I think we should see others imperfections, then as a society we may be more accepting, rather than trying so hard to imitate artificially created images.
Humans are imperfect, they age, it’s normal.
I do life drawing and bodies are all different and wonderfully unique.

It's the Emma Thompson film which was shown at Sundance:

Not offering a "Good luck to you Leo Grande" experience then?

I’ll tell my husband……they may want him for a small part?.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

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!

Love it! Painters adore a few wrinkles and a bit of flab ..... not that I am remotely suggesting that you have either!! grin

Oh I most certainly do Luckygirl.

I demonstrate almost every negative aspect of old age from wrinkles to liver spots, senile purpura to thinning hair, flab to varicose veins. I am in excellent health though so perhaps I would be a reasonable example of a typical 70s+ woman.

Definitely. Let people see what “normal” bodies look like, not air brushed, cosmetically altered, unrealistic and mythical perfect bodies.
But may be you are that perfect body Esspee ? in which case don’t do it and show the rest of us up!

Perhaps you could get us all a part ??? Might be the shortest series ever.

Definitely go for it and let us know when you’ll be on tv!?

Following on from the Naked Bike Ride thread, today I received an email casting call from Lost in TV for a programme called Naked Education.
They want to hear from me if I am “interested in releasing myself from the shackles of negative body image.”
Apparently participating in the programme will be a “liberating experience”

So fellow gransnetters, should I go for it?

P.S. I’m 73 and overweight.
