Welcome!

Welcome to All Nudist!  We’re here to talk about all things related to nudists/naturists, to share information and thoughts, and to learn from you.  Nudists (we’ll usually use that term for simplicity) comprise a diverse community of folks with different interests and lifestyles, so expect to run into a variety of topics.  Some may shock you, some may make you laugh, but they’re real issues involving real people.

This being a blog, you’ll also hear more about us than you might want; tough.  It is, after all, our blog.  A blog is simply a place for people with too much to say (after they’ve bored their friends, family, and neighbors to death) to ramble on.  The success of a blog depends entirely on the willingness of others to listen to that ramble.

We hope you enjoy, maybe learn something about our nudist/naturist lifestyle.  So come on in, read the most recent posts, and browse around.  The tour’s free, no tipping necessary!

The layout is blog-typical with the latest posting first, then working backwards in time as you scroll down.  If you wish to read more on a topic you’ve run accross, look in the ‘Catagories’ for the previous postings on that subject.

To learn a bit about us, click  About Us.  Again, start at the bottom and work up.

You’ll find suggestions as to some other good sources of information over on the right sidebar.  The ones with an asterisk * are those we coinsider the best.

Due to a number of reasons, including health, this site will no longer be kept up to date after March 25, 2010.

Thanks for stopping by!     -Angie & Steve

Naked Bikers Followup

  Here’s a couple of recent articles about the Madison ride.  Silly response from the police force of the “Berkeley of the Midwest”.

Naked Freaks! WNBR Madison

  Freaks, stark naked, just another bunch of Madison freaks, what’s their point?, illegal…   These terms and more were heard when the World Naked Bike Ride came to Madison this weekend.  Nowhere to be found were exclamations of discovery, that folks had a sudden enlightenment that bicycle safety, oil independence, and body freedom are important issues deserving of attention.  Like they were supposed to.  After all, that’s what riding a bike naked is supposed to mean!   Right?  Isn’t that the first thing that comes to your mind?

  One thing did come to people’s minds: cameras.  Gotta have a pic of those freaks in the street to show Aunt Mabel in Iowa.

We got off to a late start, caught up with the ride when it reached the Square.  The Farmer’s Market was going on so that meant tens of thousands of people to parade in front of.  What we saw was a large group of mostly young bike riders, much like the other bike groups around here.  One woman had her top off, everyone else we saw was dressed.   Apparently the police had informed them earlier that they would be cited if anyone complained, then (the police) solicited citizens to make complaints.  So they put their clothes on.

If demonstrators in 1969 had quietly packed up and gone home upon meeting resistance, we’d still be in Vietnam.

Local press had done mildly sympathetic reports prior to  the event, and followup stories were equally bland, playing down the arrests.  About ten people were arrested and released for disturbing the peace, both paraders and onlookers.  Typical for any event, no big deal.  Just another day in Madison.

Also that day were other events in town such as a Jazz festival in a park, a Blues festival, Juneteenth celebrations, Fruit Fest (as in l,b,g.t, etc.), and a family festival in Middleton, busy weekend.  All reached more people and spread their messages better than a few dozen kids on bikes, we’re sorry to say.  Maybe the Ride folks feel it was a success, especially for a first time, but it’s hard to see what effect the Ride had on perceptions about bikes, oil, or body acceptance.  Mostly it appeared to be a bunch of ‘bike freaks’ looking for an excuse to block traffic and get naked in public but chickening out when the rubber hit the road.

   This sounds like a negative review but it’s not meant to be.  It’s just easier now to see why the local nudist groups wanted nothing to do with the ride.  It’s not about body freedom and just makes folks look like fools.  Don’t need that.

  So we wish the WNBR all the luck in the world.  We just feel they should be honest and bill the event as what it appears to be:  an excuse to get naked and shock people by getting in their faces without (hopefully) getting arrested, as they surely would behaving that way singly.

Leaving You

After  a lot of soul-searching we have decided to discontinue regular updating of Allnudist.  Our original goal of providing a source of legit info for newcomers and useful resources for ‘old hands’ has been met.  The daily ins and outs, legal fights, silly videos and endless debates about who’s a real nudist can be dealt with quite handily by our fellow bloggers, of whom there is a better selection to choose from than not so long ago, plus a good selection of nudist/naturists sharing their particular living styles within the nudist context.

We’ll miss those good folks who have written to us and shared their lives and humor.  Some of you have websites and you can be assured that we’ll find you there, so good luck to you!  Have a good life folks, and may it always be summer wherever you are so you can BE NAKED!

Winter Shut-ins?

 Been a long winter?  Are you longing for the sight of a little sun and warmth?  Miss running around nekked?

  Well this may help a little.  Just click here:  Nude people running around having fun!  then click ‘open’.  Aahhh…

Sin-stralia?

  You’d think that the Land Down Under might have bigger things on it’s mind, what with sharks, crocs, man-eating wombats and all, but no.  Instead, we folks on this side of the Kangaroo Curtain have been entertained for God knows how long by that government’s ceaseless assault on bare skin.

From the art world to film and personal lifestyles those folks just can’t seem to get their minds out of the gutter.  Sex and sin is everywhere!  From all appearances, that country must contain most of the world’s population of perverts, rapists, pedophiles and sex addicts.

One solution to the nudist part of the problem has been hugely overlooked by the Powers That Be:  Create more, many more nude beaches!  Instead of closing, make some good use of them.  Encourage a big tourist trade, bring ‘em in from around the world!  The more the better!  The same goes for inland nudist venues, c’mon in, the water’s fine!

Now, the skeptic might ask how this will solve the nudist problem.  It’s simple, everyone knows that if you swim in the ocean around Australia you’ll be eaten by sharks. Inland waters are teeming with crocs. Viola’, no more nudists!  And the government’s control of internet and news media assures that the world will never hear about the attacks!  Perfect!

  On a more serious side (yeah, right!), as Winter haltingly slops into Spring here in Wisconsin, you must be heading for Fall over there (smart, huh?).  I’m proud to say that I posses the knowledge of geography that most Americans can claim (ie. zip) and I seem to recall that Australia is fairly large, bigger than Chicago even, and must have several types of  Winter weather.

  How about some of you wallaby wranglers drop in a comment here and share with us what you can expect weather-wise over the next few months in your area?  And how does that affect nudism there?  So get off your duff, or maybe get on it, and drop us all a note.  Just think, a few words on a keypad and you’ll be world-famous!

Priorities

Police can’t be trusted.

Priests molest children.

Politicians work for corporations, not the electorate.

Employers exploit their workers.

People die for lack of health care.

Teachers cannot teach.

Students don’t learn.

The poor don’t eat.

Wars are fought for political & monitary gain.

Some people like to be bare.

Let’s go arrest the naked people, for the sake of Society!
