Brrrr...

Sometimes Real Life outdoes Second Life ...

Cancer Research UK, the UK charity and support organization equivalent to the American Cancer Society, launched its Race For Life recently with a naked training session. Twenty-eight women bared nearly_but_not_quite_all to run in Regents Park, London.

I really am not kidding. To view the plain truth, covered only with strategically situated body paint, see:

Nudity is a great leveller. And this event must have been quite an attention-catcher, not least because it is really VERY cold in Regents Park in the winter (I should know, I used to live quite near there).

It's been rumored that CRUK may soon establish an official presence in SL, alongside the American Cancer Society and the Association for International Cancer Research. Well, CRUK certainly knows how to make an impact, so we'd all better watch out when they come on in ...
