In summer’s waning phase, I sought inspiration for a “silly season” column, and found it — I thought — in a story about C.L.A.S.S. Soiree Steakhouse, a Hollywood, Florida restaurant where, on the first Monday of the month, at a cost of $150 per woman and $250 per man (or $300 for a dining couple), diners may fully disrobe before chowing down.

I very much doubt that nude dining for both sexes will become a “thing,” but within 24 hours I happened upon an article suggesting that desire to push the envelope on public nakedness, or near-nakedness, is filtering down from earthly goddesses on Hollywood red carpets, to America’s middle class, and may well have staying power.
