Robin Arcuri will be making a point, or a few, downtown at noon as does bares all (well, most) for PETA.
I don’t know what your lunch plans are, but you may wanna change ’em–if, that is, you wanna see a naked Playboy model gallivanting about Pegasus Plaza, at the corner of Akard and Main streets. From noon till 1 p.m. today Robin Arcuri will be out in the city streets protesting Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which is pitching its tent at the American Airlines Center July 26 to August 6. According to a release sent out by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (that’s PETA to you), Arcuri will be clad in “nothing but shackles and covered in ‘scars’ as a result of violent ‘beatings’–an everyday reality for animals in circuses.” PETA’s all about barin’ it all these days; not sure what they’re accomplishing with the Running of the Nudes through the streets of Pamplona, but I like it. Says the model-actress-professional-naked-girl (by the way, that link ain’t exactly office-space friendly) in the PETA release, “I’m here to expose what the circus is so desperate to hide from the public,” says Robin. That’s very, very noble of her. –Robert Wilonsky
