It tells the story of a stubborn woman from New York City, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011672172196">Roxanne Parée</a>. Spiritual, very sexual and deeply political, she wants to kill herself.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> This project is a <strong>REVOLUTION</strong>. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> This is <strong>the first step</strong> to a huge <em><strong>#change</strong></em> in the male&amp;female interactions.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Now, in Iceland <strong>it is illegal for any business to profit from the nudity of its employees</strong>.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> THE QUESTION IS: <strong>will it change the perception on nudity itself? </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Business is not only about <strong><em>making money</em></strong> <strong><em>out of  women sex-appeal or nudity</em></strong>, but also about putting the BLAME on women.  <em>B</em><em>eing topless, stripping, gogo dancing or having sex for money</em> becomes something DIRTY and NASTY... in one word: <strong>BAD</strong>.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><em><strong>So, it's not about nudity, it's about shame.</strong></em></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> People want to BUY what is forbidden, shameful and BAD.</p> <p>  </p> <p> People judge and still consume, which is a paradoxe. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>When women's sexual attraction and nudity will be respected?</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Only when you won't be able to buy it anymore... </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Your donation can really make this story come to screen. Social crowd funding is a new way to promote and finance art by staying independent from the gouvernement or the producers. The money you donate gives you a big choice of gifts. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>POLITICAL PLAYGIRL (english title)</u></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>REINE&amp;RUINE (french title)</u></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>PUTA Y QUÉ?

The ultimate goal is to encourage men who consume commercial sex to make an introspection on how they live their sexuality. The project suggests that they are victims and perpetrators of a sexual and superficial capitalist propaganda. If many may seem doing well in this "sexual misery", it's because we are "programmed" for it.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><em><strong>THE GOAL:</strong></em></u></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The project wants to bring back all the vulnerability that exists in human sexuality as also reconcile men and women, giving back a sacred value to their relationship, breaking the sexual marketing and regain control on intimacy, decency and life privacy.</strong></p>
