Chapter 43: Senator Rebecca Arnold

Both Jack and Susan looked at the naked lady and knew that they should recognize her. She had lovely round breasts like Susan’s but just a bit bigger and rounder on account of the age difference. They also both noticed the nicely manicured patch of blonde pubic hair done in the shape of a heart over the woman’s vagina. Moments later it all suddenly clicked in Jack’s brain. He knew exactly who she was. He had seen her on TV many times but before he could say something the naked woman began to speak.

The DIY sound system speakers squealed into life again as the naked woman addressed the crowd.

“Hello, I am Senator Rebecca Arnold. Thankyou very much for allowing me to address your street BBQ to celebrate Lifestyle Nudism. As you all probably know I am a graduate from Blanke Schande College. That College was once at the forefront in pioneering the practice of Public Nudity. Many other fine institutions have now taken up that same challenge and are equaling, if not surpassing, the work BSC did all those years ago. During my years at Blanke Schande College I became an Absolute. Back then it was a big thing to decide you were going to go naked in public both on the campus and off the campus. Since those days I have never worn a stitch of clothing anywhere or at anytime. Of course that is no longer a big deal anymore. Several years ago I got Lifestyle Nudism, as well as other lifestyles, recognized as a legitimate and protected lifestyle within the United States of America. This means that right across this great country of ours thousands of people have decided to shed their clothes and live a life of total nudity both in private and in public. I was actually hoping to have Tom Barry and Belinda Williams here with me today. Several years ago they became our nations first officially recognized Lifestyle Nudists. However, they are traveling through Europe at the moment ... on their honeymoon I believe. So all the best to them.

“Anyway, I was in town today and heard from one of your students at Altadena Progressive High that you were staging a Lifestyle Nudism Street BBQ. That particular, young student has been bombarding my office all week with emails and text messages about the things she thinks are so unfair about Lifestyle Nudism. As a result of those messages I have looked very closely at the whole range of statutes surrounding this Lifestyle and have decided to push through on legislation that makes ALL public schools in America Nudity Friendly. You won’t need any ‘dog-tags’ ... the student’s words not mine ... you can just decide on any day you like that you don’t want to wear any clothes and you will be totally free to do so. Of course this legislation will take some time to get through all the checks and balances but in the mean time I have been able to grant just one very lucky person a real piece of parliamentary privilege. If Rhonda Mead will come forward I would like to present you with a certificate that protects your individual right to be naked or clothed in school. At this stage you will be the only person in the US of A to have this right. In time I know it will be a right that every boy and girl going to school will be able to exercise. They will ALL be able to choose for themselves whether they want to go to school with clothes on or go totally naked and nobody will be able to interfere with their decision.”
