1. Intro
For most people, the experience of buying a product from a store is quite different from the experience of buying a product from a friend or colleague.
The former is organized, focused and somewhat limited to the knowledge of the seller. The latter is more akin to a social gathering and it includes all kinds of informations, including about other products and services available in the store, about discounts, etc.
The first part of this paragraph describes why this is so. The second part explains how you can make your course or app more appealing to those who are not familiar with it (the language barrier). For example, when you explain what “the naked nyx” is, you do so in an easier way than when you tell them that it’s a tool for “making your photos look better” or that it “… allows you to create Instagram-like post-it notes on your photos or videos.”
2. The etymology of the term
“The Nudes Nyx” is a now-famous Twitter hashtag that originated in 2014. It has since been used by several companies to introduce products and services to the public, including Apple, Uber, and Slack.
The introduction of the hashtag came about because of the work of Mike Maples (the original ‘nude nyc’), who took a vacation in Europe and used his Instagram account to document his travels.
He sent his selfie to his friends over Twitter, asking for feedback — with “eyeballs” being a common response. Once he had amassed some followers, he started posting snaps from different locations around Europe, forming a place-specific hashtag. Eventually people were posting entire images of their bodies in various states. The next step was to add more variations on the theme (e.g., this guy is naked in public) and the fun started!
While there are many examples of businesses using #NudesNyx on Twitter (and they are often meaningless) it was not until a number of accounts decided to use it as their own brand identity that it became truly memorable:
1) ‘The Nudes Nye’ (a shoe company): https://twitter.com/nudenyc/status/540527255722371304 2) ‘Bike Naked’ (a bike manufacturer): https://twitter.com/bikenaked/status/540553929040788001 3) ‘The Nude’s Nyc’ (a restaurant with an excellent breakfast buffet): https://twitter.com/nudensnyc 4) ‘Nude Girl’ (a lingerie company): https://twitter.com/nudegirl 5) ‘Panties At The Beach’ (an international marketing firm): https://twitter.com/pantiesatthebeach 6) ‘Karaoke Naked,’ by Lauren Adams (@LaurenAdams): http://www.laurenadamsinteractiveagency.com/karaoke-naked-karaoke-video 7 ) ‘Kiss Cam Naked,’ by Lauren Adams (@LaurenAdams): http://www.laurenadamsinteractiveagency.com/kiss-cam-naked 8 ) ‘Kiss Cam Nude,’ by Lauren Adams (@LaurenAdams): http://www.laurenadamsinteractiveagency.com 9 ) @treybennett_: “Dressed
3. The history of nudity in art
There have been many nude paintings of famous people, and they have been displayed in museums all over the world. While they are not technically pornography, some people would argue that they are pornographic art.
This is a very complex topic. There are two main schools of thought on this:
1. The “artists” view—the artists who created these works were making a statement about the idea that there should be no sexual attractiveness in a human being (this is often called “the ban” or “the taboo”). They believed that the viewer should not be able to judge the morality of a painting based on whether or not it showed naked bodies—they should be able to only understand it as an abstract, philosophical or political comment.
2. The “marketing” view—these artists were creating art because they wanted to sell their paintings, and ultimately made millions of dollars from it by selling their works to galleries and wealthy collectors around the world. Many of them did not consider their work as art at all, but as marketing devices for potential buyers who could afford their paintings. They believe that there should be appeal to the buyer’s emotions instead of his/her reason: beauty is subjective, and we shouldn’t feel bad when we look at something beautiful. It seems like this split has existed for centuries: some people say the nudes nyx are artless while others say they’re artistic (and thus guilty of being commercial). This post tries to tackle this issue head on with references from both sides and discusses why some argue for one thing but other argue against. In particular I discuss how you can make a powerful point without being accused by your opponents of selling your art (and also how saying you’re doing neither can lead you down both roads).

4. The nude in the 20th century
The nude in the 20th Century
The nude in the 20th century was a very important development: it defined what women could and could not do naked in public. It was a major social change that had far-reaching effects on how we viewed women, how we discussed them, and how we treated them. The nude in the 20th century began with a series of publications that brought nudity to the forefront of public discourse. As Europeans first began to open their minds to the idea of women as sexual beings, they began to consider themselves as equal partners in their own sexuality and bodies.
In 1839, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch published his book on sexual bondage (Sacher Masoch), which relied on sadomasochism to explain his concept of sex as a form of punishment for “outrageous” emotions such as passion and lust. In many respects, Sacher’s work influenced nineteenth-century European culture. He also found an audience among German-speaking intellectuals who were already familiar with literary classics such as Sterne’s Tristram Shandy and Goethe’s Faust.
Sacher wrote about his experiences with sadomasochism in several other works including The Story of an Erotic Slave (1887) and The Erotic Slave (1888). In both books he openly discussed his experiences using sadomasochistic techniques such as whipping on two leather straps while living under fear of discovery or death by flogging whipped slaves almost daily until exhaustion forced him to stop.
The next significant publication came from France, where the Society for Promoting Emancipation (SPE) started publishing its popular magazine L’Egalité des Hommes et des Femmes (The Equality of Men and Women) in 1879.[3] Its motto was “equality before law, equality before God”.[4] It was also this magazine that first introduced the concept of pornography — an actual publication — which became increasingly popular among French people.[5] The society soon established its own publishing house known under its initials SPEQUE: Le Progrès Érotique Quantique.[6] In April 1886, Le Progrès Érotique Quantique published Nude Girls by Pauline Viardot-Garcia.[7] This article introduced French readers to Viardot-Garcia’s daughter Marie Louise; her paintings became famous for their erotic depiction
5. Contemporary nudes
One of the most powerful ways to create a high-quality product is to make high-quality art. It’s hard to understand why this is so, but you have to believe it is.
I have always been a fan of Juergen Teller’s work and have watched him evolve over time. He recently released his last video (titled “The Nude Nuyx”) which has had quite a bit of buzz around it. His goal in making it was to explore the idea that there are less nude nudes out there than we might think.
While I am sure he was working on something more profound, offering a thought provoking question about the nature of beauty, this one video has received a lot of attention as people try to think about how their own lives can be more interesting and beautiful — and how they can be happier too. This became part of my larger project around “nudes nyx”: -art that makes us feel good -the art that makes us happy -the art that keeps us happy
This is what makes me feel good: when I look at these nudes, I know I will never look like them – which means my life is better than theirs The point here is not so much originality or creativity (though these things are important) but rather the fact that these nudes are great works of art and they should be seen (and enjoyed!). And if you know anything about me, I love sharing something with other people!
So this blog post will likely continue for some time…
6. Conclusion
In this post, we’ve looked at the pros and cons of a full product launch. While there is no doubt that launching a product is a daunting task, there is also no doubt that it can be done. We’ve seen some of the many different methods people use to do it: publication (which does not always deliver the best results), in-store demonstrations (which sometimes works well but often has a negative ROI), advertising on social media, and more.
We have also seen how these different approaches can differ greatly from one another. Some products have been launched successfully with very little PR or marketing; others have been launched using many forms of community marketing and press coverage (if at all). Now, let’s take a look at what happens when you try to launch a product without any of this marketing input or support — without any direct evidence that your product will succeed or potentially even be popular among users:
But if you are going to launch anywhere, it might as well be here…
