May I call you Adonis?
I prefer "Abdonis". [Just putting in a plug for my next million dollar idea.]
P.S. I intended no offence to "Modest Goddess" and I hope she took none. I thought I was taking her issue, the distinction between appearing nude and feeling naked, seriously.
It occurred to me that one's self-perception goes to the heart of MoGo's issue, and, so long as we are taking it all off in public (so to speak), it occurred to me that we should speak the naked truth.
Whatever "Modest Goddess" is, she is not "modest". And certainly that is not because she poses in the nude. That is because she has styled herself the "Modest Goddess". That is her nom de plume. If I saw it up in lights over a Men's Club, I might buy her a beer.
In my opinion, dear Keiva, modesty is highly over-rated. The meek may inherit the earth but they can't escape the glass ceiling. I for one am happy to see MoGo shorn of her tiresome pretence. I suspect it must be a relief for MoGo as well. She should know we accept her just as she is.
Besides, we have seen Modest Goddess handle herself under fire, dear Keiva, and she needs no-one's protection. So, let's relax and enjoy the show.

A hearty welcome semperon! ...musick have recently objected to this tactic... Nowhere in that post do I say that I object. Your inability to understand should have taught you to stop interpreting by now. What did I tell you about taking my words out of context?  Now were talking about language, aren't we!  ...Musick are not universally regarded as authorities on proper practice. You are so beautifuly truthful with those words, I'm gonna cry! As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as "proper practice" in a general sense. Yours is yours, and mine is mine (and sometimes it's Keiva's when he's trying to figure out what I'm saying). But always the twain shall meet! Kinda like "nude" and "naked".

Semperon, welcome aBoard. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do and plan to stick around. Whew! What a thread to come out on! If I had my hat on, it would be off to you.

Before we get any more carried away here, let me say that I've never assumed that in the profferred name of "Modest Goddess" there was an implication of modesty or of godlike appearance, necessarily. Could be gentle irony, or wishful thinking, or tongue-in-cheek, or completely the opposite of actuality, as well as the "real" thing. Maybe even more likely.
No need to ascribe qualities based on the name - it is, after all, only a nom-de-plume.
Let's not take ourselves too literally, perhaps?
What's in a name?
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet...
(Oh, you know the rest)

Thank the Lord you came up with the truth. Dang it's just a kooky name she chose and man oh man she is probably great looking naked or nude (and can we all say that about ourselves)..well...heh, heh I can.
Hey, I'm just trying to get to 25 posts so I can be invited to the Word-o-rama in Michigaan or is it Minnesota?

THIRD LIMERICK
--by Ogden Nash
Two nudists of Dover,
Being purple all over,
Were munched by a cow
When mistaken for clover.

Hey, I'm just trying to get to 25 posts so I can be invited to the Word-o-ramaWarning, MLC: anyone with fewer than 100 posts will be required to perform embarrassing silly stunts, sing feelthy songs, and carry the bags of the august personages. Now who was chairperson of the hazing committee, and when can we expect your proposal for appropriate activities?
