'Ma'am, are you aware you have no clothes on?
Upstate New York woman busted for naked stroll through lumber store
Cops say naked saunter was 'free expression' stunt
Barbara LaFleur, 49, was arrested in Ballston, N.Y., on Tuesday after she walked through a lumber store and a convenience shop naked An upstate woman came a little unglued and went strolling naked through a lumber shop and a convenience store as if she didn't have a care in the world, police said. Employees at Curtis Lumber in Ballston told the Albany Times Union that Barbara LaFleur, 49, casually chatted up employees and asked what time it was before sauntering out Tuesday. "Have a good day," LaFleur breezily told lumber yard workers, according to the newspaper. The woman then stopped by a nearby Stewart's convenience store, where employees were less than amused by her impromptu peep show. "The manager said 'Ma'am, are you aware you have no clothes on?' She was kosher and cool about it, and the manager told her she needed to leave," a Stewart's employee named Terry told the Times Union. A mental health evaluation found no sign of mental illness, authorities said.

In fact, I often remark on the distinct lack of naked women at our local shopping center.

7. Am I on Candid Camera?
|
Great flick recommendation. Alan Funt's (the originator of Candid Camera in the fifties) made a flick with the same premise. Put people in awkward situations and film them using a hidden camera and microphone. It's title? What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? The iconic bit has a nude woman walking into a crowded elevator.
It's was a risky film for 1970, and caused all sorts of controversy for the ratings systems just coming on the scene in Hollywood. Of course, Funt was merely poking fun at the whole thing. Check it out. Google the title. Also, IMDB. What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? |

Surprisingly, mental health found no psychiatric issues whatsoever’ said a police officer at the Saratoga County Sheriff’s office.

This is your action news reporter, and we're here at the lumber
yard. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened? Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my wood cut, she just appeared out of the nowhere. Come streakin' around the pressure treated wood there, didn't have nothin' on but a smile. I looked in there, and Ethel was gettin' her a cold drink. I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too late. She'd already been mooned. Flashed her right there in front of the plywood. |
