PANIC!!!!
OH HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I need a pill or a drink...oh fuck...just give me both.
This is not good. Not good at all.
Okay...calm down Linny. Really...maybe no one ever noticed...maybe none of your neighbors have ever bothered to look up. Right. Maybe each and every one of them suffers from night blindness. Yes...that's it. Night blindness. (*Mental note: Must ask Dr.G to explain full scope of said infliction....strictly for educational purposes of course.*)
Some of you may recall an old post recounting my horror at discovering that the blinds in my bedroom are hopelessly translucent at night. Which inadvertently resulted in nightly strip shows on my part until I caught on.
Obviously I have since made sure that I change elsewhere. However, what I failed to wrap my brain around before now is that my BED is smack dab in front of the HUGE window. So apparently I am not only guilty of putting on strip teases...I have also managed to solidify myself a position in the porn industry.
I suppose my only consolation is that my show is currently on hiatus with no immediate plans to return to filming at this time.
Ugh...WHERE IS MY DRINK???!!!!
If anyone needs me, I'll be shopping for curtains...

Awhhh no! I've always wondered about that too when I'm in the shower at night as there is a window in it and I live on a busy street.
Back when I was a teenager, I ran into my bedroom after a shower and dropped my robe only to look up and see some repair guy on a ladder outside the window!! HORROR!
I bet it's not as bad as you think. Remember, people actually have to be looking up at the exact right moment...
I agree with rawbean.. it's probably not as bad as you think.. keep telling yourself that, ok?
Did you find any curtains yet?
Thanks so much for the laugh! I have not laughed so hard for ages. I should not find this incredibly funny, but for some reason it is! Maybe nobody noticed.
teehEE! no one even noticed I'm betting you...and hey there's nothing wrong with giving passersby a little show every once in a while...not that you DID...just saying.
Really it just makes ou edge-y and way cooler than most. I go to an art school where they have taught me that if you can make up some kind of deeper meanings for your actions then it is art. Maybe you should call it art???
Oh gawd Linny! You need industrial strength curtains!
Or, a neat tick I use is to dim the lights till I can bearly see, so other people can bearly see too, not that there is much to see.
lol, poor you, just think of it as perhaps having provided a little excitement into someone's otherwise dull life.
there must be some very happy people in your neighbourhood, i'm jealous of them in a way i guess
i hope you get some nice curtains though
*snicker* Don’t worry, Linny, I’m sure—hee hee—no one, such as an over-hormoned teenager, even looks up there—ha ha ha—you certainly don’t have any kind of reputation in the neighbourhood. *guffaw*
OK, I’m trying to sympathize here, but it’s too funny. Ummm, happy curtain shopping?
Nice thick, long curtains.
Good luck with that. :)
Cue the porn music: bow chicka bow WOW! Linny, you're a star in my book :) And probably in the books of all your neighbors as well...LOL
This isn't bad at all. I leave the blinds in my bathroom up all the time. That way I don't need to turn on the lights in the morning and I get a sunny shower. This makes me sound way gay, but whatever.
And if they have to look up, they would probably only be able to see a small area of your ceiling. And would probably only see you changing if you changing right in front of the window.
I say to hell with insecurity: forget the curtains and just open the blinds all the time.
Ah hell, girl. The garbage man saw me naked on Wednesday. The electric man saw me last month.
I care not.
I pimp about naked all the time. :)
Join me, won't you?
(Not literally) ;)

LOL!!!
The house I lived in when I was away at school was the same...I had very translucent makeshift student-life curtains...and it was a bungalow. So I was on the ground floor, right in the action. Is it messed up that I just forgot about it after awhile and carried on with my daily routines?
[gasp] you said the f-word
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL - holy fuck is right!!!! OMG< that's hilarious! Sorry Sunshine!
if someone in the neighborhood has gone to all the trouble of figuring out where to stand, and when to look up, and what time you have your little "show"... maybe you owe it to such diligent neighbors to keep the window curtain-free ;-)
I agree with Sarah. Just call it performance art. :)
he he, stop fretting! Just charge next time... seriously, think of the joy you are bringing your neighbourhood. Don't feel bad...
I'm sure no-one was watching... many wished they were I am certainly sure but I think you're OK.
Anyway woman, I've been teaching you better than this... you doth need no excuse to have a tipple. Drink up my beautiful wench and let neighbours gaze enviably upon your body.
I have no idea where the Shakespearean theme was coming from there... but I like it!
Seriously, I have only ever seen 2 pictures of you and I am thinking "air fares... hmmmm." You have it... flaunt it. :-)
Just agreeing that it probably isn't as bad as you think. But I hope you find some cute curtains to put your mind at ease!
Ooooh no! Hey at least you didn't have fans outside throwing tomatoes up or something. Imagine how awkward THAT would be;)
Girl, ain't no reason to panic - but of course ANY reason is a good one to drink.
Consider yourself the rock star of your 'hood now.
how funny ok, maybe not to u but really, it is funny....
Hope you get some thick, thick, but cute curtains....
Have a great weekend!
Next time you put on a show maybe someone can take a pic that you can use on your MySpace.
Don't feel too self concious about it. Probably no one caught the show.
Maybe get some curtains AND a nice blind...for double reassurance. :)
hahahahahahaha! I bet no one has noticed! And even if they had, they would be too polite to say anything anyhow. But now you're paranoid, so anytime a neighbor glances at you, you will be thinking"ahh! they so saw me!" bah! lol. Going to go for blackout curtains?!
This probably won't make you feel any better but during the winter, we have no flowering plants to block the back fence at my house. Well, I decided it would be fun to do a strip tease for my boy one day. In the middle of it, I glanced outside and saw the neighbors all watching. Talk about humiliating moments of your life!!!
Okay laugh? I nearly wet myself. And if I said I want front row seats, would I be in, er, trouble? ;-)
Don't worry.
I won't post it on the internet.
Just use it for my personal gratification and for your career advancement.
Oh how awulf, although I did laugh. I found out I had a peeping tom once, but he was probably looking for months before I caught him. Talk about a show. I am suprised I haven't run across the online photos yet.
i hope you had at least 20 over the weekend and are feeling better this morning.
that was me sass - silly blogger
This is brilliant. I had several friends over a couple of weeks ago and some of the folks were out on the balcony smoking, and noticed how easily you could see into lower floor apartments in the next building. They were all watching a guy watch TV with his cat for a good 5 minutes, when I came outside and asked them if they were looking at the live sex show in the next apartment, I was the only one who had noticed this couple going at it, girl on top, for the whole world to see.
It just goes to show, that even when something like that is very obvious most people will miss it because they don't know exactly where to look. Now I look in that guy's window any time I'm out on the balcony, just in case there is anything good going on in his place, but I've never seen anything interesting since.
I'm curious as to how you discovered that you were seen. That would be a good post.
Haha. That's funny. Yeah, you should get those curtains made of thick fabric. I don't think anyone will remember this in a month or two. Or will they? Hmmm . . . Just kidding.
Will
Aww Lin. What's the problem anyway?
I live in a townhome with some high upstairs windows that open to the whole downstairs. I can't change the blinds because I haven't got a ladder. THUS, the upstairs neighbor acrosse the way gets a great view each time I saunter (sashey even) across the living room in my skivvies (or less).
It really used to bother me - but I stopped caring a long time ago. I figure, he gets a free show, lucky him. (or maybe not so lucky as I do not look like a 20r old these days).
Regardless Linny...if no one's stalking you, you've done nothing to freak about. Lucky them, if anyone saw at all.
Put the bedroom lamp in front of the window, leave it on til you go to sleep and no one will ever see in. It's all about light placement. ;)
Don't worry so much. You're a beautiful woman. Let 'em dream!
