Okay, first off the wheel chair is mostly metal, and void of modern era plastics, the persons’ glasses are big plastic framed ones not in fashion back then…the stairway has an early 70’s feel to to it, and is not to modern building codes, where as a human hand can grasp it in case of loosing their balance, the building’ windows have individual panes of glass poor insulation, back when heating oil was 20 cents per gallon not a problem then, and the window air conditioning unit is the biggest unit of the time frame of the 70’s. Her outfit may be retro, and off the thrift shop closet. Bell bottom jeans and knitted hats are also known for the 70’s,
Been there…seen that era but not …the streakers…
This doesn’t exactly fit the usual timeline if we assume it’s from before color photography. Perhaps it’s black and white because it’s from a newspaper?
Also photographers use digital cameras, but convert to black and white.
Lots of reasons to do so. Her coat may have clashed with the color of the building. Might be the guy in the wheelchair was wearing red, and distracted from the overall image. Did anyone even notice the guy in the wheelchair?
Photographers make all sorts of decisions to convey the image they wish to present. B&W, or monochrome, is a popular means to do so.
Indeed you can find pictures of Deeta Von Teese who has used monochrome for special effect. There’s plenty of b/w stuff on the vintage erotica site. I’ve recently submitted a b/w contribution, just a matter of whether it passed quality checks 😉
To be honest, every time I bring up “timeline” it’s basically just one detail, or things that directly follow from it, that I’m trying to keep consistent. And that is: permanent nudity rolled out in the 2000s (2000-2009).
That means it was essentially non-existent in 1999, and common (at least throughout the US) by 2010. An example of something that follows from this is that a 30-year-old could not have been permanude their whole life.
Nudists/naturists existed since the dawn of time. While not government labeled permanude, anyone could have been nude their whole life, 30, 50, 80 year olds. Language evolves. When talking to a 18 year old, perhaps in this universe “permanude” is simpler to explain to them than using the variety of labels others may have used: textile-free, au naturale, nue, free hippie, etc. All have been used to describe the lifestyle. So younger people might have grown up with permanude being the choice to label a specific lifestyle, it evolved in covering all those who do not wear clothing.
Sorry to sound like a total nerd but do you have any more history/lore written up for NWO? I’d be curious to learn how and why permanudity was introduced into society and things like, the public’s and politician’s initial reactions, views, and objections to such a thing.
Not too much. To be honest I decided pretty early on that it might be better to leave it mysterious. It could be a fun topic to explore more, but by this point I feel like it would be strange to retcon and official origin story.
A few things have been hinted at though. One is that nude punishments and voluntary registration were more or less a package deal from the beginning, perhaps implying it was a compromise between two or more factions with different goals.
And this recent post has a good discussion in the comments about why it might be that people have to be “Permanently Naked” instead of just allowing nudity at will. It seems like a good guess that reasoning along those lines played in how it was implemented.

or a photographer used B&W film. People still do.

I must admit, despite being a follower of the NWO blog even back to the Tumblr days, I don’t think I’ve ever actually read/learned the timeline.
