For those of you who
know me, this won't be a surprise, but I was
raised as a nudist. In fact, I was home-schooled
until I was almost 13 and had to attend a public
school. I had always wore clothing for those
occasions when we had to go into town for whatever
reason, but if it was warm...I didn't wear much.
And most of those clothes were homemade by my
mother, so I definitely wasn't the fashion queen!
But when I had to go to public school, the
clothing thing
became a serious issue really fast. Kids didn't
get my clothes, and I quickly became the butt of
many jokes about my mother and father's economic
state. They guess quite wrongly, while we weren't
affluent, we certainly never struggled. But it
became obvious that I would have to try to mimic
the styles that others were wearing. But I hated
it. I hated the image that clothing gave to
people. Everything I wore, it seemed, sent a
message to everyone, if only that I was trying to
conform.
By the time I got into high school, I had matured
enough to where I just didn't care anymore.
Coincidentally, this was about the same time that
I reached the bottom of the popularity ladder and
joined the computer club. I was then in jeans and
a t-shirt everyday, no matter the occasion, except
maybe I wore some specific for "spirit" day.
So, although I came to accept wearing clothes, and
the messages it sent, I have never liked it. When
it became necessary to look for a job, I
discovered a totally new range of messages that
clothes sent. You guys, I think, have it easy, a
suit is a suit. But women's business suits, egad!
The variety and taste and function of a woman's
business suit leaves something to be desired in my
opinion.
So now, I attend college and I work. I find myself
more clothed than nude. But at the same time, I
have come to accept that I am still me, and still
naked under my clothing. A fact that would become
obvious if any of you met me in person,
outrageous, hard-headed opinions and all. But I do
long for those times when I was a kid and could
spend literally a week or more without a stitch of
clothing.
