...wearing nothing is divine
naked is a state of mind
i take things off to clear my head
to say the things i haven`t said
i live inside my elements
the earth and sky are my best friends
water is the evidence
that washes me from end to end...
first verse of track #1, "naked eye," on Luscious Jackson`s latest CD |

"For my exercise video, we had this big wooden podium
set up in the middle of Saline Beach, and I would do all the exercises, and
it would end up that the people on vacation there on the beach would do the
exercises with me for fun. Then, at the end of the day, we would take off
all of our clothes and go running into the water." Claudia Schiffer, American Way Magazine, Dec 1 1996 |

"Around my house clothing is optional, and shoes in particular, seem to have a
hard time staying on my children. As I sit here in this swanky hotel room in a
Bob Marley T-Shirt and a pair of jeans with my bare feet dangling over an
antique desk putting off the time until I have to get up & get dressed to go to
dinner, I wonder where my children get this aversion to clothing & footwear?"
Jimmy Buffett, Barometer Soup Insert |

"A child who has never been allowed to see his parents and brothers and
sisters naked sees nudity as something shocking." - Dr. Helga Fleischhauer-Hardt, Show Me (New York: St. Martin`s Press, 1975). |

"Being natural and matter-of-fact about nudity prevents your children
from developing an attitude of shame or disgust about the human body.
If parents are very secretive about their bodies and go to great
lengths to prevent their children from ever seeing a buttock or
breast, children will wonder what is so unusual, and even alarming,
about human nudity." - Dr. Lee Salk, Psychiatrist, (from an article in McCall`s Magazine, June 1976). |

"If [the topless females] were violating any other rules, like sitting on a
subway bench topless smoking a cigarette, then we would take
action." - New York Transit Authority |

As he said in Machiavel, omnes eodem patre nati, Adam`s sons, conceived
all and born in sin, etc. "We are by nature all as one, all alike, if
you see us naked; let us wear theirs
and they our clothes, and what is the difference?" - Robert Burton. 1576-1640. |

"Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue." - John Kenneth Galbraith |

"To reduce the accumulation of static electricity, you must increase
the humidity, change or get rid of the carpeting, or both. Although
a small room-sized humidifier may help, these steps are often too
expensive to be practical. A less expensive (and correspondingly
less effective) step is to avoid wearing leather-soled shoes or
clothes made of synthetic fibers. (If possible, compute in the
nude.) Weather or not you take any of these steps, you should still
touch metal to dissipate the static charge before you touch the
computer or a disk." - From the book "Supercharging MS-Dos" by Microsoft Press, 3rd Ed., pg. 393, under the section "Static Electricity Is A Killer" |

"I come from a country where you don`t wear clothes most of the year. Nudity
is the most natural state. I was born nude and I hope to be buried nude." - Elle MacPherson, Australian model and actress. |

"We find that relaxing with clothes off at Elysium Fields is a great tension reliever, for ourselves and
our kids too." - actress Lynn Redgrave |
