POINT REYES STATION, Calif., Nov 16, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Some women are baring it all to protest the possibility of war in Iraq.

Fifty women in California took off all their clothes earlier this week and spelled out the word "peace" on a baseball field just north of San Francisco.

Seventy-two-year-old artist Donna Sheehan said she organized the protest to convey the desperation that she and other women feel about going to war.

She called her friends, and they called their friends - and soon they were ready to pose for a local photographer.

The women aren't exactly sure what to do with the picture.

They've all signed documents allowing their images to be sold, with proceeds going to the peace movement.

If 72 year olds are your idea of middle age, you must be a LOT older than me.

I thought you were suppose to grow up by the time you reached middle age. These oldsters are idiots! No pics thank God. Can't stand to look at 72 year old trim.

This must be the 72-year old virgin all the Jihadists are yapping about.

Be an artist, drink Doctor Artist.

A political comment on Bush?

[F16Fighter]

Seventy-two year old artist Donna Sheehan [and]...the women aren't exactly sure what to do with the picture.

My constipated beagle would know exactly what to do with it...

[Fintan]

And now for a conservative pause that refreshes...

(My apologies, but I find this very helpful in clearing my mind of thoughts of hairy pits, cellulite, saggers, lack of exercise and extreme body odor.)

[Malcolm]

LOL, this will not change my pro-action stance on Iraq, the war on terror, etc, but however, it is what Buford T. Justice called an "attention getter".....

[Deb]

I hate this crap. Why don't men ever protest nude?

[Normally a Lurker]

A political comment on Bush?

It's more like what happens "when bush goes anti-bush"

[MadIvan]

I hate this crap. Why don't men ever protest nude?

You saying you want to see some nude male hippies, Deb? ;)

Regards, Ivan

[sheik yerbouty]

Point reyes? from the description it sounded like it was Sag Harbor!

[AndrewC]

They forgot their luggage.

[desertcry]

I hope they all have medical insurance.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Can't. It's football, hockey and basketball season. We have better things to do.

Are you sure they didn't spell "PIECE"?

Oh, I'm so ashamed! My mind must be in the gutter!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

How much money did they make before they got up?

[kcar]

Are they lesbians? If not, what did they tell their husbands?

[Mark17]

I hate this crap. Why don't men ever protest nude?

We don't have as many "attributes" and besides, all you would see, would be Clintons, Gores, Gephardts. Don't you think that would be kind of a freak show?

[yendu bwam]

Can 'ya get her and fifty of her friends to do a peace protest? I might turn liberal yet.

[Republic of Texas]

I can guess what these women look like, and i will gladly pass on the pictures.

[Rightly Biased]

Smart man my eyes still hurt.

[Jean S]

Deb, MadIvan is right. Be careful what you ask for.

[CyberAnt]

I believe that word would be "piece" ...??

[Deb]

All men are gorgeous...with possible exception of Marlon Brando circa 2002.

[Deb]

Selfish.

[Texaggie79]

If only we had women that would pose nude to SUPPORT the war.......... wait!!!............oh.......... nevermind :-P

[RightOnline]

You give men too much credit, but God bless you for saying it anyway. :)

[Deb]

I've thought about it long and hard...and I've come to the realization that there isn't enough credit in the universe to give men all they deserve. They are extraordinary creatures and their amazing combination of generosity, brilliance and courage blow me away everyday.

And sometimes you get to see Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson or Richard Gere's butt. Heaven.

[RightOnline]

.....I knew I liked you. :)

[MadIvan]

All men are gorgeous...with possible exception of Marlon Brando circa 2002.

You liked that album cover where John Lennon and Yoko Ono appeared naked then?
