Conducting interviews in the nude can be difficult. For starters, you need a pen, notepad and dictaphone but, when you’re naked, you don’t have pockets for any of these things. It’s also hard presenting yourself as a hard-hitting professional when your interviewee has just seen your butt and can now see everything else. And on a day like today – white-hot sunshine; barely any clouds – it can be hard to concentrate. Soon enough, you are overwhelmed with a paranoia that you haven’t applied enough sunscreen to parts of your body that don’t usually see natural daylight, and are therefore – you now realise – susceptible to burning.
