Day 15 Feral Victory

"Yes. I went out — in public — even ran back through INDEPENDENCE MALL one of the busiest tourist sites in the USA in leggings and nothing hanging down over my thighs. That my friends is more than improvement. That is 25 years of crippling self consciousness defeated - at least for one afternoon. "

Padma Lakshmi Likes Herself Naked

Padma Lakshmi, boxing junkie, host of Top Chef, and ex-wife of Salmon Rushdie, is pregnant. FitSugar says she's also gained alot of extra weight, but that hasn't stopped her for posing naked on the cover of the latest Page Six magazine. We like Padma's attitude, fully acknowledging that it helps to be gorgeous, smart, and indirectly connected to literary greatness when you bare yourself to the world:

I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way . . . When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.

Down with adjectives!

Kourtney Kardashian Works Out Naked

Kourtney of the Khloe and Kim Kardashian Clan recently told Popsugar she likes to work out naked. Not because she's a free spirit. Not so she can revel in her naked glory. Because that way she can get a better look at her fat:

"Sometimes I will do them [her workouts] naked because I have mirrored end tables and mirrored furniture in my room. So I can see how gross, like when your lift up your leg, you can see all the jiggle and everything and it makes you work out harder..."

I'm usually of the whatever-works-for-you-honey school of thought.  But to this, I say No No No!

Screw Ashtanga, let's get naked

I like to think of any time where I’m naked as an opportunity for something really great to happen. I’ll admit that I’ve been disappointed before, but you know what, I think that naked yoga may just be the naked time activity I’m looking for. I mean really what’s better than splaying your naughty bits to the world, or at least to the back of the room?
