Well, no – that’s not exactly true. The naked part was for a Le Book shoot, but talking to company founder Ivy Jeanne Brown, you get the feeling that, in her world, things like this (whether it’s naked photocopying or anything requiring a trapeze) happen regularly enough to require no announcement or commemorative t-shirt. Case in point: when we got around to talking about the opening of Go Fish Gallery – another one of her endeavors – while describing the entertainment that night, Ivy concedes “some people might find it disturbing to see a 6’6 angry clown in leather and pearls.” Some people, sure. Though definitely not her or anyone she knows.
