Lady Gaga and Style

A new book is coming out that focuses on Lady Gaga's sense of style.

You can read about it here.

I point this out, because as the writer of the article states: My favorite section of the book is "Going Pantsless" because, honestly, does anyone do it better than Gaga when it comes to showing some skin? Clearly, this person has not met me, but otherwise she's probably right.

A Brief History of Nakedness

I just read a book review in The Economist (yes, I read that sometimes, preferably without pants) of a book that sounds intriguing. The review, which you can read here, calls it "thought-provoking, if somewhat frustrating" for what it overlooks.



There's so much in our lives that just assume or don't think about that it's important to step back and think about such things some times. We are born naked. Someone, somewhere, some time decided you should wear clothes, even though they never knew you and never would. Why?

Despite its described flaws, I've added this book to my very long reading list.

Here's the obligatory Amazon link.
