As a woman, an exhibitionist, and a soon-to-graduate English major with a knack for reading aloud, I am highly interested in working with Naked Girls Reading. Any suggestions?

i despised albee's play the sandbox for exactly the same reason I am rapt with attention at this article.
I mean, wow, man.. like, wow.. you know?

@1: I'd go to nakedgirlsreading.com and send an e-mail. Most of the readers have been burlesque dancers, but maybe they'd be wiling to branch out.

It was pretty fun, and some of the reading was solid, but I'm pretty much done with Oddfellows until they get some chairs that don't seem to have been borrowed from a penitentiary. It was the same for the Atomic Bombshells when they performed there- actually worse, as the massively butt-hurting folding chairs were crammed together in tight rows reminiscent of high school plays.

I don't fault Indigo or anyone, they're doing their best, but seriously, I'd rather have "Nearly Naked Girls Reading" at the Triple Door, in a comfy booth, WITH BOOZE, if I had my druthers.

Paul, thank you for a fantastic, fantastic writeup! The couches, however, are leather. ;)

Whoa! Sorry about that.... I had browser issues... xo

Where are the Naked Boys Reading groups? Why does the nakedness always have to be all women? I feel so alienated as a straight woman who loves both reading and naked men.
11
Why didn't someone warn me?
I left my Scooby Snacks at home....
12
i'm sure if there's enough demand we could definitely get a naked boys reading group going. i'd participate in a heartbeat! i agree with your sentiment vima, and i'm a straight guy.

Vima,
in response to your question, I believe a Naked Boys Reading is being organized for Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Or you could just start one.

Paul Constant actually manages to come out and say, and yet completely glosses over, what truly makes NGR so special.
The titillation of seeing these women in the nude does wear off quickly, but for him to brush that aside as a gimmick without staying power is to miss the point.
These women's state of undress become secondary to their thoughts on literature. THEIR BODIES ACTUALLY CEASE TO BE INTERESTING TO A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE LISTENING TO THEIR WORDS. That's a pretty big deal.
This is not a book reading plus boobs, it is political act.
15
I'm holding out for NGRWSOYF: Naked Girls Reading While Sitting On Your Face. Can y'all make that happen?
16
Probably depends on the face.
17
@ 13 You are right about SEAF. I woulnd't go starting another group though...
18
If it was really true that women's breasts pointed inward or outward depending on the material they are reading, I would pay megabucks just to watch them switch books back and forth, and watch them swivel inward, out, in, out.... But then, I'm a pervert.
19
@10: My thoughts exactly.

@13: Damn, I've got to check that out!

This sounds like a blast. I have some of my old YA fantasy books that I would read naked for a crowd in a heartbeat.
20
How on earth did that 5th graph make it past the editor? It doesn't even make sense...
21
Oh, I see, because Paul Constant *is* the editor.

Please wait...
