Nude Model Wants A Naked City

php1RqRahAM.jpg Zach Hyman's latest nude subject is stealing the headlines from him. Today the NY Post talks to the 26-year-old Kathleen Neill, who was charged with public lewdness when she stripped down in the Metropolitan Museum's Hall of Arms and Armor. She wants the prudes in this town to lighten up, and told the paper, "I want people to have the freedom to express themselves. I want the city to drop the charges. I would love to be able to go to museums and see stuff like this happen on any scale." Since it's already legal for women to walk around topless in New York, maybe next year's topless march should focus on the full monty.

They call me Captain Nipples

she can get naked in my apartment whenever she wants.

as many beautiful people as there are in this city, there's still a lot more that i'd rather never see naked even if it meant getting to see some other ones naked.

The percentage of the general population that looks good naked in broad daylight is quite small. If it were legal to walk around naked, the ones taking most advantage of it would be fat, perverted old men. If you like blubbery, hairy beer bellies, you'll be in paradise.

Most Americans are prudes.

compile a list of those enviable nations whose majority population is not prudish in your estimation, chose one of those nations, and move there. and thanks for comin' out!

Tell me how to legally obtain an EU passport and I am out of here, you can even smack my ass with the door. I am so tired of the standard "if you don't like it here, get out" comment. Will one of you please lay out how exactly I can go live in Europe, because then I will, and I'll be happy, and you'll be happy that I am gone.

perhaps others are sick of self-loathing americans.

please, use the interwebs, get your info, and get the eff out. you will move and then quickly learn to hate things and people in your newly adopted home. meanwhile, myself, and other progressive people will be here, working to reform the grievances we have with our nation.

no matter where you're at it's fight or flight, baby.

I never said I hated America. I never said there aren't fucked up people everywhere. All I asked was for someone to give me a legal way to move to Europe and all I get is snooty crap about hating my newly adopted home. How the fuck do you know what I would like or not like? You already assume I don't like America. Make some more shit up, you pompous asshole.

do you have split personalities that don't communicate with one another or are you just old-fashioned retarded?

"Tell me how to legally obtain an EU passport and I am out of here..."

"Will one of you please lay out how exactly I can go live in Europe, because then I will, and I'll be happy..."

"You already assume I don't like America..."

I like America. I've lived here for 40 years. Now I would like to try living in Europe. Can I write that any simpler so that you can understand? I would be "happy" because someone finally answered my logistical questions rather than getting all defensive and spouting off ignorant comments like "use the interwebs, get your info, and get the eff out." I'm trying. Do you have any helpful information for me? Or do you just want to sit there and listen to your Toby Keith records?

Ok...I'll revise that. Most Americans are annoying as hell and are also prudes.

agreed. people who make a national issue out of every little thing are pretty annoying.

I seem to have found a useful link.

So if this woman stripped naked in the National Museum, the Louvre or the Prado, she wouldn't be arrested? Right...

Europeans are so much more sophisticated, haven't you heard? They're perfect in every way. At least for self-hating, effete, liberal American dingbats.

i always adhere to the opinions of actors and models. if they don't have a handle on objective truths then who does? who i ask?

Her opinions have their basis in her own personal vanity. Yeah, we get it, you're proud that you are a stereotypically hot women who many man would use as mental data for a wank-session. Congrats. Get back to me in a few years when you look like a bag of rats.

While "bag of rats" the phrase is hilarious, "bag of rats" the visual is repulsive.

In her case nudity works very well. I feel it would not work so well for the two Russian bathing beauties from yesterday's Gotham beach report.

please don't give this woman, or that "artist" any more publicity.
This stuff has been done many many times before.
I myself have already posed naked in the city about 12 years ago.

Americas act like little babies.

yeah, the human body is beautiful or whatever.

you're a freaking model. i'd rather the fat slobs of this city not have absolute freedom to express themselves as you have.

go to jail.

"I want people to have the freedom to express themselves. I want the city to drop the charges. I would love to be able to go to museums and see stuff like this happen on any scale."

Yeah. Thanks for sharing, dingbat. Do you mind if I'd rather NOT go to museums and see stuff like this happen--on any scale--whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean? I go to art museums to see ART, not self-absorbed airhead dingbats "expressing themselves," which, by the way, contrary to modern popular opinion, is not anything like the same thing as making art.

If it's a 'moment', I say go with God. If it's an agenda, I say "arrest the asshole!"

Isn't that being somewhat selective of her body parts? I mean she also showed her boobs and other unmentionable parts. Shouldn't they be arrested also?

Well, they should certainly be manacled :)
