Chapter 112: The Expectations of the NTFLN

It went all quiet again as Sonika cleared her throat and started on about the upcoming Teen Beauty Pageant.

“As you all know the four Beauty Pageant sessions begin Saturday week. We have been offered a rare opportunity to front the Pageant with opening and closing performances for each of those four Saturday nights. The National Trust For Lifestyle Nudism will be paying the church a total sum of sixty thousand dollars for eight performances. That’s fifteen for each night. You will all each receive a portion of that sum once the whole event is over. Jessie Harper will be doing a few solo performances and as such will receive a bit extra for her efforts. Because they are ‘donating’ such a generous amount to the church they will be expecting a top notch and very professionally produced bracket of songs for each of the eight sessions we do. We will be doing three songs per bracket with at least one solo from Jessie in each set. This all means that we have just under thirteen days to knock this thing together for this once in a lifetime opportunity. Do you think you are up to it?”

Once again the room went completely silent before, once again, that same little hand went up to ask another question. Sonika signaled with a nod for the young girl to proceed.

“With them paying so much for us to perform at their Teen Beauty Pageant how will they be expecting us to dress? Their primary goal in all of this is the promotion of Lifestyle Nudism in all its various forms. Will they be expecting us to perform in the nude? And if so then how much of the time?”

The choirmaster looked at the young girl then at the rest of the group and said, “Yes, well, I was coming to that and yes, your assumption is correct. The NTFLN will be expecting us to perform naked for at least one or two songs. Any more than that has been left completely up to us to decide. And, yes, they will, without exception, be expecting some nude performances from our girl with the voice of an angel ... particularly on the final night when the registered participants will all be competing for the ‘Teen Beauty Pageant’ King and Queen crowns ... and all in the nude as they do so.”

Sonika paused for a bit before adding, “But I hope I’m right in assuming that no one will mind doing a few numbers in the nude. You all did so well performing naked for the very first time the other week and in a church of all places. As yet I haven’t heard of any negative feed back from any of you guys or anyone in the congregation. But if anyone does have any reservations then now is the time to voice them. We are going to need to rehearse every second night, if not more, for the next two weeks if we are to pull this off properly and I want anyone’s personal reservations dealt with immediately before we proceed any further. It’s going to be such a full on fortnight leading up to the Pageant and we just can’t afford to have anyone still not sure about the nudity thing half way along, particularly in front of a large audience. You need to tell me now or before you go home tonight if any of this presents a problem to you.”

Sonika Jharm had suddenly developed a cold hard stare that told everyone in the room that she meant business with this whole thing. No one had quite seen her so resolute on a matter before and it made them all sit up and take real notice of what she was asking - or rather demanding...

... which was nothing short of full disclosure right now if anyone had any qualms what-so-ever about any of this!

The room was suddenly very, very quiet indeed!
