Oh Holy Hannah

I have lived in my current apartment for 7 months and last night I realized something that I had never before noticed. It was dark and as I was getting into my car I looked up at my bedroom window which faces the parking lot and I casually noted that I had left the light on. As I shut the car door...I realized with a gasp, that even with the blinds closed...you could see EVERYTHING through my bedroom window. My headboard, an armoir....and with a shudder I realized that everyone must also be able to see me as well. My mind immediately began to race, counting the number of times I had changed clothes in front of that very window. Holy crap! Since the blinds were closed I had never given it a second thought. It's a good thing I live on the 3rd floor instead of the 1st or 2nd. Maybe not too many people have noticed. Regardless, I think I'll be shopping for curtains soon and changing in the bathroom until then.

Yeah, really! Who cares? I change in front of my windows all the time. Be proud of your body, it's like a temple or something.

In college, I was actually known for it. As soon as I woke up, I opened my blinds. When I was working out, it was appreciated. When I was lazy, well, that's another story.

You know, I dont even have curtains in my place yet, i've been too lazy to buy them. I never change in the bedroom because of that exact reason, and if I do, the lights are off. LOL

Oh Linny! You are going to have to fill me in on apartment living once I sell my house! This is something that I never would have thought of!

Just think of all the people that got to see you and how happy you made them and don't even know it.

It's a well-documented but unknown fact that shear curtains actually block the unwanted stares of voyeurs. The thinner the better.

Typical, I sepnd months finding the flat opposite you... buying all the equipment and now you're going to change in the bathroom. he he... I once got changed thinking everything was fine... then I heard about 4 people cheering and whistling... only realising too late that a whole apartment full of students could look into my bathroom. I put a hat out for a tip and only got 26 pence... now that's the really rude part.

That is one of my worst fears! I hate windows and love natural light. It's a dilemma.

LOL, that sort of like when I guy forgets to do up the zipper of his pants, which I've been known to do in front of hundreds of people, more times than I care to admit.

that's pretty humorous... we have a large bay window in our dining toom and we have a small ranch style house - so if i come out of the shower and i often walk around scaring the neighbors after a shower... my husband calls it "parading."

Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it. Why be embarrassed? You should be embarrased if no one was looking, or if you saw someone turn away in horror.

oh that sucks! it's one thing if you don't care and are the type to saunter around undressed at home, but to be unaware and think you are completely hidden and take comfort in that, is another deal.

WE just put new curtains on our bedroom window. They are some nice sheers and I went outside and checked it out before we even changed clothes in there. Luckly you couldn't see inside.

Lol... good thing you don't have your address on here... you'd have some eager stalkers outside your window from this post! :)
