Oregonian (Oregonite? Oregonese?) woman Jen Moss is pissed because people just don’t understand her need to bicycle around topless and are prohibiting her from riding in the Fourth of July parade. According to the AP, Moss is known for riding her bike “free and independent of all clothing but a hemp G-string”. In fact, she’s known as “The Naked Lady”.
I get the naked part (let the girls get some air), but the hemp G-string sounds questionable at best. You know, back in the day aka 8th grade, I was quite good at making hemp necklaces with cool beads and whatnot. I gave them as gifts to my friends. Maybe now since our tastes have matured, I can make them all hemp G-strings with cute little beads! AHHH! But back to business.
The Ashland Chamber of Commerce is in a battle right now over this. In Moss’ application she said she wants to lead a group of rollerbladers in her hemp booty floss, “blowing a conch shell.” Blowing what wearing what? Errr… Whatev, she sounds like an inspirational leader (those rollerbladers are bound to follow her, along with every creepy man within 50 miles) and America is all about leadership!
Clearly she is a great patriot and loves America. Come on people, it’s the Fourth of July. It’s not like your children haven’t seen boobs before. Let Jen parade!

Nothing but a hemp colored thong. Sounds like my type of woman.

I don’t have anything against nudity,but unfortunately I’m not on the Ashland Council.All Ms. Moss is going to accomplish is to get an antinudity ordinance passed in Ashland.She needs to be satisfied with the 364 days she can ride topless and forget about the parade.That’s all they’re asking.That doesn’t seem like a lot.

[...] But honestly, it’s good to hear she’s alright. Her story could have ended tragically, but she was resourceful. This just goes to show that bras can save lives. Maybe somebody should pass this along to Jen Moss? [...]

[...] Jen Moss must be loving life right now. On Saturday, dozens, perhaps hundreds of bike riders rode the streets of St. Louis as naked as they dared. The World Naked Bike Ride (careful if you’re at work, there is nudity on the web site) protests the cost of oil. And let’s face it, it’s an excuse to ride around on your bicycle nakey. According to eyewitnesses, lots of boobs and thongs. Good times. Oh, and to make it even better, the 10 mile ride ended at a bar. GOOD PLANNING! [...]

[...] Remember Jennifer Moss? I wrote about her a few months ago. She was the lady who just wanted to patriotically parade in Oregon on Independence Day riding a bike, sans clothing? Ahh, now you remember. Well, she did have a hemp g-string…so she wasn’t totally nakey. Sheeeeeeeee’s back! And this time around, her name is being spelled by the press with a G. So she’s Gennifer Moss. No word on how that happened. [...]
