“A weekend in the country, and a chance to get a few quiet country walks in. I know you don’t really like walking, but maybe I can change your mind.”

Milo Moiré’s Naked Tram Ride

Standard

Another video from the amazing Milo Moiré, this time with the clothing she “should” be wearing written on her body. She looks amazing, and the way that so many people try hard to ignore her is even more amazing. Although personally, I can’t thinking how cold she must be!

From her own description:

THE SCRIPT SYSTEM – Dusseldorf, Germany (2013)
„Daily life is characterized by “human automats ”. Can we break the stereotyped action?“

Always the same way to work, day after day…it is early in the morning…FAR TOO EARLY for performance art! Always the same way to work, day after day…it is early in the morning…FAR TOO EARLY for performance art! The semi-automatized operating according to an internalised script…enter, pass through, punch the ticket, sit down… Disturbed by a completely naked woman, right in the middle of it, dressed in words… What will happen? Astonishingly… NOT THAT MUCH!

The own radical nakedness turns in this process into a protective shield against the stereotype and paradoxically makes the artist invisible. If one allows stunning defencelessness, a protective, almost private space arises – even on the tram.

First Short Story Posted

Standard

I’ve put my first short story up on Indian Outlaw’s “ASN Story Board”, a place for stories about “…Stripping, nudity, or ENF”. I’ve enjoyed reading a lot of the stories on the site and was really interested in the process of writing one.

My story has Susan, who has just exited from a relationship, trying to regain her sexual confidence. Of course, the ending is fairly predictable, given how the stories on that site always end up, but it was fun to play with that predictability. It’s like foreplay where you know where it’s all going to end, but anticipating the ending for as long as possible makes the journey just as important, if not more so… (Actually, in my mind, it’s definitely more so.)

I’m rather pleased with the responses the story has had, especially from some of the regulars on the site, and it’s encouraging me to continue it. My favourite, which modesty forbids… oh, the hell it does:

This was truly a great story that was a joy to read. PLEASE tell me that there will be more!! I can see sooo many possibilities now that Susan has experienced her awakening.

The story is called Changing Rooms and I’ll try wrapping it up as a free eBook soon, but in the meantime you can read it here.
