So, if I’m wearing a book jacket does that count as only half-nekkid? (The book, by the way, is A History of Celibacy by Elizabeth Abbott. I’m only a little more than half-way through it but I’m not sure it’s possible to really understand contemporary Western sexuality without it. It’s definitely recommended reading.)

Happy HNT (or Half-nekkid Thursday!)

Doh! And Osbasso’s actual assignment for this week was to pick our favorite HNT photo of the year.
I think it would have to be this one…

but this one…

and this one…

Seemed to be the most popular.

I think it counts, and kudos to you for encouraging literacy. A sort of PSA through HNT. :)
[Heh. Thanks, Tortie. --fl]

The folded arms was my favorite.
Happy HNT
[A lot of people really liked that. I'm going to have to do a whole series focusing on arms and hands. (My Comic Effects series goes there too.) Thanks, Five. --fl]

goose bumps - weren't you freezing?!?!
[The things I do for regular readers, eh? It was *very* cold but worth it for the dramatic effect. Thanks, Phain. --fl]

Great new HNT.
I do love the one in the snow and I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must have been!
[Thanks, AAG. What's the point of blogging if it can't inspire you to do, well, inspired works? :-) --fl]

What a wonderful way to encourage literacy :)
Happy HNT, and Happy New Year.
[Good point! (Let's suggest a literacy-promoting book HNT theme to Osbasso.) Happy HNT and a happy New Year to you and yours, Cat. Thanks. --fl]

It would be difficult for me to choose a favorite but I'm loving the snow.
Very sexy indeed!
[Glad you enjoyed them, Rachel. Thank you! --fl]

All great pics..now could you let me read the inside flap of the book? sounds interesting...
Happy HNT!

I'm sure photo #1 will usher in a new era of product placement. ;-)
Which is my favorite? I'm not up to decision-making today, so I'll just take them all, thank you.
Happy HNT Figleaf!
[Oh no! Never say "product placement," it'll only encourage them. :-) Thanks, Kochanie. --fl]

Having tried the naked in the snow thing this weekend ...
I must go with the snow...
and the crossed arms... and the book.... and....
[Thanks, NOS. Glad I posted all of them then. --fl]

Oh my...so many comments...which one to choose...
A) I LOVE a good hardback.
B) Is that a bookmark, or are you just happy to see me?
C) Don't just sit there...pick up a book!!
Instead I believe I will just say...
Thank you.
You are stunning and I have loved each and every photo!
HHNT!
[Thanks, Becca. I appreciate it. --fl]

Oh criminey Figleaf, you make it almost impossible for a girl to choose her favorite! HHNT! and Happy New Year!

Ha! That book is on my Amazon wish list. But I don't think it comes with the fun, um, extras.
Btw... isn't that snow COLD??
[Note: I first found the book in the library but bought my own copy so I could mark it up. Check there. It was cold but the results were worth it. Thanks, Amber. --fl]

i like the folded arms, but I am a sucker and a stickler for nice forearms.
[Next chance I get I'll work on a forearm study. Thanks, RE. --fl]

Very nice choices. You do good work Fig. I like the crossed arms especially. Shows off the musculature well. HHNT and Happy New Year.

Oh, the jeans. And going commando. And my favorite? Reading your comments to the comments. I await your reply!
[Funny thing is I never imagine real commandos "going commando." But underwear? Usually only when I'm going to the doctor or getting measured for... well... I dunno, a tuxedo or something. Otherwise not. Thanks, Red. --fl]

Way, way late I know but the eyes have it, if I can choose from the whole year. Out of your choice, it has to be either the arms or the, um, book. Even now I can't cope with the thought of snow that's *still* not melting.
[Thank for taking a look at all of them, A. I'm glad you liked the eyes. And the book. --fl]
