First Time Modeling Nude for a Group

After This Evening I Will Be A Life Drawing Model! It's finally going to happen! I'll be modeling nude for a group of women this evening. This will be the first time I model nude to be sketched and the first time I will have ever modeled nude in front of more than one person. The first time I will be the Only One Naked in a group of strangers. It's an activity planned as a part of a baby shower with a toga party theme. The lady who picked me to model said this group of women have taken art classes before as a group but none of them have ever sketched a nude before so it should be interesting for us all.I'm still not sure what I'm feeling about doing this in front of such a large group, all of the opposite sex. I modeled nude once for a young lady photography student and it wasn't all that bad taking off the last piece of clothing I had, but she was behind a camera and I wasn't holding poses for very long. It was almost like the camera was a shield between her eyes and my naked body. But this this evening I will be holding one pose, maybe for as long as an hour, and there will be nothing between my nakedness and the eyes of twenty women. Twenty women looking at every detail of my body, how light hits each surface of every part, how every shadow falls. When it is over these women, who I don't know yet, will know every detail of my body, probably better than I do myself. I will definitely have to write about how the experience effected me after it's over. Right now I have no idea what to feelings to expect as I take off my last piece of clothing before a group of women I don't know. At least I had been able to chat with and get to know the young female photography student before taking my clothes of in front of her to help her with a class project. The other time I posed nude was for fellow photographer, and friend, who wanted to try shooting the male form since all he had shot before were women. I'm so glad my wonderful fiancee is supportive of me doing this. She knows I need some artistic release and this is one of the ways I have chosen. I LOVE HER SO MUCH! Yes, this should be a pretty interesting evening.
