Yet another case of folks Stripping for Peace (or, as they are calling their group, “Disrobe to Disarm” or “Take Back the Bush<\/a>“), similar to the Marin <\/a>demonstration of a while back, only this time in Australia. <\/p>\n

See, these women want to strip down for peace, and show off their vulnerable bodies as a way of projecting the vulnerability of human life in the face of war-mongering etc., etc.<\/p>\n

Knight and her Byron sisterhood plan to take their clothes off and pose naked this Saturday in the lush hills around the hamlet of Federal to form giant letters spelling “No War”, inspired by women in the United States and Europe who have undertaken similar stunts recently.
\n“It’s the only way we will be noticed and heard,” explained Knight from her Byron Shire home yesterday.<\/p>\n

But they don’t want to be noticed too <\/i>much.<\/p>\n

“I really want this thing to snowball so that our Prime Minister will finally get to hear what some of the women in this country think,” Knight said. “There are no men allowed. I, like a lot of the other women, are not too keen showing off out tits and fannies in public, and the presence of men there would make it even more difficult.”
\nThe exact location is also being kept secret. Women are being to told to meet at 8.30am at a marshalling point in Federal before being taken to the location where, once they’ve disrobed, a small light plane carrying photographers will fly over taking shots to be distributed to the media.<\/p>\n

See our vulnerability. But don’t see too<\/b> much. Observe how we bare ourselves to get attention. But we don’t want any attention that’s too<\/b> personal. See how we put our consciences and our bodies on the line for the innocent people of the world. But keep your distance<\/b>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Yeah. Impressive.<\/p>\n
