Putting the "nether" in Netherlands


Hey all. Ashvegas in the house. Yes, the hound dog has arrived, and we’re here to spice things up a little.

There’s been a decided dearth of dare here of late. Looking at the past posts, we thought this blog had been renamed “Drudgery Mama” or something. Sheesh.

So let’s get right to it. This past weekend, a photographer named Spencer Tunick got a couple thousand people to pose nekkid in the Netherlands so he could take photos. He specializes in this kinda thing - getting a bunch of crazy white people together to pose naked in the town square. Who signs up for that sort of thing - baring your nether regions for all to see? And where can I sign up for this dude’s job?

Here’s a little blurb:

Dozens of women posed naked on their bicycles on a bridge over one of Amsterdam’s historic canals Sunday - a unique sight even in a city famed for its relaxed attitude toward nudity and sex.
They were among 2,000 men and women who participated in a series of four nude group photos in the city in the early hours of the morning as part of the latest project of U.S. photographer Spencer Tunick.
The first and largest composition was in a decidedly prosaic location: a parking garage on the outer ring of the city.
But what the location lacked in romance, it made up for in style. Participants lined the railings of the garage’s twin circular towers, creating a pattern of multicolor stripes against the white building and an overcast sky.
The women on bikes were selected from the larger group and posed with their chins pointed triumphantly upward toward the sky.
Other compositions included a group of men posing together near the parking garage and a mixed group of men and women on another bridge.

Here is the Yahoo linky

We know we’re going to get in trouble from Edgy for posting the little photo, but c’mon, we’re posting this in the name of news. In the name of art and photography. Ok, in the name of nekkid boobies. But lighten up out there, Edgy. It’s why we’re called Ashvegas.
