DA Drops Charges Against Nude Muse

DA Drops Charges Against Nude Muse

Back in August photographer Zach Hyman brought one of his muses to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for some naked time. The 26-year-old model, Kathleen Neill, stripped down in the Arms and Armour exhibit, only to be arrested shortly after for public lewdness. Just a few days later she said: "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." more ›

Nude Model Wants A Naked City

Nude Model Wants A Naked City

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. more ›

Surprisingly, it seems the MTA is cooler with the naked human form than the Met is! more ›

Full Frontal Peep Show For L Train Riders

Full Frontal Peep Show For L Train Riders

The no-pants subway ride people really need to step up their game; photographer Zach Hyman is making them look downright demure, by riding the subway with a young woman who takes it all off, for free. (Not including the $2.25 cost of a subway ride.) Commuters don't even have to get bottle service or stuff a dollar in her G-string, because she's not even wearing one. In June Hyman took some shots on the L train as 19-year-old actress Jocelyn Saldana stripped down to her birthday suit; the 30-second gimmick landed Hyman a nice feature in the Post today, which happens to coincide with his show opening at a West Village gallery. According to the article, most straphangers were "blasé. But one woman started screaming and an elderly man next to her got the shakes." Hyman's series of nudes in public only feature women because, as he explains, "photographing females in public is easier than males. People see a naked woman and they smile. They see a penis and they freak out." Honey, ain't that the truth. We've provided a closer SFWish look at the "striphanger" below... more ›
