nudity Tank i would hereby like to propose that everyone is naked at all times. no, it's not because i want to see your dangly bits, it's because if no-one wore clothes, then i wouldn't be sitting here very nearly crying about how my tour merchandiser can so hideously, totally and completely fuck up every single item they have made for me. first date of sale - tonight, boston... 001004 ... girl_jane Are my thoughts of it really that bad? I wouldn't strip, and I wouldn't pose or participate in porn of any sort. I would be nude in a show such as Hair-where the nudity isn't all about the sex-and it isn't ME in front of the crowd-it's the character. The body, my body, is still mine. I show it when I want to, and that is still very rare. But does the fact that I would be nude on stage-tastefully-does that bother you? Would you feel like it wasn't as special if I let you see? If I let you see, you would see *me*-not me being somebody else. And don't you realize that you'd have so much more of me than anybody else... I've written other places-I may have given my body, but I have yet to give my heart. 030301 ... anythingbutcryptic again. and its natural to be nude, but people still stare. i think im going crazy. and ill never be famous, all those lovely people out there trying to be famous and we're ignoring reality. warhol was wrong. i dont want to sell myself. but i sell myself anyway. and i long for touch and that time we talked on the phone for hours and everything you said made me breathless, it was so perfect, you were so perfect, it was like a movie, maybe i shouldve seen it coming but i didnt and when it happened i was breathless again but this time choking with distress, disgust. and all those words i whispered and thought and dreamt, all sucked down the plug hole and you with it. i deleted all traces of you, like something whole gone mouldy. and after that you didnt mean anything much, i suppose. it was so easy to eradicate you from now, but you'll always be in then. and ill remember forever. later, ill remember less and then ill be able to smile. until then, i can only sigh. say these words. civilisation is repression of instincts. i want to be naked. why wont you let me be naked? 080316 ... anythingbutcryptic again. and its natural to be nude, but people still stare. i think im going crazy. and ill never be famous, all those lovely people out there trying to be famous and we're ignoring reality. warhol was wrong. i dont want to sell myself. but i sell myself anyway. and i long for touch and that time we talked on the phone for hours and everything you said made me breathless, it was so perfect, you were so perfect, it was like a movie, maybe i shouldve seen it coming but i didnt and when it happened i was breathless again but this time choking with distress, disgust. and all those words i whispered and thought and dreamt, all sucked down the plug hole and you with it. i deleted all traces of you, like something whole gone mouldy. and after that you didnt mean anything much, i suppose. it was so easy to eradicate you from now, but you'll always be in then. and ill remember forever. later, ill remember less and then ill be able to smile. until then, i can only sigh. say these words. civilisation is repression of instincts. i want to be naked. why wont you let me be naked? 080316 ... e_o_i can naked truth be seen with the naked eye? 080316 ... anythingbutcryptic no, because the eye is not naked. its clouded by all our preconceptions. and what we think is truth. which alot of the time isnt. i mean, back to pluto. pluto being a planet used to be the naked truth. then they tell us it isnt? see how old and obedient ive become. i just want to believe what im told to believe. i just want to believe what everyone tells me the truth. dangit, what IS the truth. 080317 ...

Consider the "feeling" the word "visceral" gives you to understand what I mean by mentioning it here. 080317 what's it to you? who go blather from
