Colombia: Butt-naked in Bogota

Humberto de la Calle, the Colombian government’s chief negotiator in the FARC “peace” talks, has an article in the WSJ,

De la Calle is missing the bare essentials: In the spirit of transparency, I urge my readers to send me links to any drafts of the agreement(s) so far, since I have not been able to find any.

Spencer Tunick gets down to bare essentials in Bogotá. The American photographer gathers together more than 6,000 people, who braved the cold in the Colombian capital for a nude group shot

More than 6,000 people gathered in downtown Bogotá in the early hours of Sunday morning to take part in a project by Spencer Tunick. Not only did the American photographer persuade the multitude to pose nude for a group photo but he also got Colombians out on the streets as early as 2am in order to take part, despite the low temperatures in the capital.

Tunick’s next stunt will have him “install” 100 naked women to greet Donald Trump to the RNC.
