Relative Embarrassments
Apologies for the lack of posts. I haven’t felt much like blogging this week, due to the kids being afflicted with winter vomiting bug, which isn’t exactly conducive to creativity. Oh and we’ve had one of our closest relatives visiting too. Now this chap knows about Rich’s photography and my modelling, and he has always maintained he was completely cool with the whole thing. This was incorrect. He is in actual fact totally appalled and ashamed of us.
Apparently what we do could never be classified as Art. Rich’s photography is some sort of silly mid-life joke, which he will grow out of in the next few months. And as for me, I am a total embarrassment, a floozy and clearly experiencing some sort of sad personal crisis, otherwise why on earth would I be modelling nude and posting my pictures on the internet? And at my age too. I should be ashamed of myself.
Relatives suck.
Now if you’ll please excuse me, I need to go and hit something.
This is Lynx of course. However you’ll notice that she is wearing…gasp…clothes. This was during Rich’s very brief ten-minute foray into fashion photography. This is not art. However, it appears that this is the preferred level of nudity for our more morally constipated viewers.

As the guest stands hat in hand at the front door.
Gee Mr. Close Relative it's a real shame you didn't express your true feelings about our art earlier. By not being a hypocrite in the past we could have spared you some of the exposure to our appalling, shameful and morally corrupt ways. Making your stay with us much more enjoyable from both sides. Yes, we have had a mid-life and sad personal crisis - we felt ashamed that at our age we had been living a life we didn't like, so we decided not to live our lives as others think we should, but as we need to live it. As productive citizens practicing our life enriching art. It's quite enlightening. You should really try it. Thanks for coming and we look forward to having you stay with us again soon. Luv Ya.... Bye.
Judgmental people suck.
Don't hit anything. Just feel sorry for him. Any energy expended in his direction is a waste.
It's probably why the kids are sick. Too much negative energy in the house.

Thank you Mr Wood. Would that it were that simple to explain, (we tried) but he didn't or wouldn't understand. "Old school morals" he calls it.
You're right about the kids though :-)
This makes the remember one of my favorite song lyrics, "She tells you she's am orphan after you've met the family."
You can't pick your family but you can pick you friends. That's why I prefer friends.
Thank God my family doesn't read this.;)
I can totally sympathise with you guys. Because of a very recent relationship split I recently "came out" about my photography to my dear old Mum before she got my ex's version of what I did. Dear old Mum took it well so I guess I was lucky on that count.
P.S. Just because I'm not blogging at the mo doesn't mean I won't be reading your stuff. Keep up the great work both of you.
Regards
Mark
It's a shame that some people have such hangups over human bodies. I'll never understand it.. I wasn't raised by puritans or anything.
Sock it to 'em, Lin!
Mr. Wood is right on. I really like what he wrote, about what could have been said. Bravo!
Lin, as you know I have a relative of the same ilk. For Christmas, my sister gave me a pair of boxing gloves. Would you care to borrow them? Just sending out word that you own them seems to get the message across: don't tread on me (anymore!).
