Quotes / Our Nudity Is Different

Go To

Fan Works

Staring at his red face, Rukhash realized that the Man sharing her cave looked more than uncomfortable to be around an Orc. He looked downright embarrassed. She didn't see why something as trivial as nudity would make anyone act so strangely. Uruk hai, and Orcs in general, lived in such close quarters and with so little to go around that the concept of modesty was completely alien to her. This fluster was because he caught a peek of her breasts? That had to be the silliest thing she had ever heard.

Literature

"[I]t is only fair that you have a chance to inspect what you are being offered. Ladies, please. Unmask."
Both girls froze, eyes widening with horror. Torisen had always considered the masks a coy embellishment, probably because Kallystine had made a game out of wearing as little as possible in bed and out of it. However, these ladies were genuinely upset—more so, perhaps, than if Adiraina had asked them to strip naked.

During our visit to Spain late last year and early this year in France she noticed that many little girls at the pools and beaches swam with only a bikini bottom. Curious, she asked me, "Mom, how come they don't wear the other piece of their swim suit?"
Good question, and one I couldn't quite answer.
Being raised in Hawaii, we normally don't give swimwear another thought, other than [it's] "something to go to the beach with". Mixed matched tops and bottoms, shorts and shirts were often worn to the beach. No one really cared, as long as we were able to go into the water. But topless, we've never done and so I had no explanation but to say:
"In Europe, this is very normal. If you look around you're the only girl with a top on." I said.
"Is that why they're looking at me funny?", she asked. I shrugged my shoulders and gave her a smile.
With just that answer she took off her bikini top and jumped into the pool.

Real Life

Crawford: One day my girlfriend and her boyfriend and I were sunbathing topless because that's Barbados—you can wear nothing if you want. And the Pepsi guy walks up and with with my agent to meet us for lunch. I wondered if I should put on my top because I have a business relationship with him? I didn't want him to get offended because the rest of the beach had seen me with my top off. Meanwhile, as he's walking towards me, he's saying to my agent "I hope she puts on her top." He wasn't even being a schmuck, like wanting to see. He wanted to keep our relationship professional.
Playboy: Did you or didn't you?
Crawford: I left it off and it was fine with everyone.
