Amid San Francisco's retail crisis, one man has a business idea he thinks could be wildly lucrative: banned books sold by buck-naked bodies. That's what George Davis, a self-proclaimed 'body freedom' activist, pitched on Craigslist while looking for a 'fit, ambitious,' female chief executive officer to lead his pop-up nudist bookstore in the city's downtown shopping center, Union Square, from August to December. The ad was first reported by a Bay Area blog.
If this space makes good money, you can quickly and easily replicate this project in Chicago, NYC, and London,' he wrote in the ad. Davis, pushing 80 years old, has been flaunting his figure in the nude in San Francisco for decades. He ran unsuccessfully for San Francisco Board of Supervisors twice and mayor once and was arrested in 2014 for flouting the city's new anti-public-nudity ordinance. He called himself a 'mini-celebrity' in the ad.
