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.
