for sure! nude in purity was how we were created to be.
sin opened our eyes and there was need for covering. but that's not how God intended it. He intended for us to live unclothed in communion with Him and our fellow man.
there's nothing shameful about our bodies. there's only our hearts and what our hearts do with the information we now have upon eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

There are really 3 schools of thought:
1. Nudity is ok
2. Nudity is not ok.
3. Nudity is ok sometimes.
Now, lets see what the bible dictates, or not..
1. God created man and woman nude.
2. God sewed clothes for the man and woman only after they realized they were naked.
3. God ordered Moses' hem to be low so that his nakedness would not be exposed to the altar when he approached.
4. Naked we came into this world...and naked we shall leave it.

Zao in Hello Kitty pajamas? It may not be a nude but I would consider it to be art.
Of the rather comedic genre.
(Zao wearing Hello Kitty pajamas, sipping coffee from his Hello Kitty coffee mug...) Heh heh heh.
Of course, you all know I'm just writing this because he looks better in those pajamas than I do.

I don't know about other women, but Hello Kitty is like a symbol of a lost part of my childhood.
My parents were very conservative when I was growing up and we were on a tight budget. I used to look very longingly at all the cutesy, girlie things in the store but they always said no, out of interest for the future. I never had a Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, etc. and I never had a lot of the girlie things other little girls have--not that I'm complaining, but I still haven't lost my love of bright, colorful, cheery designs (anyone remember Lisa Frank? I loved it but was never allowed to have any of her things.)
I was secretly very jealous of a girl in my class who had ALL the latest and greatest knick knacks--pencil boxes, lip glosses, paper clips, colored writing instruments... and I had my plain yellow #2 Meads.
When I grew up, worked my own jobs, and had my own money... I decided to splurge on some of the things I couldn't have as a child. I like to write letters, so my Hello Kitty merchandise of choice is NOT clothing or accessories, but stationery, stickers, and rubber stamps. My friends know I'm a big kid at heart so they see it as an extension of my personality.
To me, Hello Kitty is a symbol of my adult independence... And my ability to be able to afford the things my family couldn't when I was growing up. Within reason, of course. The most I'll shell out is maybe a whopping $10 for a stationery set. And I have a small shelf of H.K. things my little niece has gotten for me over the years. I also made covers for my sewing machines in colorful Hello Kitty fabric, just as my own act of adult defiance--the fact that now I get to have my own say in what I can and can't have.
Yes, I know I'm an odd duck and most won't understand this, but to me, Hello Kitty is almost a symbol of childhood rebellion.
Sorry for the derailment, just had to add my own contribution.
