SL(U)TWALK

Klondike · #1 06-28-2012, 02:39 PM

Sl(u)twalk is a new event and about the only one I know of that the OCC censors won't allow you to print the name of. This event began in Toronto only just last year, but already it is spreading fast with pics becoming quite numerous. As the auto OCC censor well knows, sl*t is an inflammatory, derogatory word, and apparently it was the use of that word by a Toronto police officer last year that inspired the creation of the event. Women march to protest r(a)pe and sexual violence in general. I guess it has struck a chord around the world which is why so many sl*twalks have already been franchised.

Anyway, I'm not the first one to post on this topic. For example, C_Dick posted some pics he took at last years event. Go here:

This is a really fine thread and I don't mean to usurp it except that it specifically refers to Toronto in the title, and like WNBR, etc - it is has already been franchised (as evidenced by follow up posts) in NYC, Berlin, etc. I'd rather these all go under one roof, and being a relatively new thread and event, I can simply shovel the best pics from that thread over here to hopefully make this the "go to" thread as time goes on. In the meantime, I'll add some more pics from 2012.

ONe of Flickr's best Toronto area photographers, Eric Parker, has a really nice gallery up from 2012 Toronto. Go here:

Below are some of his pics. Eric has always had an eye for feminists marching as you will note - his photostream is extensive.

more to follow.

noteworthy to me is the appearance of full nudity at last years Toronto sl*twalk. Apparently, full nudity this year was not captured, at least not by Eric Parker at Flickr. Here are the fully naked pics..

After seeing these in C_Dick's thread last year, I half joked that this looked more like Folsom street fair than a protest march. But it is a protest, and one that is more naked (at least last years) than a typical gay or Dyke march.

more pics taken by C_Dick at last years Toronto sl*twalk.

This is Toni Johnson, owner of a local sex club and a woman who I gather is frequently seen nude in public. C_Dick remarked in his thread that "The reporters that cover the events seem to gravitate towards her for some reason."

I think I can see why

but was she there this year also? I have not seen any evidence...

digressing for a moment, here is more on Toni Johnson. Her sex club is called "Oasis Aqualounge". Apparenly, Toni will use any excuse to get naked in public to promote her club. She and others have appeared naked in front of her club, at the local pride parade, etc and now at sl*twalk also. Here are some pics -

ONe correction - the naked girl wearing the bridal veil I posted earlier was photographed at sl*twalk Berlin, not Toronto, last year..

I'm impressed with the scope and spread of this event. I really was not prepared, for example, to find any pics from any sl*twalk in Portland, OR where i live. But apparently, 1000 people gathered last Aug for the Portland version, and nudity was present. Where was I? Totally oblivious...

In a nutshell, what I'm seeing here is a lot of potential for new parade nudity around the world, possibly as much or even more than in a typical Pride/Dyke March weekend. thats saying something...but figure that the nature of the protest is more explicitly sexual than an LBGT event, and those participating might be more comfortable or inclined to be naked in public.

google any major city in the US and likely it has some sort of presence on the web when it comes to sl*twalk. And maybe some pics too. These below are from Seattle and Denver..

It usually seems to take a year or two for new events to go global - someone must have done an awful lot of work helping this event to spread as fast as it has..

I'm definitely going to think about attending this years Portland event. I expect it might be fun..
