AT LAST, AT LAST — the sun was shining, the mercury hit 90-plus, and half a dozen of us lit out for Central Park, to strip down to as little as the law allows and gorge ourselves on good books and good company. In the shade near Strawberry Fields, in the open sun of Sheep Meadow, we lounged and laughed and read, and even made a few converts — three young women a few yards away saw us and were bare-breasted themselves instants later. It’s a movement! A revolution! Or at least one hell of a nice way to spend a summer afternoon. Here are some photos of this year’s grand debut, with more to come…








I’m not usually a tattoo fan, but the image on one lady’s left thigh leaves me curious. I would like a better view of the tattoo in question. Anyway, this man is happy all of you are enjoying yourselves again in the nearly all-together.
I do have one kind of venue to suggest: how about locations near the water?
There are some shots from our visit to Battery Park, near the water, at http://coedtoplesspulpfiction.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/apres-nous-le-deluge/.
Really glad that you all had some great weather to enjoy! Looking forward to seeing you enjoy great books all summer!
