Accidental exposure, downblouse, upskirt, strip search, nude outside, inside, in the shower, out of the shower, flashing, top/bottom pulled down have been done to death. Assuming you aren't doing a reality show where these situations are performed with a truly reluctant amateur, I think having an actress act out these scenarios is lazy and boring. And any amateur who agrees to be put in these situations, whether paid or not, in front of one or a thousand, in my book a willing participant. Willing participants don't make for good embarassement. Even the "amatur strip poker vid" with the drunk girl that is so heavily applauded around here features a girl that is drunk, and whining about stripping, but you know she wants to be there. She never asks to get out of it. "Oh, fooey, I lost again!" Use the "oh, shit" test. If the woman doesn't say "oh shit" when she has to take off her clothes, or "oh shit" is not written all over every inch of her face, then it's transparent she's posing and no amount of setup is going to save you. How do you accomplish "oh shit"? Put a person in a real, or real looking "oh shit" situation. You see it all over...sex crazed secretaries, nurses, teacher, boss, student, cheerleader, in outfits purchased at a third rate lingerie store acting out poorly written "fantasies" on crappy sets that are poor replicas of doctor's offices, court rooms, classrooms and restaurants. With every glimpse you are reminded you are watching a stripper and it has no realism to it. I simply do not fantasize that in my real life I walked into the doctor's office and was met by a nympho nurse in crotchless panties. However, that same nurse having to strip out of her normal work clothes to decontaminate because of a biohazard in front of coworkers might garner an "oh shit". Visit the Academy of Stripping naked story board for ideas. Students forfeiting items of clothing for wrong answers, although not plausible in real life, would achieve the same thing. Naked hostages, strip games, and gang strippings in any familiar location are easy scenarios. You could get creative with courtroom witnesses having to reveal themselves in court for whatever reason. Or use a recent "O.C." storyline where the characters were stuck atop a billboard and used theire clothes to make a rope to get down. A saleslady must meet her new client at a nude spa. A reporterette interviews the local jock who demands an item of clothing for every question answered, and she really wants the story. Part two: the lockerrooms are off limits to female reporters unless they disrobe. (It's not fair that the reproters get to gawk at the athletes). Mainstream TV and movies have teased at all of the above, using camera angles, body doubles, and my favorite (not) the bare back shot. You have an opportunity to pick up where they left off, and deliver the goods. St. Elsewhere had its doctors performing surgery in the nude because the risk of infection. LAX had Locklear decontaminated. Lady cops that must strip in full view of other cops and the media...one item of clothing for every hostage released. New restaurant policy...15 minutes for your food or your waitress strips. Jane Curtain took it off for a cause. In Fortress, a teacher and her students must strip down to swim to get away from the bad guys. A recent episode of Vegas saw a lady cop going undercover at a swinger's party and playing strip poker. The scene was over right after she removed her first item of clothing. What a great setup. But of course, no delivery!! Heck, why not regular poker? Texas hold em and if you're short on the bet you have to REALLY bet it all. How embarrassing to not be in a strip game where multiple people are in various stages of undress and you are the unlucky one who must show everything, but in a regular game where the thought of nudity hadn't even occurred until too late. The HBO series Dream On did a pretty good job of this in the episode, the name of the game is five card stud, but the actress only took off her top. However, because she had lost all her money, including the money for her honeymoon, she is pissed off and bets her shirt and bra, which must be put on the table. When she loses that hand, and the clothes, she is really embarassed, and sits covering her breasts for the remainder of the episode. Lotfw's Scenes of Stripping Database is a good source for ideas.Takes some work, planning, and can be screwed up royally with poor sets or "costumes". "Babysitting" took the effort and it paid off. On the other hand, I've seen girls, I've seen girls naked, and I've seen girls naked outside, and there's even bondage sites dedicated to girls tied up naked outside. Ho hum.
