I am reminded of the scene in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "The
King and I," when Anna and her young son Louis first arrive in port,
and Anna exclaims at the sign of a man on the pier who is "naked."
"Naked?" asks Louis? "Well, half-naked anyway," says Anna.
For what it's worth, the American Heritage dictionary defines "nude" as
"1. Having no clothing; naked. 2. Permitting or featuring full
exposure of the body: a nude beach," and "seminude" as "Only partially
clothed: posed seminude for a painter; seminude statues."
So, please, let us refer to this as a picture of the _seminude_ Miss
Winslet.
Indeed, given the strategic placement of Jack's sketchpad, one could
make out a case for her condition as being hemi-seminude.
