and celebrate Nude Recreation Week, I wish you a week full of happiness (and stay away from the Poison Ivy)!

P.S. Remember on Designing Women when they were explaining the difference between being naked and nekkid? It is something like this...naked is when you don't have on any clothes and nekkid is when you don't have on any clothes and you get caught doing something.

Singing In The Rain (nude)

OK. So you're the Austrian national rugby team and you lose 48-0 to the team from Lithuania. Humiliating? Yes.

So what do you do to forget the loss? You stand outside, sing Singing In The Rain, and strip off your clothes.

Portions of this clip are NSFW (Not Safe For Work).


BTW...Singing In The Rain is one of my favorite movies. So much so that when Krewe of Olympus did the Hollywood Ball, I chose Singing In The Rain as my costume. And I was fully clothed.
