Nude Beaches OK for TV

OK for TV commercials, that is.  There are currently a couple of commercials that feature nude beaches, and not in a really terrible way.  Just kinda funny.
One is for a cell phone company.  The joke is that a family visiting a beach didn’t realize it was clothing optional because they were out of contact.  Click [...]

Ah… Sweet Youth

Just got back from the liquor store, spent a little time chatting with two young men in line with me.  They had a huge amount of beer in their cart.
Being very perceptive, I said something clever like “Having a party, huh?”
They said they were going on their annual Wisconsin River trip with friends.
I asked if [...]

‘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.”       [...]

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 [...]

Ladies, This One’s for You!

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 [...]
