20080615 I went into stripping for all the wrong reasons


"Craig Seymour: I went into stripping for all the wrong reasons"

June 25, 2008

What a hoot. How could I have missed this? As an artist and a writer, I have gone through some pretty lean times in my life. However, I must admit that this is not an idea that I ever considered…
"I went into stripping for all the wrong reasons."

After Craig Seymour Took It All Off, He Wrote It All Down

Sunday, June 15, 2008; M02 by Gabe Oppenheim for the Washington Post


Before Washington leveled Southeast's gay clubs for a stadium, when neighborhood men could get up close and sweaty together without being in the Nats lineup, Craig Seymour, 39, took the stage in a G-string.

A PhD student and stripper.

This fall, he joins the journalism faculty at Northern Illinois University.

[…]

I always wanted to be a writer, but taking the risk as a stripper allowed me to take risks in other parts of my life. . . .

[…]

I wouldn't put stripping on the curriculum for J-school. That was just part of my journey. That happened to be the thing I needed.

The better solution perhaps is just to take chances all along the way. I think I had made so many safe decisions in my life, I needed a big decision like stripping. . . .

I went into stripping for all the wrong reasons. I went into it because I actually thought it would help me make peace around the issues I had with body image.

De minimis non curat lex?

June 18th, 2007

I must note that the Pillage Idiot is on quite a roll these days. He must be younger than me or perhaps I wanna know what coffee he drinks to maintain the energy; but his post, “De minimis non curat lex?” wins the Dayhoff Dr. Pepper award.

Or perhaps his post warrants a new category, the “Reductio ad absurdum award”

Of course it all reminded me of the 1966 song by “Peter and Gordon, “Lady Godiva:”

Of “Lady Godiva,” Wikipedia notes:

Godiva (or Godgifu) (c. 990?–September 10, 1067) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry in England in order to gain a remission of the oppressive toll imposed by her husband on his tenants. The name "peeping Tom" for a voyeur comes from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom watched her ride and was stricken blind.

Anyway, the Pillage Idiot writes:

The New York tabloids are having a field day with a settlement between an East Village artist and the City over her arrest for going out topless on the street.

New York Post: "'Bust'ed Gal Payoff."

New York Daily News: "Bra-vo! $29G in topless suit"

The artist, Jill Coccaro, "who now goes by the name Phoenix Feeley" (no immature jokes, please), relied on a 1992 decision of the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, which held that prohibiting women, but not men, from going topless violated equal protection.

Read the rest here – after you safely secure all liquids…: De minimis non curat lex?
