I love: BBQ food (including the side-dishes like potato salad), Hermann Hesse books (especially The Glass Bead Game), trees and tree climbing and tree-houses, hide-and-go-seek, vigilante justice, Victor Lustig, the ocean, traveling, hieghts, Douglas Adams books, strangers, sweet potato fries, nacho pizza, having infinite super-powers and jumping on the bed.

"The idea of wilderness needs no defense, only more defenders." -Edward Abbey

"Things had certainly come down a long way since the great days of Faust and Mephistopheles, when a man could gain all the knowledge of the universe, achieve all the ambitions of his mind and all the pleasures of the flesh for the price of his soul. Now it was a few record royalties, a few pieces of trendy furniture, a trinket to stick on your bathroom wall and, whap, your head comes off." - Douglas Adams




I first came to this website as a recovering nudist who mistook the site as a support group for people like me, one that used art therapy to ease the transition back to clothing. This was very empowering for me and I bought my first shirt unsure of how this whole 'clothing' thing would go over, if I could really stick with it. Fearing a relapse I started small, I had the one shirt and I wore it, eventually I bought pants, and from there I branched out (I now even own socks!). I have come to the realization that this is not intentionally a support group for recovering nudists, but that doesn't matter, it was here when I needed it, whether it meant to be or not, and I am so proud with the progress I have made.
My name is Andrea and I am nude no more!
