N U D E PEACE DAY: You're invited to bodypaint and get bodypainted for freedom and peace, on N u d e Peace Day, the second Saturday* of each October, at Baker Beach, San Francisco. Adults of all genders and orientations. Free (BYO). Take #29 Muni bus to Baker Beach (either of two stops; ask driver); or bike there; or walk from Geary Blvd. and 25th Ave. Walk to northern parking lot, which has water fountain & toilets. From parking lot, walk north on beach (toward Golden Gate Bridge), thru prude zone and into clothing-optional zone. Then visually follow the cable fence (separating usable beach from protected vegetation) until you see a Leather Pride Flag (bearing a red heart, with stripes of black, blue, and white). If you don't see the flag yet, just enjoy the beach on your own. Look again for flag, or bodypainters, each half-hour, especially near the log stairway. We hope to be there by 2PM, possibly earlier; but no reliable time can be guaranteed. Rain cancels. For last-minute changes, go to http://pages.prodigy.net/seniornude *[ 2nd annual event will be on 8 Oct. 2005 ] ....... Senior Unlimited Nudes (SUN) demands freedom until death, for each human mind and body. SUN seeks civil, personal, intellectual, and erotic freedoms for all adults, of any gender and any orientation, especially those past forty. We work for clothing-optionality, body acceptance, self-expression, civil liberties, gender equality, mutual tolerance, and human rights. We struggle against prudery, shame, censorship, agism, and imagism. We're inspired by our teachers: Emma Goldman, Maggie Kuhn, Allen Ginsberg, E.L. (Davey) Davis, Betty Dodson, Joani Blank, Jane Juska, et alii. We demonstrate naked for freedom and peace at public events in San Francisco; sponsor two Yahoogroups (sfBarea & SaveFreedom); blog; write for IndyBay (indybay.org/lgbtqi/ ); celebrate Nude Peace Day; etc. ************* If you're 18 or older, please visit our sfBarea home page < http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sfbarea/ > Also please visit our weblog (thanks to Blogger.com): < http://seniornude.blogspot.com >. ........................

EROTIC ERASING, from A to Z ... Surely THOSE people can't do it.... Or those people shouldn't do it.... Or those people have no erotic feelings, no desires, no needs.... Or those people can't find partners.... Right? Yeah, right -- FAR right! ........... A is for Ability differences, and Ableism, and Age. B is for Body-fascism, and for Bears. C is for Color -- whatever the "wrong" color may be, which often varies. D is for Do-It-Yourself, as Demonstrated by Dodson! E is for Erasing expendable "extras" from erotic existence. F is for Fat, euphemized as weight, as size, as anything but FAT. G is for Gerontophobia. G is for Going silent, when you despair of being heard. H is for Hope, even when nobody encourages you. I is for Imagism. And for I, who am unworthy of love. And for the Invisibility of those whom society erases. I is for Independent Living Resource Center, San Francisco, whose button says "I'm too sexy for a nursing home." J is for "JUST SHUT UP! Don't even think about it, let alone ask for it..." K is for guilty Knowledge, which nice kids categorically cannot Know. L is for Loser. L is for Liking sex "too much". Or "not enough". M is for wanting More than you "deserve". N is for No, which so often seems easier to say than Yes. O is for Oldness, which we euphemize and patronize and Ostracize. P is for Pre-orgasmic women, once pitied and pilloried as "frigid". Q is for daring to bare your Queer side(s), or for Quivering in your closet(s). R is for repressive Rules, removing your erotic Rights. S is for Shame, and for Self-loathing, and for Suicide. T is for Timidity, forever postponing life 'til Tomorrow. U is for Uglyness (as defined by your national culture, or by some subculture, or by Hollywood). V is for Good Vibrations, always willing to lend you a hand. W is for Waiting. X is for X-rated, censored, forbidden, unspeakable, unthinkable, unwantable. Y is for Youth -- legally "too young" to want erotic love, according to provincial or national governments. Z is for Zo-ophilia -- the sin and crime of loving a "wrong" species. From A to Z, we get arrested, bashed, chastized, demonized, erased, frowned upon, mis-governed, hated, ignored, joked about, killed, lied to, lied about, muffled, negated, outlawed, pitied, quashed, repressed, shamed, taunted, used, vilified, warned, X'd out, yawned at, zipped-up. And yet, from A to Z, the erotically erased, and their allies, will ACT UP, FIGHT BACK! ..... -- Auntie Tortuga Bi LIBERTY, San Francisco, California, U$A. http://pages.prodigy.net/seniornude Second edition.
