Naked Man Disrupts Local Middle School

School Staff Tries To Capture Man

POSTED: 9:33 am EST January 14, 2005

DETROIT -- A naked man created tense moments at a Detroit middle school Thursday.

The 23-year-old man walked through the front door, passed a school security guard and forced his way into the office of Taft Middle School at about noon, Local 4 reported. The man -- who police said is mentally challenged -- demanded that school employees listen to his "demo tape," according to the report. Then he started to remove his clothing.

"All of the teachers tried to grab him. He pushed some of them down," said eighth-grade student Rita Woodard.

Woodard said nobody could grab the man.

When police arrived at the school, the man was naked. He tried to enter a classroom by breaking a window, Local 4 reported.

"I saw all the blood on the floor and on the doors, and the window bust out," said eighth-grader Dominique Moore.

Police were able to detain the man.

No one in the school was hurt. Classes were dismissed early.

"I was real scared. I didn't know what was going to happen," said Woodard.

Concerned parents came to the school to pick up their children.

"Anybody can go in at anytime," said parent Teresa Jenkins. "It's not secure."

The man was taken to a nearby hospital for a mental evaluation. Police did not release his name.

Fan of arts leaves estate of undress

By Sheila Farr


A Seattle man has left the city about $1 million with the stipulation that it be spent on a new fountain for the city.

Not just any fountain, however. The artwork has to include at least one life-size naked man. And a realistic one at that.

Stu Smailes was a retired computer analyst for Safeco who died in 2002 at the age of 69. The bequest to the city was his entire estate, except for a charitable trust of about $400,000 that was distributed after his death, said his attorney, Tim Bradbury. Smailes was an only child, and had no immediate family.

Bradbury said Smailes had supported arts groups in the past, but none of his previous gifts were on this scale. Bradbury wasn't clear where Smailes' money came from, although he speculated that some of it may have come from selling his waterfront property.

Court documents require that Smailes' bequest be used exclusively "for the purpose of designing, constructing and maintaining a fountain or fountains located within the city of Seattle. The fountain(s) shall include one or more unclothed, life-size male figure(s) designed in the classical style, i.e.: realistic," according to Karen Bystrom at the City's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs.

Bystrom said her office became actively involved last spring, and somebody there suggested that the naked-man fountain should go to Seattle Art Museum's new Sculpture Park. "I don't know whose idea it was, I just know that there was an opportunity to work with SAM and the sculpture garden, so that's the direction we decided to pursue first."

The agreement is still being negotiated. "The city is going to assign our interest in the bequest to SAM," Bystrom said. "That is the transaction that is being worked on now."

A spokesperson for the art museum said there are no firm plans yet for the fountain. "We have had conversations with the city and the Smailes estate on the possibility of a sculpture project. However, we have not entered into any agreements at this time and so it is premature for us to discuss any details."

Bradbury was unwilling, while negotiations were continuing, to give any of the reasons why Smailes left his money for this project. Asked for some insight on his personality, Bradbury said Smailes was a great fan of the arts, especially musical theater. "He was a very funny man," Bradbury said, with a "very strong sense of humor."

Artist covers herself with raw meat

A Chilean performance artist is causing controversy by covering her naked body with raw meat.

Chilean artist Gabriela Rivera /Freelance

Gabriela Rivera appears at the Espana Cultural Centre in Santiago with her whole body covered in strips of meat.

The performance also includes photographs of the artist with raw meat partially covering her face.

Mrs Rivera brings her performance to a finale by letting the pieces of meat fall off one by one, reports Las Ultimas Noticias.

She said: "I wanted to experiment with my body and the pieces of raw meat work perfectly because they are very thin and they almost get glued to my body."

And she admitted: "It doesn't feel disgusting but it is a weird feeling."

Prof to study why women flashed breasts at hockey fans

Canadian Press
Jan. 20, 2005 05:51 PM

CALGARY - A study into why women flashed crowds of Calgary Flames fans during last year's NHL playoffs should shed light on current Canadian attitudes about female nudity, says a Calgary professor.

"There are gender role issues here," said Mary Valentich, of the University of Calgary's Faculty of Social Work.

"These women are doing something unconventional and yet they're using the traditional sexual route to express whatever they're expressing."

She said Ontario student Gwen Jacobs started the ball rolling in 1991 when she was convicted of indecency for walking bare-breasted down a street in Guelph, Ont. She was protesting the inequality of a law that allowed men to take their shirts off in public and not women.

Five years later the Ontario Appeal Court reversed her conviction.

"It took Gwen Jacobs in Ontario to protest by taking off her shirt on a hot summer day and she had five years of legal troubles," said Valentich.

At a sex research forum last fall, Valentich heard a report on Canadian attitudes towards female toplessness that suggested that while most Canadians were comfortable with women baring their breasts at the beach, they were ill at ease when it was done on the street.

Further proof that Canadians are still favouring a more Victorian attitude about female toplessness came from a handful of phone calls Valentich received from the Calgary public.

"Certainly I've received my share of nasty phone calls already about even wanting to ask women what their experience was like," chuckled Valentich.

"There are clearly prohibitions in Canadian society about even talking about matters that are sexual. Think about women that are breastfeeding (in public) - there are still people who are invariably upset and are uncomfortable about this," she said.

Valentich is seeking women who flashed crowds of fans last spring along Calgary's famous Red Mile - the site of huge parties and celebrations as the Calgary Flames marched into the Stanley Cup final.

When Valentich was questioned by reporters about the behaviour of the women, she realized she didn't have any answers.

"I finally thought this is unfair to the women. I need to be able to have better data to respond more accurately," Valentich said.

The research will be released at the World Congress of Sexology being held in Montreal in July.

There are several possible scenarios as to why these women were lifting their tops including peer pressure, said Valentich who spent a bit of time on the Red Mile herself last year.

"Some women didn't do it so clearly there are still lines that were drawn. Some women chose to cross over the boundary - others didn't. What was the difference?", she said.

There is also the question of whether there were any short or long term consequences from the act and whether the booze and party atmosphere played a role.

"People mention drinking almost invariably, but I would say there's a lot of drinking going on in a lot of circles and people don't always engage in this kind of behaviour," said Valentich.

The professor declined to say how many women have contacted her to take part in the anonymous study so far, but she needs between 10 and 15 participants.

Valentich said women have flashed their breasts at folk festivals and other musical events in the past, but it is not an activity usually associated with hockey.

"We need to hear from women what was happening to them in that particular setting," she said.

Builders' naked reality show

Building workers in Chile became a local sensation after accidentally staging their own naked reality show.

Builders working on an enclosed site in Santiago walked naked to and from their showers as they thought they could not be seen.

But they were in full view of people on the opper floors of the neighbouring Vitacura Tower and the Radisson Hotel.

The workers´ shower time became a popular attraction for local women who flocked to the vantage points for the 'show' each day.

Word soon spread and TV crews and newspaper reporters went along to watch what was dubbed 'The builders' reality show'.

Witness Ana Arriagada told Las Ultimas Noticias: "When I saw it I blushed and laughed very hard. It was incredibly funny to see them feeling comfortable as if they were at home."

The construction workers still had no idea what was going on until they were alerted by their bosses who have now provided a roof for the shower area.

One of the workers was quoted as saying: "We had no idea of what was going on but we had no complaints!"

Tennessee Judge Convicts Naked Jogger


Jan 27, 5:03 PM (ET)

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A judge has put an end to a man's naked neighborhood jaunts. Fate Patterson, 39, was convicted Wednesday of indecent exposure, fleeing and resisting arrest.

Police had received reports for several months from a West Memphis neighborhood of a man jogging in the nude before they arrested Patterson on Jan. 11, an unseasonably warm day.

Officers said they saw Patterson jogging naked from the waist down and ordered him to stop. When he kept running, officers used a stun gun to end the pursuit of the pantless perpetrator.

Patterson was supposed to have a mental evaluation, but Municipal Court Judge William P. Rainey canceled it when Patterson admitted he entered a Florida woman's home naked two years ago.

"I don't need a mental health evaluation," Rainey said. "He's not crazy. He knows exactly what he's doing."

The judge sentenced Patterson to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Juice, movie and a lap dance

In South Dakota, challenges fail to squeeze out nude juice bar

Thursday, February 3, 2005 Posted: 0421 GMT (1221 HKT)


SALEM, South Dakota (AP) -- The mix of nude dancers, orange juice and black-and-white independent films wasn't in Bob Rieger's original business plan.

But it has helped his Racehorses Gentlemen's Club survive amid the cornfields of McCook County and fend off a two-year barrage of challenges from politicians and outraged members of Citizens Against Nude Juicebars and Pornography.

"I've been to court with them four times, and I beat them every time," Rieger says.

When the county denied Rieger a liquor license for a bar, he opened a strip club with a juice bar in 2003. When it served a stop order saying a commercial business could not operate in area zoned for agriculture, Rieger went to court and won.

And when 74 percent of the county's voters passed an anti-nudity ordinance in June, Rieger found a loophole that exempted movie theaters. After a two-week hiatus, the club re-emerged as Racehorses Gentlemen's Club and Adult Movie Theatre and has been operating ever since.

Now the county is drawing up a new ordinance that would require his dancers to wear pasties and G-strings. And a state senator plans to push for a similar state law.

"At this point, it's harassment," Rieger says. "They're really picking on me."

McCook County State's Attorney Roger Gerlach says the proposed ordinance is not an attempt to put him out of business: "As long as they have some opaque clothing over the crucial parts of the human body, they can dance all they want."

In the meantime, customers continue paying $10 cover -- actually called an all-day movie ticket -- to watch strippers dance. Patrons can sit next to the stage or get a private dance in a small room off to the side. They can also grab a stool at the juice bar and order a $3 soft drink or a $4 juice or power drink.

When Rieger retooled his business as a movie theater, he said he would feature independent, artsy R-rated films. During a recent visit, though, hardcore fare was playing in the club's 17-seat theater.

The 15-member Citizens Against Nude Juicebars and Pornography has organized protests outside the club and filmed patrons in the parking lot to discourage them from entering. Salem hair salon owner Maxine Pulse, the group's co-founder, says she saw men drinking and urinating in the parking lot and dancers coming to the door nude.

"There's a line between right and wrong," Pulse says. "And it seems like anymore nowadays that line has got all jumbled up."

After Rieger seized on a loophole in the law that allows nudity in such places movie theaters, health clubs and college art classes, Pulse's group dropped its protests for fear of being hit with harassment charges.

Republican state Sen. Clarence Kooistra plans to take the fight to the next level and propose a state law that would Rieger's dancers to cover up.

"We do not want the Salem area and McCook County to be known as Sin City, South Dakota," he says.

Conn. Bar to Host Naked Karaoke Contest


Feb 10, 8:15 AM (ET)

BERLIN, Conn. (AP) - After a yearlong fight with the town, a bar is going ahead with a plan to have patrons belt out ballads in the buff. On Saturday night, the Berlin Station Cafe is scheduled to hold its controversial "Naked Karaoke" event.

The bar has been under fire ever since co-owner Marty St. Pierre put up a fake sign advertising the event as a joke more than a year ago. The establishment's neighbors called Town Hall to complain, and St. Pierre was told he could face fines or arrest if he operated the naked musical performance without a permit.

But St. Pierre's business partner David Koskoff, who is also an attorney, sued the town in March, claiming that the ordinance was illegal, and the owners won their lawsuit.

"Now we're just fulfilling," St. Pierre said. "It's a completely voluntary activity. It's not like I'm paying people to do karaoke with clothing optional."

St. Pierre said 120 people have signed up for "Naked Karaoke" on Saturday night, but he is unsure of how many people will actually show up and bare all.

Gentleman's Club Challenges Nude Ordinance


Feb 16, 11:16 PM (ET)

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A city ordinance bans complete nudity at all gentleman's clubs, but one has challenged that ordinance by distributing pencils and sketch pads to patrons during "art night."

The ordinance does give nudity exclusions for artistic displays which include dance, ballet and dramatic performances, so every Monday and Tuesday, the club encourages customers to sketch the models as they perform nude routines.

"As far as the Boise city code, it specifies it has to be a serious artistic manner and this is a serious artistic manner," said Chris Teague, Erotic City owner.

The club has put on art night for two months, and Teague said he has not received any complaints.

Boise Police officials say the club has not been cited for any ordinance violations.

Neighbors: Dead Man Was 'Freaky'

By Beth Hahn
Mountain View Telegraph

Stephanie Ramos remembers her older sister coming home from a friend's house with strange tales of a naked man next door.
"She was always coming home saying how he would stand outside naked and stare at them," she said last Thursday as she watched police prepare to storm a McIntosh home. "They would get freaked out and go inside."
The man known in McIntosh for his nakedness and bizarre behavior was shot and killed by police after a 12-hour standoff.
According to police, John Losch, 58, fired at Torrance County sheriff's deputies as they approached his home to serve a court order for him to vacate the property at 47 Justin Road.
As more than 100 law enforcement officers gathered on Willow Lake Road, Ramos and other McIntosh residents speculated about the man inside the green trailer house.
"The guy is just freaky," said Melissa Stalnaker.
Losch used to baby-sit Stalnaker and her sister, she said. She was subpoenaed in 2001 to testify against him during a trial in which he was later acquitted of aggravated indecent exposure.
"He's been (reported) on a lot in the last 10 years and nothing was ever done," said Stalnaker.
One of those complainants was neighbor Peggy Hume, who said Losch used to photograph her using a telephoto lens and leave the pictures, along with "suggestive" letters, on her front gate.
For 10 years, Hume was Losch's nearest neighbor. She said he seemed like a nice person when she first moved to McIntosh in 1995— even helping jump-start her car when the battery was dead.
But two years later, Hume said, the man accused of shooting a sheriff's deputy and property owner Kevin Austin last week started behaving strangely.
"The last eight years, it's been hell," she said. "He should have been put away years ago."
Hume said Losch would flash a large mirror at cars that drove down the road and added that he would flash the mirror at her inside her house "to let me know he was watching me."
He even rode his bicycle around with "nothing but a shirt and a smile on," said Hume.
She also suspects he broke into her house at least once during the past decade and remembered hearing a gunshot one afternoon.
"I was out working in the garden when I heard the bang and the ping of the bullet," Hume said.
She called the sheriff's department, but deputies were unable to find a bullet, she said.
Hume said she complained to the Torrance County Sheriff's Department several times about her neighbor's unsettling behavior, but none of the reports resulted in legal action.
Apparently, Losch was also busy fortifying his trailer house, which Hume said did not even have electricity.
The house, located at 47 Justin Road, stands on top of a hill and is surrounded by a four-foot high wall of discarded tires filled with sand. Additionally, Hume said Losch dug two trenches across his property to keep potential intruders or the curious away.
In addition to Hume, both Stalnaker and Ramos said they either filed complaints about Losch with the sheriff's department or they know friends and relatives who did.
"They called the sheriff several times about him," said Ramos, referring to family friends.
Hume said the harassment and bizarre behavior made her life miserable for eight years.
"He ruined it for me, you know, living out there," she said.

Protester on indecent exposure charge arrives at court naked

17.02.05 1.00pm

An environmental protester charged with indecent exposure arrived for his appearance at Auckland District Court today naked.

Simon Oosterman, 24, a computer technician, was charged during the Auckland Naked Bike Ride last Sunday, an event he organised to protest against society's dependence on the car.

After Oosterman was stopped by police, the rest of the riders covered up the lower parts of their bodies to avoid arrest.

Today, Oosterman and three supporters, two males and a female, stood outside the couthouse naked and bearing a banner that read: "Stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions".

He then went inside and headed up the escalator, still naked, to the courtrooms.

He got dressed before entering court, where he pleaded not guilty and was remanded on bail to reappear on March 21.

Outside court, Oosterman said he would be fighting the charge, arguing that public nudity was different from indecent exposure.

"The purpose of the protest was to draw attention to the issue of transport emissions," he said, noting that the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gases came into force yesterday.

"There has to be a distinction between people flashing young girls and public nudity, which is benign."

Oosterman said he had decided to get dressed before going into the courtroom because he didn't want to risk being charged with contempt of court.

"The police actually sent a senior sergeant from the police station and he saw me go up the escalator," he said. "He told me he was grateful I got dressed at the top."

Oosterman added that he had received plenty of support over his stand.

There had been emails from around the world after news of his arrest, and today there were plenty of thumbs up from passers-by.

"The people at the court thought it was funny too," he said. "Most people supported it. Not one person said anything negative."

Oosterman has protested nude in public before, over genetic engineering.

'Artful' strippers escape censure


The club's amateur artists are unlikely to rival Picasso's famous nudes
A US strip club has managed to sidestep laws banning total nudity in public by offering customers the chance to make drawings depicting its dancers.

The club in Boise, Idaho, charges $15 (£8) for a sketch pad, pencil and dance performance, in what is billed as an "Art Club Night", Reuters agency says.

A city law passed in 2001 forbids complete nudity in public unless the display has "serious artistic merit".

The law was meant to provide an exemption for plays and art classes.

Abandon garments

"We have a lot of people drawing some very good pictures," the owner of the Erotic City Strip Club, Chris Teague, told Reuters.

Several drawings made by customers have been put on the club's walls.

Mr Teague said the idea was born out of a request from a customer, who wanted to enter the premises free of charge in order to sketch the dancers.

Spotting a loophole in the law, Mr Teague ordered his dancers to altogether abandon the few garments they wore for the "art classes".

Police hunt late night nudists

Police in a town in Montenegro have had dozens of complaints about naked men taking late-night walks in temperatures as low as minus 15C.

Police in Berane say the men were fully naked and appear to emerge only at night - usually in pairs.

Officers say they have no idea who the nudists are and have increased patrols in the area to try and catch them.

Local media speculated the men could be walking naked either after losing a drunken bet or for health reasons.

Many experts believe it is good for the health to spend time in the frozen snow, especially after a hot sauna.

Naked lunch as NY restaurant goes au naturel

By Claudia Parsons, New York
The Irish Examiner 21/02/05

THE diners arrived at a nice Manhattan restaurant on a cold February night and stripped off coats, hats, gloves and scarves. They didn't stop there. Skirts, shirts, pants, underwear and stockings all ended up stashed in plastic bags by the bar as the patrons got naked for the monthly Clothing Optional Dinner.

"It's exciting to be in a restaurant nude," said George Keyes, 65, a retired junior high school English teacher.

Nude yes, but not unadorned.

Keyes, a lifelong nudist, wore a necklace, earrings and a black leather "genital bracelet" with red studs. And white sneakers.

The dinner was started by a group of New York nudists who wanted something a bit more elegant than the wilderness getaways and beach resorts they generally frequent.

"When you go away on holiday it's more you're roughing it in the woods, whereas this is a really nice restaurant," said Keyes, a member of gay nudist group Males Au Naturel, or MAN.

John Ordover set up the dining club about a year ago, recruiting members through word of mouth and the internet.

"Next month is our Easter bonnet event, where everybody has to come wearing an Easter bonnet," said Ordover, a heavyset man with a jovial smile and glasses.

Around 30 people arrived for the buffet dinner - organisers specified no hot soup on the menu - most of them middle-aged, several married couples, some singles, the youngest perhaps in their 30s.

"They're a good class of people, they're no different to you or I," said John Bussi, owner of the midtown restaurant.

"They're not hurting anybody, it's not a wild Roman orgy," he added.

Health regulations mean staff must remain clothed even if they wanted to join in. And diners must bring something to sit on - a towel or, for more discerning diners, an elegant silk scarf.

The restaurant's manager covered the windows to maintain privacy at the strictly private party.

Extra heaters kept the temperature at a comfortable level for nudity.

Ordover's wife, Carol, said they first went on a naturist holiday five years ago and she found the experience empowering. But, she explained, it's "the least sexual thing you can possibly imagine".
 
I have nothing against nudes or their practises, but I'm not keen on the hairy ones..... :shock:
 
Nude Man Steals, Wrecks Philly Police Car

1 hour, 27 minutes ago


PHILADELPHIA - Police chased a naked man through the city's slushy streets early Monday after he allegedly stripped off his bathrobe, bit an officer, then stole a police cruiser in an attempt to escape.



The man was captured after he smashed the cruiser into several parked cars, abandoned the vehicle and tried to get away in his bare feet.

The episode unfolded at around 1:30 a.m. when police were called to a block in North Philadelphia to investigate complaints about a person screaming in the street. Officers arriving on the scene said they found a man running about in his bathrobe in the freshly fallen snow.

The officers gave chase. The man shed his robe, then allegedly bit a female officer on the arm, climbed into her patrol car and hit the gas. He drove only a few blocks before crashing, police said.

Police did not immediately release the suspect's name. He faces charges including car theft and assault.

Nude Man Covered in Nachos Gets Probation


Feb 28, 10:27 PM (ET)

MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A man caught by police last summer on his 23rd birthday running naked and covered in nacho cheese pleaded guilty Monday to burglary and four other charges.

Michael David Monn of Maryville appeared before Blount County Circuit Court Judge D. Kelly Thomas and pleaded guilty to burglary, theft, vandalism, indecent exposure and public intoxication. In a plea bargain with prosecutors, Monn was sentenced to three years in prison but was given supervised probation.

He also was given a judicial deferral, which means if he stays out of trouble for the next three years the charges will be expunged from his record. Thomas warned Monn that if he violates the sentencing requirements, he must serve the sentence in a state penitentiary.

Early on the morning of July 18, 2004, Monn "was highly intoxicated, broke into the John Sevier Pool snack bar area, stole some snacks and did some damage and was caught naked with some stolen snacks," Blount County District Attorney General Mike Gallegos told the courtroom.

A police officer found Monn that morning in the parking lot of the pool facility after Monn had apparently scaled an 8-foot-tall fence and was seen running toward a Jeep with a box of stolen snacks and a container of nacho cheese.

In addition to being naked, Monn had nacho cheese in his hair, on his face and on his shoulders, police said. He also had a strong odor of alcohol and was semi-incoherent.

In his Jeep, Maryville officers found clothing and an open bottle of vodka.

Female transient allegedly wrestles naked with dog

By By EMILY MORRIS The Daily Sentinel

Thursday, March 03, 2005

A female transient was arrested Tuesday for wrestling naked with a Grand Junction resident’s dog.

Katherine Earle, 40, jumped over an acquaintance’s four-foot fence at 603 N. Sixth St. just before midnight Tuesday and took off her clothes to start wrestling with the male dog, according to the arrest affidavit.

Earle woke up the occupants of the home, who called the police, according to the affidavit.

When the police arrived, Earle told them she was having sex with the dog and that she does it all the time, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit said Earle was very intoxicated.

Earle had a warrant for her arrest and was booked into the Mesa County Jail to serve a 25-day sentence, according to the affidavit.

Six Starr, the dog’s owner, said she has known Earle for two years, but in the past six months Earle has started acting strangely. Starr said Earle is friendly with the dog, but this is the first time she has been caught wrestling naked with it.

“What took place last night, I don’t even want to guess,” Starr said.

The dog, named Blue, a Labrador retriever and blue heeler mix, appeared undisturbed by the events. During the interview, he was chewing on Earle’s sock, a souvenir from the tryst.

Nudist pastor to hold naked services

A naturist church minister has called on like-minded Christians to join him in celebrating religion in the nude.

Nudist Pastor Bob Wright is calling on likeminded Christians to gather at his Brisbane Church for a weekly nude service /Empics

Pastor Robert Wright, 51, is to hold weekly fellowship meetings at a nudist resort near Brisbane, reports the Australian Daily Telegraph.

Mr Wright, who has been a naturist for more than 16 years, said: "I am not trying to get Christians to become nudists, I am catering for Christians who are nudists."

Mr Wright, who was ordained three years ago, is also to open a naked music festival at nearby Cabarita and lead services there.

Even security guards will be naked at the event, Raw Cabarita, which promises "an awesome three-day party where clothes aren't necessary".

But Mr Wright added: "Nude is not rude, and the festival will not be like a '69 Woodstock-type thing.

"There are more Christians in it than people realise. We are not into sex orgies, we are very well-adjusted people."
