Welcome to the Skin Show Hi. I’m Kristin. I’m 38 years old, my thighs touch, my boobs are slightly uneven, and I haven’t worn real pants since the Obama administration. You’re reading this because you’re at least curious about being naked, or maybe you’re just looking for a book to hide behind while you’re secretly topless on your back porch. Either way, welcome to the magical, breezy, and slightly sunburn-prone world of nude living. Let me get one thing out of the way: I wasn’t born nude. Well, I was, obviously, but I mean spiritually. Metaphorically. Existentially. My ...

Okay listen, if you're clutching your pearls already, you might wanna set this book down gently, back away slowly, and go find a nice cozy read about crocheting tea cozies or organizing sock drawers by mood. This book? This book is about being naked. Literally. Fully. Consistently. Sometimes boldly, sometimes accidentally, sometimes with a tube of aloe vera and a very sunburned left boob. Hi. I'm Kristin. I’m 38, proudly Pacific Northwest born and wine-soaked, living just outside Seattle where it rains more than my mother’s judgmental comments at Thanksgiving. I drive a Volvo XC60, ...

Hi, I’m Kristin, and I vote naked. I also cook naked, garden naked, do yoga naked, have long-winded political rants naked, and once accidentally joined a Zoom school board meeting while entirely in my birthday suit. (They’ve since updated their policies. You’re welcome, Snohomish County.) If you’re clutching your pearls already, loosen your grip, darling. We’re gonna be here a while. Let me clear something up right away. Being a nudist isn’t about sex. Well, okay, sometimes it is. But mostly it’s about comfort, confidence, and the pure chaotic thrill of doing normal adult ...

Look, I know what you’re thinking. “Kristin, why the hell would anyone buy a car nude?” And to that, I say, have you met me? Let me back up. I’ve always been a Subaru girl. Born and bred in the soggy pine-scented bosom of the Pacific Northwest, where everyone wears flannel and pretends they enjoy hiking, I’ve owned three Outbacks and a Forester. My very first car was a Honda Civic that coughed like a smoker every time I turned left, but once I hit adulthood and got a big-girl job and could afford an upgrade, it was Subaru life forever. Until recently. My last Outback, a 2016, ...

Too bad he is completely off limits... or is he? This laugh-out-loud romcom is a standalone novella in The Matchmaker Files—a series of interconnected romances set inside a modern matchmaking agency. You’ll love it if you like: Cinnamon roll heroes Grumpy-meets-sunshine vibes (grumpy heroine) ...

Okay, let’s just get this out of the way. I’m naked right now. Not in a sexy candlelight, rose petals, Marvin Gaye kind of way. I’m just sitting on my patio chair with a coconut La Croix, no pants, two mosquito bites on my left butt cheek, and a story to tell. You’re welcome. If you’re here reading this, you’ve probably experienced one of the following: You’re curious about this whole nude lifestyle thing and wondering if it makes your soul sexier You’ve been naked with someone and either fallen in love or wanted to crawl under a rock and live there forever You googled “...

Okay, so I didn’t grow up thinking I’d spend a good chunk of my adult life naked in front of strangers. I wasn’t some free-spirited, boob-painted-in-a-parade kind of teenager. I was a Pacific Northwest girl with a tendency to wear fleece in July and an unhealthy fear of splinters in places where the sun don’t shine. And yet, here I am at thirty-eight, regularly airing out my hoo-ha on public beaches and writing a book about it. Life’s funny like that. My name’s Kristin, and I believe in three things: good coffee, decent SPF coverage, and the right to let your cheeks flap freely ...

I didn’t mean to become obsessed with naked people. It just sort of... happened. One minute I was a perfectly normal, panty-wearing woman doing my grocery shopping and wondering if I left the crockpot on, and the next I was googling “Can your neighbors see you naked through tinted windows” because Damian had insisted on air-drying after every single shower like he was a damn rotisserie chicken. It all started with Damian, of course. Beautiful, brown-eyed Damian with the body of a Greek god and the modesty of a sleepy toddler who lost his pajama bottoms. The first time I saw him naked,...

If you’re holding this book, I’m going to assume one of three things. One, you’re genuinely curious about the wild world of bodily functions and not afraid to laugh about it. Two, you’ve had a recent “incident” and need answers. Or three, you just like the word shart and wanted to see where this was going. No judgment. All of the above is perfectly reasonable. Now, let’s get something straight right outta the chute. I am not a doctor. I am not a scientist. I’m just a woman with a long history of bowel-related mishaps, a love for sciencey rabbit holes, and zero shame about ...

Now listen, I wasn’t always the kind of person who thought nudity had spiritual properties. In fact, I used to clutch my towel tighter than a Southern grandma clutching her pearls during a thunderstorm. But one Tuesday morning, while holding a lukewarm cup of gas station coffee and watching a squirrel scratch its butt in a moment of pure, unselfconscious glory, I had a revelation. That squirrel didn’t care about judgment or cellulite or tax season. It just lived. Naked. And free. And probably itchy, but still, the point stands. I didn’t set out to become a naked runner. I wasn’t ...

Alright y’all, let me paint you a picture. It’s 7:42 p.m. on a Wednesday. I’m buck naked in my kitchen, holding a glass of cabernet like it's a weapon of self-love, stirring a pot of risotto with one hand and trying not to let my boob graze the hot pan because that is how nipples die. Tanya just texted me, “U up?” which means she’s either drunk or about to ask me if I still have that bottle of whipped cream vodka in my freezer from our “Bachelor Finale and Feelings” night. (Yes, I do. And no, I’m not proud of it.) Now listen, if you’ve never eaten a warm chocolate lava ...

Meet Charley Smollett, aka Michael Palin. Charley, like Mr Palin, is a seasoned traveller of the world - well, certain parts of Somerset - in his trusty caravan, along with his long-suffering wife Shirl, his bickering teenage kids Jack and Chloe, their gypsy friends Arffa and Girt, and of course not forgetting Charley's friendly nemesis, PC John Holland, aka Robocop. Hitching Up is a blisteringly funny series of adventure stories and, as author Bill Jackman says, it contains no sex or violence - apart from maybe a bit of a snog and a punch on the nose.

So here's the thing. I didn’t grow up thinking, you know what would really make my life better? More nudity. I wasn’t some mystical forest child twirling through the grass with daisy chains on my nipples. I was a fully clothed, slightly neurotic, Target-bra-wearing woman with a Costco membership and a tendency to apologize when someone else bumps into me. The most skin I used to show was when I wore those tiny socks that don’t even cover your heel. And now here I am, writing a whole damn book about living naked. Life is weird. I’m Kristin. I’m 38. I’ve had 11 boyfriends, 2 ...

It's like a stand-up comedy special in written format. Part-humor, part-anecdote, part-observation, One Odd Cat: Strange Adventures in Strangeness is a trippy journey along the offbeat logic of a casual, lifelong philosopher. If you drew a Venn diagram with three circles, one for wit, one for wisdom, and one for weird, this book would be dead center... but somehow still off-kilter. One Odd Cat: Strange Adventures in Strangeness takes readers along for the ride through the eccentric observations of Larry Nocella. This collection of true bizarre adventures includes dozens of observations, ...
