Don't Tell an Artsy Person About Your Nude Photos
When I first had the pleasure of discovering my nude body splashed all over the internet, I was devastated. I don't think I breathed for 10 minutes. And then I called one of my really good friends at midnight, and I talked with him until four in the morning. He was compassionate, and I will always be grateful for the sleep that he gave up to comfort me.
The next day, I called my brother and my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law happens to be a very talented artist. I told her where the photos were, and I told her how absolutely devastated I was. She said, "I'll check them out, and I'll call you back." She hesitated. "Oh, um, and I won't let your brother see them."
Yeah. That would be weird.
She called me back in 5 minutes. "Well, I know you're really devastated by these photos, but I happen to think that they're actually very beautiful," she said, matter-of-factly.
"But they're all over the freakin' internet," I protested.
"Yes, but what beautiful photos! Just think. Someday you will have grandchildren and you can show them how beautiful you were!"
I sighed. Well, at least it beats being judged. So, next time you start getting down about yourself and your new found porn stardom, just go talk to an artsy person. Not only will they not judge you, but they will tell you that you are so hot that even your grandkids will agree.

I had somewhat the same response from some friends. "At least they're hot". Which is completely beside the point!
