   What about Cicciolina?  The porn star who exposes one of her breasts every
time she has a photo op?  I'm not sure if she's still in the IP or not, but I
think she was the one who started the "Party of Love".  One of her main
platforms was to make sex permissible in public, especially in parks.  She also
recently married a famous artist who does nude photography and sculptures of
her and of the two of them having sex, raising that whole "art vs. pornography"
issue again.  If you're still not sure who I'm talking about, check out the
latest U2 video for "Even Better Than the Real Thing".  It has lots of shots of
her and some of the photography and sculptures.
