Nude Blogging
Shell of Shellshocking is nude blogging to protest the war, and suggests a worldwide political movement to counter (or supplement?) the Naked Peace spelling bee. I’m
in! I will need to hang a curtain in my front window though; right now the street has a clear view of me sitting at my computer! Maybe I should just have a blind that says “Nude Blogging for Peace” on the outside facing the street! I'll also see if I can get a friend to take a photo to post like Shell has on
her site. Who is with us? Nude Blogging for peace...what a hoot!
Don’t they have an extra coat?
During a recent nude peace rally in Santiago, the demonstrators decided to leave the park where the rally was staged and march to the presidential palace. Police arrested about a dozen nude demonstrators claiming that the rally had only been authorized in the park. (more...)
I really feel sorry for this woman. From her face it is obvious that it is not her fantasy to be roughly handled by five policedykes, although I know some women who would give anything for this opportunity! And what's up with those hats?
Thanks Shell
for pointing me to this
