Seattle Loves To Be Naked

Seattle is full of people who don't care what anyone else thinks. I really admire that. However, I'm still a little shocked by what I see now and then. About a month after I moved here I heard about the Naked Fremont Riders. A part of me didn't really believe they could exist until I saw at least 30 people on bycicles riding through downtown fully "hanging" out if you know what I mean. Needless to say I was a little shocked..but hey it's Fremont.

So yesterday I was in my boss' office discussing some payroll issues. Whenever I'm in her office I tend to look out the window. I really can't help myself, you have the Space Needle right there, old fashioned brick apartments etc. Well low and behold, there is a naked man standing right in front of one of the apartment windows. Full frontal just hanging out with his hands on his hips. I thought it was a manaquin until he started moving. I instantly started blushing and put my head down saying, "Oh my God there is a naked man standing right there, I can't look up." Now let's keep in mind this is my boss. If I was with friends it may not have been as embarrassing. Of course we shared a good laugh and couldn't believe how clear he appeared. He had to be right up against the glass. So a few mins go by and he walks away and soon a woman is standing naked in front of the same window! She ends up opening the window and hanging out of it for a bit. Let me just say, it was a cold day yesterday, I could see someone doing that if this was California but it's jacket weather. They basically were in front of this window randomly all day. Must be nice to not be at work.I talked to a few co-workers about it and all kinds of stories came out about things that have been seen in surrounding apartment bulidings. I mean clearly this couple wanted to be seen. But isn't the joy of exposing yourself, the reaction you get from those who see? I mean our windows at work are tinted, I know they can't see that we can see them and quite honestly, most people who have a window office are not facing it the window. But I guess there was a girl who lived in a different apartment who every day would get dressed sometime in the afternoon in front of her window. Let me just say, my blinds are closed ALL THE TIME. I can't imagine thinking that someone can't see especially if i lived near a business. Anyways to top it off, her mirror was right there and she'd be checking herself out in the mirror for all to see. What I've been told is this tends to happen a lot more as it starts to get warmer. Might I add it was HOT in Sacramento, and people still didn't hang out naked in front of their windows or outside. Personally, I'm too shy to ever be into public nudity and I believe it should be kept sacred. Did I move to Europe and not know about it?
