Oh man, would I love to be the lawyer that the city has assigned to research whether she can be prosecuted. That’s a job I could MILK! Hmm, I have to vistit several cities and venues where public nudity is allowed to discover its impact on the community. Then on to the strip clubs – places where nudity is allowed in extrmely limited circumstances. Of course, these would all involve extensive interviews with the naked chicks… ---

I don’t think her attire was all that out of line for the beach. That wasn’t really a G string she was wearing. ---

[QUOTE=Manduck] I don’t think her attire was all that out of line for the beach. That wasn’t really a G string she was wearing. [/QUOTE] I sure looked a lot more like lingerie than beachwear, though. Was that actually illusion netting on the little triangle above her crack? I wonder if it was also illusion netting in front. Maybe that’s why the cops could see her pubes. :eek: :eek: ---

[QUOTE=Manduck] I don’t think her attire was all that out of line for the beach. That wasn’t really a G string she was wearing. [/QUOTE] You’re right, it was definitely a bikini bottom. But the pasties are way over the line and she has to know that a bikini top (that likely wouldn’t cover much more, but it would be enough) would mean she wouldn’t be hassled at all. Sorry, if you’re going to protest something like public nudity statues, either have the (figurative) balls to actually be topless or stay inside. **Justin\_Bailey** , who knows that it’s legal in New York for women to walk around topless. ---

I miss Ojai. First place I ever went nekkid hot-tubbing. I used to live just down the hill in Ventura and Ojai was where we went when it was too nice a day to go to school. Great. Now I miss the '70’s, too. ---

Ojai? When I first started reading the article, I thought this was taking place in Japan or something. How does a town in California get a name like that? I haven’t watched the YouTube video, but in the picture of her in that article, you can totally feel the crazy bleeding right through your monitor. Of course, harmless, nearly naked crazy is the best kind of crazy. ---

Amsterdam has a guy like this. Spring, summer and fall youll see him rush by on inline-skates, through the streets of Amsterdams city centre, wearing nothing but a G-string and his inline-skates. He doesn’t seem to make a statement, though. And then we have the “walking work of art” [Fabiola,](http://www.buurt-online.nl/Gallery/Vak%20G/images/DSCF5281-border.jpg)a gay guy who has been a vague kind of activist for nearly four decades now. The look in his eyes reminds me a bit of the girl in the OP. Has the OP-girl actually cased any traffic incidents? That would, IMHO, be the only valid reason to get her to cover up. ---

I clicked on the link, and the picture of Pastie Lady opened up just as my daughter and her little cousin walked into the room. Fortunately I managed to close the window so fast they didn’t even notice. Does anyone here remember the Naked Man of UC Berkeley, from the mid-90s? ---

Very strange tangent: I don’t normally bother with YouTube, 'cause I have a modem and video downloads take forever. This time, though…well, she is awful cute… While this one was downloading, I was listening to mp3s on the computer; _Touch Me_ by Samantha Fox, followed by _Stranglehold_ by Ted Nugent. During these songs, I kept getting these random overlay audio snippets from the video that was downloading. A different experience. :dubious: 😕 DJs, be aware of this new technique with its potential for sonic abuse! ---
