*Naked in the news*

[yellow_fever_01]

The woman was in the shower when two police officers entered her house to investigate a complaint made by her estranged husband. Wearing only a towel, she met with police. As the situation deteriorated, her daughter started recording the incident on her cellphone video camera. That is when the woman lost her towel and was arrested naked. The video was provided to a news station by her lawyer and is pixilated.

Swiss Town Launches Bizarre Naked Performance Art Festival

tival via wemakeit.com

The Body and Freedom Festival, which bills itself as the world's first ever festival for "naked performing in urban space," will take place for the first time this summer in the sleepy Swiss town of Biel.

From August 21-22, the festival seeks to attracts nude performance artists from around Europe, who will perform in the nude to consenting audiences. The weekend-long event aims to contribute to the dissolution of taboos surrounding nudity.

Organizers have launched a crowd-funding campaign to gather the remaining CHF3,000 ($3,134) required to pay for accommodations, photographers, festival booklets, and posters.

The festival's initiator, Thomas Zollinger, told 20 Minuten, “I hope for the support of many friends of nakedness."

“Today everything that can be shown and performed in galleries or theaters may also be shown and performed in urban spaces—only the naked body seems to remain a taboo," he lamented....

For CHF880 ($919) donors can buy the whole package, which includes participating in the “naked procession," taking part in the “naked lunch," and an exclusive meeting with the initiator.

The festival has not announced whether Swiss nude performance art star, Milo Moiré, will make the trip to Biel to attend the celebrations. At least she won't be arrested, like in Paris, if she performs the officially sanctioned event.

Tourists can breathe a sigh of relief: There will be no more hot models flashing their breasts on the Empire State Building’s observation deck now that an over-exposed photographer has agreed to stay away.
Lensman Allen Henson — whose backdrops for his 2013 “Boobs Around Town” photo project also included Central Park and an East Village eatery — cut the deal Thursday to avoid a $1.1 million lawsuit from the world’s most famous building....

The 31-year-old military vet brought a bevy of topless models on a tour of Manhattan courts last month to protest what he called an effort by the Empire State Building to censor his work.

According to the local news the cops have intimidated the organizers enough to call the whole thing off.

At least that is what they are saying officially.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

Not really completely naked, but, this must be embarrassing for a politician...

Anna Richardson stripped naked in front of her producer while making the Channel 4 documentary Revenge Porn.

During the TV experiment, the journalist posed for a string of pornographic snaps, which she later uploaded onto websites set up specifically for bitter exes desperate to humiliate their former partners.

I watched the program last night and found it to be informative and non-titillating. In the genre of kiss and tell reality it was one of the better ones. What it did show was that the folks running these revenge sites are completely amoral and justify themselves by putting all the blame on the uploaders. Perhaps the internet equivalent of SS Camp Guards. (My comparison).

But it also dealt with the complicity of the Picasas, Flickrs, Tumblrs for so easily allowing unauthorised Porn to be uploaded and spent a time examining the contradiction of the usefulness of the cloud and the danger of the cloud and how in any case it is all mumbo-jumbo to Joe and Jean Average-Guy.

If it is YouTubed, you should watch it.

Apologies for the diversion into reality - back to the meat beating now.

No nudity, but confident "underwear in public" and she's nice looking.

Why a semi-naked woman asked strangers to draw hearts on her body

A young woman stood in the middle of London’s Piccadilly Circus in her underwear with a blindfold.
She held pens in her hands and stood next to a sign reading: “I’m standing for anyone who has struggled with an eating disorder or self-esteem issues like me… To support self-acceptance, draw a [heart] on my body.”
By the end of the day she was covered in dozens of hearts all over her body with tourists and locals telling her she was ‘brave’ and ‘amazing.’
Jae West decided to do this after spending years struggling with an eating disorder through high school and her early twenties.
Along with social awareness group The Liberators International (who filmed the whole thing), she came up with the idea to stand in her underwear and ask strangers to accept her.
On a blog, she explained it was inspired by Amanda Palmer’s TED talk where she talked about stripping naked and allowing her fans to write on her.
