Posing Nude Gives Model Self Confidence

She is a student, an actress and a barista. She is 22 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, has blue eyes and shoulder-length hair.
And she doesn't mind being nude in front of people.

Meredith Wachter, a senior theater performance major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was looking for employment in the fall, flipping through the newspaper.
"Hey, you could be an art model!" her roommate said. She laughed and rolled her eyes.
Now, she has been modeling for a life drawing class at UNL for two semesters - about 10 times total.

"It was pretty nerve-rackingthe first time I went," Wachter said. "I'm a free person, pretty liberal, but I'm not about to run around naked."
While modeling, she pretended as if she were just a head, "a little face" - and nothing else. She still barely ever looks down when posing.
"It was really surreal," she said. "I couldn't believe I was standing in the middle of the room naked and everybody was just drawing."
"She made sure I was completely comfortable," Wachter said. "Things like putting on music that I liked or even putting a space heater next to you so that you don't get cold."
"Students (enrolled in the class) might be uncomfortable at first," said Michael Burton, the life drawing instructor this semester. "People get adjusted and get very objective toward the model."
