Mise à Nue

Résurrection

Je passe mon temps à nier, à faire des nids

Je nies, tu nies, il nie

Nous nions, vous niez

Ils nient, elles nient

Il est temps de ne plus

Nier, je ne nie plus

Tu ne nies plus, il ne

Nie plus, nous ne nions

Plus, vous ne niez plus

Ils ne nient plus

Qu’elle avait peur

De la nuit nuit

I MODI

I Modi (The Ways), also known as The Sixteen Pleasures or under the Latin title De omnibus Veneris Schematibus, is a famous erotic book of the Italian Renaissance in which a series of sexual positions were explicitly depicted in engravings. While the original edition was apparently completely destroyed by the Catholic Church, fragments of a later edition survive. The original illustrations were probably copied by Agostino Caracci, whose version survives. The original edition was created by the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi, published by Raimondi in 1524, and led to his imprisonment by Pope Clement VII and the destruction of all copies of the illustrations. Despite the seeming loss of Raimondi’s originals today, it seems certain that at least one full set survived, since both the 1550 woodcuts and the so-called Caracci suite of prints agree in every compositional and stylistic respect with those fragments that have survived. The images nominally depicted famous pairings of lovers (e.g. Antony and Cleopatra) or husband-and-wife deities (e.g. Jupiter and Juno) from classical history and mythology engaged in sexual activity, and were entitled as such.

I’m 47 and I like to take pictures of myself,

it sheers me up

Thanks very much for the submission! It cheers me up too! :) I think people should be naked more often, and in each others company—I also love the shadows in this shot, the lines of your throat, your soft thighs, and your brazen bravery. The rumpled sheets add just the right artistic flair.

It’s a great pic—thanks for sharing!
