Let's get naked! And sign up voters
FB/PB x-post!
- A campaign to get out the vote at a spa in San Anselmo on Thursday night attracted women who listened to music, got facials, had tarot and astrology readings and got naked.
The nudity part actually had a purpose -- to inform women that the last day to register is fast approaching. To deliver this message, seven women and one man stripped off their clothes, laid down on the grass and spelled with their bodies "OCT 18," the last day to register.
It was all part of a campaign by a Marin County group called Baring Witness, Salon Mollier and event planner Sondra Freundlich-Hall to bring some of the 22 million single women who failed to vote in the last presidential election back to the voting booth.
"This is ongoing nationally," said Donna Sheehan, who founded Baring Witness in 2002 when she organized women across Marin to strip down and spell anti-war slogans on beaches, ball fields and dung-laden pastures. "We're not unlike crop circles. We appear suddenly and mysteriously, and we are all shapes and sizes."

There's a picture, too, but I'm not sure you want to see it.
