Today I finally faced my fear, and went public with my blog via email, Facebook, Twitter, you name it….Ever since “going live”, I have had felt like I am stuck in that horrible dream when you go to give a speech on stage and you look down and you are completely naked. What is even more bizarre is that I have NEVER actually had that dream or feeling before because let’s face it, I’m the youngest of 5 siblings, and I have always LOVED being on stage and the center of attention.
As the “stage fright dream” set in today, it reminded me of the photographer Spencer Tunick, whom I learned about from one of my mentors and avid art collectors. Tunick is known for conducting large scaled installations of volunteers who are completely naked and pose together at public places. Basically a naked flash mob with no dancing involved.
Today’s stage fright dream may have started out with me being the one with my knickers down, but I’ve decided to take the sage old advice of picturing the audience sans vêtement
…straight out of the various installations of Spencer Tunick…
This one looks a little painful...
Sure to stop traffic...

You might be able to convince me to be apart of this installation....
There is not enough money in the world that would make me do this one. I am such a germaphobe!
