14 Pinay Secrets to Look Good Naked



When you take your clothes off, there’s no doubt that you want to look good naked. Whether you're posing in front of your mirror or an art class or photographer, going skinny dipping, visiting a nude beach, or just baring all for a special someone, the most obvious way to look good naked is to get into the shape that you want to be in. However, that requires discipline. However, there are other ways to look good naked that don't involve hitting the gym or counting your calories.

Stand up straight. This is, by far, the most important step, because no one looks good naked when he or she is hunched over. Straighten your spine, throw your shoulders back, take a deep breath, and relax without letting your shoulders slump forward. Having good posture will make your shoulders look broader if you're a guy, and it will make your chest look perkier if you're a woman. Plus, when you elongate your torso, you stretch out any fat in your midsection (when you slump, the fat clumps together into rolls and folds).

Aim to stand on the diagonal, with a twist at the waist to the front instead of facing your viewer straight on- this will naturally cinch you in. Drop your shoulders down and subtly arch your back, this will flatten your belly and make your boobs appear perkier. Whether standing, walking or sitting down aim to keep one leg in front of the other, this slims the body. A quick trick when sitting is that if you want to elongate your legs, you should point your toes. Eye contact is crucial; it makes all the difference between being just a naked body, or somebody naked, so use it wisely.

Don't eat right before you strip. No one is going to look good naked with a stomach stuffed full of pasta. If you want to look good naked, make sure you eat in moderation before you take off your clothes! You should also stay away from foods that cause gas and bloating (beans, carbonated beverages, etc). If your stomach expands anyway, try to go for a walk or make a trip to the bathroom--both will help move things along, so to speak.
 
Take care of your skin. When you're naked, it's all you've got. First, exfoliate your skin (especially rough patches like elbows and knees) to remove dead skin cells and expose a fresh new (soft) layer of skin. You may also want to shave or wax any hair that you find unflattering. Just remember that waxing can cause irritation, so make sure you have enough time for any redness and swelling to subside. And with shaving, time it so that you're not dealing with a five o'clock shadow (stubble) just when you're about to take off your clothes. If you have the time, use self-tanner to even out your skin tone and mask any imperfections.
 
Update your hair. Your hair is the only fashion statement you'll be wearing so it needs to look current, soft, healthy and touchable (give the hairspray and sticky gel a miss, unless you really, really need it). Most important of all, you need a cut which suits the shape of your face and is in proportion to the size of your body. Find a good hairdresser and visit often for a regular trim and occasional restyle.
 
Don't forget your extremities. Jagged nails, white knuckles, and the smell of onions you cut for dinner stir-fry just aren't flattering. Clip your nails to an appropriate length, wash your hands and feet, and apply some lotion if they're dry. Additionally, you can get a professional manicure and pedicure or learn to do it yourself, if that's the look you're going for. Keep your hands relaxed and free, or place one on your hip to emphasize your curves. And whatever you do- don't fiddle.
 
Apply a bit of makeup, if it's your thing. (Men can wear makeup too.) A natural look will go best with your natural body, and besides, you don't want your face paint to come off on the bed cloths. Just a little bit of subtle makeup can work wonders to accentuate your good points and camouflage the points you're less than happy with. And you can also use a bit of body makeup to cover up flaws such as spider veins.
 
Smile. If you're not happy with the color of your smile, look into teeth whitening options. Most importantly of all, smile because it signals that you’re happy with your body, and will make you (and anyone else who’s present) feels comfortable with your nakedness. Plus it shows confidence!
 
Let your eyes sparkle! When your smile reaches your eyes, you want them to sparkle, not show the effects of too many nights burning the candle at both ends. Get plenty of beauty sleep before taking it all off, or as a last resort for a special occasion, use eye drops to give your eyes a special glint.
 
Smell good. Don't overpower the world with too much fragrance or use a whole selection of competing products - differently perfumed shampoo, deodorant, soap and body lotion can be a toxic combination. Lightly layered perfume from matching bath products and no more than a light spray of fragrance from the same range will leave you smelling good as well as looking good.
 
Adjust the lighting. Remember that no one looks their best under bright fluorescent light - soft lighting or candle light will improve the mood of the moment AND your body. It'll also make your pupils dilate, which creates a subconscious impression that you're more attractive!
Back lighting is great for smoothing out lumps and bumps so position yourself in front of the strongest light, or in front of a window if you are getting naked before nightfall. But don't forget, those outside will also be able to see in!

Feel good naked. In the end, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your own skin, and that you realize that your body isn't perfect--no one's is. If you've taken the steps above and you still dread seeing (or letting someone else see) what you look like when you are naked, dig a little deeper. Build your confidence from the inside out.

Get the room temperature right. Although the cold will make your breasts stand to attention, shivering with hunched shoulders isn't a sexy look. A glow is good, but sweating profusely is not.
Accessorize. Accentuate your nakedness with a prop or accessory. A necklace, scarf, or feather boa is great, but don't be afraid to go with something a little more unusual. This will give you something to work with if you are a little nervous, and also, tantalizingly, this emphasizes your natural state.

Get confident and get naked. No one else has a body like yours- so show it off in all its glory. If you usually shave your pubic hair, try waxing instead. Shaving can leave you an unsightly rash with ingrown hairs.  If all else fails, you’ve eaten too much pasta, your jeans have popped the first two buttons, you’re bleary eyed, your make-up is smudged and you never did do your toning exercises, bear in mind you are still a beautiful person. And if you're married, the person you are getting naked with probably couldn’t care less - or at least they shouldn't!

WHEN A PINAY DREAMS OF BEING NAKED

I wonder if it is safe to say that almost every Filipina has had a dream where she was naked, or scantily clad in just her underwear. But I am certain that somehow the typicality of such instance is very real. Perhaps the dream was in school, or in a grocery store or even just walking down the street without a stitch of clothing on her back. Maybe she suddenly found herself nude on a beach, naked on the bus or up on a stage in her birthday suit. This is a common dream pattern, yet nakedness is a complex symbol in dreams which could be dependent on the culture in which the dream occurs and who is interpreting the experience. 

Dream patterns arise from a society's shared beliefs, experiences, fears and anxieties, literally from the hopes and dreams of the people both individually and collectively. As such, these experiences which are fundamental to all peoples, will hold significant dependence upon the culture's attitude toward them. One population’s attitude toward nakedness can vastly differ from others. For example, in Pinoy culture, public nudity is a taboo and in almost all areas it is connotes abnormality and public scandal. As such, the Pinoy attitude towards nakedness is unfavorably a social humiliation.

Sigmund Freud considered the dream of nakedness as a typical dream and it fulfills an exhibitionistic wish. There are three characteristics of the dream of nakedness: shame at being naked, indifference on the part of the spectators (usually numerous), and the sense of being paralyzed. It can be interpreted as a fulfillment of an exhibitionistic wish dating back to the happy period of early childhood, when such a wish could legitimately be satisfied.  Such would be the case if a parent taught their child that nakedness and the human body are to be something hidden from the public view, or even more compounded if the parent taught that nudity is something to be ashamed of. Dreams of nakedness enable the dreamers to express their "undying longing for the return of the paradise of childhood. Dreams of nakedness, always linked to an erotic or exhibitionistic theme, are universal, and accordingly should be considered typical dreams. Despite their commonality, however, they have not yet led to a specific theorization.

However, wherever the origin of nakedness anxieties arise for an individual or culture as a whole, the human mind tends to create dreams in flashes of visual imagery which can symbolically represent our individual personal hopes and fears. For one dreamer, a dream of being naked could be a window to the inner self which indicates a fear of sexuality, being exposed or vulnerability and weakness. For yet another, it may have a more positive spin, indicating attributes such as honesty and openness (such as in the cliché "the naked truth").
Only the dreamer can interpret her own dreams of nakedness. For the Filipina, it could mean that wonderful feeling of being uninhibited, unencumbered, of being free to express herself as she chooses. For another, dream nudity will be a nightmare representing complete exposure of the deepest, most hidden parts of the self.

Dream dictionaries, interpreters and psychiatrists will all offer suggestions on what nakedness means in the dream based on their personal proclivities and schooling. You can go to any modern bookstore and find shelves of books which will tell you that one particular dream motif means one thing or another. However, you must decide for yourself how important underwear is to you, and what it means to be naked in the dream.

Dreams are a kind of entertainment and learning experience of their own at the same time. If you can figure out your dreams, you may have more insight into what needs paying attention to in your own life. In the meantime, dream well.

Naked Views at the Airports

Here is some bad news for terrorists! Well, I'm not sure how this one will fare with our demure and conservative Pinay beauties and Pinoy hunks.

An X-ray machine that generates "naked" images of passengers was pioneered at an airport enabling staff to instantly catch a glimpse of any hidden weapons or explosives. Just as luggage is systematically X-rayed to see what's inside, airport security personnel have tested this scanner which looks through clothes for drugs and concealed weapons. But is modesty preserved?The thrilling worries for the naked Pinay views could be a delicate issue. It could be seen as  invasive and pernicious.

The X-rays in effect strip you naked - little is left to the imagination and it’s very graphic." Here, privacy could be an issue. The general outline of the body can be seen, along with some blurry details of the anatomy. It shows about as much as if the person were wearing a tight bathing suit. Obviously, it must be used with discretion, such as ensuring that the monitor is visible only to the security screener. While the scanner is more invasive than a conventional metal detector, it is more effective as it can detect "21st Century weapons" such as explosives and plastic guns.

What it does is reduce the resolution at certain parts of the body, much like a broadcaster can pixelate someone's face. At present, the only way of locating these dangerous items is through a pat-down search, where the security officer rubs his hands over the person's body."

Already the scanner is in use in the US and worldwide in airports, embassies, court buildings, prisons and government properties. While modesty was preserved during the police operation by the scanner - and its operators - being hidden away in a mobile unit, civil liberties advocates have raised concerns about an operator's code of conduct and any risks of passers-by having a look.

The full body scanner can produce a 360° digital image of the body - minus clothes in just six seconds.  And will also show up any breast enlargements, false limbs, piercings, and a clear outline of passengers' private parts. What shows up is the naked human form and anything concealed on the person: coins in a pocket, trouser studs, metal or ceramic knives, guns, explosives, drugs. The shin bones, which lie close to the skin's surface, can also be seen, as other features such as the cleft between buttocks.

Some passengers might not want to be scanned because of the graphic nature of the images and they can refuse to undergo the virtual strip search at  the terminal opting for the traditional "pat down" search instead. But the black and white image will only be seen by one officer in a remote location before it is deleted. Most customers do not like the traditional "pat down" search, they find it too intrusive, but they still want to be kept safe.

This scanner completely takes away the hassle of needing to undress. The images are not erotic or pornographic and they cannot be stored or captured in anyway. The scanner makes the check-in process much quicker for passengers, who will not have to remove their coats, shoes or belts.

Frequent flyers do not need to worry about radiation from the low-level X-ray. Passengers can go through this machine 5,000 times a year each without worrying, it is super safe and the amount of radiation transmitted is tiny. Electromagnetic waves are beamed on to passengers while they stand in a booth, and a virtual three-dimensional "naked" image is created from the reflected energy.
