As you know, last week marked the final official week for HNT. Osbasso requested that we pull out all the stops and make our final HNT posts memorable. We found ourselves on a clothing-optional beach on Christmas Eve, appropriately one of the most fun experiences we've ever had taking an HNT picture.
We enjoyed participating on and off for the last couple years, and while we had planned to continue posting something every Thursday, it did seem a little odd to give the long-running meme a send-off full of fanfare and fireworks only to resume business as usual the following Thursday, i.e. today. We suppose it's not unlike graduating from high school and then returning to your alma mater the following September to roam the halls.
[Note to the many bloggers who have published an HNT post today: This is in no way a dig at you. We love looking at all of your efforts, and will do so as long as you continue to post them. In fact, if you've posted an HNT that we should see, please let us know; without the usual conglomeration of "We're up!" comments at Osbasso's blog, I'm afraid many such posts will go unnoticed by us.]
Additionally, Osbasso stated on his blog that he hoped that future half-nekkidness would utilize a different name, out of respect for the retirement of HNT, as well as for the "hundreds upon hundreds who participated." We can understand this, though more in accordance with the official retirement we felt that it was time for a change. And who knows? In a month's time, desiring the sense of community that we got from HNT, we may resume. But for now we are trying something different.
Several individuals, including Nolens Volens and HeartPinkGirl, have created The Naughty Hangout. (See what they did? TNH...it's HNT backwards.)
The inaugural theme for The Naughty Hangout is "De-Xmas'ing", described on the TNH blog as "the process of taking down your decorations and putting them away for the year." This is what that process looks like at our house:
Seen in this shot are the negligee and Santa hat worn by Jill in Santa's Sexy Helper Part 2, a candy cane identical to the one featured in A Christmas Meme, and a Santa Claus ornament shown in one of our Moby uploads. No Jill, though. I think that's a first.

We contemplated a name change as well, and decided to call ours "Our HNT" to indicate that we're still playing, still honoring what HNT was and what HNT meant, but now it's OURS.
Yours is nice. I like the idea of not having anyone in the picture, but rather displaying the props we all recognize. Nice work!
Interesting with the reversal of the HNT to TNH. Removing the Christmas decorations takes a small army at our house, I think I'd prefer yours!
festive!
htnh ;)
i'm up over at mine's
hope you crazy cats play frequently :)
That was awesome! You outdid me with the negligee bit. *Heart swells with pride*
Glad you liked what we did and we hope to see more of your creative pics.
Thanks for the shout out.
The thing about this fabulous shot is that it allows me to imagine, to go back to your photographs in my mind as well as fill in that gorgeous negligee with Jill's beautiful and sensuous curves...
I love this! Nice visual of naughtiness. Now can you take mine down?
Our stuff STILL isn't put away. I guess Mia is waiting for me to be done with the busy time at work.
