Hen Night - Male life drawing

Yep I've been on one of these hen parties before and it was really good fun! Slightly older audience with the MOB, my Mum, Aunties etc. Everyone started out a bit giggly but by the end we were all concentrating more on the drawing! If you get a reputable model he should discuss it all with you first and find out what you are comfortable with. The B2B had to pose (fully clothed) kneeling next to him but it was all in good taste.

Middle class excuse for a stripper, innit? ?

Can't say it appeals to me although haven't done it. It's not pretty and I don't like to draw.

This. I quit art aged 14 for a reason and I have no desire to stare at a strange man's bits for several hours.

I went to a hen do recently where we did this, it was great fun. The B2B went out to the toilet and while she was gone the lady leading it asked if we thought she would pose with the model, we negotiated a pose that we knew she would feel comfortable with, there was no pressure for her to do anything risque.

oh thats different. I wouldn't flitch at this. i did this for, erm, 6 years! first lesson is a bit WTF but it becomes second nature very quickly. not sure about it as a group activity, i tend to find life drawing very solitary even if your in a group, but I'm probably seeing it with my arty glasses on.

This sounds brilliant - i am going to email my MOH right away!!
