Kari
"Good evening, I'm Kari Strider, coming to you all week long from Brazen Bend in this KRTV exclusive, and this week you're sure to see more of this town, it's secrets, and, well, more of me than anyone has ever seen! Tune in at 5."
I nailed it on the first try, it only took one take. Ray nodded his approval and started packing up the camera and tripod, so we could head to the first meeting of the day.
And just like that, I was walking out of visitors dormitory. I was totally naked, outdoors and in public, with my boss and a college kid.
We had about a quarter mile walk to our first meeting, allowing me to take stock of my body's reactions and try to calm down. My heart rate was through the roof. I was covered in goosebumps and embarrassingly, my nipples were hard. I wouldn't say I was aroused but I was excited. I tried to tell myself I was cold, but this was the first of many white lies I'd tell myself on this warm September morning. I constantly had to fight the urge to cover myself with my arms, reminding myself to try to walk casually with my arms by my sides. It wasn't easy.
Craig still walked behind me and I could almost feel his eyes memorizing his view of my backside. Ray walked in front of me but he's just had the opportunity to take in the full frontal view as he filmed my teaser promo. I'd refrained from looking at my coworker's penises so far, which I realized would not be sustainable for a whole week. But I was a married woman and intended to be as professional as possible despite the circumstances. I did, however find myself absentmindedly appreciating Ray's toned calves and butt as he strode confidently ahead. I was married, but not dead. Gosh, Jeff would die if he saw this. He was always jealous of Ray.
At that moment I realized Ray had looked over his shoulder to ask me a question. Shit, did he see me looking at his ass? I blushed a deep red that was probably even more evident on the pale tanlines at my breasts than on my face. I saw Ray glance inadvertently at said tanlines but he quickly caught himself and met my eye. I blushed even more deeply, wondering if he'd noticed my hard nipples. I felt excited little tingle in my belly. "Get control of yourself," I thought.
"Kari, you got all the info and background you need for your interview with the chief lady? If so I'm gonna go film some footage for our teaser spot." His tone told me he was repeating himself and I'd missed his initial question in my daze.
"Yeah, of course," I said, trying to compose myself.
We were headed to meet Jade Stormfeather, Chiefess of Brazen Bend. She was one of the last remaining Native Americans in Brazen Bend, and her family had been the leaders of the community for 150 years. The plan was to speak with her a while for background information about the town and then interview her on camera for the piece.
I guess I expected to find a wizened old wrinkled lady, but was shocked to find a slender and beautiful woman who was only a few years older than me. Her breasts were small but perky, and she had almost no butt on her 5'8" frame. I'm 5'2" and she towered over me. She was friendly but still incredibly intimidating. I noticed she wore a purple band on her arm, whereas most actual citizens of Brazen Bend wore no band at all. Must be some kind of leadership designation, I thought.
She led us to a private cabana by a large pool area. On our way around the pool area, we noticed both residents and outsiders lounging around the pool. A group of hungover looking girls about my age were in the first cabana we'd passed on the way to this one. I assumed this the group of bachelorette partygoers we'd seen last night. The next group of naked women was much more energetic- drinking and carrying on loudly- they must gave just arrived this morning. They all looked to be about 40. One of them wore a sash that said, "Free at last." Newly divorced party, I guessed.
"Hey! You're on TV! TV lady!" yelled a fit, pretty blond woman in her early 40's. The C-section scar on her belly marked her as a mom. I was shocked at being recognized in my first few minutes in this nude community. I reflexively covered myself. "Hello," was all I could think to say. I noticed a wedding band and diamond on her finger. She saw me noticing it, and smiled. "Hey don't judge me. I'm just here to support my friend, and to see a few big dicks. I still get a thrill when they get a boner looking at me. Don't tell my husband that last part. Actually make sure I don't get on TV at all. He thinks I'm in Florida."
I smiled and kept moving. When we arrived at Jade's tent, she welcomed us in, shaking our hands and motioning for us to sit. I was impressed with her right away. She was professional, mature, and sharp, certainly not the ditsy hippie I expected. After introducing ourselves, Jade said, "before you start your questions, how about I give a few ground rules about town." We nodded our agreement. Ray, who had been briefed on the rules, excused himself to shoot some B-roll footage and find a location for the on camera interview with Jade.
"First," she said, there is a strict law here prohibiting the filming of our residents or visitors and distributing it to the outside world. Obviously we've made an exception to this for you, with two conditions. One is that you edit it to blur genitals and women's breasts, and the other is that you give us the right to view and remove any footage we see fit before airing it.
Second, as you know, as visitors you are to be completely nude at all times, and to wear your red band at all times. We all nodded.
"Third, we do not ask you to refrain from sexual activity here, but sexual acts are strictly prohibited in public. There are private rooms around town marked "Conjugal" for sexual activity. These rooms are cleaned frequently."
"I'm married," I interjected, "so no issue there."
Jade smiled politely and continued, "Also, a male's visible arousal is natural and not punishable, provided he removes himself from public until visible signs of arousal have ceased. For example, your camera man here will have to remove himself."
Horrified, I turned to look at Craig, who looked equally mortified. I'd avoided looking so far, but now I did. He was indeed fully erect, and I had to admit had a nice penis. He had a full inch at least on Jeff. Why was I mentally comparing?
"I- uh, where do I go?" Craig asked.
Jade smiled and pointed to a small building in the corner of the pool area, and Craig scuffled that direction.
"Sorry about that," I said.
"No worries, as I said, it's natural," Jade replied. "Anyway, you'll be asked to sign some papers acknowledging the rules we've gone over before we continue."
A pretty secretary who looked no more than 18 appeared and presented the papers, which were marked in several places to sign. "Take as long as you need to read them, but I only have an hour to meet with you today."
I knew I should have Ray take a look at these but given the time constraint I just skimmed them and signed. By the last few pages, I was just signing without even reading. The whole thing took 5 minutes.
Over the next 20 minutes, I asked Jade many rapid fire questions. I was taken with her candor and honesty.
I learned that the town had 3 major revenue streams. The university, tourism, and a fertility clinic. These were the things that kept the town alive. All were made possible by their status as a Native American reservation, both due to a lack of regulation, and more importantly, exemption from taxation. With the Native American population admittedly waning, there were some in the capitol making noise about scrutinizing that status.
