women reading aloud various books, poems and novels to
listeners who pay a small fee for it.
Naked Girls Reading was founded in Chicago by burlesque
artist Michelle L'amour and her partner Franky Vivid. After
starting out there, Naked Girls Reading franchises have made
their way around the world.
The audience is made up of couples, groups of friends and a
few people who come by themselves and for a small fee, the
listeners get to relax, absorb the story and even join in with
discussions mid-reading but they're not required to join in and
remove their clothes.
Head Naked Girl Sophia St. Villier, who has been running the
London branch since its inception in March 2011 said, "It's
great because this show pushes and inspires me to read some
incredible literature - it's so easy to just read articles online or
trashy magazines. 'I love that we read proper books. Naked
Girls Reading is an electronic reader-free zone. 'The show is
around 2.5 hours long with two 10-minute breaks. People
normally sip a glass of wine or a cocktail while they listen to
the readings. I have a decadent show planned for the future
where wine, chocolate and cognac is matched to stories.
"We have audience members that come to each show - they
must love the literature, as they've already seen us naked!
With burlesque shows, the audience is roughly 70 per cent
women, 30 per cent men. For Naked Girls Reading, it's
around 50 per cent women and 50 per cent men."
How would you love having someone read to you naked?
