Coincidental but not necessarily relevant to the 25th anniversary of "Nudes 'A Poppin'," which is held in Roselawn, Indiana, is an early 1970's jail-break pop tune entitled "Indiana Wants Me." Considering that he's all but made Nude 'A Poppin" his signature video event, Buttman John Stagliano probably took the song to mean him, personally.

What Stagliano's done is singlehandedly re-invest enthusiasm in a nude contest franchise that was perilously close to becoming dormant as an idea in a bimbo think-tank. In this, his fourth edition, despite ominous storm clouds gathering over the Ponderosa Sun Club, Stagliano celebrates the female ass in a manner befitting an Aztec sun god.

Lo and behold, the clouds break at one point, thanks to, as one might suspect, referential camera work that cuddles closer to its subject than a stool sampler in a fecal coliform test.

MC'd, again, by Ron Jeremy, who gets about as much air tie in this vid as a fart in a rubber suit, what makes this year's outing particularly astonishing is the number of versatile female pucker & smooch artists it produces. Articulating their respective assholes like mouths on a Señor Wences puppet, the Rockette lineup of chorines, individually and collectively, produces more squat shots than a shitter in a ladies' penal institution. This attraction, alone, will keep Staglianophiles from going over the wall.

Stock in anticipation of either the next break out, or this scorcher being nominated, again, in the Best Alternative Video awards category.
