Reverse Streaking

Jan 11, 2008 22:44

Okay, so, 
spazzychic started a discussion about nudity (and also corm hamster, but in an unrelated and unperverted way).  That lead to me posting a comment, and that led me to thinking (I always write before I think because I can type so fast).

Anyway, here is my awesome, awesome idea: REVERSE STREAKING.

Here're the basics.  Streaking is taking advantage of boring people's shock at casual nudity by running around naked in a place where they would not expect to see a naked person (strip club stage, honeymoon suite at Grand Hyatt, proctologist office).  Sometimes it leads to arrest and sometimes they ruin that person's life by making them a sex offender (a 15 year old somewhere may or may not have seen their butt and been traumatized for life).

Reverse streaking attempts to do the opposite.  Find a place where nudity is the norm.  Not just the norm, but a place where it would be shocking to see somebody wearing clothing.  The best scenario would be a place where it would somehow be a crime to NOT be naked.  Then you suit up in a shirt, pants, a coat, socks, running shoes, a big fuzzy hat, mittens, neck warmer, giant flappy scarf (can't have too many of these), and whatever random extra fabric you can attach to yourself.  Then you go to the place where nudity is the norm and run through it screaming like an idiot, shocking everyone around you.  If you're lucky, there will be an elderly gentleman wearing only a monocle.  When you run by, he will exclaim "my word" and his monocle will fall off comically.  If you're unlucky, you'll die of heat stroke.

Of course, I can't think of anywhere where it is socially inacceptable to be wearing clothing.  A public shower of some sort, perhaps, but it's not so much shocking to see a person in lots of clothing in the showers as it is weird.  I was hoping there was a major religion that was big on nudity, but the only thing I can think of is orthodox Jews in a mikvah, and that's way too private for this sort of scenario.  A nudist resort would be fantastic, but I think they would assume that someone wearing clothing there was merely lost.  A crowded nudist resort that was milintantly obsessed with its naked rule would be perfect, I think.

I think I'll stop and go to bed now, but not because I think I'm very tired and clearly no longer sane.  On the contrary, it is because I have found the perfect descriptive image of the stodgy, stereotypical rich old Victorian man wearing only a monocle.
