Chapter 29: Councilwoman Rogers

Eveline was not really a politician before she won the election. She really did not even consider herself a serious candidate. As far as she was concerned, running for office was nothing more than a publicity stunt that her boss had set up to bring notoriety to her modeling career.

Well, now she was a public official. Not just any public official, but the first full-time nudist public official ever elected in the US. She was now a public figure, with a lot of media attention directed towards her.

If I don’t watch what I’m doing, this can go really bad. Really, really, bad.

Eveline was obsessed with doing everything she could to avoid looking stupid. It wasn’t just the notoriety of being first nudist politician in the US. Her fear went much deeper than that. She was convinced that stupidity ran in her family, based on the fact that her mother and brother were both in jail for being idiots. She would avoid being stupid at all costs, and she would avoid any situation that would make her appear stupid, at all costs. Making a mistake or not having her facts straight was not an option for Councilwoman Eveline Rogers.

Eveline drafted Jenny and Lance to become her assistants by playing on their romantic attraction to her. As she put it:

“If you are not studying, sleeping, or practicing basketball, I expect you to be here. No questions. I want you here, ready to work. Whenever you have a moment of down-time from school is time you’ll will be spending with me.”

Eveline pushed her two lovers mercilessly. Jenny had to research everything having to do with school funding, sports, parks, and the university. Lance was responsible for researching everything else, as well as preparing speeches and talking points.

Eveline insisted that Jenny and Lance be naked at all times, whether they were with her or not. Jenny was contractually obligated to be naked by her university, but now Lance had to join her.

Nancy and the reporter Giselle were correct that if Eveline ran for public office, the publicity would give her more notoriety as a model. Within six months of starting her career with the auction house, she would become the most sought-after auction presenter in the US and participate in the sale of some of the most expensive and famous objects around the world.

Booking Eveline and Nancy to present at an auction became increasingly expensive. However, anyone wanting to sell off an over-priced object knew that whatever Nancy charged for Eveline to present, she’d pay for herself many times over. Eveline started to develop fans, who tuned into and recorded every auction where she was the presenter.

Eveline’s circumstances had committed her more than ever to living completely without clothes. She knew that if she was ever seen or photographed wearing anything other than her company’s sandals, it would seriously damage her career, not to mention being a breach of her contract. Her constant nakedness was part of her public mystique, along with her shy smile and quiet manner of carrying herself while she was working.

She wondered if she’d ever return to wearing clothing at some point in the future. If she did, it certainly wouldn’t be anytime soon.

Eveline’s political career advanced along with her modeling career.

At the beginning of her public service, no one took her seriously. She was nothing more than a novelty candidate. Yes, it was interesting that Tri-Rivers had elected the country’s very first full-time nudist to office, but really, who was going to take anything a naked 18-year-old had to say seriously?

It wasn’t just Eveline’s age and choice of attire. How could anyone say she was qualified to represent anyone? She has been elected due to unique circumstances that ensured she had almost no opposition. She was still in high school (after having flunked the previous year) and living with a teacher. She was a nude model; a highly-paid nude model, but just a nude model nevertheless. How much brains does it take to stand naked in front of some over-priced item, strike a pose, and smile?
