Yes, of course - Spain or UK. Either one. I can't decide. The French on the other hand haven't quite gotten into this as much. I wonder why?
Local organization and local politics seem to play a big role. Its the same way in the US.
I take it then that the Queen approves....?
WNBR seems to be a model now for "franchised" naked events. By that I mean an event that clones itself in city after city with the aid of the internet. That is how "National Topless Protest Day", set to debut in August this year, is being set up. Also some other runs and bikes.
The London ride is so big - I wonder if it is big enough to have an economic impact on local businesses. If so, maybe we are witnessing the dawn of a new age - of urban renewal through "naked in the city" events. Actually, it wouldn't be the first - the Fremont parade possibly went nude as part of an effort to revitalize the Fremont district of Seattle (rumor has it......)
I really believe this is an evolving cultural phenomena. No one did this ten - fifteen years ago. And if it makes money for someone PLUS gets exposure on the internet PLUS is just plain fun - there may be NO STOPPING IT from spreading!!
So thanks again, Pedro - great posting all around and you are also helping in the "exposure on the internet" part...
