But Moss ran into a conflict in her new city when she announced in an online posting that she planned to in-line skate in the parade while wearing only a hemp G-string.
The chamber quickly thwarted the plan, saying it sets the rules for its parade and toplessness is inappropriate for a family friendly event.
After threatening to sue, Moss appeared to relent this week, telling the Ashland Daily Tidings she had agreed to wear a bikini.
“It’s unfortunate that on the day Americans are celebrating their civil liberties, mine are being taken away,” she said.
But Slattery said that when Moss arrived to fill out an entry application Wednesday afternoon she decided she wasn’t going to wear a bikini and declined to fill out the form.
“So we will not allow her in the parade,” Slattery said.
“Naked Ashland woman” in the news… again

This chick is an f’ing idiot. I’ll sue her for being an eyesore. Stop posting about her, you’re giving her what she wants.
Freedom, freedom, freedom, oy! Let’s junk Independence Day and instate Freedom Day, which includes topless hot-tubbing!
Yo Scottie, no one is forcing you to read anything on this site. If you don’t like it don’t read it or stay away. Have a nice day.
too right, move along!
i feel sad for Scott, because he has so narrowed his own ability to see. while his powerful labels for Ms. Moss don’t do anything to her, they do create a self-fulfilling prophecy in Scott’s own mind, allowing him only to see an “f’ing idiot” no matter what happens. tragic, seriously.
i’m sorta tired of hearing about her. there’s so much more to ojai than an angry naked woman.
I plan on relocating to Ojai in the near future. You’ll be able to recognize me easily in public, because I’ll be the guy wearing nothing but a strategically placed sock. (Hemp, of course.) I intend to draw attention to the plight of people in the Appalachians who are addicted to oxycontin, the need to recycle plastic market bags, the sad lack of places for transvestites to shop in Ventura County, and the largely unreported crime of dumping waste oil into a little hole in the ground in one’s back yard. Look for me at concerts, weddings, funerals, shopping mall openings, and outdoor dining areas. It’s so nice to know ahead of time that I’ll be accepted.
Look out…your OjaiPost.com cult/clan is out to get me now. I have my opinion, and it doesn’t make me any less of a person to think the way that I do. I wouldn’t even call this the OjaiPost, it’s more of a collective gathering of extremely liberal big brothers who look out for each other when an “outsider”, even being from Ojai, destroys there views and outlook on society. (Kinda like piranhas when something intrudes there space.) So here is an idea…make this a private website so you and your 15-20 followers can co-mingle about all of your similar interests and not let anyone from your “outside of the OjaiPost” life interfere with your articles you post on this site. No wonder I’ve been posting anonymously here for so long…I see you all attack other peoples beliefs when yours are compromised and it is a joke.
And narrowing my ability to see? Right… I see a girl who is starved for attention, and trys to sneak through loop holes in the system to get her point across. Then when she gets censored she acts like her rights are being impeded upon. I see just fine, thank you.
And she will always be a “F’ing idiot” in my view as long as she keeps her immature antics up.
Have a nice day!
Foolish people think freedom is freedom to act different, make a scene, or take your cloths off. Freedom is much more. The freedom to find an alternative energy source or to start your own business. Freedom is as much a responsibility as it is a deep human need. Don’t abuse it.
The only time I have seen any “attacks” on this site are when posters use phrases such as “F’ing idiots”. If you post things like that on this site, and you feel attacked by the responses you get, and feel that you have to post anonymously, well, maybe this really is not the place for you. I’m sure there are plenty of sites where you can name call and judge all you want, without feeling attacked.
I have seen intelligent and respectful debate here on various topics and I look forward to much more of that.
Ok Scottie, you overstepped your bounds placing all of us who write or support the Ojai post into some collective cult group or better yet a group of piranhas. There are thousands of people who read and support the post that in fact never post, and all of them actually think quite differently with many opposing opinions. Take me for instance. I think she’s a F-ing Idiot too! But I don’t think everyone else on the post is, and I don’t feel like my rights are being trampled upon and I don’t feel like I’m being attacked by the group.
Evan just posts his opinion…and that’s all it is, his opinion. He doesn’t represent me or thousands of others. So Honey lighten up, keep posting and feel free to speak your peace, as many do agree with you on certain issues.
And by the way – Tyler what the hell were you thinking, wanting to rile us all up again? I also wish you’d stop posting anything about that stupid, meshuganah moron, who represents absolutely no one except herself! Enough already! I want to hear more about Hugh’s sock, and finding better stores in Ventura for the transvestites…after all they need to buy shoes too! Let’s see if we can import more size 12′s in shiny red with open toes.
Okay, I’ll come to Scott’s aid, though I might be a liberal. I’ll tell my EFJ story here again. The last time I posted it, it was inexplicably deleted. Anyway…
Earth Friend Jen is really kind of nuts. Sorry. It’s just the case. What? You say you already knew that. Well, I’ll tell you how my two year old son and I found out.
It was a lovely late winter day earlier this year. Actually unseasonably warm, but welcome because my son and I were out riding around on our bike. Formerly my burly mountain bike that would go on rides over the ridge and into Rose Valley and down 33 home, but now being used a lot for our rides around town together. I don’t mind. I’ll get back up there, and he won’t be small enough to ride on my bike with me forever. Anyway, he has a really cool bike seat that I highly recommend called the WeeRider. It sits in front of me between me and the handlebars. It has a sort of platform that comes up and goes out a little over the handle bars that my son can put his head down on if he’s tired. It’s really a great thing for him, we go all over. I’ve even taken him off road up Rice Canyon and back down Wills Canyon. He actually slept the whole way down at like 20 mph on a single track. But I digress, you’re saying “what does this have to do with a naked woman?” Right, right.
So we were riding down Ojai Avenue past the tower toward the East and I looked up and caught sight of EFJ skating toward us on our side of the street about 100 yds. away and closing. She was clad as usual, pasties, g-string, skates and something else that doesn’t often get reported but is usually there. An angry, psycho visage. Too many labels for you. Sorry. I just calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.
I live downtown, so I saw an awful lot of this particular woman. She usually has a vaguely enraged, psychotic gleam in her eye and she is either screaming tunelessly or shouting incoherently. I really hate to do this, but imagine a middle aged man doing this same thing. What’s the first word that comes up to describe him??? Well then why wouldn’t you describe her the same way?? What, because she’s a fairly atractive woman in her early 30′s who’s in shape? Now who’s being sexist?
Anyway, back on the bike we were fast converging with EFJ. It was going to happen at about Los Caporales. As the distance closed her lunatic leer became downright menacing. Remember that my son sits right up in front of me. Behind the handle bars but still in front of me. That’s why I told you all about the WeeRider; I don’t own stock. When we’re riding he is clearly visible to everyone, including EFJ. As we draw close the darling siren of the environment and all things hemp lets loose with the dulcet sounds of “Get the FUCK out of my FUCKING way!!” right in my sons happy, smiling, little, two year old face.
We passed.
I was a little stunned. Now I’d heard her utter these things before and I’d heard other stories that were even worse than mere verbal barrages, but I couldn’t believe that someone, anyone, would scream like that at a child. At least not their own child…just kidding. Come on. Put the phone down. Just a joke to lighten the mood, jeez. But really, WTF!. I had half a mind to turn around and go scream at her, but I didn’t. You know why? Here’s why. Because Earth Friend Jen is fucking nuts. Pure and simple. I’m no psycho therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, but she seems to have some kind of a narcissistic freak out happening and she’s basically covering with the environment thing. Perhaps a dash of delusions of grandeur too with the whole towing the world around in a wagon behind her naked ass. Whatever. I’m a liberal. If you want to hop on your bike and ride around naked, fine. Heck, even if you are some middle aged guy(cringing in disgust-sorry). Really I don’t care and I don’t think it will warp the minds of the youth. Religion is doing that just fine, thank you very much. But if you want me to actually think you are a serious activist for the environment, then it takes a little more than pasties and a g-string.
Tell you what Jen. If you really want to show your concern for the environment and since you’re in the Pacific Northwest now, why don’t you ride or skate all the way up to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation on the Columbia River. What? You don’t know anything about the nations number one largest open-air nuclear waste dump which is leaching into the groundwater and into the river? You’ve never heard of the most costly superfund site that has still not been cleaned up? Well, neither have a lot of other people who are now running around because they can’t fill up their Hummers thinking “nu-cue-lr” power would be a great thing. You could lend some of your cache to that very worthy cause. How ’bout it. But you might want to wear lead galoshes, hemp g-strings okay, but definitely lead galoshes.
BTW, Tyler. It is feeling a little cramped in here. Is there really only 14 or 15 of us leftist cultists?
SPK
Who said there were no storytellers left in Ojai?
And there may only be 14 or 15 leftist cultists, but there are over 3,500+ daily visitors, including at least one on this thread who has gotten an early start on a long weekend.
paranoia face destroyer
you reap what you sow
time to go
time to go
every arguement is a competition for attention
oh yeah
and did I mention
that you cannot listen
their coming to take you away ha ha
you’re running to stand still
do you want the red or the blue pill?
to all my friends you are all my friends
to all my enemies you are my mees
that I cannot sieze the day
But siriously, I think beam me up Scottie
is starved for attention and plans snakey verbal attacks
to make us all smarter
like homeopathy for dummies
thanks Scottie
I see thru the thin veneer of distrust, anger and myopia
that you daringly wear like a veiled harlot in a dark alley
enticing naive Christians to forgive her
Gosh Spk – finally someone who makes sense – maybe now someone will listen!! I’ve been saying she’s a meshuganah how long now? The word means crazy in Armenian in a very literal sense. Just plain looney. Now I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with being looney – I just think it’s nice to recognize it and move on – instead of treating her like some great savior of the earth. The Girl is nuts, naked or clothed, her brain is moving about to her own voices.
So can we just never talk about her again, unless she’s finally getting help? We are obsessed with seriel killers, politicans, and loonies, guess that’s how we live La vida loca!
My God #13 (scott is paranoid) – you’re a meshuganah too! When did you happen?
Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t the big little d. given an awful lot of attention and negative speculation concerning EFJ? But doesn’t she keep telling us to ignore EFJ? Now bld is trying to tell us what should be posted? You know what big little d.? Your tendency to be too controlling (a little doggy told me) is showing. Finally, nowhere has EFJ been presented as a savior. This leads me to believe that your envious nature has led you to project your own guru complex onto slim Jen’s saga. For someone who wrote a pamphlet called ‘Shutup!’ you sure do talk a lot. So I guess it is ‘do as I say not as I do’? Thanks for the lesson in the science of contradiction.
Earth Friend Jen, by her own definition, is a social artist. Her themes are freedom of self-expression and exposure of society’s hypocritical preoccupation with trivialities. She achieves these aims very effectively, as illustrated precisely by the quantity of attention she generates in this blog and elsewhere. The vitriolic hatred expressed here for a woman who delightfully and at no small risk to herself exposes not just her body but her mind and soul for all to see demonstrates exactly what her performance suggests: that even here in progressive, bucolic Ojai, we are far more concerned with pasties and a G-string in public than with the profoundly serious issues confronting this society and the world as a whole.
Three cheers for Earth Friend Jen, especially on this Independence Day!
Reply to Comment #16 :
The book, “Shut Up! An Ancient Mantra for Complete Happiness, The Simple Truth Your Guru, Therapist and Grandmother Forgot To Tell YOU!” – was meant for you…because it means “to be still, go inside and find peace” – it doesn’t mean “not to speak your mind”.
Only someone who has found some semblance of peace can be fearless, show themselves, and speak their mind. People often think that someone who is “enlightened” or at peace with themselves is passive, a non-reactive person, who just sits, acts loving and let’s the world go by. That’s an erroneous misconception. The key to happiness “enlightenment” is to be natural, totally “yourself”. No shadows, open, unafraid, at peace.
If it’s one’s nature is to be passive or laid back, they’ll be at peace and be passive. However, if it’s one’s nature to be more aggressive or fiery, they’ll continue to act more aggressive or fiery and still be at peace with themselves. In our essence, we are all the same, but our flavors of spirit that display themselves in activity are infinitely different and fun to play.
So in the spirit of my particular nature – I encourage you to become more fearless, more at peace with yourself, so you don’t have to hide behind your anonymous superiority. Any coward can slander and then hide behind their” little computer”, afraid someone will find out who they are and what they said. However, it takes integrity, courage and fearlessness to speak what’s on your mind, show your face and sign your name.
Fearlessness and courage are a sign of inner peace, happiness and valor. Hiding, anonymity, trolling are a sign of insecurity, paranoia, shame and fear. Why don’t you try and give up your infatuation with me and “my Guru complex” and focus on yourself, developing some courage, some valor so you can have an opinion and sign your name with honor? It will set you free and you won’t have to hide in the shadows afraid I’ll find out who you are.
If there’s one thing nice I can say about Jen, it’s that she’s got courage. She signs her name and body to everything…Unfortunately she’s meshugah, so it doesn’t count.
Jen’s drugged lunacy is no greater than that of mainstream Ojai who every day, like today, parade their mindless matrix madness of political predation. Left and Right, their meaningless lives, their vacuous verbage, endorse and further the same nonstop military-industrial-state war against nearly all the non-European cultures on the planet. Murdering over a million women and children each year, having eradicated the entire biosphere of the planet, this is the pious pois-anity to which the ‘People of Ojai’ have pledged their empty lives, bloody butcher fortunes, and soul-less honors.
Reply to #19:
Again, a nameless, fearful, cowardly troll throwing nondescript useless nonsense. What is wrong with you? All that verbiage and NO COURAGE! Sign your name, let’s see who you are so we can greet you with “our bloody butcher fortunes” next time we see you.
Speaking of “soul-less honor” Where is your honor? Ashamed of your brilliant opinion? Unbelievable!
Great stuff, SPK, and dead on analysis.
Has anyone ever wondered how EFJ would react if they found her fully clothed and then actually asked to see her nude or semi-nude? Not well, I imagine.
wow, spk, thanks, and how does anyone continue to defend her – why? i don’t think she is crazy, worse, i think she is calculating and malicious, friend to no one (except cameras).
I admit, I did go overboard by accusing you of all being in a cult (only half serious), but I do agree with SPK’s story. And yes, she is EXTREMELY calculating and malicious. I have been taken advantage of in the past, and know when people are being sneaky and manipulative. But for her own smug sense of self satisfaction…I would have no pride in the message I was trying to convey by doing the things that she does. Happy 4th you lefties and righties!
the last thing I did was shut up after I read the book…I dragged two friends to Rainbow and made them buy it! Thanks Devorah-gee!
Happy 4th all you saints and sinners!
Riding on the coat tails of EFJ to market your self righteous pamphlet makes me chuckle. You are drowning in a sea of lipids trying to eat yourself afloat while using EFJ as a buoy. You wear your guru complex like a costume to hide all the excess flesh you’ve accumulated in an unconscious attempt to manage seratonin levels. You project your own cowardice on anonymous thought provokers as a way to protect your damaged ego.
Oh yeah, SPK, EFJ meets most of the criteria to be diagnosed as a psychopath. Actually, interestingly enough, Dvorah meets the criteria for being narcisstic.
#25,
Really? Are you a mental health professional? Just asking not attacking.
I’ve never formally met Dvorah so I really can say. But in her defense I will say that someone else brought up her publication.
I have no vitriolic hate for EFJ, though many would after the incident. However, I certainly do not like it when people who are legitimate activists and thinkers on important issues like the environment, people who have spent a lifetime in some cases trying to make a difference are usurped by flibbertigibbets with no clear reasoning or solution. I seriously doubt that EFJ is malicious or calculating, I don’t think she puts that much thought into her naked skating or biking.
#17 If EFJ is a social artist sort of performance artist who is poking fun at her own ability to draw attention because she is nearly nude, great. But why this constant allusion to higher causes and the environment. Near as I can tell her only real nod to the environment is the whole hemp g-string thing.
#19 You appear to equally detest all sides of this issue. I salute you, in a non-military fashion of course. I’m going to go back out and meaninglessly meander on my pious porch and come up with more “vacuous verbage(sic)” to assiduously assault one and all with seldom erroneous erudition.
I see your alliteration and raise you some assonance. I especially liked the “pious pois-anity”. Nice one Didj, that is you isn’t it.
“#17 If EFJ is a social artist sort of performance artist who is poking fun at her own ability to draw attention because she is nearly nude, great. But why this constant allusion to higher causes and the environment”
spk,
I didn’t say Jen is “poking fun” at anything. By her social artistry she is serving as a catalyst to elicit the false priorities of a corrupt society: a society that is obsessed with her semi-nakedness while the world itself is on fire. That is precisely why her allusion to higher causes and the environment is perfectly appropriate and exactly the right theme to accompany her public demonstrations.
Earth Friend Jen is an ARTIST and the meaning of her performances is multi-dimensional and has to be grasped intuitively as well as cognitively.
(I am sorry she swore at you when she feared a collision with your bicycle. I am certain she meant no harm or hostility to your two-year-old.)
#25 -
Reg..what’s wrong with you? Was your mother naturally plump and you didn’t like her? Relax, get over me and be Happy. We can meet again, and you can give me your list of complaints that you want to pile on me. Your unhappiness with yourself causes this reaction towards me.
And yes, I love my “guru complex” whatever that means and I love myself, my children, my community and I must admit I love vegetables and chocolate (in that order) and YOU of course! (whether you believe it or not).
If you want to find out even more about me – all you have to do is ask – but for that – you’ll have to have the courage and grace and freedom to speak your name and meet me again instead of whining and harboring all this resentment in a public anonymous forum. Here’s my website http://www.dvorahji.com, hit e-mail and vent until it’s finally over for you and you can live in peace.
Meanwhile, Dvorah, the happy fearless WARRIOR speaks her mind and says: Get a life besides ME, GET A NAME and walk in the sunlight instead of brooding in your darkened room. Go take your clothes off and follow Jen into Happyland. And if you can’t yell YOUR name outloud, you can sing Mine twirling down the street in rollerskates.
You see it’s all right to be anonymous, if you’re discussing, praising, helping, disagreeing – but when you start being nasty, attacking, hiding in the shadows as you sling your slime – that’s called: AN INTERNET TROLL. and you certainly fit that discription.
I hope my challenge will wake you up or make you so angry, you’ll want to face me and talk, so we can be friends.
Whatdoyousay, Do you have the courage to do it? That’s a direct invitation, come out to play…
Dr. Shlomo-
Since you have been deceased for nearly 70 years, I don’t see how you could possibly contribute to this blog.
EFJ is not that complex, to say we don’t understand her is mere poppycock.
SPK: No, #19 is not me… Glad to finally read about your encounter with EFJ. I always enjoy reading your stories and opinions. It’d be nice to have you aboard the Ojai Post as an author. Your insightful input and intriguing intellect could only inspire those who frequent this website.
Sorry Didj, though I caught some of your verse there, but I guess not. Thanks for the kind words, but if I were an author, who would constantly comment? By the way, I didn’t think you had deleted my original comment on your article awhile back about EFJ. I just thought something had happened and it disappeared. It’s equally possible my computer shut down before the ever so carefully crafted comment was fully posted.
HI Spk – we haven’t actually met, but I read your comments and often with gleeeeeeee! I’m always curious about the regular commentors like you, LTOR, and of course my most precious El Anonimo (where is he by the way?) I met him once because he recognized me and leaned over and said: “You know who I am?” and I knew him instantly. “It’s YOU isn’t it? El Adorabley?” and he smiled. Such a funny, lovable, tart, eccentric brilliant Guru of a man. The Best, even tho his comments can sometimes smart.
I would so appreciate it if you would catch me off guard some time, and say hello. I’d love to meet you and that goes for LTOR too. I promise to keep you anonymous.
And by the way Spk, thanks for speaking up for me – but this time you were almost right. I get alot of emails about my book, people who have read it wanting to express their experience and say hello. I had just gotten an e-mail from a neighbor I met at our block party and the subject was: “shut Up! Devorah-gee!” I thought that was funny, and of course I loved the rest of her e-mail too, so, I thought I’d share & post it in her name. So thank you for defending my honor. my best to you and your family Dvorah
Happy 4th everyone!
We enjoyed every word here!
It’s been an exciting day!
We discovered a whole family of raccoons sleeping high up in the pine tree. Every once in awhile they wake up, move around a bit and look down on us. When they fall back asleep you can see their ringed tails hanging over the branches.
Where Oh Where are you El Anonimo – We miss you desperately and we want you to Come HOME! Your friends at Ojai Post – especially your little senorita, Dvorahji. I really miss your hilarious wit and want you to come out and play!
The messiah complex is the first sign of a psychosis.
The guru complex is the first sign of a narcisstic episode.
Further research: listen to Carly Simon’s hit song, ‘Your So Vain’ while standing on your head.
Darling Reggan Jackson:
There is nothing wrong with being a little psychotic and there’s nothing wrong with having a little narcissistic episode and there’s nothing wrong with doing a little YOGA (standing on your head) while listening to Carly Simon (one of my favorites by the way). Everything is possible…and here to enjoy…let’s hope you find some peace in this field of all possibilities.
#33 Suza please post a picture of those Raccoons
#22 Although I obviously think Jen is not all there, I don’t actually think she’s malicious, I think she just can’t help being the way she is. Her actions with spk show you that she’s really not in control – because honestly No one would talk like that to child enjoying his day with his parent. It’s like suddenly screaming at a puppy for walking down the street. I think if they ever arrest her, she’ll be found unaccountable.
Political Poison?

I was away on vacation for the last week or so and couldn’t wait to sit down and catch up with the Ojai Post upon my return this morning. I purposefully do not read or participate when I am away because I know I would spend precious vacation time (meant for family and friends) reading all the wonderful posts and comments, being amazed by the humor, wit, passion, intelligence and incredible insight displayed here. And I just cannot allow myself the time or energy to get worked up by the likes of dear old Brian, or to get into lengthy discussions with the inimitable SPK and others who I consistently learn from and am inspired by.
Anyway, good to get back and get caught up. And Dvorah, I just may tap you on the shoulder some day with a little twinkle in my eye and say “Hey”. (I had the almost unbearable urge to do just that one day when I was came across Dennis Leary in town, but I ultimately chickened out.) Dvorah, I very much appreciate your promise of discretion. I too often wonder about the identity of El Anonimo, Phalarope, Meiners Oakey, Curious and all the other contributors here…and I wonder how many times our paths MUST have crossed in the tiny little world that is Ojai.
Darling LTOR – please do tap me on the shoulder, it would be such a hoot! I’d love it, such a tickle to see you because I am so often astounded by your intelligence, wit and good humor…so please, maybe even a raised eyebrow will do, my best Dvorah
p.s. Although I can’t tell you who EL-A is, I can tell you I’m completely in love with him. A truly great man with a gruff twinkle in his eye, a big sombrero, and an OM medallion with a Jewish star in the middle. A universal soul if ever there was one. I think he’s still riding a Harley with a paper bag over his head, looking for his Senorita. Unfortunately I looked too much like his mother, so he declined my marriage proposal…oh well, a girl can dream can’t she?
Priceless! I love the Ojai Post!!
Awww, thanks Dvorah. That is such an honor coming from you.
And thanks for that delicious visual of EA!!!
Good for her! Nothing at all wrong with nudity Or sex Or any of the like!
Kudos!
Wish there were More of her and a Real place one could Really live as openly/freely as they could, as she’s wishing.
Since when is ‘nudity’ such an issue, even in a parade, or in front of children/family? Only scared, narrow people (& ones who probably aren’t in any decent shape more so) have ‘issues’ w/such things. Pity.
Not Me & seemingly neither Ms. Moss!
Wonderful!
Come to Tahoe~~~NV side is ‘clothing optional’.
