As Casey rode to Tech, she started feeling nervous. She was going to be interviewed by the Port Wiluma Gazette that morning, which meant that her nudity was about to become very public knowledge outside of her current circle, and that would mean even more attention on her everywhere she went. She tried reassuring herself by remembering that now she had something worthwhile to say. Here was an opportunity to send a message about body positivity out to women everywhere, as well as indirectly creating exposure for her porn career, which like it or not, had a payoff which benefited her as much as it did Jolene now.
Would the porn side of things destroy her female empowerment message, though? Would people just see an Internet slut with a double standard? Perhaps not if the porn was presented as a celebration of female sexuality. The two things needn't be mutually exclusive, but she would need to control the narrative and make sure the right message came across. She decided she would also speak to Jolene about adding something about it on her website instead of all the bullshit on there at the moment designed just to titillate purvy men who only saw a body and not a woman. Surely it was possible to do both…
At morning teatime, she went up to Administration and found the News crew already waiting for her. Leanne led them all to an interview room.
"Hi, I'm Alexis from the Port Wiluma Gazette, and you must be Casey?" greeted the well-dressed young reporter holding out her hand.
"Yes, pleased to meet you," Casey replied as she shook her hand and smiled briefly at the question, wondering if Alexis actually expected to find more than one naked girl on campus.
"Ok, just relax, Casey," Alexis continued. "Answer at your own pace, and any questions you don't like just say so. Over there is Graham, our camera guy. We'll get some shots of you during and afterwards if that's ok? Other than that, we'll only be recording audio for the interview itself."
"Sure," Casey replied.
"Ok, comfortable?" Alexis asked.
Casey nodded.
"So, what made you want to become a nudist?"
She was ready for this one.
"Well, I'd been intrigued by the idea for some time and started experimenting. Then an opportunity presented itself and I had to take it," Casey replied, without really lying.
"How long have you been a nudist?"
"Um... this is just my second week."
"Oh wow. Were you nervous at first at all, or was it everything you hoped it would be?"
"Um... I'd be lying if I said I was totally comfortable at first, but I'm getting used to it now. The faculty has been very accepting, and I think the other students are getting used to seeing me around now too."
"What are you studying?"
"I've almost finished my diploma in graphic design."
"Do you think being nude will affect your career prospects?"
"Um… well hopefully not, but I guess I'll see," she responded, wondering if she actually would have any chance of landing a job after all the porn she would have done by the time her indenture to Jolene was finished. "The Tech program has prepared me well, and it's illegal to refuse to give me a job just because I'm a nudist, and graphic design doesn't usually involve much customer service so hopefully it won't be a factor anyway."
"Were there any unexpected things you've gained from the experience?"
Here was an opportunity to talk about female body positivity.
"Actually yes. The feedback I've received from people, women in particular, has really driven home the message that women's bodies come in lots of different shapes and sizes, and all of them are normal. Women have been taught to be ashamed of their bodies and their sexualities, particularly if they don't meet certain standards, and those standards are unrealistic, and they've been doing untold harm all over the world for too long."
"And what made you come to that realisation?"
"Well, I had hang-ups about certain parts of my body, but from what people have told me, and from what I've since learned, there's nothing at all out of the ordinary about me. I am perfectly normal, and beautiful, and so is every woman out there. We are not Barbie dolls, and we should not be expected to look or act like them. We are human beings. Women and girls have even been mutilating themselves getting nose jobs, breast implants, even so-called vaginal rejuvenations, you name it, because the world has been corrupted by outdated and inaccurate patriarchal stereotypes about what women should look like and how they should behave. All that needs to stop."
"That's a powerful message. Have there been any downsides to being nude?"
"Well, apart from not being able to hide anything from anyone anymore, I guess rude people really bug me. Some people seem to think that my body is their business, or that I'm here for them to gawk at or judge. If I hear one more person tell me that I seem to have forgotten something, or one more idiot beep their horn at me while I'm on my bike, I'm going to throttle them. I am not an object. I am not a toy or a possession. I am human. I am a woman. It shouldn't matter how a woman dresses, or undresses as it is in my case, it's nobody else's business."
"Oh ok. We've seen some of your, ahem, material online. How would you respond to that?"
Leanne vigorously shook her head at that. Casey was momentarily shocked to realise that both the newspaper and Bernstein knew about her porn career, which meant that Bernstein must be just biding her time and avoiding any scandal that might trigger an anti-discrimination lawsuit until she graduated. It was only a few months away after all. However, since it was out in the open anyway, she felt the need to defend herself. She had already considered this and knew she could combine sexual freedom with body positivity. This was the double standard she was worried people might read into her lifestyle. She would need to choose her words carefully though.
"Off the record, you may notice the complete absence of any men in my work, and nothing that is not in keeping with everything I've said here today. A woman's sexuality can and should be celebrated. It is as much a part of her as anything else, and it is still very much her business if, when or how she chooses to celebrate it," Casey replied.
"So, you don't just do it for the money?"
Shit! It's true I wouldn't be doing any of that stuff if there wasn't a financial incentive for Jolene, but then what's wrong with taking advantage of men willing to pay money to see me celebrate my sexuality? More fool them, right?
"If it was just about money, just think about who it is that might be forking that money over…" Casey replied while tilting her head and raising her eyebrows.
"Um... I object to this line of questioning and ask that Casey's extracurricular activities do not go to print. We are aware of them and do not wish them to be associated with our organisation," Leanne interjected.
"That's ok," Alexis responded. "We won't print any of that. I was just interested to hear Casey's justification for it."
She turned back to Casey.
"Casey, you are a true inspiration to women everywhere. I personally feel inspired by you, even with your, ahem, extracurricular activities, which I think you may actually be right about. You are protesting the patriarchy by representing a body-positive feminist message and celebrating female sexuality, while at the same time getting paid for it by the people who want to objectify you. I think altogether that might actually be a stroke of pure genius!"
