Question:
How much would it take for you to bare it all?

I saw the movie, About Schmidt, last night. I was shocked to see Kathy Bates, one of my favorites, bare it all in the hot tub scene. Like most of us, her body is less than perfect. When I mentioned my surprise to my husband he said " you would do it to if they paid you what they pay her". At first I said no way, but when he started naming amounts I decided I would do it pretty quick for the right number. I was thinking around $10,000, dropping a thousand for every 25 lbs I lose. Did I sell out too cheaply?    — Tawnda C. (posted on January 13, 2003)

Erinn... you go girl! Oh my, that made me chuckle this morning and I really needed it! I don't think I would EVER be able to bare it all. I don't think there is a right amount. I really need to work on this self image issue! But for all those with the confidence.. I say go for it!

Hey Tawnda, I just wanted you to know that you made my Monday morning a lot brighter!! I needed a smile this morning!! I don't know how much it would take to bare it all or even if I could but to know that someone 'less than perfect' did is great!!

Hmmmm....At my heaviest (321 pounds) I wouldn't even et naked for my hubby in the dark! I am now 98 pounds lighter, but still have about 60 to go. Now are we talking naked in front of a couple of people or on film? On film, nadda. Thats a <i>forever</i> kinda thing. If I was just heavy without all the excess skin a danglin', I might. Now if it were just nude in front of some people, hell I'd jog around the neighborhood in my b-day suit for a mere 5k! Hey, gotta pay for the surgery somehow!...........Props to Carney for posing for Playboy (April issue). I was thinking, even though she has had her reconstructive surgeries, SURELY she still has some stretch marks, but hey, they airbrush everybody else in there! I don't think I would ever "pose" nude, even with a fabulous body, but ya never know!

There's an old saying..."Everyone has their price." I know mine's pretty high, but Erinn, you're my heroine! LOL

I decided to ask my husband how much I should charge. His answer is one million now and when I lose all my weight - at least two million. But I guess I'd take less for one with certain areas covered up seductivly! HE HE

Do we have to take into account the funeral costs for all the people who died of horror/shock after seeing me naked??? ;)

I would do it for $10,000 -- as long as whoever was crazy enough to be paying me for a naked pic would first pay for all of my plastic surgery :)

I'm with you, girlfriend! I'd do it in a heartbeat. As for a price - as much as I could get! Easy money! LOL! My husband would be mortified, though... LOL

Years ago I saw Kathy Bates in a movie where she was a missionaries wife in some 3rd world country and her child or both her children died of a fever and she went crazy and came out of her hut bare naked with just some vines intertwined in her hair. After the shock we laughed for days. We were laughing at her crazy behavior not her body. I think we has no issues with her weight or self image and good for her. If anyone remembers the name of the movie please email me! I'd like to see it again! By the way...you couldn't pay me enough even after I hit goal!

If it's just in front of strangers, then I'd go for it for $500K! I don't care so much about people I don't know but to do it in front of people I know I'd need at least a million!

Well, considering the fact that at this point my boobs are long enough that I could tie them behind my back and my belly hangs low enough to cover my tootie, I'd do it for a cheesecake! :0)Kehli

The sad thing I'm hearing is about self-image. At 235 and 5ft. I'm naked around my husband all the time. I'm not ashmed to change in the locker room at the gym. And I went naked into a hot tub with other women at a spa in a posh hotel. If we can't love ourselves...who will?

I would do it for less then $1000 in front of people but not on film. Just a few years ago my husband and I would go skinny dipping with two other couples after dark. Sometimes we would play volleyball and the guys who where "Normal size" compared to the women who where all Morbid obesity or bigger, where more embarrassed to get the volleyball when it was knocked out of the pool. they would always run back to the pool with the ball in front of them, Us women would just get the ball through it in the pool and jump back in. I maybe fat but I'm not ashamed of my body.

I'm with Erinn and Christine...give me a quarter. I'm so damned proud of myself. (This is a great question, by the way...and ROCK ON Kathy Bates!!!) (Oh...one more thing...I probably would have done it pre-op, too.) (God, I hope my mom doesn't read this).
