It’s been five years friends. Five years of Museworthy. I’m actually at a loss for words, which as most of you know is quite rare for me! I could repeat what I’ve said every year on these birthday posts; that I never expected this blog to have such longevity, or that it would accumulate over 150 subscribers, and receive 1,000 visitors a day from all around the globe. Or that I’d have enough topics to discuss, artwork and anecdotes to share, and spirited, illuminating discussions in the comments. All these things amaze me still, after five splendid years.
I was thinking about last year’s post and the concerns I raised about continuing to model on a full time basis. But after a fantastic, very busy year of work – and by some miracle NOT having fallen apart physically which was my fear – I look back and wonder, what the hell was I thinking? Of course I will continue art modeling! And blogging. You guys can’t get rid of me just yet 
So Fred Hatt and I collaborated again in his studio and have decided on an image to share for Museworthy’s fifth. A rose-tinted photograph to match my rose-colored glasses perhaps? No. Rose-colored glasses imply unrealistic optimism. I think my optimism level is perfectly real and true and delusion-free. I am a thankful, fortunate gal.
Our music this year comes courtesy of the Beatles. Not one of their more famous songs, but a good one, recorded on the very brink of their breakup. Listen with me to “I’ve Got a Feeling”. John Lennon comes in at 2:05 and sounds adorable. Peace, love, and infinite gratitude to all of you in the Museworthy world . Thanks for reading, supporting, and sustaining this artistic little corner of the Internet.
Your muse,
Claudia xxoo
Yes, I recall your concerns of a year ago and it’s a relief that they haven’t, as yet at least, come true! You’ve obviously had another very busy year and survived it well. Happy 5th Museworthy birthday and here’s to the next one! (Enjoyed the song too – not one I’ve heard before.)

And the photo’s lovely too!
And what better to celebrate? A nude photo of you and the Beatles. The best of everything. Happy birthday Museworthy!
Happy birthday Museworthy! And congratulations on another year of your marvelous blog, Claudia! I’m so happy you’re modeling and writing, and I love the picture you and Fred came up with. Here’s to many more happy years of creativity.
Happy Birthday Claudia and Museworthy! A truly interesting and creative blog site.
Happy 5th — and the blog still rocks!
A beautiful photo by Fred and but a more beautiful model.
you did a great job creating a beautiful model and it shows on this photo. Happy Museworthy and a pleasure
Happy 5th. I enjoy reading your comments. My 6th anniversary as an art model is the first week in October. For me it is a part time job, sort of a hobby.
Happy 5th Birthday! And what better way to celebrate it than with a photo of you in your beautiful birthday suit. I modeled for a session on the 4th of September, which just happened to have been my birthday, and I got a lot of joy out of telling people that I was working in my birthday suit on my birthday.
G’day mate
happy 5th anniversary to your site and its enjoyable to read
and I can relate to this.

Your writing is a treat. Glad you make the effort…..which, btw, you disguise so well with your smooth language and delivery. When you set the dates for the “Museworthy Tour” I really hope you’ll have a New England venue. Congrats!!
Happy Blog-Birthday, Claudia! Your growing audience is a well deserved. Museworthy is a first-class blog with interesting topics and an engaging personality.
With admiration,

I just re-read my post above. “A nude photo of you and the Beatles.” I hope Ringo wasn’t too embarrassed. Gotta stop posting before I have coffee.
Ringo blushes when his modifier is dangling.
Thank you thank you thank you all for these wonderful comments! I love and appreciate every one of them. Your readership, feedback, and participation in Museworthy means so very much to me.
Year six has begun!
Claudia
Five years… that’s dedication.
I tried blogging but got bored with myself after five days.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more here and Twitter. Thanks for inviting us into your life.
