DAIRY STUDIO WALL OF ART 2007 IN AID OF MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE This disease is devastating for all those involved; MND is a progressive, fatal condition that causes muscle wastage: It is fairly rare and unfortunately there is currently no cure, and most people with MND die from it within a few years. If you didn’t make it to Dairy Studio’s WALL of ART post card size art sale last September, then make sure you donate a card and come to the event this September 1 st Its fun, lively and all proceeds go to MND families in Lewes. Please start thinking about donating a post card size piece of art again this year: Contact Susie Monnington on 01273 858438 or 07790556420. Details are on the newsletter page at: www.dairystudio-artcourses.co.uk
Pepper’s Revolt Marina grins and bares it The pretty activist cleared her throat and continued: “So we were wondering, would you take part in the naked bike ride?” Tricky moment. Obviously I, like her, long for a system of spatial planning that sees our towns and cities transformed into pedestrian/cyclist friendly community utopias where we happily live work and play with no need of motor cars. Failing that, a few decent bike lanes and a more integrated transport system would suffice. My immediate thoughts, however, were these: Leaning over handle bars is not the best angle for my bits. Just wearing a bra would look a bit silly. Could I procure matching undies from Oyster Lingerie in Lewes? Stevie (said shop owner) has, after all, sold me the best bra of my life, lifting and separating in ways I never thought possible for a double J fitting. But is it right, my thoughts continued, as an anti-capitalist climate-change activist to spend more on my undies than the bike itself? Could I get away with a bikini? Is cycling while wearing a bikini that controversial in a seaside town? Noticing I’d gone quiet, the bike ride organiser continued: “You don’t have to go naked. The idea is to go as bare as you dare.” Daring in that department has never been an issue. For me, outcomes are all - that’s what W W W. V i V a l E W E S . C o M W W W. V i V a l E W E S . C o M four years as a councillor does to you. Could the sight of my swinging mammaries inspire people to trade their car in for a bike? Could my pert bottom and toned thighs - or indeed anyone else’s - persuade people to cut up their supermarket loyalty cards and order an organic veggie box? “The thing is,” I replied, after some time. “I’ve already promised my inaugural naked protest to the anti-incinerator lobby. “Over my naked woad-painted body,” I’d said when the waste local plan fingered Newhaven for a burner. “On a horse, probably.” My mind was off again. Sitting trot, rising trot or canter? Without under-wire support a gallop might make best use of centrifugal forces. Tom Paine said: “We have the power to build the world anew.” The naked bike ride protest shares this sentiment. However, the event was deemed a success merely because there were no arrests. My housemate, meanwhile informs me her workmates missed the environmental message. They were however keen to report on the variously sized appendages and protuberances whizzing past. We might have the power, Tom, but I fear all of us are still groping for it. V C o l u M n 1
