Viva La F-READ-om!

Every September, the ALA organizes international Banned Books Week to draw attention to the problem of censorship in our country.

So we decided there was no better way to celebrate our F-READ-om than by taking our clothes off and doing it live in front of an audience!

Join us in Chicago on September 30th as we strip down and read selections from the Banned Books List.

Viva La FREADom!

WE’RE TURNING TWO YEARS OLD!

frankyvivid — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 05:28:32 +0000

We’re celebrating our 2nd birthday and doing it the only way we know how…IN OUR BIRTHDAY SUITS!

That’s right, folks. The literary salon that is literally sweeping the world started in Chicago two years ago. Since then, we’ve branched out to numerous North American cities and are soon opening in London England and Melbourne Australia. We’ve given away a Literary Honors of $500 for original writing and been recognized by independent publishers as a great force to encourage reading across the world.

So, what do we have in store for our 2nd anniversary? Cake? Yes. Live Music? Of course. A Naked Girl Dance Party? Why Not? A yelling contest? What? Ok!

To celebrate the world’s most salacious and magical literary salon we’re taking it to the French Quarter where the careers of many literary greats took root. From William Faulkner and Tennesse Williams to Anne Rice and John Kenney Toole, we’re getting all Naughty Gras – New Orleans style. Top it off with a Nawlin’s tradition – the annual Streetcar Named Desire “STELLA!” Yelling contest, live French Quarter Jazz by the Fat Babies and the first ever Naked Girls Dance Party and you’ve got one helluva barn burner.

This one will go down in the books as one of the best nights the Naked Girls have ever thrown…and THAT’S sayin’ something!

7pm, March 4 – at the Everleigh Social Club

LOVE STINKS! – International Literary Event

frankyvivid — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:42:06 +0000

Valentine’s Day can be a harsh reminder to some that love doesn’t always turn out like we want it to. But remember, all the great love stories are tragic. Whether it’s Romeo and Juliet or Ross and Rachel, I think we can all agree that love – when it’s done right – stinks.

So we feel there’s no better way to ring in the Valentine season than removing our clothes and reading from some of literature’s greatest heartbreaks. And this time, we’re doing it ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA! Every chapter of Naked Girls Reading is celebrating the month of February with Andrew Shaffer (Huffington Post Bad Boy) and his latest book, “Philosophers Who Failed at Love”. Click on a city to purchase your tickets for the “Love Stinks” event nearest you.

RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED (AND LIMITED). Get yours now!
