Artist Milo Moire arrested in Paris for taking naked selfies with passers-by in front of the Eiffel Tower

A Swiss artist has been arrested in Paris after she stripped down to her shoes and invited people to take selfies with her in front of the Eiffel Tower while she was completely naked.

Artist Milo Moire’s ‘Naked Selfie’ performance in the Trocadero in front of the Eiffel Tower was shut down on Sunday when police arrested her on the grounds that it is an offence for a person to display their genitals in public.

She was also featured mentioned here a a while back when she did a piece of performance art where she walked city streets and took a subway wearing only a shoes, a purse, and painted on labels for clothes. Apparently her 15 minutes of fame were in danger of expiring.

The artist was told to get dressed before she was taken to a police station, read her rights, fingerprinted photographed, according to her manager Peter Palm. She then spent the night in a police cell, Le Matin reports.
. . .
According to Le Matin, Moire is expected to appear before a judge today. The newspaper reports that under French criminal law, the exhibition of genitals in a public place is punishable by up to a year in prison and a €15,000 fine.

If they send her to the Bastille for a year, do you think she will wear clothes?

Actress Dita de Leon

Homeowner Fights Back After Neighbors Accuse Visitors of Being 'Buck Naked, People Doing Sex' in Hollywood Hills

"People buck naked, people doing sex out in open. Drinking," resident and father Sanjeeb Kumar told NBC4. "Our own backyard, it's scary. Scared to come out."

"I think it's really hard when a lot of us have children and we are driving by and the kids see strange things and ask, 'Why is that going on there?'" another neighbor said.

A woman who identified herself as the homeowner, an actress named Dita de Leon, told NBC4 on Thursday those accusations are lies and that her security cameras "never captured anything like that."

"They're fabricating lies that people are having sex in public, that's not true," she said. "That's false. Unless they can produce proof that happened, that's false, and they were not my guests."

There are rules about nudity in Hollywood? Who knew? Anyway, I can't imagine any guests of hers acting against community standards, whatever they are.

The Painted Cyclists engage and entertain the crowd with our boldness, bareness and enthusiasm. Join us as we welcome summer to Seattle with an outpouring of artistic expression, fossil-fuel-free travel, and fun.

Maybe next year. . . I wonder how well body paint protects against road rash?

One man's year as a nudist

Sounds better in theory than in practice

. . .But one year was enough. If he's in the Caribbean, on a beautiful deserted beach with his wife, then he might go for a skinny dip. "But do I want to stand around a barbecue with 100 other naked people? Not so much," he says.

One conclusion he has drawn is that nudism is definitely not about sex. On the other hand, that doesn't mean people never take a good look at one another.

"We're humans you can't help it. Sometimes I'd find myself staring at people and thinking, 'That's what that looks like!' You could really marvel at all the surgical scars, like they were wearing their medical history on their bodies.

"There's nothing more fun than seeing an 80-year-old lady checking out your package."

Well, that's all for now.
