antville.org has a new feature, and now I can upload audio and (small) video files. I'm not sure about the bandwisth limitations, but we won't know without trying, right?

I've chosen a French model for our test case -- let's not forget SALTYT is posted from Paris -- it's an in-house amateur video filmed while Lou Doillon was posing for a Jalouse editorial feature. I suppose it was taken by a photographer assistant on one of those miniature digital cameras appearing to take stills only, Nikon Coolpix and the likes. Click on the link and let's see if it works:

I have a much more interesting clip, the famous nude scene from "Femme Fatale", but it's too large for this server, so I'll try to find another solution soon!

Women to Bare It All for Rain

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Hundreds of women from drought-ravaged southern Australia plan to bare it all to the heavens in a bid to make it rain.

Inspired by a Nepalese drought-breaking tradition, the women from Ouyen in the far northwest of Victoria state will carry out a naked rain dance in the barren outback in early March, just ahead of the planting season for the next crop.

"We'll invite all the families from all the communities around in the Mallee (region) who are suffering from the drought, we'll all get together and have food and entertainment all day," said organizer Lynne Healy of the Ouyen Inc community group.

"And the women will get on buses and discreetly go out to a secret location and we will do our dance or our whatever," Healy told Reuters on Wednesday.

Unexpected publicity means the rain dance will probably attract many more than the 200 women the organizers originally expected to take part -- but the media will not be invited.

"It'll be totally nude, hence no cameras," Healy said.
