Perhaps that is the artist in me though who feels that way. I am sure there are those who see nekid bodies in only one dirty light, but it doesn't have to be that way. For example, my new avatar here, while cropped of the full version, is my fav photo of me in a long time. For me, it's cool to come from years of having lots of body self-image issues (abusive father) to be able to look at that photo of me and think "huh, wow, all I heard about how fat and ugly I am, I really don't think that's true." It is very freeing.
Right on sista!
Selling your body = literally selling your body, as in prostitution, as in having sex for money.
What you're doing = not even close to that. Nothing at all wrong with being proud of your body even if it's not super model skinny/the "ideal". Most women have curves and most of us around a size 0 and we should embrace that fact instead of being ashamed of it! I'd love to see the average female body get more positive attention in the media.
Personally, I'm thinking about joining a nudist colony that's fairly close by because sometimes I'd rather be naked than wearing clothing that doesn't fit quite right (refuse to have stuff tailored) or isn't as flattering as I'd like it to be. Screw it, I've had 4 kids and have the body to go along with it but I'm not embarrassed by it.
