Here's an interesting one: The human zoo. And we're not talking about a new Weston window at Selfridges, either.

For those of you who haven't heard yet, this weekend, the London Zoo's going to be hosting a plethora of humans, clad in nothing but a fig leaf (how very pre-fall) on Bear Mountain.

Weird? Ah, yes. Are you still taking your kids to London zoo this weekend? Probably not. But over and above the visuals of nudes, sprawled across the place where fond childhood memories were made (most likely not Tunick-esquely positioned either), here's the thing: people had to audition to be part of this 'unique event'.

The PR blurb says that the event aims to show the basic nature of man and the impact we have on the rest of the animal kingdom - hmmm, and then goes onto say that the naked participants will be cared for by the zoo attendants. I bet they will!

So, the Human Zoo. Weirder than a nudist camp in Alberta (horseback riding anyone?) or the naturist dining club in Manhattan (sausages, please).

And if you applied to partake (and have been through the gruelling interview and photo call) - please be kind enough to click unsubscribe at the end of this email.
