The Lady Godiva Blog here made lot of people interested  visiting this blog site. I am honored & overwhelmed with all the mails & comments { good one & not-so-good-ones}and suggestions as well. One woman suggested that I post this info on my blog. I respect her wish not to disclose her identity. This pic and news she was kind enough to mail me. Thank you lady:)

I am not sure in what way I could relate to my previous Lady Godiva blog and this one. This is pure news or rather some of my 4th estate friends say.." infotainment'. However happy reading:)

An unexpected sight greeted a few startled early risers this morning as a group of young women rode almost naked on a white horse through Hyde Park recalling the legend of Lady Godiva.

The real Lady Godiva modesty was said to be preserved only by her long tresses when she rode naked through the streets of Coventry in protest against her husband's harsh taxation of his people.

But these ladies were saved only by a nude-coloured high cut brief, as they trotted through the Royal park on their magnificent steeds.

The ride was organised by the film director Vicky Jewson, who directed a modern retelling of the story recently.

Several naked ladies on horseback rode through Hyde Park for the DVD release of British romantic comedy Lady Godiva, and to raise money for Maggie's Cancer Support Centre in Oxford.

Actress Libby Jewson who plays Penny in the film was one of the group who created the startling spectacle to promote the film about a schoolteacher who has to decide whether to recreate Lady Godiva's infamous ride to win a £100,000 bet.

The unexpected sight certainly brought some colour to the city's premier park.

The film was the brainchild of 20-year-old writer Vicky Jewson, and nods to quirky British hits like Notting Hill and Bridget Jones.

Lady Godiva tells the tale of a young woman driven to desperate measures to raise money for a worthy cause, with a few romantic disasters and triumphs along the way.

"Lady Godiva was a great tale to adapt. It's a tale that's never been told before, a kind of undiscovered Robin Hood, the story of one woman's triumph over adversity," said Ms Jewson.

Ms Jewson started to write her Lady Godiva script straight after her A-levels and decided to ditch plans for university in order to concentrate on film-making.

Various romantic disappointments follow, including Jemima's humiliation on national TV a la Bridget Jones, before she discovers that Michael has made a £100,000 bet that she will not ride naked through Oxford.
