Naked Girls Reading to Present SMORGASBORD, 4/16

It's readers' choice at New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY), as Naked Girls Reading presents SMÖRGÅSBORD! Join some of of our favorite Naked Girls as they present a buffet of their most beloved books ever: from classics to contemporary fiction, children's literature to poetry, scripts, lyrics and more - anything goes!

Find out what the Naked Girls curl up with, and just what makes these books such favorites! Host Nasty Canasta and readers Creamy Stevens, Gal Friday and Sapphire Jones will share the literature they love to love at Naked Girls Reading SMÖRGÅSBORD! Second helpings are encouraged.

Naked Girls Reading is the perfect unique live event: a monthly nude literary salon featuring in-the-buff readings by local burlesque luminaries, professional librarians, authors and other Naked Girls. Past themes have included Banned Books, Science Fiction and Tween Lit, as well as their annual holiday presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Guests to the salon are invited to sip a drink and listen with their eyes wide open as full-frontal literature meets fine art in the intimate theatrical setting of Under St. Marks.

Naked Girls Reading is on the third Wednesday of every month at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1st Ave and Ave A) at 9pm. Tickets ($25; 2 for $40) may be purchased online at www.NakedGirlsReadingNYC.com or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444. Seating is limited to 45; advance tickets are strongly recommended.
