So which celebrity you like to pose nude ?
Would you pose nude for a national magazine ?
How much would they have to pay you ?
Have you been nude in public ?

― anthony, Wednesday, 29 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In public, no. However, some years back a friend wanted me to pose for a painting in the buff. I thought, "Why not?" Did several sessions -- she still hasn't finished it, and in keeping with her preferred method of working, I have never seen it myself. As she's moved to the Midwest some time back, it will have to remain vaguely unknown. ;-)

In a magazine and all that -- I doubt they'd want me at all.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 29 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In order:

The more I see of Christian Bale, the better.

Yes.

Probably not much, I'd take $50k to get my kit off.

Yes, I have. On several occasions. The most nude in public I've ever been was at The WOrks where I stripped completely nude. Generally I'm just topless.

― Ally, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I drove miles into the middle of nowhere to pose nude in one of Spencer Tunick's photo shoots. It was supposed to start at 6 am. It was cold and I got pine sap stuck to my ass from lying on the ground. National Geographic was there with videocameras. Yay!

― turner, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom Barman

Yes.

If Mapplethorpe would raise from the dead, I'd do it for a tenner.

I haven't been nude in public (yet).

― nathalie, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am always nude, like a squirrel

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1.Peter Beardsley.

2.Yes. 3.A few drinks 4.Yes in Prague we ran across Charles Bridge nude, you have to be able to say you had the full experience. I blame the 24 hour bar located nearby, full of Irish oddly enough, can't think why Irish people go out for their one or two pints at 6 in the morning.

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1) lou reed

2,3,4) Posed nude for city-wide magazine, in my gonzo-piece on penis piercing, i think i got 50 bucks for it, plus only had to pay half price for the ring, and yes, so many times, went to an "F" party (anything that starts with f) as Flesh. and you'd never believe how many times i had to whip it out after the article was published, because people would enquire how was it, i'd say fine, you want to see, they'd say sure (thinking no way) and whoomp, it'd be out...i also whipped my testicles out at a bar when someone said i didn't have the balls - got a free drink for that.

― Geoff, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would pose nude if they promised to fiddle around with my picture on their computer to make me look better. I wouldn't do some cheap shoddy Reader's Wives thing. I am not sure whether I would gleefully show my friends the mag in question or not mention it. I have never been nude in public in real life but used to have frequent nightmare about having to do maths exams with nothing on. I'm not really interested in nude celebrities. Does that answer the question?

― Emma, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(1)the pope (2) OK (3) 50 bucks (4)yeah.

― duane, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In a perfect world, there would be an ILE readers wives

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I agree, in the sense that in a perfect world ILE readers would have wives.

I like seeing celebrities nude in a kind of trading cards way. So the only ones I really have an interest in are those that have never done it: Winona Ryder, Kelly Brook, Christina Ricci etc. This impulse surely has something to do with degrading women.

― Nick, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

All that was missing was the snare drum to accompany that one Nick. Agreed, that would be perfect, assuming we loved the wives.

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I do not have a wife and even if I did I would not let her get her tits out for you lot. I would make her have my dinner on the table by 7:30.

― Emma, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

im the wife and i have dinner on the table at 6

― anthony, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought 7.30 was a bit liberal alright. I mean whats next, her eating at the same table or something?

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It always struck me as very Northern to eat dinner before 7. You can't really call that dinner, it's more supper. My mum used to go mental if I called it tea (e.g. what's for tea mum) saying 'what's for tea is a cup of tea and perhaps a biscuit, do you mean what's for dinner?'. She has ideas above her station, that one.

― Emma, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, we ate when it was dark. sometimes that was 4:30, sometimes that was 5. I cook about 4 nights a week and depending on when i get home from work its on the table anywhere from 6 to 9:30. I am very proud of this .

― anthony, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I tend to eat between 9 and 10 which is probably why I sleep so badly thinking about it.

― Tom, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But Emma, surely supper is after dinner. I think if your main evening meal comes betwen 4:30 and 6 then it should be called tea. Between 6 and 8 it is dinner. After eight is either supper of a square mint covered in dark chocolate.

Nude. Oh yes.

― Pete, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, no, no. You are all wrong. Dinner is the main meal of the day, whenever you have it. You eat lunch in the middle of the day and tea in the evening. Calling tea supper is an evil Southern affectation and must be stamped on, for as any fule kno supper is something you have just before you go to bed, like a big pile of cheese and crackers.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hmm Cheese.

Hmm Crackers.

― Pete, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Debretts type answer is of course Breakfast - Lunch - Tea (as in cakes and tea) - Dinner. But I too grew up with dinner being called supper. I think this is allowed if dinner isn't like a big formal thing. I dunno. 'High Tea' was a good one too - this was usually a light poached eggs on toast on a Sunday in place of real supper.

― Nick, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now I know why my mum is so disappointed by my manners, after she tried to drag herself out of the East End by reading Debretts I go and fuck it all up for her.

― Emma, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one of my friends calls lunch dinner, which is way fucked up.

nudity - no not personally. though i have been nude in public in a rainstorm. oh for those carefree days!

― katie, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nude in public in a rainstorm? What were you doing? Starring in a RomCom?

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

nah, being a rather drunken styooodent. it was not i who initiated the shedding of garments.

― katie, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sure, you brazen jezebel you

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1) Jonathan Rhys Meyers
2) Only if they were paying a lot, and probably not anyway
3) Full tuition for the college of my choice
4) No

― Lyra, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey - i've never been called anything with so many 'z's in!

― katie, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1)not really bothered 2) oh go on then 3) a suitable amount 4)not public public but with groups realtive strangers (one was the neice of a cabinet minister)

― Ed, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well theres a first time for everything

― Ronan, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ed, you always have something surprising to say (this niece of cabinet minister thing - I MUST KNOW!)

― gareth, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Another thread that makes me happy. :-) Dinner is when you're hungry, dammit. And my mom usually gets hungry around 5 pm, so whenever I visit home now, we are assured of a nice early repast.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd pose nude, but they usually aren't asking skinny guys for that sort of thing. If I actually got the gig, it wouldn't take much, I'm sorta exhibitionist. As far as being nude in public, well I've been an artist's model, and do sex clubs count?

― Sean, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm the only one in my family who gets hungry before 7 PM. I get hungry around 5. It's torture.

― Lyra, Thursday, 30 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...

Revive. My answer shocks me!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 01:26 (twenty-three years ago)

In other news, Pepper Labeija is dead at 53.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 02:38 (twenty-three years ago)

My answer shocks me too. And thanks for that link; I haven't heard the name Pepper Labeija in many years.

― Sean (Sean), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 03:38 (twenty-three years ago)

artists model. me too. not shocked.

― Erik, Tuesday, 27 May 2003 04:56 (twenty-three years ago)

(one was the neice of a cabinet minister)

Ed? Was she going out with someone at Sheffield and used to visit from Leeds?

My answers:
1) I really don't care.
2) Never for a lad mag or Readers Wives, but maybe pseudo-arty pics for Vogue, Elle, The Face or similar.
3) At the moment I feel like I'd do most things for a hundred quid, but I think more really. Thousands and thousands would be nice.
4) I have sunbathed nude in the back garden and gone topless a fair few times (best running through fountain in Sheffield city centre).

best thread morph ever? nudity to tea/dinner conundrum...

the meal in the middle of the day is dinner, as in dinnerladies who served it, and the meal when neighbours/blue peter is on is tea, as in "...and that's before me tea" by Mr Food.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 12:56 (twenty-three years ago)

best thread morph ever? nudity to tea/dinner conundrum...

Is this a great forum or what?

As for Anthony's little poll:

1) John Cusack.
2) Cannot imagine any publication asking, but probably wouldn't accept.
3) That said, I'm so frantic to pay a set of bills right now that I'd probably accept $300.
4) No.

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 13:03 (twenty-three years ago)

My answers are the same as j.lu's! (though I think I'd ask for at least $1000)

― Sarah MCLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 13:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Is "vouge" French for "whoosh"?

(As for the poll: none, no, a lot, twice.)

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 14:00 (twenty-three years ago)

1) Most of them do already, don't they? Probably Winona if you want an honest answer. Though I don't think this would do much to ease her current problems, so that's just selfish and wrong on my part...
2) Yes.
3) Nothing. However, I would only ever do it if said pictures were to find their way into The Wire without the editor's knowledge before going to press – would be massively inappropriate but funny, I think.
4) Yes – very drunken bout of swimming in rural Norfolk with a bunch of folks. (BTW, they make public information films about how dangerous swimming while trashed is – don't do it kids.) Most embarrassing, though, was in the (dis)comfort of my own home. Went to put a CD on before I got in the bath, walked in living room and for some reason, my normally drawn curtains were wide open. The old lady opposite my flat was hanging out washing and saw the lot. She's been very nice to me ever since, though!

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 15:28 (twenty-three years ago)

1. My first thought was Madonna, but I think she has already appeared nude once or twice. A current choice might be Kelis.
2. Yes.
3. I think I would be so insanely flattered by anything wanting to buy nude pics of me that I'd do it for anything. As long as it wasn't a "look at the ugly old bloke" feature, which is probably the only likely one.
4. Only when having sex in the woods. I'd be pretty comfortable about stripping on a nude beach, say.
