I hope that I am posting this in the right place. If not I am sorry.

Anyway I was in college during the 90s. It is a long story. But to try to keep it short. I ended up at nudes a popping with a small group of friends. During the event I was the only one in my group to get nude. I had a lot of strange feelings about it. I started out embarrassed and scared and ended up enjoying the attention. I wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I agreed to go.

When one of my friends started talking about the event I was certain that he was making it up. But he kept on going on about it. It finally came to the point that I said I would love to attend and walk around naked all day. I did not really mean this. That pretty much got my core group of friends committed to attending with me.

We were one of the first cars let in and found a corner spot in the back of the event area. With a little peer pressure and reassurance from one of the event staff that it was ok to be nude in the crowd I got naked. I was really hoping that the event person would have told us no but she did not.

After a short while one of my friends pulled out a camera and said that he needed to get some pictures of me. I almost died at this point. Nowhere in any of my thoughts about this did I think about photos. After some more peer pressure and making my friend promise to keep the photos private and not give copies to anyone. I let him take some pictures. It started with him just taking pictures of me. Then my friends wanted their picture taken with me. Before I knew it there was a whole line of guys with cameras taking photos and people who I did not know asking if they could have their picture taken with me. I didn't know how to say no so I let them. i pretty much though well I don't know them so it does not matter and it was fun being the center of attention.

This pretty much happened through out the day. One person would ask or sometimes not ask and then start taking pictures. This would then cause a group of people with cameras to appear and spend 5 to 10 minutes taking photos.

This was back in the 90s. Back then it was rare for me to see anyone with a camera let alone wanting to take my picture. At the end of the day my friend told me that he went through over 25 rolls of 36 exposure films. He told me about 10 rolls were dedicated to me. He told me it would be awhile before I would be able to see any as he needed to save money to get them all developed. I told him that I never really wanted to see them and that it would be great if he kept his promise to keep them private. To the best of my knowledge he never shared them. A few of my friends were upset that they never got to see them but I was happy.

After the event was through I started to think about it. My friend had over 360 photos of me. With all of the other people with cameras and how aggressive they were about taking photos there had to have been 3000 plus photos of me taken that day. If my guess was right that would be way more then the number of photos of me taken during my entire life. At that point in time I though it was kind of fun. I really could not believe how many people wanted my picture.

Over the years I have though back on it. I cannot believe how things have changed with the internet. Every now and again I do image searches looking for photos of me. I am not really sure how I will feel if I see any of me. Please understand I am not posting this in hopes that people will start to post or send me old photos asking if it is me. I will never tell anyone one way or another. I have lost track of my college friends and to be honest I have gained a lot of weight and changed my hair style since college. I do not think anyone in my current life would be able to identify me from a picture back then. But I still look back on the whole experience with a lot of mixed feelings. Most are good feelings.

I ended up at Nudes a Popping because I was fairly certain that my friend was making the whole thing up and I kind of teased him on without knowing what the event really was. That was back in a different time. If I were in college now I don't think I would have gotten nude for fear of the photo becoming a world wide favorite. I also think it would be kind of fun to go back. But again there is no way I would want to get naked today. I am also sure that the crowed would want a younger college girl anyway.

As far as me listing this as a request. A have a few questions if anyone would like to comment. I see that Nudes a Popping is still going on and that there are photos of people in the crowd. Do photographers still aggressively chase the girls in the crowd? At one point I had people all around me and security came and chased them away. Do they still do this?

Do you think anyone that is nude in the crowd got there without know too much about the event and just decided to go for it? Or are the people in the crowd current and former dancers who really are use to being nude in front of others? My experience was pretty intense. I remember it very well. I cannot believe how intense it would feel to be of college age now and attending the event knowing that all the photos and videos would be on the internet and most likely tagged back to me. Like I said above I do not think I could do it now.

If you have taken photos at nudes a Popping during the per-internet film days what did or are you going to do with the photos? What do you think will happen to old or for that matter digital photos? Do most of them just fade from existence? Again I am not asking anyone to help me find photos. I just have mixed feelings that I have never seen any of me. A few times I have thought about trying to locate my friend who took the photos. But every time I decided against it.

Anyway, hopefully this is an ok post for this forum. If not I am sorry.
