I agree they should be healthy weights but I think if you had those women go to most modeling agencies in modern times that they'd be turned away as too heavy! People want stick-thin models!

I don't think most modern people are looking for a warrior's tone; that is a very intriguing thought because actually *I* always really liked that look and it was always an "odd look" in our culture. Think back to when Conan the Destroyer came out, how much people harassed Grace Jones for being too muscular. Same thing with Alien, GI Jane and the first Terminator. The women in those movies were muscular and warrior-fit and they were looked down on and harassed for it. I always thought they were gorgeous.

They're becoming more accepted in modern times - but the ideal beauty for magazines and fashion shows is still stick-thin with no muscle at all. They're starting to accept a *tiny* bit of tone, but most of them are still thin-and-frail which bothers me.

I go back and forth between looking like those women in the pictures, Lisa, and being thin and toned. I always like myself when I am fit and hate looking at myself when i look like those women in the paintings. My body normally sets right at that level and it takes constant vigilance to stay "fit". It bothers me that it bothers me.

I guess you could say the picture of me in my avatar is in my in-between state.

As far as 'being naked', that I am okay with. I love not wearing clothes. I don't care if other people are nude. I know Seinfeld doesn't like casual nudity, but I never think anything of stripping off my clothes (in either of my body shapes) to join in a hot spring, pool, or just to walk around the house. I change clothes right in front of people I am camping with and expect them to do the same. I have to remember to put clothes on when I host guests actually. It's just one of those things, I guess. Is this weird to people?

I know a ton of people who sleep nude, and if it's warm enough I'll do that, but right now I sleep in 8 layers of clothes because I get so cold So it really is very temperature dependent for me. Our house is rather rural so I traipse around in whatever strikes me as temperature-comfortable.

I'll have to admit that a weekend or two ago a friend of mine wanted to swing by with some Tupperware I'd ordered from her on a Sunday afternoon and I asked her not to, because we were lounging in our pajamas and didn't feel like getting dressed I told her I'd get it from her when we met the following week
