We
always thought public nudity was best
left to the Germans. But it seems Britain
is losing its sangfroid with the sunshine.
A naked glass blower wants to stand atop
the Fourth Plinth, Britain's Next Top
Model was a floating-nipple-fest last
Monday, and Lady Gaga's still terrorising
our shores in her pants. All in the name
of art. |

Hey,
even Channel 4 are on board. July will
see the first ever televised life drawing
classes, bringing nudity to your living
room before the watershed. These will
be preceded by nationwide
public 'pop-up' classes, encouraging
bystanders to get their pencils out.
Get some practice in beforehand at Papered
Parlour, launching tomorrow as Clapham's
answer to craft, minus the doilies. Classes
including life drawing, jewellery design
and book-making are run entirely by graduates
of University of the Arts London, whilst
serious arteests can get down to business
in the rentable workspace.
And should you need a swanky space to
show off your new skills, where better
than talent agency INC's new members club?
A state-of-the-Art facility across five
floors, the contemporary interior offers
art and photographic studios, launch spaces
and presentation facilities.
Your body is a wonderland. And now it
can offer daytrips.
