I have been enjoying a book of photography I got the other day entitled The Spirit of Lady Godiva. This is a collection of photos taken to give a view of what life might be like in a clothing optional world. Models rehearsed the staged set up privately in the car or whatever, then would go into a public place, usually a landmark, drop their clothes, Harvey would snap the shots, and they would all disperse as quickly as they came in, sometimes without anyone even noticing the nudity.
The photos also have a little story telling about the scene or things that happened while shooting. I am inspired by the book to be a little more creative and fun loving in my daily routine. One picture made me think about how interesting it would be to go to the park, maybe downtown Austin, one day like one is on a lunch break, and find a nice place to sit in the sun and drop the top half of ones dress while eating lunch, and just enjoy the sun and breeze. How would that work out? Would anyone notice? Would the copcycles come and arrest the brave soul with the lust for life? Would others follow suit? I wonder?
If you live in a halfway civilized place in the U.S, someone will notice and tell you to cover up. You'll respond in a French accent that you're desolée, but didn't know you weren't allowed to, then cover up and no blood will have been spilt.
I suppose as an experiment you could measure how many minutes you're left to enjoy yourself...
