it’s better in the
buff
by kimberly shelby There’s a reason nudist colonies exist, and it’s not to make the rest of the world uncomfortable. Those nudists are on to something. Ideas come from the freedom to choose anything and everything. When the clothes are gone, there’s nothing left to inhibit creativity. Even the design of my clothing, from the color to the brand, can influence my design. Ill fitting clothing leads to bad, uncomfortable ideas. I don’t want to be sitting in formal clothing and trying to design a rock concert poster. Any influence can be too much. I want to start with a clean slate. I’m not going to waste time wishing I wasn’t sporting that push-up bra or too tight jeans, I’m going to make it happen and then my design can be free too.
