Debbi In Nature : Take One

Debbi felt incredibly self conscious. It wasn't just the stripping, excruciating though that would be. But she felt ridiculous trying to run around and portray nature's nymph as requested, even before she began taking anything off. "Stop. That's hopeless" asserted Trudy. "We need much more enthusiasm. You don't have to say anything but kind of shout for joy. Yell 'oooh' or 'weeeee' or something, really lose yourself in the moment." Debbi tried again, circling with her arms in the air, head held to the sky. "Weeee" she cried.

"Better. Much better" said Trudy, stopping her again. "Do it once more but this time run past us into the clearing and take your dress off as you run. Then, when you've taken your knickers off, do the same as you have been doing but naked." Debbi gritted her teeth. Her self consciousness had not subsided at all but she'd come this far, might as well just get it over with. For the third time she began the improvised dance, this time running beyond Trudy and Kieron who was tracking her with the camera. Still running, Debbi grabbed the hem of her summer dress, lifted it over her head and threw it aside. She stopped and stooped to haul down her plain cotton knickers and threw them aside too. "Weeee" she yelled embarrassedly, as she tried once more to embark on her supposedly ecstatic dance, this time circling fully naked and waving her arms before the gaze of Kieron's camera. After a minute or so, Debbi stopped and turned to face them.

"What have you stopped for ?" called Trudy. "Isn't that enough ?" Debbi called back. "No, you need to get to the other side of the clearing. And you forgot the cartwheel" answered Trudy. "I'm not doing a cartwheel naked" insisted Debbi. "But it would show your lack of inhibitions and your oneness with nature" Trudy countered. "I don't care, I'm not doing it" said Debbi. "Whatever, I can see you have no concept about art and you've ruined the take now anyway" complained Trudy. "Get dressed again and we'll try take two" she instructed. "I said I was only going to do it once" argued Debbi. "Well who's fault's that ?" said Trudy. "Remember, do what you just did but with a bit more oomph. And get right across to the other side, we'll be following."

Debbi let out an exaggerated sigh but moved to retrieve her knickers and dress for take two !
