New Life
My wife Sarah and I have started a new life. We had always longed to get away from the rush and tear of the city life. Also we wanted to leave all the trouble we had caused each other in earlier days of our marriage.
We had found our dream place far away from the city. Just a few miles outside a small town we were lucky to obtain some acres of land just in front of a small lake.
With help of an architect we had got our dream house. We moved into the house almost a year ago. At first it felt curious. Being used to have many friends coming and going we were now mostly left quite to ourselves. It led to the advantage of coming closer each other than ever before. Our respective affairs were forgiven and put aside.
Thus our confidence in each other has grown. We have a great sex life. The secluded life at our house surrounded by the lake and the woods had made it possible to live without clothes like nudists. It's a tremendous feeling. The few guests visited us up to now doesn't believed it.
Early this summer Sarah's elder sister Rocy had returned home from Australia. We hadn't seen her since our wedding day some years ago. Now she would be our guest for the summer months.
Art Exhibition
She had made her famous as a photography artist with exhibitions in different countries around the world. During this summer her works of art are on display at a local gallery at our small town. As her art often portrayed nude people she was most controversial in many of the countries, not at least in this 'enlightened' country.
Sarah and I were invited to the exhibition inauguration. There were much people, experts as well as ordinary ones as myself. The press was there in great numbers, teams from different TV companies and writers lining up outside.
Sarah and I kept a low profile, laymen as we are. I must say that the pictures were selected with great attention. There were no studies of pornographic character, though you would find some depicting the act of sexual intercourse.
Suddenly I stopped in front of a photo somewhat larger than the rest of the works. It was illuminated by a spotlight behind me. It was no doubt who I thought! The depicted nude girl was Sarah! Oh, what a beautiful picture!
"Hay, have you seen that one?" I asked Sarah. She blushed.
"Oh, god heavens!" she whispered and tried to pull me away from the work of art. But it was too late. A TV reporter had observed the similarity between my wife in person and the nude girl on the wall. He got hold of Sarah and asked her for an interview.
Sarah was doubtful. Rocy had noticed her sister's dilemma and came to her assistance. "It's my younger sister," she explained to the reporter. "The basic picture was taken many years ago when she was 18 years old. It had been processed to get a more artistic appearance. But indeed, still she is recognizable." Rocy informed smoothly, looking too pleased to be as sweet as she appeared.
The reporter was enthusiastic. "Oh boy, the picture is wonderful with all the light and shade emphasizing the young woman's innocence," he said and looked at Sarah. "Your appearance hadn't changed much as far as I can see," he established with a smile. "It would be very interesting to the public to have more details on how you worked out the picture," he mentioned to Rocy.
He returned after a while and said that he had spoken to a producer of a future TV series named 'Creation: a Work of Art'. The producer had become very enthusiastic about the idea to include a story of how an art photo was worked out. If Rocy found it acceptable he would arrange a recording in a TV studio. If so, Rocy as well as Sarah had to participate. And as the production was to be made in front of a small audience I was welcome too.
Rocy found it good to get as much publicity as possible. If Sarah and I had no objections she would accept the offer. "I had discussed the arrangement with the producer," Rocy told us. "He wants me to take some pictures of Sarah being nude. Then I had to show how they could be treated to obtain good art."
"It means," I said, "that Sarah had to show up naked in front of the audience? And later on be shown for millions of TV viewers?"
"Yes, of course! Did it make you uncomfortable?" Rocy doesn't understand why we were so shy.
"What do you think of that?" I asked my wife, ignoring Rocy's innocent head cock and furrowed brows.
"I really don't know. But sure I have to get something to calm down my nerves before I strip," Sarah explained with due consideration.
It was decided that Sarah would participate as it would give her sister a tremendous good publicity.
At the TV Studio
On the day for the television recording we arrived at the TV studio well before the rest of the public. A script girl took care of Rocy and Sarah for having them prepped with make-up. The producer, John, showed me around the studio. There was some type of a scene built up in front of two rows of chairs for the audience.
"You are to use that one!" he told me. The chair he pointed at was in the middle of the front row. "From that point you have an undisturbed view of what's going on in front of the TV cameras," he explained. For the moment there were some cameramen and engineers being busy arranging the light and sound installations.
John and I sat down in front of the scene. "I had arranged with another nude model to take part in the second part of the program," he informed me. "I think it will cheer up the audience having a guy accompanying your wife on the scene!"
I was chocked when I understood that a nude stranger has to put his hands on Sarah. "Does my wife know?" I asked
