You’ve just given me a great idea for a short story (fictional, alas).
I’m imagining a gallery exhibition opening, all nudes - drawings, paintings, sculpture, photography. And it turns out, all of the same model - my wife!
She attends the opening, and somehow (will have to five some thought as to HOW), she unexpectedly ends ip being acknowledged (informally) in the remarks by the galley director, when all the artists are introduced.
Maybe the artists all (impromptu) lavish her with accolades, and one of them wishes everyone attending could see what a fantastic model she is “in real time”. One of the artists jokes that he has an a couple oversized sketch pads and easels in his car right now, and it would be super easy to make that happen!!
Then before she knows it, she strips off and poses for some “live” life-drawings at the exhibition opening!! Applause all around when she finishes about 20 minutes later, and she takes Q&A from guests (kind of formally), all while she’s fully nude. And then she circulates in the nude, interacting with guests all evening, taking more questions and engaging in lively conversation into the night.
I can see it all in my minds eye, even as I’m typing this!!
