"FEMEN"-ism in action

[crispus]

Some of you may be familiar with the Ukrainian women's group FEMEN, from osreb's posts on one of their demonstrations, or from a Free Sites video link (if you search for it, I think the term to use, because of a misspelling, is "ucrainian" or "ucraine") about their protesting the recent election there, as illustrated in the first picture here, or even from a set in the Upskirt & Downblouse forum (!); here, however, is a new cause: protesting "obscene" art in a museum. I especially liked how they posed in front of the enlarged photo, but were shot so as not to obscure our view of the bit they were presumably objecting to...

Hmm, isn't this kinda like fighting fire with fire?

Thanks

Okay, prompted by a recent effort of that indefatigable Gatling-speed poster osreb at https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/showpost.php?p=792015 , of which the first two here are bigger/higher-res versions of my faves therein, I've decided it's time to suppress my cynical knee-jerk response to protesters who could pass for porn queens, and, in deference to Klondike and others singing the praises of womanly beauty from that region, to take FEMEN seriously as legitimate naked (if only semi-, thus far) protesters. After those two, one from a commenter on their post of the toilet-protest set, then more of theirs from Kiev Metro, and even two pages of their upcoming "calendar"; given that those two months are named for Putin and Medvedev, in a clear swipe both at the two tsar-babies' hubris, redolent of the Roman imperial appropriation of July and August in the calendar of that far-off day, and at the notional independence of Ukraine from Russia, I'm not at all sure any more menses there should be expected. If there's any interest in my new obsession, I'll continue...

Oh, this is all so vintage Crispus The obscure historical references. The titanic vocabulary. The tie ins to Kings and Queens and voluminous OCC posters. I just can't get enough

Yes, I do believe (without actually having been to the Ukraine) that your everyday, garden variety Russian/Ukrainian woman is a babe, and that means that more than likely such will also be the case with a protesting one. They don't look like porn queens to me as much as they just look like your average Koktebel or Kazantip honey. I mean yes, they certainly COULD star in any adult movie while holding their own with the best of the silicon infested bunch, but they are also true, naturally born goddessess of which there seems an unending supply in those countries.

So, in otherwords, more from FEMEN would not displease me one bit...

K: Thanks indeed for indicating that my inchoate maunderings have not (or at least not yet!) utterly vitiated your pleasure in the pictures; I should probably, despite how it not only dates me but also exposes my cluelessness about the state of the genre in the 21st-century (outside, of course, of the friendly environs here at OCC), have clarified that when I described the women as resembling "porn queens," my mental referent was Sylvia Kristel, or perhaps Marilyn Chambers; when I think "silicon," to place me even further toward the Pleistocene, I think of Carol Doda, the first North Beach (SF) topless, then bottomless, dancer to go public with having indulged in that enhancement...here, then, some more from FEMEN. As we know, their public actions (as in 1) sometimes put them afoul of the law (as in 2); whether the next (3-5) are staged or not, I do not speculate; either way, thank goodness they are undeterred (6-10)...
