naked as we came

It took months of intensive brainstorming, but I think we've finally found a fad suitable for the recession: streaking. Yup. It costs no money at all to get started and in fact if you exchange all your clothes at Wal Mart, you could actually make a profit. Girlfriend, don't even act like your broke ass ain't done that before.

The Brooklyn dance duo, Matt and Kim, seem to have answered Will Ferrell's rally for going streaking and it only took them six years. Good thing, too, because they found the perfect spot: Times Square in the dead of winter. They filmed the whole thing for their music video of "Lessons Learned". Check it out:



It's all real, except maybe the ending. Just a hunch. Apparently they told onlookers they were making a mayonnaise ad, of all things. If this is 2009's "Thank You" video from Alanis Morissette, than the French (of course) had to make a sexy version, a la D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel?)". Here is Make The Girl Dance's video of "Baby Baby Baby":

I think it wins for Best Children's Karaoke Toy Ad. EVER. Can't say much about the song though.

What I have learned from these two videos is that my calling is to go streaking in London. Here's why: When it comes to the biggest cities in the west, we've already covered New York and Paris. All that's left is London and I'm relatively close for another two months. The other qualification is that you have to look like you need a sandwhich REAL BAD. Check. (although I will give props to Kim, who looks like she could kick my ass). Now I just need a dancey song to groove to. I'm thinking "Totally Nude" by Talking Heads would be fun and appropriate.

If anyone else is interested, we need to jump on this bandwagon ASAP. If you want to bring a childhood toy along too, that'd be okay.
