Naked Girls Reading to Offer SUMMER READING, 6/18

Grab a book and head to the beach with New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY), as Naked Girls Reading presents SUMMER READING! Join your favorite naked readers as they share selections from the New York Public Library's Summer Reading lists - and find out what they're reading in the buff north of the border, as special Canadian guest Bianca Boom Boom brings her summer reading picks from the Toronto Public Library, too!

Host Nasty Canasta is joined by Hazel Honeysuckle, Miss Mary Cyn, brand-spanking-new Naked Girl Nina La Voix and very special guest Bianca Boom Boom (Toronto) for Naked Girls Reading SUMMER READING. Whether you'll be vacationing in exotic locations or just riding the F train out to Coney Island, the Naked Girls will make sure you have plenty to read this summer!

Naked Girls Reading is the perfect unique live event: a monthly nude literary salon featuring 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.
