As to public nudity, doesn't bother me that much, as long a it is done tastefully and in this case it was not done tastefully.

I get the impression that this is a new experience to her, that she didn't think it through far enough to make it a well-polished performance and she was a bit awkward doing it.

There are also some nudes on occasion at the DMA sculpture garden and the Nasher.

When I photographed the sculptures, I tried to include at least one shot of the plaques bearing the artist name and date. My favorite is the maid with the water bucket, though I was impressed with Hercules the Archer. It was as I was walking around the corner from Hercules over to the mother and baby dancing that I encountered that fierce wind that sucked my note cards out of my shirt pocket.

I associate nudity with change and memories of the past and ghosts. Goat Hill has the ruins of a building (not the most interesting example, but still ruins) and spectacular view to the West of Dallas, besides some background of the Downtown Dallas skyline. I shot my avatar from the top of Goat Hill.

I haven't been there. I'll have to have a look.
