I would rather see a 1000 lb naked man then dance clothed with people who think someone is disgusting naked. I think judging someones nudity is rude. I saw this picture of this lady who looked like a walking jacket, leather at that, and she was in a bikini. That makes her beautiful. Because she's true to herself enough to be who she is and not make special exceptions for people who have no business judging her (let alone on something as unimportant as looks, yeah I went there, as far as I'm concerned the idea of what is pretty, at least in the states, is pretty ugly).
In reading this post I find myself nodding in agreement in recognizing a certain hypocrisy in these postings about public nudity. Many of the same people who took Alexander to task for his shallowness on the thread about fashion... exclaiming that judging someone by their looks... judging a book by its cover... is so pathetic, seem to be just as shallow in that they have no problem judging others bodies: old... ugly... fat... wrinkly... etc... This really seem to undermine the idea of not judging others according to appearance. Is it really that huge of a step from judging someone in a negative way because their body fails to meet the ideal of youth and sexual attractiveness to judging them because they are wearing the "wrong" clothes? Indeed... how far is it from this point to judging someone upon the basis of their skin color or racial features?
