End of the road for some of the Social

A brief note about View from the Plateau and my Paper Li accounts.  I'm cutting back on the material and time being done on social networks and blogging.  I'm tired of it - and increasingly the comments and material coming in to my streams is asinine.  So I'm quitting them and getting a life.  In declaring Social media bankruptcy, I will leave only one site open, and this is it.

I also noticed they put "Tasteful" in quotes. I've corrected the headline in my post to make it a little less sneering. Secondly, it reminded me of a text argument I had with a friend the other day. We were discussing her sitting - and I had posited the idea of a nude pose. Her response was "I'm not a slut - I won't pose nude". Well having done photos, sketches, drawings paintings, of nudes many times it brought to mind a comment I heard from a model a long time ago. "It's not posing nude for...
