British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife posed naked for the artist Euan Uglow when she was an unknown lawyer-in-training in her mid-20s.

Was she naked under the burka?

Don't tell anyone . . . beneath my sweater, jeans, and underclothes, I am totally BUCK NEKKID.

You have a problem with artists depicting nudes? Why would someone who posed for an artist be any less of a lady?

I saw more differences than similarities so I never understood what he was driving at.

You wrote, "What kind of "lady" poses nude for a picture?"

You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're kidding.

Comments like that make my head hurt.

As it happens, the body of work I'm developing for exhibition is focused upon the female nude. Since models are expensive, I go to the Indianapolis Arts Center every Sunday and draw life models, who happen to be men and women of every age, shape, and description. They also happen to be unclothed so that artists don't need to guess at the human form. It would be some surprise to the female models--most of whom I know personally--that they aren't ladies.

Believe it or not, posing nude within an artistic context, as Mrs. Blair did, is a nonsexual act.

No, I;m NOT kidding....I believe in modesty...period.

[Suzy Quzy]

Good grief.....what about their children and their children's FRIENDS,and others and then their grandchildren seeing them nude? Geesh. Who buys nude paintings of real people anyway???

[Suzy Quzy]

You truly are an idiot...I'm talking CURRENTLY.

[Suzy Quzy]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!! Then why isn't EVERYONE nude to praise God?

[fragrant abuse]

So it's ok to pose nude as long as you died a couple of centuries ago?

[Larry Lucido]

I answer your question and you reply with an ad hominem?

I already know. :-D

[Suzy Quzy]

OK...who are those women?? Were they "ladies"?

[Suzy Quzy]

I didn't say that either.

[Larry Lucido]

If they go around calling people "idiots," they're definitely not ladies.

I did some nude modeling in college. $15 bucks an hour under the table from the art department for three hours a week of standing around in the buff, and it was a great incentive to keep going to the gym.

[Finger Monkey]

um

Some people don' like paintings on velvet of dogs playing cards.

[Finger Monkey]

No, Xena!

Say it ain't so!

If you dont think your children are old enough to see it, don't show it to them. I don't think an artistic painting of a naked person is going to hurt anyone. The human body is a beautiful glorious thing. Artistically rendered, even more beautiful. I don't suppose you ever took an art appreciation class or have gone to a good museum without blushing?
