Flutterby™! : Life Drawing

Posing for Life Drawing, from both sides of the canvas:

The standard life drawing class denies models their humanity—and denies nekkidness its due. Maybe that has to do with artists’ three-centuries-long drive for respectability. But when I see a bare-assed boy on a model stand, I don’t see abstract, platonic solids. And when I was posing, I didn’t want to be reduced to that, either. It seemed more respectful to acknowledge me as a possessor of breasts and personality.
