Hi,

First pics were taken in "La Puerta del Sol", in Madrid, later pics in the street "Preciados" (that runs from Puerta del Sol to Callao).

Sentences written in bodies are in slang, using "k" instead of "c" and "tx" instead of "ch", they say "No me vais a callar", "la lucha sigue", "la alarma vive", "lucha y resiste", "les jode la alegria de vivir", "ocupa", "la alarma", "no mas desalojos", and other anaschy-style sentences. Babel fish should translate most of these :-)

Thank you for the pics!!!

Seeing the symbols they painted, i guess they are extreme-left, anarchist protesters. I rather like these form of protest instead of those anarchists who broke down down-towns,city's when there is a G20, G8, WTO or other international meeting.
May be Pedro knows the background of these protesters.
;)

great pics!!thanks a lot

No, we are way to laid back (or backward) down here in the south to get involved with protests like that, sorry!

WNBR 2010
 

Since I only found two good pics, I am posting them here instead of making a new thread. These are from the World Naked Bike Ride in Adelaide, Australia. They were just uploaded to Flickr within the past 10 days so I don't think they are here yet.

Man, what is it about Spain and making their protests as bloody and naked as possible? :confused:

Naked protesters
 

Naked protesters block 8th Avenue in midtown Manhattan outside Madison Square Garden, site of the Republican National Convention, August 26, 2004. As to the girl on the left, what's the point of a naked protest if you're going to wear a bathing suit?

high resolution ?
 

Go a high res of the last group butt pic ??

Ukranian protest
 

Only 4 pics; will look for more.

As one might surmise, it's those FEMEN-ists again, this time protesting Medvedev/Putin interference in Ukraine (the red stripes signifying clawtracks of the Russian bear). Here are 2 more at a better size; for these, osreb's at this size, and a few duplicative/NN, check flickr user /femen/ 's most recent uploads

Code Pink protests BP headquarters

More.

I wonder if the protests would be as loud, if the oil company was Texaco or something similar. The mess would be the same, the rig was a contact outfit. Never mind, as long as the world needs oil, this will happen.:(:(

I love oil. It really is the best and most sustainable energy source.

Feminist action in Granada, Spain

Codepink would be anti-Bush family too. The Bush family started all this drilling in the gulf 50 years ago. It appears there may have been an old score to settle with BP, who would have been a competitor in the area.

But codepink would protest regardless. From their perspective, the oil companies are all the same.

Klondike

I did not know about the Bush family connection, thanks for that.

I worked for one of the companies that made the 'faulty' blow off valve (but not in that department, I must to add), so have been following developments there. Mistakes were made, at many levels, but it always seems BP are the baddies! The whole oil game is the same, BP were just unlucky (probably) to be the guy without a chair when the music stopped.

The USA would have had to adapt to a very different lifestyle without Gulf oil (as with the UK/Norway in the North Sea), so I am afraid it is a risk that goes with gain. I wonder what the past President (s) would have done????

Anyhow, on with nudity, the only oil I smell now is....sun tan oil!!!:D:D

Pedro, I dug up some interesting trivia related to naked protests in general the other day. It seems we have "Breasts for Bombs" to thank for for the WNBR. Back in the early 2000's, Breast for Bombs gave rise to a protest organization up in Vancouver, BC that started hosting naked bike rides about ten years ago. It was those rides that were the inspiration for Conrad Schmidt when he dreamed up the idea for the WNBR back in 2003-2004.

And now we have most recently (pics in my public nudity events list thread) a naked run to protest Global Warming in South Africa. Attended by 80 people, this was a significant event. I think the idea of combining nudity and protest is catching on....

Klondike

If only:mad:, we have the right wing local council in Brighton trying to get the police to stop the nudity at next month's WNBR! Bloody bastards!

The police say that they have had no real complaints in past years and the ride has the right to protest. Strange world where the police support the protest against a handfull of 'busy bodies' with (in this case) some dodgy deals too.

We will have to keep an eye on the situation, it is up to the head of the local police to give his blessing to full nudity or not, in the past few years three have and one (a christian:rolleyes:) has not. With over 1000 riders coming, it may be more than they can cope with! When they banned full nudity last time (2006), they had 120 riders, and that was a handful.

FEMEN (Ukraine) seems to be a very active, up and coming organization. They have their own FLickr page as well as pages on many other major sites, so clearly they want publicity. The women are also uncommonly beautiful. HEre are some pics from their latest protest, and note the one pic with the cop personally raising the shirt of one of the women.

One of the sites they have a presence on is called http://vkontakte.ru. Anyone know anything about this site? Is it a major Russian or Ukrainian photo hosting or social networking site?

Klondike

http://vkontakte.ru - major Russian social networking site like facebook

yes - it certainly seems to be a group that wants to get a little more 'exposure' for its models. they probably pay a fee to appear naked.....lol

anyone know if there are naked pics to be found?

Klondike

No. Site is moderate!

great find the last set with the voyeuristic officer:D

Don't know about FEMEN's pages, but if vkontakte as a whole doesn't have nudes, how to explain https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/showthread.php?t=89707 ? On the subject of "naked" protest, another PETA shower, in Seattle yesterday; any better idea of what, if anything (other than those shoes, I mean!), they were actually wearing?

I've seen past videos where the camera gets a bit too close and you see that they are wearing strapless bikini tops, probably bikini bottoms too. I also remember reading an article a while back and it was reported in one case the girls wore pasties and bikini bottoms. I doubt they would actually go naked, most likely in fear of some crazed on looker destroying the shower booth.

Slick

Well, thanks to a blogger I found, as well as these shots, I can answer, and halfway confirm it, my own question: pasties and bikini bottoms...that pretty much squelches the buzz for me, especially given that the event took place in Seattle, not a spot known to shy away from public nudity, but in the interests of fuller documentation, and since I suspect some here will still enjoy them, herewith another set, including some from better angles than the previous post. And at least it was skimpier than strapless bikini tops...

At least somebody was finally daring enough to take some overhead shots...

Thanks
