Such a silly concept; naked gardening. Not a fan of squatting that close to soil without something between my derriere and the dirt.
Yes, I know vegetables aren’t grown in grocery stores, and meat doesn’t show up in the butcher shop already sliced, wrapped and priced. Someone has to tend the farms. But(t)… naked?
What’s next… people attending church naked? I don’t want to sit on any public seating where someone else’s squishy bodily fluids await.
With good fortune, nudity, corsets, and stiletto’s will be thrown on the garbage dump of ridiculous fashion ideas — while comfortable clothing prevails.
Yes indeed, I have never fancied the idea of either nudists or naturists! I get too cold to go around in the buff!💜

My buff doesn’t take cold well, either. Happy to have a like mind in my midst. 😊

I’m visualizing people in a garden reaching for the DEET to spray on their bare bodies. 😊

I believe it goes from naked gardening to naked beekeeping–naked church-going only comes much later in the natural progression of nakedness.

I would imagine that naked beekeeping might be replaced by a beekeepers suit after the bees play a few rounds of, “target the human.”

I’m visualizing someone gardening in the nude in stilettoes. I think I have the makings of a movie.

There should be a documentary about what stiletto’s do to your feet.I was acquainted with a woman who couldn’t wear slippers. She had worn stiletto’s since her teen years and her calf muscles had shortened. I’ve often wondered if those athletic shoes with the high wedges were made for people like her. Others have had foot problems from it — including bunions and hammertoe. My habit of wearing Minnetonka Deer Skin gore front mocassins for decades has saved me from foot problems.

The stilettoes are only to aerate the lawn.

I wouldn’t have categorized stilettoes, corsets and nudity together, but if all three are causes of discomfort, there it is. Clothes are for protection, and gardening offers many dangers; sun, bugs, scratches… yeah, garden clothed and church? Yeah, cloth on the pew please.

I think of clothing as a protection from the sunlight. Not a fan of bug bites and another tick lodging onto a hemorrhoid. 😊
