‘Quote of the Moment’

This is borrowed from ‘Convergence- The Blog’ , pic and quote:
“I totally see why people follow convention. People don’t want other people to be different and they don’t want them to be happy when they’re different because then the implication is that they could live differently, too. A lot of people just can’t face that.”       [...]

Beach Saved!

Mail Online has a happy report about naked people (Eastney Naturists) managing to save their beach. 
Development was threatening  their au natural habitat and they fought back.  It can be done!  Bravo!

Get Naked, Be Happy!

Here’s a really decent article by a textile writer for the VC Reporter (Ventura County) about a nudist gathering.  No freaking out at the naked people, just a realization that they’re not a bunch of hedonists.  Hmm, ya think?
Check out The Nude Beach Alliance for more information about preservation of California’s nude beaches.

 

NOTHING BUT A SMILE

Have you ever noticed how friendly naked people are?  You will most always get a smile when you say hello.  Try that same thing in the textile world and see how far you get before you get a smile.
A smile is your outside voice.  You don’t have to speak to let people know you care [...]

Art?

Art is always arguable.  Is it good or bad?  Is it art or something exploitive?  Where’s the line?
We’ve wrestled with this issue, here and elsewhere, and Angie and Steve don’t always agree.  But this pic?  It seems that for anyone to find some sort of sexuality in it they must be seriously deranged and can [...]

Gunnison Beach

Excellent article and links to more on this National Public Radio site.
There’s also an audio about a guy who spent a childhood summer at, of all things, a Quaker summer camp for boys where he was expected to be nude.  KInda strange.  His next summer was too, but at least he didn’t have to be [...]

Born Free…

Loved that movie when I was a kid, seems a bit sappy now that I’m in my dotage. But it’s still sweet.
The link at the end of this post falls into that group, though I’ve never seen it before.  Angie found it and had to pass it on.
It does have some natural nudity in it, [...]

Happy (nudist) Campers

    So, what’s better than being happily, nudily in love?   How about winning the Lottery, to the tune of about  a half a million dollars?    
No wonder they look so happy!
 
Nice newspaper writeup in Mail Online. by Natalie Clarke.

Ladies, This One’s for You!

  Doesn’t need any intro, just go and watch.  Would love to hear from you.
  To view the video click here: “Viagra OK, birth control? Ah, well, ah, gee…hadn’t thought much about it.”
For more scary stuff click on the ‘Coat Hanger’ pic.  This is serious, you might not like what you see, but it’s important to women [...]

‘Nakation’ Makes it to TV

This AANR bulletin will take you to various items of interest plus a broadcast of NBC’s Today Show recently aired that featured (oooh!) discussion of Nakation in a Box. 
Not bad for exploitive TV, digressed a bit over some fashion model’s lumpy thighs, but what else can we expect?  Take the good and just say, [...]
