Naked woman shops at Ballston Spa store

A shopper in Ballston Spa caused quite a bit of commotion when she showed up at two stores in her birthday suit.

The naked woman can be seen in a surveillance photo Curtis Lumber taken Tuesday. Police say it's a picture of Barbara Lafleur of Saratoga Springs. She also apparently made a stop at the Stewart's Shop on East Line Road,

She's just living the dream; the one where you are in public without clothes.

I think clothing should just be optional. In the winter, it's practical. In the heat of summer, it is not.

This area is very near Vermont where it is legal to be nude in public as long as it is not done in a lewd manner. In NY state it is legal for a woman to be topless in any place or situation where a man would be permitted the same option, eg. mowing the lawn.

That's mostly a tanning booth thing. Neither of us have ever been in one but my wife works with young women (like half her age or less) and they'll discuss damn near ANYTHING! Living with me, she's not shocked by much, but when they blurt stuff out about what most people would consider "private matters" - and in front of young children at that - she does come home shaking her head in disbelief. It's a fucking school, not a bar!

She is a lesbian and will give you an unsolicited full detailed account of how important picking the right strap on is while the waitress is taking our lunch order. I love her to death but she can embarrass me at times and that's a pretty good trick.

Shape, size, rigidness, and dog knows what else goes into the design and you have to find the right one for each person to really get the job done right. Who knew?

There are all sorts of meanings for "naked"

The first one (of 12) in the Random House dictionary is: "without clothing or covering; nude"

she loved to dry herself au natural after her bath. Many was the time I would see her darting around the house until I would say out loud 'I see a necked angel'. That would always elicited giggles as she run into her bedroom to put on her pj's.

One evening, while getting out of the bath, I realized my robe was in the bedroom. I decided to make a quick dash to the bedroom as I thought my daughter was occupied. Just as I got to the door I heard a sweet little voice saying 'I see a necked angel' and heard a familiar giggle.

Can't look at painting by Rubens, Rembrandt, etc and not remember.

Nekkidness is normal. Making it seem naughty just corrupts and makes children ashamed of themselves. When my youngest was first starting karate, one of the boys responded to the grand master with, SHE doesn't have a cup! My daughter responded with "I do too. It's yellow." She meant her breakfast drinking cup. My wife explained that the cup the grand master was referring to was to protect boys. A week later, she blurted out. He's got a cup. That means he's got testicles.

We've become a seriously repressed society, but damn that was funny. I remember my grandmother telling me about all of the boys making a "stream" over the porch overhang and she was trying and couldn't. She was crying and one of her older sisters had to explain that there are some biological differences. Children are innocent about such things, not that I can say the same for adults. Frankly, I think the problem with adults is that our society represses the concept of being natural. It makes it naughty and so it becomes so. Not all societies are like that.

As for the paintings you referenced, some of them would be considered "kiddie porn" today.

I really hate to be a grammar flamer, but I just can't let a serious error like this go unchecked.

According to my Bucephelus-Montagnard Hillbilly to English translation dictionary (3rd edition), the correct spelling is nekkid.

She knows what nekkie baby means - it means you just had your bath and you get to get hauled around in a towel until you dry off (or you're hanging out in the front room in your diaper or less). She loves nekkie time, especially since it's been so hot lately.

sweet memories of youth.

I never wanted my daughter to have a bad body image. I am a Nurse and we weren't prudish and we learned the correct names for the body parts...and I have some funny stories to go with that too. It always surprised me the way people freak out when my innocent daughter would use a correct term when describing something. It was like she was a vulgar criminal.

She is now a newly minted college grad in a healthy committed relationship. She sought ME out to ask before becoming sexually active (with her current guy) and we have a very good mother daughter relationship. She has told me that the more she talks to other kids her age, the more she realizes that we got this one right. She is comfortable in her skin so to speak and has her act togather as a human being.

Of having and successfully raising kids is seeing them grow into happy independent humans, and knowing you had a part in that. It gives you a glimpse into the future and when you have grandkids, not only is hope reborn but you can see your past and the future.

Mom'd dad, who she adored, was killed when she was very young. She said she took a lot of comfort in the fact that we had certain of his mannerism.....things that she never displayed, but we did. She said it made her feel like he had never left.
