|
|---|
Standing naked in the centre of Hull in the small hours of the morning
is not something I ever expected to be doing. But that’s where I found
myself on Saturday, wearing nothing but my own skin, painted blue,
alongside 3,200 other like-minded people, shivering slightly in the dawn
breeze. As soon as I heard about Spencer Tunick’s vision for his latest

Why Dating Naked Is Actually a Fantastic Idea
|
|---|
In an era of uber-connectivity and endless apps, it's getting
increasingly difficult to cut through the conveyor belt of dating BS in
order to discover who a person really is. It's the great irony of our
times: we can access one another instantly from across the globe; but
carefully contrived bios and curated assemblages of profile pics mean we
get little more than self-censored glimpses into a person’s
