Portland Protester Dubbed “Naked Athena” Strips Down For Police

The Portland protester dubbed “Naked Athena” for her nude confrontation with armed police has revealed she is a sex worker. She said she was inspired to strip to confront the officers after being affronted by their “macho” stances. She says, “The fury arose in me and I told my friends ‘I want to be naked, I want to confront them’, and my partner said ‘I’ll hold your clothes’, and so I ducked in a doorway and took everything off except my mask and my hat… because its cold. And I walked out there.”

She added that she is “notoriously naked”: “There’s almost not anywhere that you can’t find me naked.” She believes her nakedness is a political statement, saying “I just wanted them to see what they’re shooting at.” Surreal video footage from the scene shows the woman striding towards the officers, who were in heavy protective gear including gas masks and helmets, completely naked. It takes a lot to truly “bare it all” for what you believe in!

100 Women Posed Naked at the Republican National Convention

womenmirrorPoliticians and celebrities weren’t the only ones making headlines at the Republican National Convention. The real showstopper turned out to be the 100 women who got completely naked in protest of Donald Trump’s hateful, anti-woman rhetoric. “The mass undressing was organized by photographer Spencer Tunick, who has been planning his large-scale nude photography project, titled ‘Everything She Says Means Everything,’ for months,” reports the Huffington Post. The women ranged in age, race, sexuality, and even political standing, but they all had one thing in common—to collectively come together to show the power and beauty of women in all their natural glory (see images below).

During the shoot, the diverse group of women disrobed and held large round mirrors over their heads to reflect the sky as well as the naked flesh of the women around them. As Tunick explained in a statement: “The mirrors communicate that we are a reflection of ourselves, each other, and of the world that surrounds us.” Tunick wanted the images to reject the everyday objectification of the nude female body, and to instead present it as something natural, empowering, courageous and collaborative. “Holding up the mirrors with the other undressed women, it was really special,” one woman said. “Seeing all the light reflected on all the bodies and faces. Everyone was so happy. We were proud.”
