Ah, but if you had the mental innocence of your young childhood back you'd not have a problem with it. I'm guessing that most of us don't have a huge amount of public nudity experience with which to formulate an 'I don't like it' view. So we don't like it due to a myriad of social influences that tell us we shouldn't like it. The very idea that someones state of dress should be something we like/dislike is a bit weird.
I've overcome a fair bit of my mental baggage but think my attitude to my weight would still stop me going nude. This is ludicrous and is closely related to my preference for wearing black and for 'looser
' fitting clothing. Yet there are 'legendary' family stories of my naked exploits in my pre-school years. As far as being caught nearly half a mile from home at the local shops.Sorry I know you were being more lighthearted and don't want to turn this into a debate, it's just something that makes me wonder.

Where was the fist photo taken from ? (top of Marble Arch ?)

My embarrassment was covered by clothing: I was a photographer for the event rather than a participant. :-)
The first photo was taken from a cherry-picker I hired for the purpose.

All looks good fun - but I think I would get a bit camera shy, would need to wear a sock on it, and that would probably be an iPod sock

I notice that's a black and white photo though, are you trying to hide the true colour of your hair?
