Stripping off my clothes for polar bears
February 21, 2010
Fact: This snow angel extraordinaire is not me.
I’m dropping my jeans this Saturday as I cruise around Manhattan naked – for polar bears.
I’m tired of the same ol’ 5K fundraisers. Yes, these events benefit incredible causes, but I’m sick of running. Can’t we get a little more creative in our philanthropic events?
I value the zainy element of the Naked Polar Bear Cruise, and I’m always eager to support the Wildlife Conservation Society. Therefore, I will strip down to my tie-dyed bikini (Yes, I lied, and I won’t be completely naked) on February 27th.
The longer I endure the cold, the more moola I raise for the bears. My pride is at stake here too. I’m a tough girl. I will stick it out for the full hour.
For all of you New Yorkers, come out and play naked this weekend. Or spectate. Or just laugh at all of us fools as we freeze our tushies off.
If you miss the boat and want to support the vulnerable polar bears, donate a few pennies or dimes per minute that I withstand the cold. Email themathematicsofglamour@hotmail.com if interested.

You’re very brave! Sounds like it was for a good cause. How did it go?

Thanks, Skinny! The hour went by quickly … lots of dancing and cuddling to stay warm. I really enjoyed the wild men from The Polar Bear Club. I might try and swim in the ocean with them one of these Sundays.
