A Picture and 1,000 Words: Naked in Public |
 It’s safe to say that Philip Carr-Gomm is the rare man of letters who would admit to reading Playboy for the centrefolds, rather than the articles. His new book, A Brief History of Nakedness, is exactly what it sounds like, complete with numerous photographs such as the one seen above. But rather than providing flimsy justifications for his ogling, the book instead offers a sustained mediation... More... |

Naked Lunch – and Naked Breakfast |
 The shortcoming of eating nude in public, so to speak, is pockets. There are none.
