Publisher's summary

What do artist models think about while posing nude on the stand? Do they watch you as much as you watch them? Are they musing about their misadventures or what they want to do when they put their clothes back on and go home? Is it possible that they are living, breathing bodies who may be reminiscing about their trips to Europe, Morocco, or New York City? Are they perhaps cold, itchy, or trying not to sneeze? Was it different for artist models in the 1970s in Los Angeles or San Francisco? What were the union rules for those in the San Francisco Model's Guild? What about the world of theatre? Is it very different from the world of artist modeling? The answers to all these pressing questions are in this memoir.

This should be a Netflix series!

Rarely do I come across a book that not only hits on all cylinders,but is also narrated engagingly by the author as well .Buckle up as the author takes you on an intimate, fascinating and often hilarious life journey that rivets you!This would be a great screenplay for a Netflix or TV series!

So many great experiences!

This is a great read! I really enjoyed hearing about the author’s “life on the stand,” a profession I didn’t realize was an actual profession. I enjoyed all the other stories of travel she shared about her life during the 60’s and 70’s. I also really liked that the author did the narration herself. I felt like she was telling me the story herself.
