ASHLAND (AP) — A woman seen frequently in Ashland riding topless on her bicycle says she plans to be in Ashland’s Fourth of July parade free and independent of all clothing but a hemp G-string.

The Chamber of Commerce says that’s contrary to the rules for the family celebration. She says she’ll sue if she can’t parade as she wishes.

Jen Moss has been known as “The Naked Lady” since she moved to Ashland in May from Ojai, Calif., drawn by the town’s nudity laws. They specify only that people must cover their genitalia in a city park or the downtown commercial district, which means Moss need not cover her breasts.

The police in California, she says, harassed her when she rode her bicycle wearing a G-string and pasties.

Moss applied for an entry for the parade, which draws thousands each year.

Oh Ashland, guess that's in Oregon.

I agree she is just an exhibitionist, but the more outlandish the behavior these days, the more thrill it seems to be for some.

"Way to go! I totally support her!"

Obviously you don't support her since she is going without a bra LOL

I do hope she's permitted for the parade. I support her choice, and if I were close enough to attend it I would applaud!
Go for it, Miss Moss.

This woman has to be an exhibitionist and is also cookoo. I cannot imagine any one in their right mind wanting to parade with only a g string in front of people in a parade of all things. I think the city council should get busy and pass some decency laws. I think she belongs in the looney bin.

Now, this is going to get interesting as we approach Independence Day, the day we celebrate our freedom.

Can you say cookoo. How badly can one person want attention.
This is a family event and she shows no respect for her new fellow towns people.
Ojai must be so glad the cookoo flew to Oregon.
