If you lack both funds and inhibitions, you’re in luck, because the Red Light is gearing up for their annual Co-Ed Naked Shopping Spree on February 21, wherein four contestants (two male, two female) will be unleashed butt naked in the vintage superstore, where they have three minutes to run through the store putting on as much clothing as possible. Whoever piles on the most items wins all the clothing on their back plus a $100 GC. Feeling lucky? Join the more than 60 people so far who’ve spent $20 or more at the store by February 12th to be entered in the random drawing that determines who the lucky contestants will be. Alternately just come by the store to gawk and cheer them on. The nudity starts at 5 pm, but live music and door prizes and general kickin’ it starts at 2.

  1. Damnit. I don’t know what “buck naked” means – and it’s never made any sense to me. “Butt naked” makes sense! Your body is exposed enough to show your butt; you’re butt naked. What the hell is a buck? Is that a reference to a deer?

    I was happy to see you type it like that. Together, we can put some sense into this crazy world.

  2. Thanks Reymont.

    I feel like butt is an acceptable thing to say in a lot of contexts, and so I wasn’t expecting us to need a soft version of it.
