Seattle Plastic Surgeon and mother of a 14 year old daughter implores the naked cyclist at the Fremont Summer Solstice Fair to put a fig leaf on it.
I have been attending the Fremont Summer Solstice Fair for many years. I live just a few blocks away from Fremont, the self designated “Center of the Universe”. The fair is a fun and funky and freaky celebration of Seattle’s short but wonderful summer and just about anything goes. But this year, either I’m getting old and cranky or maybe the anything goes has gone too far.
Saturday’s parade has for years included a posse of nude cyclists who seem to appear from nowhere, weave through the parade and crowds and then disappear. And we all cheer for their naughtiness. But this year, after the parade, many of the cyclists just hung out, really hung out with nary a loin cloth. I felt like I was in a urology clinic. My daughter was having a hard time knowing where to look because everywhere she looked, there was another one.
So dudes, next year make sure you look for me. I will be the middle aged lady handing out free fig leaves for those of you who forgot yours.
