Ashley Dupre, the "high class escort" whose DC rendez-vous with Eliot Spitzer meant the end of his governorship, is "tired and sick" right now but she's damn proud of her Playboy pictorial (she's the May covergirl). Dupre writes on her blog, "Posing for Playboy gave me the opportunity to regain a sense of control. These aren’t photos I texted to someone. They’re not stupid mistakes I made years ago. These photos are done beautifully. I’m very happy with them and I am happy and honored to be a part of the Playboy family." more ›

The No Pants Subway Ride is for pussies (no pun intended)... the real Improv Everywhere enthusiasts are all about the No Underwear Subway Ride. Head exhibitionist Charlie Todd says for their latest mission "over 1,000 people rode the subway without underwear or pants... we decided it was time to up the ante. Riders spread out over four different subway lines to surprise and delight everyday New Yorkers riding the train." more ›

A one-legged woman wearing only black panties was discovered yesterday afternoon on the tracks of the N train in Besnonhurst. "I heard one of the workers screaming on the radio, 'A woman's body on the tracks!'" said Matt Bencivenga, a dispatcher for a car service company nearby. "She was all mangled." According to the News, her prosthetic leg was found nearby around 3:40 p.m., 100 feet from the Kings Highway station. Authorities think impact of the train knocked it off, and also severed her hand; investigators suspect the cause of the death may be a suicide. more ›

Warning: most of this gallery is NSFW! So of course that means someone got naked in the name of art, and it's making museum-goers a little uncomfortable. The Marina Abramović restrospective, which traces the artist's prolific career, only just opened at the MoMA yesterday and it's already offending people! The artist isn't scared to show a little skin, nothing new there, but one part of the installation has patrons squeezing through two naked performers. Awkward. However, the Yugoslavian-born performance artist wouldn't be doing her job if she didn't make her audience experience something they haven't before, no? more ›

An art gallery in Greenwich Village has been forced to discontinue a live performance installation featuring a naked woman in the front window. The installation, part of an exhibit of work by artist Brian Reed, was covered on NY1 last night, but by today the free show was over. According to Chair and Maiden gallery's Twitter page, the installation, which featured a woman standing in a net made out of shark eggs, beads and clay pipes, was "taken down by NYPD for public lewdness." Gee, and here we thought cops loved seeing breasts! more ›

Jersey Shore's Snooki was given another makeunder recently, but let's face facts: pantsuits will not get you ca$h money. But taking off your clothes might! Radar reports that she may be following in cast mate J-WOWW's footsteps as rumors swirl that she's shopping around nude photos and video of herself. Snookers allegedly took the shots herself in her bedroom—and the site reports that at least one photo is "too raunchy to describe." Snickers! The reality starlet denied it all on Twitter, calling Radar "weirdos"—but time, and the inevitable leaked photos prior to Season 2 airing, will tell. more ›

You can take the orgy out of the Calvin Klein billboard, but you'll still be left with a one-man sex show. The latest image in the company's rotating ad space above Houston Street is pictured above, and Copyranter reports back saying, "His name is David Agbodji, and he's part of the new Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2010 Collection ad campaign... I'm thinking five-story Mr Agbodji is going to light up the switchboard!" But this man is neither under-aged nor involved in an orgy with anyone under-aged... so maybe the downtown prudes will give it a pass? more ›

Jersey Shore castmember J-WOWW, who designs tops that leave nothing left to the imagination, is unsurprisingly the first to go the fully monty for a little bit of cash. According to the Daily News, photos of Jenni Farley in her totally tanned birthday suit are being shopped around right now; the paper specifies, "there are at least three nude photos" which "show Farley wearing a pair of boots, a skimpy wrap around her waist and nothing else." more ›

We all know PETA loves to drape naked ladies all over their billboards. But lately, has it gotten a little bit out of hand? Today we got a press release pointing us to a fully naked "State of Union Undress," which features a vegetarian PETA member performing a sultry striptease in front of an American flag. And she's like, all the way naked. You can watch it here — there's even a SFW version. more ›

We all love Jersey Shore... but do we love it enough to see it naked? Well, ready or not, 27-year-old cast member Pauly D is ready to take it all off — in fact, he's meeting with Playgirl magazine this week to discuss money, and promised to go full-frontal (showing off his pierced manhood). He told E! Online: "I'm not shy." Well look at you. The reality star also commented on advertisers being scared off by the controversy surrounding the show, saying, "If I were an advertiser, I'd want to advertise during the show. It's almost like advertising on the Super Bowl." You know what they say about men with big egos... more ›

Demonstrators have promised to ride bikes down Bedford Avenue naked this evening to protest the recent removal of a bicycle lane amidst mounting pressure from South Williamsburg's Hasidic community. But will the so-called "Freedom Ride" actually happen? more ›

An unidentified male cop in the notorious Brooklyn South Narcotics unit allegedly took personal photos of a female drug suspect during multiple, unauthorized strip searches. Claudia Bova, 23, was arrested in a Coney Island drug sweep in June 2007, and taken to a building in downtown Brooklyn for booking. The officer allegedly told Bova he would have to perform a body search because there were no female officers available, in violation of an NYPD policy prohibiting cross-gender searches. Bova claims he led her to the bathroom and ordered her to lift up her shirt, "shake out her bra" and pull down her pants, according to court papers obtained by the Daily News. But it didn't end there! more ›

After a demonstration last weekend drew more police officers than protesters, cycling activists will rally again to show their support for the Bedford Avenue bike lane — but this time they'll do it in less clothing. more ›

So, this guy is running around town with nothing but a well-placed fanny pack. Little is known about the mysterious ("world's fastest") nudist, but FreeWilliamsburg points out that he is making a documentary (that will hopefully never hit the big screen). He also updates daily on his Twitter and website the Daily Nude, so you can appropriately avoid or stalk him. more ›

"A woman standing on a Manhattan subway platform with her pants down bit a New York City police officer in the back, police said Thursday." more ›

This just in: people are still showing off their naughty bits at the Standard. Last week a reader spotted some flesh at the hotel, just two minutes in to a walk on the High Line. They ask: "Guy or girl?" more ›

Would you get naked for all of New York? Time Out NY got 7 locals to take it off, and now 32 more want to do it. You can vote online, but wouldn't you be a little freaked out to see that your 41-year-old anesthesiologist has a hankering to strip down and hook himself up to a Propofol drip? more ›

After a week of hearing all about these exhibitionists at the Standard Hotel, someone has finally sent us an image. See a much larger version here, and try to guess what's actually happening in this hotel room. Or don't. As Vanishing NY points out, city living has always offered glimpses into stranger's lives; two years ago HBO projected this on the side of a LES building, and before that we had films like Rear Window. The site points out that the Standard's management has created the dullest version of a voyeuristic experience, and "In his direction, the luxury hotelier lacks the depth and nuance of Hitchcock." It's true, but what does one expect from André Balazs? Maybe the residents at the Hotel Chelsea should create an artier version of this. more ›

Zach Hyman's latest nude subject is stealing the headlines from him. Today the NY Post talks to the 26-year-old Kathleen Neill, who was charged with public lewdness when she stripped down in the Metropolitan Museum's Hall of Arms and Armor. She wants the prudes in this town to lighten up, and told the paper, "I want people to have the freedom to express themselves. I want the city to drop the charges. I would love to be able to go to museums and see stuff like this happen on any scale." Since it's already legal for women to walk around topless in New York, maybe next year's topless march should focus on the full monty. more ›

Not too long ago there was some pole dancing for arts sake on the L train. Well, yesterday photographer Zach Hyman (he's like the one-model-at-a-time version of Spencer Tunick) brought his nude subject to a museum. Surprisingly, it seems the MTA is cooler with the naked human form than the Met is! more ›

The naked truth about the Standard Hotel originally broke on Curbed in early July, and now it's made it all the way to the desk of Brian Williams after getting daily coverage in the New York papers this week. more ›

The Standard is casting more than just a shadow over the High Line, its guests are giving park-goers a full-on peep show. The NY Post reports that many go beyond showing off their naughty bits to passerby—they also have sex, masturbate and even film professional pornos. Heavens to Murgatroyd! Who will save the children? Not hotel management. more ›

The Bronx man who was arrested Tuesday after going full monty during a flight bound from Charlotte to L.A. wasn't doing it to freak out the squares; he happens to be bipolar. Authorities have identified the U.S. Airways passenger as Keith Wright, a Navy veteran, and his wife Debra tells the Daily News that Keith left their Bronx home Tuesday without telling her, after spending days not eating or sleeping: "When I came home from work he wasn't around. Next thing I know I get a call from a FBI officer. That is when I knew." more ›

An unidentified man from the boogie down Bronx just streaked half of America! The 50-year-old became naked as a jaybird for no apparent reason during a US Airways flight last night. One passenger says the 50-year-old appeared to fall asleep, but then started taking his clothes off. (Could a bad Ambien reaction be involved?) He refused to cooperate with flight attendants and threw off a blanket that was placed over him. Is it some kind of crime to fly au naturale? Probably, right? An off-duty police officer on board helped restrain the man, and the flight, which originated in Charlotte and was bound for LA, made a pit stop in Albuquerque to eject the mile-high streaker. WABC 7 says he may be transported "to an FBI facility. He will likely be taken to a local detention center in the meantime." Meanwhile, everyone who landed in California will be enjoying life naked in a hot tub. more ›

Okay, not really. But Flavorwire tagged along with Spencer Tunick to get a close-up look at the nakedest beach party in the Hamptons (surely it was fun getting all that sand off at the end of the day). The photographer set the scene for his latest nude project before dawn in Montauk, and the site reported back: "Tunick went through the setups he’d be arranging for the shoot, including a horrific-sounding pose called 'The Crab.' The group of 300 or so then trekked down to the beachfront, nestled between high cliffs and the picturesque Montauk Lighthouse, for more waiting. Once dawn arrived and the clouds broke, everyone stripped down and picked their way across the rocky beach to take position." And that's how the magic happens. more ›

Like the Facebook event page says: "Here it is finally. New York City will officially be joining in with thousands of cyclists around the world for the World Naked Bike Ride." Yes, finally. The event will take place with New York City’s inaugural nudist roll out (Critical Ass?). "Bicyclists in dozens of cities around the country and northern hemisphere will bicycle in the buff to 'stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions.'" Now this is important: the ride begins at 5 p.m. at West 23rd Street between 11th and 12th Avenues, departure is around 6:30 p.m. on an, as of now, secret route (hopefully nowhere near South Williamsburg). No one will be excluded, there's been some mention of bodypaint. If you get photos, tag them with "Gothamist" on flickr! Or not! Use your best judgment, we can't decide. more ›

Last night, a man took of his clothes and streaked across Citi Field during the Mets-Braves game's fifth inning. This morning, the Post suggests it was "maybe the best base running of the night" while the Daily News identifies the "nearly-naked doofus" with "only a stuffed animal wrapped like a thong around the middle of his strike zone for modesty" as Craig Coakley. more ›

Move over Naked Cowboy! Brooklyn darlings Matt & Kim gave the entertainer a run for his money by stripping all the way down while shooting their new video in Times Square. The 20-somethings released their "Lessons Learned" video last week, where you can see them shed their clothes and catch the eyes of locals and tourists alike. (The naughty bits are blurred out, so it's SFW, prudes.) more ›

We've already seen the Borat speedo marathon get up--but a new video shows Steve Guttenberg, of Police Academy fame, upping the ante in revealing running gear. NYMag notes that he's "clearly in on the gag," but 1 minute and 44 seconds of a pantless Guttenberg running and stretching in Central Park is the end result none-the-less (consider that a warning). more ›
