And Who Said That Halloween Was Just For Children ?

Trick or Treat ? Judging by the ladies on the left, definitely a treat (although the man would presumably argue that it was cold on the day this photo was taken). Does anyone from Boulder, Colorado read this blog, because if so I would love to hear from you about the annual Nude Pumpkin Run. Apparently every year people strip off, wear trainers and a hollowed our pumpkin, and go running through the snowy night. Quite why I don't know, but let's face it, who cares ?

Apparently the local police are threatening to arrest anyone who takes part for 'indecent exposure'. This sounds stupid to me, as it suggests that there is something inherently indecent or wrong about a naked body. Last time I looked we all had one, and to pretend otherwise is borderline insane. That's not to say that I would personally participate in such an event, but I can imagine myself cheering the others on from a close viewpoint. But isn't it sad that attractive young people want to run around naked in public and we want to discourage it ? Personally I prefer looking at the ladies, but I'm sure there are many out there who have broader tastes. Either way, this event shouldn't be condemned, in fact it ought to be televised so we can all enjoy. But what do you expect from an establishment that reacted as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped, simply because Janet Jackson showed a nipple. She should have been given an award, and encouraged to do it every year ! It would certainly make the Superbowl a damn sight more interesting.

I'm not going to ask what kind of search term you typed into Google to find that picture.

It's from my own personal library.

And before you go there, no that isn't me in the picture. I'm the one holding the camera.
