Hello from Shandra and Anne helped too.
            One evening I was sitting up late watching TV. There was a series of programs on sexual topics which I had been watching. This particular program was on exhibitionism and people appearing nude in public. One event they briefly featured was a party held in Sydney, Australia called a Ripper Stripper Party. It didn’t show too much but it captured my attention and imagination. Later we based the opening to this story on my experience.
            There was not too much in the TV program describing how one of these parties would work but it was clear that only a few people entered a contest to get naked. We decided we would have to invent our own party because I wanted everyone to end up naked, not just a few people.
            Because I was already working on a couple of other stories Anne took over the project but she didn’t get too far with the story until we all went away camping. (See Brian's Page for more on our nude camping trip.) We then began to work on ideas until Anne ended up with a pile of different ideas written out on paper.

            The first thing was to work out how this evening might go. We came up with the idea of having a mix of professional acts and contests for members of the audience. From that point, we began building a plan for the evening hour by hour. But as I said above, my idea was for everyone to end up naked so we were trying to decide how to do this. The best way was for people to remove more and more of their clothing as the night went on. That was where the step-by-step undressing came from.
            We worked with the idea of having professional strippers doing themed acts dressed as a cowboy, little Bow Peep, a Roman soldier etc. This got us thinking about how each of these acts might go. One of my favourites is the act put on by the Roman soldier where he asks two girls from the audience to help him. He ends up getting naked of course but he also gets both of them naked as well.
            Then we had the contests where members of the audience competed for prizes. Notice how these got sexier as the evening progressed. We think these contests would have given many in the room the chance to get into some things they would have never normally dared to do.

            One of the first highlights of the evening was the joint strip by Shanti and Mike. This was my idea which was always a part of the idea of the Ripper Stripper Party. At one point I considered Jenny and Peter doing it too. We even them swapping partners and both pairs doing it but finally, we left it with just Shanti and Mike entering this contest. I didn't want to push things too fast.
            After Reshma had shown us how a sari strip would go (see below) Brian and Susan suggested that Anne and Allan show us how a couple’s strip would go. They got dressed and did that. First, they tried undressing together but that didn’t look good. Reshma then suggested that they take each other’s clothes off, taking turns to remove an item. This worked really well and so that was how Mike and Shanti did it in the story.

            One of the best scenes in this story was going to be Shanti’s strip dance, an idea which came from my sister Reshma. As Allan told you last week my younger sister Reshma had joined us for this holiday. At first, I was a bit unsure about taking her but once my parents caught on to the idea we really had no choice. Anyway, she said she was OK with the nudity and by the second day was even joining us like that herself.
            A few days into the holiday we had worked out a rough list of the many contests and competitions which would be held at this party. One was a single strip done by one person at a time. It was Reshma that suggested that since the girls in the story were Indian then maybe there should be a strip from a sari.
            Allan asked her to explain more about how this would work so Reshma was describing how a sari strip would go. I hardly ever wear a sari but Reshma often does. She actually came on the trip in one which sort of surprised all of us. Anyway, as she was telling us how this would work Brian (Susan’s boyfriend) suggested that she could show us with the sari she wore the first day. Reshma got a funny smile on her face. I think part nervous and I think part cheeky too. Then to my surprise, she actually agreed to do it. I could not believe my little sister would actually do this. She went to her tent and in a few minutes arrived back fully dressed in her sari.
            I know we had all seen her naked over the past few days but doing a strip-tease was a lot sexier. I had found some Indian music and while I played it Reshma began to dance. She is a very good dancer and put on a good show as she slowly removed her clothing to the music. (See the background of Letter 36 for more on this.)
            The way she did this is how we wrote it for our story. Then the problem came up of Shanti entering two contests, one after another. Since Shanti never wore a sari anyway, we decided that it was better that she did the couple strip with Mike. The story about the sari strip was put aside and kept as a feature for the second Ripper Stripper Party which we were already planning for when Joseph and Lizamoa visited New Zealand. This sari strip eventually appeared in Letter 36.
            Sorry Reshma, I know you were expecting to read about your special performance here but you will need to wait a few more months.

            It is hard to remember where every piece of this story came from as during the holiday as ideas were added, removed, improved and modified, in some cases several times.
            When she got home, Anne had a list of all the stories we were going to use with some linking notes between them so she typed each of the idea stories onto her computer and then she was quickly able to work these into one continuous story. After Allan, Susan and I had done a bit of work in various places we had the story which we have posted here.

            Kia Kaka - Kia Kaha.
                  Be safe - Be strong.
                        Anne, Allan, Shandra and Susan.
