Inspired by brilliant artist Spencer Tunick, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/8655680.stm I need several volunteer ladies to pose nude around my garden.
As Spencer, I will be photographing you from several angles and the art produced will be displayed on the internet, for other art connoisseurs to appreciate.

I am planning to issue you with a fly swat, to keep the cabbage whites off the brassicas, while you are there you might as well do something useful.

I have several large bushes around the garden, so you don't need to bring your own.

No men please, I'm not into that sort of "art"

    Not at all, not at all, it's a celebration of the ten years since I moved into my house, which was built at the same time as Lowry was painting his world famous pictures.

    I think if Spencer can call 1000 naked people art, I should be able to get away with.... say three?
    I look forward to your photo applications.

    Good point, I'll only need two others now.

    Thankyou for your interest in the great new art project I am planning.

    Unfortunately I have animals in the garden and the RSPCA don't allow cruelty to poor defenceless animals. Unclothing your body would not only startle the chickens into not laying, but I also think the cat may never recover, she's getting on a bit now and it's just not fair.

    However if you have a granddaughter that is over 18 and doesn't follow the family looks, I may have space for her.

    Would it be alright to keep my vest and socks on?

    I'm not sure. Are they arty looking?

    Lace and silk I can probably put up with. Old string vests, or woollen hiking socks, won't really give out the right kind of vibe.

    But obviously it depends on the weather, I'm not the sort of man that would send you out wearing nothing if it's freezing! I'm sure I could find something [STRIKE]tarty[/STRIKE], sorry... arty, that would fit you.

    I'll tell you what. I'll take off the vest and socks on one condition: that I can wear a balaclava. It's very arty - I got it off Tracey Emin. She was wearing it at the time, but she couldn't catch me.
