What do you say to a naked lady?

“love what you’ve done to your hair!” evil giggle

anyway, if i’m in the presence of a naked or semi-naked person, i instinctively avert my eyes. however, i’ve taken a lot of drawing classes involving nude models, so it’s out of politeness that i avert my eyes. i find it rude to stare, and even if i’m curious to see what the other person looks like, i don’t want to get caught peeking!

i’m not offended by female nudity any more, but i have some serious body issues of my own. in junior and senior high, i changed in the bathroom stalls most of the time, even if i was just changing my pants (though in 11th grade i had a friend in the class so i just changed my pants with the other so we could talk). i just finished my first year of college (bah humbug), and during the entire year, if my roommate was in the room, i’d change in the closet. i just don’t want people looking at me, basically. i’m accepting my body more and more, it just feels weird changing with other people around. i know that at 19 i’m supposed to have body issues, but this is ridiculous!

What do you say to a naked lady?

When I was young, it would have been ‘WHA–HOOOOO!’

In my late 20s it would have been "Come in my dear!’

In my late 30s and early 40s, it would have been, “Can I help you?”

Now, at 50, it probably would be, ‘Are you lost? Do you have the right address? Can I get you a robe? Should I call the police?’

Omnivore, your responses cracked me up! And it reminded me of a joke:

Mildred and Gladys thought life in their retirement community was getting mighty dull, so after one too many glasses of sherry, they decided to streak. They passed Al and Herb who were sitting on a bench, chatting in the sun. Al turned to Herb and asked, “Was that Mildred and Gladys?”
“Yep.”
“What were they wearing?”
Herb paused to consider. “I don’t know, but it sure needed ironing.”
