Hey You
The first outfit Lois ever gave her daughter,
January 20, 2008 (church was canceled that morning due to a winter storm in Metro Atlanta!)
They don't get any more raw than this. No makeup, no nothing. In fact, it's probably the first-ever published photo of me without makeup (or clothes!). The title refers to the Pink Floyd song (hence the phone -- I always loved that line of the song). Though this nude would probably be rated about PG-17 or so, I wavered back and forth on whether to post the photo on this page or to link to it on a separate page for the slightly shyer in spirit. The compromise? It's posted now, in the first couple days of the launch of the My Mother's Clothing project, then it will be separated out on another page after I send the announcement to family and friends. No offense intended. Life is life, and as Freddie Mercury said, life is real.
