a notary compilation of impulses and irrationalities from the mind of a twenty-something city-girl, aspiring to something inconclusiveTumblr (3.0; @livesingle)http://livesingle.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0sgb7O1cU1qbwvzro1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/20352404167http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/20352404167Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:06:29 -0400<p>I follow this blog.</p> <p>Well, I photograph for this blog.</p> <p>And sometimes, I write for this blog.</p> <p><a href="http://tobeaslut.com/"><a href="http://tobeaslut.com/">http://tobeaslut.com/</a></a></p> <p>The author of this blog, who is a darling friend of mine, is also a very inspiring one. Together, we run body positive workshops for women (categorized under Body Pride).  You can read all about it here:</p> <p><a href="http://tobeaslut.com/2012/03/05/body-pride-a-letter-from-your-photographer/"><a href="http://tobeaslut.com/2012/03/05/body-pride-a-letter-from-your-photographer/">http://tobeaslut.com/2012/03/05/body-pride-a-letter-from-your-photographer/</a></a></p> <p>The goal of these workshops is to create a space in which women can learn to love, talk freely about and gain a better appreciation for their bodies. And we do this naked.</p> <p>Imagine! A room full of naked ladies, drinking, laughing and listening to each others&#8217; stories about their bodies, their sex lives, relationships, families, etc. It&#8217;s simply electric. </p> <p>At the end of the group chats, I (the photographer) convert the room into a warm and wonderful studio space and the naked photoshoot begins (if you&#8217;re curious, check the blog. Yeah, there are pictures. Yeah, they&#8217;re pretty awesome).</p> <p>Although - call it hypocritical - in spite of my active role in this liberating body-loving experience, I still have yet to feel free and good in my own skin. I still am nowhere to be seen in this image roulette of nakedness.</p> <p>Baby steps.</p> <p>All brilliant things start small. So this has become my small start. As a lover of all creative things, and a fairly prolific creator of them, I have decidedly begun to document my life in a photographic journal. I haven&#8217;t got the patience to write. I haven&#8217;t got the attention span to articulate my thoughts and feelings in such a way that expresses the truth of what goes on in my confusing mind. I don&#8217;t have time to sift through the english vernacular to skillfully weave together enlightening tapestries of my life for the world to consume. </p> <p>But the single moment it takes to capture an image is all I need to remind myself and share with you the things I feel.</p> <p>Through pictures with angles I never see, I&#8217;m attempting to gain an objective look at my body. I&#8217;m attempting to see it for what it is as opposed to what I want it to be. I want to learn to love every inch of myself and to understand what I&#8217;m sharing with others, what my body does to the image of their world. </p> <p>It&#8217;s my therapeutic nudie blog. </p> <p>It&#8217;s my body and I want to feel at home in it.</p>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/20352293357http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/20352293357Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:03:21 -0400body pridesexualitynuditytobeaslutbody image<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1d5t6lsTO1r3wl6xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19807817429http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19807817429Fri, 23 Mar 2012 20:39:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1bc0rhvDr1r3wl6xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19760034648http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19760034648Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:58:03 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1bbvk3MN61r3wl6xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>just an average thursday night</p>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19759838226http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19759838226Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:54:56 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m04l51QAJv1qg8m74o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19688337666http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19688337666Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:06:39 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsz8f07gba1qi9sb6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19688275070http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19688275070Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:05:08 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m165snrrDQ1qzmkczo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19686831684http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19686831684Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:27:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m18v86d0Ez1r3wl6xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19683820112http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19683820112Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:00:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m11j1340mg1qc4023o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tobeaslut.tumblr.com/post/19461341991/body-pride-workshops">tobeaslut</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Body Pride Workshops</p> </blockquote>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19624476670http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19624476670Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:43:28 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m14tcoFIxD1qzdgkko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19624385306http://livesingle.tumblr.com/post/19624385306Tue, 20 Mar 2012 08:38:31 -0400
