interview teaser

Me: You’ve caught a lot of criticism for appearing nude on your blog. Do the naysayers ever get to you?

Raymi: No, but their nagging is annoying. I’m not spread eagled or anything you know some of it is “artistic” not smutty. Do they go to erotica websites and say YOU ARE ONLY POPULAR BECAUSE YOU ARE NUDE. (It’s) pathetic. It’s only a small part of my blog The skinnier I get the more I will put up so they should get used to it or go away.

My blog is a celebration of myself. As cheesy as that is it is the truth. Should I wear a pillow case and cover up? No. Should I feel hated for (appearing nude)? no. I think it’s very telling of people’s character when they freak out about nudity in general. It’s not a big deal. If I like how I look then I take a picture of it, cause beauty and youth doesn’t last forever.

Me: What do you think it says about the people who freak out.

Raymi: I don’t want to say (they’re) jealous cause that’s a total cliché response. But it does hold a lot of bearing (But) it’s more than jealousy, I think.

Me: Like what?

Raymi: A blog can be very personal and when you read it you feel like that person is talking to you. People have told me that they feel like I am their friend cause I have a personal spin to some of my writing. I make it seem like I am talking to you privately so if I’m doing that as well as being naked the person might feel like it is too much

If a girl shows her naked body it’s cause she wants attention and some people narrow in on that and get offended like HOW DARE SHE ASK FOR ATTENTION. And if they aren’t comfortable showing their own bodies they can’t handle you doing it.

So they take it as a personal affront. I dunno people are weird. And a lot of them are anonymous too.
