I'm Always Naked

          You know, to be truly naked is to be truly happy. I can't think of a time where I was cloaked in sadness that I really felt free. I'm a hairstylist and I come in contact with lots of folks and I haven't met one that hasn't met the real me. My friends, my coworkers and strangers alike have always thanked me for being myself. I get asked daily by strangers for guidance, not because I'm the Dali fucking Lama but because they see me. I expose myself to the world because I view myself as a gift, ( I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO)  I am not perfect nor would I want to be. I see people live their lives in fear, fear of what people think of them and how they are viewed. I don't have to because me, see, I'm always naked.

 My opinion will always be heard, my presence will always be felt and needless to say I will always be seen. I realized a long time ago that being someone you're not is the perfect way to self-destruction.  But fuck all that. I'm not here for a long time I'm here for a good time! Word to George Strait! I used to be scared as hell to be me. To be fuckin' weird and look different, love different, take sexy and suggestive photos and not be frowned upon. Its such a shame that people grow up being taught such a grotesque view of anatomy and beauty. Its such a shame that people grow up being taught to lie and scheme and shit. (THERE'S THAT CLOAK)  To not be naked.

About the sexy and suggestive pictures though, let me touch on that because people have it all wrong sometimes. Look, my body has caused real life car accidents and altercations. It is unusual to see, I've learned to deal with that but I also like to photograph it. It's just like when someone paints a weird looking alien screaming on a bridge or sculpts the first man, Its beautiful to look at. You can't believe that every woman that takes these kinds of photographs are vile. Chill.

I'm always naked because there is no other way to live, no other way to die. I will be talked about for years to come, I just know it. People love people like me. Raw, full of life passionate, eccentric, open and selfless. I'm always naked...look at me...love me or leave me the fuck alone!

XOXO
