Planet Terror actress and former Robert Rodriguez girlfriend Rose McGowan recently shot this video where she dances around her apartment fully naked and I for one think it was incredibly beautiful and artistic and that more actresses should be brave enough to defy our Puritan values and celebrate their femininity this way.
From Nowness:
Rose McGowan moves intuitively around her LA home in this tender portrait by Marlene Marino, shot earlier this year when the photographer captured the American actress for the latest issue of lifestyle title Apartamento. The Brian De Palma and Quentin Tarantino favorite made her name in tongue-in-cheek slasher Scream and supernatural series Charmed, and established her cult status in director Gregg Araki’s 1995 comedy thriller The Doom Generation, which saw the pin-up entangled in a sordid ménage à trois. Yet shooting today’s short was a strict case of ‘Two’s company.’ Having met through director Ridley Scott’s Black Dog Films—set to release McGowan’s directorial debut Dawn—the actress and Marino bonded over a shared attitude towards beauty. “Marlene and I were just celebrating femininity,” she says of the visceral short that is soundtracked by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi, who previously scored Shane Meadows’ This Is England. “I think people can rise higher than the consensus of what is considered sexy; our only objective was to do something natural. I didn’t act, I just flowed into it.”
Last time I moved intuitively around my apartment, I knocked over a vase with the wind from my hip thrusting and the neighbors complained about the open blinds. One of these days I’m going to move to Europe, where people understand art.

What’s your experience of pornography?
RM: I have never liked it and don’t find it sexually interesting: I don’t like their hair, makeup, or acting. How am I supposed to get excited by something that I think is cornball and not beautiful?
So what would you consider to be sexy?
RM: Oh I don’t know, maybe two people in a lovely field on a farm, shot like Terence Malick.
Ah yes, I can just imagine the money shot slowly hitting a stalk of gently-swaying wheat. It makes me cry mascara-drenched tears of joy into my sheer nightgown just thinking about it.
Enjoy this now before the inevitable shot-for-shot Seth Rogen remake.
