OMG! I’m Naked in School

by M. Millswan

At some time in their life most everyone has experienced a dream where they find themselves naked in a public place. Yet, Carolyn Timmons, a senior at Linda Vista High isn’t dreaming. In fact, she hasn’t slept a wink all night. As one of eighteen female and male students taking part in a controversial new study, when the sun comes up, she must remain naked 24/7 while attending school, driving her car, and even when she goes out on a date. Based upon the true story of a group of teenagers in Bratlesboro, Vt. who decided to go naked for the summer, pretty, young Carolyn must learn to adapt to life without clothes. After disrobing backstage, the principal formally presents Carolyn and the other participants to an assembly of the entire school body. Over the coming weeks, going to classes, hanging out with her friends, and finally, when she performs as a member of the drill team during halftime at the homecoming football game, Carolyn grows bolder and more confident as she faces every challenge imaginable while living life as a naked teenage girl. Seen through her eyes as well as her emotions, each reader will find themselves voyeuristically drawn into the situation of being naked in public to the point where you cannot help but ask “What if this was me?”

I followed an Amazon link to find this book, and when I saw a previous reviewer mention a book I had written in the review for this one, I had to read it. I was, of course, pre-disposed to liking it just because I'm fascinated by the naked in public concept, both in real life and in fiction, and like it I did. I give it four and a half stars (I'm clicking five on Amazon and four on Goodreads). It was an interesting study in the social and political aspects of going nude in daily life, told mostly through the eyes of a female 18-year-old college student. There was one chapter early in the nudity study told through the point of view of two officers that I didn't think worked, although those officers kept reappearing throughout the story. There's also a scene in the mall where Carolyn, our main character, meets her minister. That minister gives her a sincere and heartfelt invitation to Sunday's service, but we never hear anything else about that. Did Carolyn go, or did she decide not ? That just seems like a missed opportunity. But for the most part, OMG! was a very enjoyable read, one that I had trouble putting down once I started.

Spite it was written based on a true story, this novel was written with great care and seriousness. In the United States of America, we are too prudish over our own [naked] bodies. It is more than religion or some moral code. I believe it has everything to do with industries. From https://maloney.house.gov, "Fashion is a $1.2 trillion global industry, with more than $250 billion spent annually on fashion in the United States, according to industry analysts." That is far too much!! Spite the facts, most around the world, especially in European nations, are extremely open-minded towards natural nudity, and a good many have directly stated, "Americans are prudes" regarding their fear of the naked body.

This novel is a simple example of how average people in the USA would react if they were under the free will to go naked for one month. I don't have to give out any spoiler here because a person's brain will react differently to any given situation from other. If you are curious about how it would be to be naked in public for one month and 24/7 everywhere in a given county, I challenge you to read this book. It will change your life forever more!
