Nude Blogging

I can't think of a way to get a picture of nekkid me. Not without asking another person to take it and there's no one here who'd do it. Heck, there's no one here who has any interest in seeing such a picture much less taking it.

Fortunately, I do have a nude picture.
It's my mother. She was a nude art model too. This is a picture of her in Raphael Soyer's studio in the 1940s. (That's Raphael at the easel. I don't know who the other people are. If anyone thinks they might know, say a visiting relative, they should go ahead and click on the image to make it bigger.)

I had a couple of pictures of me that people who drew me gave me, but they were umm. kinda ugly. I don't know where they went.

Here's another one of mom.

I have another one of her that's actually on the wall. A little one. Maybe I'll see if I can make a copy of it.

    Have to admit, this was interesting. But now I want to squeeze your mom's ass. Is that wrong?

    I really love that first picture - it seems like there's a whole story in it with the view of your mom echoing the view of her in the painting on the easel...and the other people with varying degrees of interest in the work that's going on in the room.

    Has there been some call for you to blog while nude, Kate? Although it would do interesting things to your blog traffic...

    I love the second drawing of your mother - it is just beautiful.

    I wonder if the first picture was a posing of the people or if it was a spontaneous picture.

    My grandmother's sister was also a nude art model, she was a good one for what I heard from my grandma and my mother.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
