Nakedness

Nakedness sounds so spikey and functional, not like vulnerable which kind of caves in on the tongue and crumbles most satisfactorily at the end. And nude just sounds bold and blunt and arrogant. So what then shall I use to describe my current state? Well, bloody freezing, given that I'm in Christchurch and it's about 4 degrees outside.

It is a problem though, I can never find a nice-sounding synonym for naked. I found 23 entries for naked in thesaurus.com and I still can't find a term I like. Suggestions?

Now a recipie for a nakedness smoothie is another matter altogether. It seems to me that the following usually does the trick:

Ingredients:
1 shot Kahlua (or a generic coffee liqueur, but they're never as good)
1 shot Cherry vodka (normal vodka is fine, you know you'll never use all that cherry stuff anyway)
2 shots chilled Espresso
Chocolate Milk (use one of those little moro milk boxes for something really indulgent)

Instructions:
Stir. Add your choice of drinking game if desired and mix well. Stand back.

If that smoothie doesn't cause nakedness, I'm fresh out of ideas.
