Art or pornography

  CNN has a story a photographer that took some nude photos in public places.  An arrest took place and it is going to court.
  Interesting video.  It would be more interesting if they could show you the photos without the censorship so you could decide if it is art or porn.
  My feeling is that it is art.  I do not think they were attempting to give any one an boner. 
  I think that is sort of what it cums (smile) down to … are you trying to have sexual response from someone.
  I do not think trying to shock someone is the same thing.

Naked New Yorkers

  I never had a desire to visit New York but this might change my mind.  It looks like a fun place.  Smile

  I think the best stunts were getting nude in public and having a photo taken.  They try and do it when no one will see them and then they got a prize they can show.  Plus they can sort of say they own the place.
  Getting nude on a subway or bus might scare some people and I would worry about that.  
  We got people running around with weapons to express their right to bear arms.  We need people to start getting nude to express their right to be free. 

Verdi’s A Masked Ball

  I think this is going to piss off a lot of people.  A German opera house is to stage Verdi’s A Masked Ball on 9/11 in the ruins of the New York’s World Trade Center.  Naked pensioners with Mickey Mouse masks, Hitler salutes and Elivs impersonators.  How many groups have been pissed off so far?

Now men can control pants

  I was surfing the Internet and I found  the Daily Mail (UK) site.  I found the following…
  “…As of next month, department store Selfridges will stock Britain's first range of control pants for men which promise to do what Spanx have done for women's flabby thighs.

With the help of 'compression technology' the £35-£37 Equmen briefs aim to improve posture, smooth and lift in all the right places, as well as offering support 'down under'…”

    I guess this is something new.  They say that Calvin Klein officers a line of “Body Boost” briefs.  I think it is to late for me.  I needed these shorts 40 years ago.  Smile

Nude painting

  I was talking to my ex-wife on the telephone.  She said she was going to start doing oil paintings again.  She is very good and she does them very fast. 
  That got me to remembering a long long time ago when we were married she was doing a lot of art work and oil paintings and I told her do a nude of me.  She did a fully nude painting of me.
  We had her art work on the walls of our house and we hung (no pun ment) that one on the wall.  Soon as we got it hung on the wall a group came to the door and it was the local church group paying us a visit so I ran to the other room and took the painting down.  We put it in the closet.
  
  I forget how long it was..but time when by and she said she wanted to paint some but she was out of canvas.  She said she just felt like painting and could pain on an old painting.  I looked and then I found the old painting of me.  I got it out for her and she said what should I do with it.  I said make my penis just a little bigger…not much..just a little bigger…
  So she made a minor adjustment to that part of my body…
  Hay, I liked it.. So I put it back on the wall and made a little prayer that the church group would not visit us again.
  Well her mother came over just about every day and her mother came over and saw the painting and made some comment about the size of my penis being bigger than real life! How did you know?
  Then one day my mother came over and she saw the painting and laughed and commented about the size of my penis!  I think the last time she saw me nude was when she giving me baths when I was little.
 

Nude Beach for Key West?

  Miami has a nude beach, Haulover Beach, and people come from around the world to visit the beach.  Will Key West get a nude beach?

KEY WEST -- The come-as-you-are island city of Key West features a nude rooftop bar, guest houses with clothing-optional pools and the 10-day, world-famous debauchery known as Fantasy Fest, where body paint passes as clothing.

On the island's public beaches, though, going au naturel has been illegal since 1983.

That might change soon. A group of naturists is campaigning to amend the city's nudity ordinance to allow a section of city-owned beach to go nude. City Commissioner Bill Verge plans to propose at this week's city commission meeting an Oct. 6 referendum. Advocates say the change could bring more tourists to the cash-strapped city.

Monroe County Commissioner Sylvia Murphy liked the idea when it surfaced in April. ''No one visiting us [from other countries] understands why we are such prudes,'' she said.

But the city, which has ultimate jurisdiction, has been pretty straight-laced when it comes to nude beaches, despite its free-spirited image.

Key West outlawed public nudity 26 years ago after Pier House, a Key West hotel, instituted a clothing-optional beach for its guests…”   Miami Herald

Walter Cronkite dead at age 92

“Walter Cronkite, the CBS anchorman known as both "Uncle Walter" for his easygoing, measured delivery and "the most trusted man in America" for his rectitude and gravitas, has died. Cronkite was 92 years old. At the height of his influence, Cronkite's judgment was believed to be so important it could affect even presidents.developing story …”  CNN

    Sad day but 92 years of age is a long life.  I am one of the Americans that was watching Walter Cronkite live when he give the news that JFK was dead.  That is a moment in time that I will never forget. 

 

  I was 22 years old at the time.  That day I had been listening to WRUL radio, “Radio New York Worldwide” on shortwave radio.  I did a weekly radio program for them but I my program was not on at the time.  They broken in to the program at the time and said they had news and said that “shots had been fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade in Dallas.”  I did not even know he was in Dallas.  I turned on the TV and started watch KCMO TV and Walter Cronkite.  I saw the above video live at the time.
  The father Huber mentioned in the broadcast I knew.  He had been my pastor at St. Vincent’s Church in Kansas City.  
   
  Walter Cronkite dead at 92.  Walter Cronkite was an amateur radio operator (KB2GSD) and so is a “Silent Key.”

New Zealand flight crew in nothing but body paint

 

 New Zealand must be a pretty neat nation.  This is adv for their air line.  They are saying they have nothing to hide.  They do not add extra fees.  The employees in the adv are real employees and they have on nothing but body paint.

Skinny-dip record attempt in WA

Dare to go bare in skinny-dip record attempt

June 16, 2009

By Jim Feehan

A nudist park south of Issaquah (WA) is participating in a national skinny-dip record attempt next month and you can join in.

Fraternity Snoqualmie Family Nudist Park is one site hosting the American Association for Nude Recreation event, The AANR Largest Skinny-dip Across North America.

The event will take place at noon July 11 at the park’s swimming and wading pools. Guinness World Records has agreed to create a new category for the largest number of people simultaneously skinny-dipping.

“This is a perfect excuse for anyone wanting to be nude in public for the first time,” said Dawnzella Gearhart, spokeswoman at Fraternity Snoqualmie. “People can say they’re participating in a world-record attempt.”

Fraternity Snoqualmie is a 40-acre park on the side of Tiger Mountain. Photo identification is required for admittance to the park. Children are welcome if accompanied by their parents. First-time visitors receive a complimentary one-day membership, Gearhart said.
