The au naturel look is catching on at city restaurants, a Midtown yoga club and even a stand-up comedy joint.

3. Yeah-- it would be a lot more comfortable for

"We want only to do things that other people do in the way that we are most comfortable doing them."

Yeah-- it would be a lot more comfortable for me to belch loudly in movie theater, or let an epic fart rip whilst at the Museum of Modern Art rather than waiting until I get home... it's all natural, right? It's just on of those things we do, right? It makes me more comfortable, right?

Sheesh. People are getting so uptight about wearing clothes these days... :evilgrin:
