My casting call for naked TV programme.

What intrigues me most is what you have done to suggest that you might be interested, Espee? Have you been on Naked attraction, maybe? Or Love Island?

No, I wouldn’t want to terrify the viewers.

Go for it if you dare, I always admired Rydale WI's calendar.
Though I wouldn't myself, too many bumps and lumps in the wrong place.
I could like Sago offer my husband he is toned and honed after a weeks-long walk on the Pennine Way. Though it's a fight to get him to take even his socks off on holiday.

When I was expecting my 3rd, a nurse asked me if I’d like to earn a bit of money by posing naked for her husbands art group. They wanted someone as a subject to draw, who was a more interested shape than the near perfect bodies available as models. So out in this town which can only see me as an elderly lady with a figure well gone to seed, there could be drawings of a robust young woman bursting with vitality and the imminent birth of another life for her to watch over.
Go for it !!!!!!
Your great grandchildren may well be proud of you. Those of us around your age will certainly be

DillytheGardener Sadly, SKs are no longer removed on the NHS as it is considered cosmetic! I would beg to disagree: I very much doubt any of the decision makers are old enough to have to put up with them. Cost about £200 per SK to go private. I wonder if they would do a discount for quantity...

Oh damn! A few years ago our practice nurse said she could remove them from my back. I never followed it up and now they are bigger and more of them I’d like to get rid of them but if you now have to pay I couldn’t afford it. I do find that scrubbing with a rough loofah helps and occasionally the surface peels off leaving a pale flat mole like mark.
Sorry to be so graphic, they are horrible things.

It’d be one of the very last things I’d do! I’m an extremely private person and think I look ok with my clothes on, but they hide a multitude of sins. My clothes give me confidence. I’ve always had low self-esteem, so can’t understand anyone wanting to reveal themselves. I’d be so embarrassed, I just couldn’t cope with it. If someone wants to do it though, go ahead. It’s just not for me. Never has been, never will be.

Well done Espee. Yes, we need body positivity in this day and age when we see 'perfect' airbrushed bodies.

Go for it!

I'll pm you.

Just a bit of humour thrown in, but it is true!

Dowsabella sacré bleu what a vast expense, with my spider veins on the list for next winter this will be an expensive year. I think I’ll just have the one that hurts under my underwire removed, I can’t afford the rest ?

Wear your blemishes with pride! I am covered in those horrid crusty things - seborrheic keratoses. I hate them, so it is just as well that no-one else has to look at them!

I have them too, but as my doctor explained that they are related to warts, I tried lathering mine in removing cream for theatrical make-up, just because that is what was on my dressing table.

I remembered having read years ago, that you should rub warts with pork fat to get rid of them, as if you keep air of them they wither and shrink.

I didn't really expect it to work, but as the one I had had on my neck last summer disappeared when I started using sun screen, I tried it.

The large one on my back has disappeared and one on the back of my knee which was getting so large it felt in the way every time I bent that knee has also gone, as has the one on my face!

So try whatever form of face cream or sun screen you usually use, ladies, and don't be discouraged and give up if nothing happens for a while. It took over a fortnight before I noticed a difference.

I put cream on them all when I undress at night.

I love this, you go for it and enjoy yourself!! let us know when its on tv, good luck!!

Give me a million pounds and I'll volunteer too!

no still would not do it, could you imagine walking into work/local shop for the next 3 months????

Absolutely not! My little Gs asked me why I'm so crumbly yesterday! I've never been one to flaunt my body even when it was size 8 many moons ago. I can't even bare looking at it in a full length mirror myself.

My question about whether I should go for it was meant to be taken humorously. Germanshepherdsmum got the tone perfectly.
What concerns me is why the invitation was sent to me, an overweight 73 year old, using my first name. I don’t doubt they sent out thousands of invitations but what kind of mailing list is my name and email address on?
Anyway, there is still time for those of you braver than me to apply. ?

No. Not a good idea.

I didn't like to ask, but did wonder why you'd been 'chosen' and I also wondered how many other people had been contacted.
Can you remember ever answering some advert for extras or volunteering for crowd scenes perhaps?

Espee It may well be they didn't know anything about you when they mailed you. Your name and email may have been sold on a list (from a shop possibly, or almost any online organisation you are in contact with will have your email and name). They may have emailed a thousand people off that list.

Were too polite to speculate! ?

We're

I would be asking myself the same question Espee. Probably no more sinister than the unsolicited catalogues which arrive, though, and they know no more about you than senders of said catalogues (one of whom always addresses me as Mr. They're bound to get my business aren't they?).

I used to go to naturist beaches and really enjoyed the sense of freedom. However to go on TV or even just be photographed is something completely different. I'm 78 and would not appear naked on TV, not that anyone would want to see me! The TV program on E4 "Naked Attraction" which show supposedly young attractive bodies is decidedly awful!

My first thought was that you had been invited to the tv show Naked Attraction....

This sounds fabulous we are all beautiful!! Hopefully next generation will realise this and stop worrying about it! You must do it and send link to us when it’ll be on, you go girl!! Xxx

Google 'British Naturism'. It makes for interesting reading and you might decide to try it.

Re seborrheic keratoses, the ones I got in profusion on my neck just a week or so before my daughter's wedding I treated like lambs tails to be docked; I squeezed and twisted them to remove their blood supply and they dried out and dropped off. Some are more trickily positioned that I don't think I can do this to... Another bone to pick with whatever invented us all haha
