Portland nudist and aspiring model Jasha Lottin, like many nudists and aspiring models, usually posts the simple face, feet, misc. types of photos you would expect to find on a modeling portfolio site.
However, I guess face and boring body part photos can grow dull after a while. So, Lottin decided to break from the norm and really display her creativity. The only problem is, many people – including a guy browsing the web in North Carolina found her new creative expressions troublesome and contacted authorities.
In a statement to Seattle Weekly, the model says she can't understand why people are so interested in why she bought a horse, killed it, gutted it, then posed naked for photos inside the carcass and posted them on the Internet.
"No idea why people care," she said.
And maybe she is correct after all. Authorities in Washington don’t seem to care either. Sure, they questioned her, after the North Carolinian complained. However, sheriff’s deputies concluded that no animal abuse had been committed and therefore no laws had been broken.
A police report details that Lottin and her friend John Frost had purchased a 32-year-old dying horse in Richfield, Wash. Shortly after buying the animal Frost shot it in the head with a .300 Winchester Magnum hunting rifle (the horse had apparently been scheduled to be euthanized already), then the two skinned and gutted it before finally beginning their photo shoot.
So, for the burning question on everyone’s mind (along with many others, I’m sure), what was the reason for climbing inside the animal (along with all the other oddities)?
Well, Lottin explained her desire to "be one with the animal." Oh and, there’s a Star Wars connection too.
From the police report:
Lottin said in the movie Star Wars the character Han Solo cut open and animal with his light saber and placed Luke Skywalker inside the animal. This was due to Luke freezing to death in cold weather. Lottin said there was nothing religious about what she did and didn't intend to offend anyone.
Washington County Sheriff's Office Sgt. David Thompson tells Seattle Weekly that while the case is "truly bizarre", deputies aren't interested in telling people what weird stuff to put or not put on the Internet.
"We've definitely never seen anything like that," Thompson says. "People do bad stuff to people and animals, but in this case it appears that animal was put down humanely, so there's really nothing to compare it to. It's just bizarre."
Now, all the media attention on the story has probably taken away from what Lottin originally desired, to draw attention to her creative and artistic abilities. So, rather than add to the cloud of particulars, we want to help Lottin with her intended goal and get folks focused on the art. Warning: NSFW.
