Topless Day

Okay, it's official.  Saturday 26 August 2017 is Topless Day. The date coincides with Women's Equality Day, the day in 1920 that that women were allowed to vote in the US.  According to the organizers, gotopless.org, the "Boob Map" shows several locations throughout the US where celebrations are scheduled.

While the map only shows US locations there are several listed throughout Europe, Canada, Australia, South America, and even  Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso  (no, I didn't know where it was either).

 Enjoy your top free day!

The Trouble with Naturists

There are news reports today of an alleged gang rape at a naturist resort in Kent, England.  The incident is alleged to have happened at the Eureka Sun Club on Saturday (June 17, 2017).  According to the report the victim had been talking to several men in a vehicle before returning to her caravan (travel trailer) where the rape is said to have occurred.

Rape in any form is not to be condoned in any manner for any reason and can occur in any village, town or city any place in the world.  What I believe is significant about this instance is that the Eureka Sun Club is reputed to be a swingers resort rather than a bona fide naturist venue.   Their website lists various parties and events, including a couples and single females party.  

This does not condone the actions of the men in anyway yet draws parallels to the vast majority of Second Life naturist locations where nudity is associated with sex.  A simple search for "naturist" or "nudist" turns up descriptions of sex in all forms.  I'm certainly not naive about sex but they should really call it what it is and not promote more ignorance about true naturism.  

Nudie Films

I subscribe to Amazon Prime, which gives varies perks such as free shipping,  fast delivery, music and streaming TV among other things.  The streaming TV offers mostly B movies and short clips of limited interest, such as 60 seconds watching airplanes take off and land.  It was on this free streaming video that I recently found three "nudist" films.

 

The first one up is entitled Unashamed: A Romance.  It was filmed in 1938 and I suppose it was fairly risqué for the time.  The story, what there is of it, centers around a woman who tries to get her boss to a nudist camp with the idea of winning his heart.  Most of the scenes depict a cozy utopian atmosphere where only the top half is shown nude except for a few butts here and there.  

The boss finally joins her and all seems to be going well with her plan until they encounter a blonde vixen who works at getting his attention.  I guess you'll have to see the film to find out if the blonde wins or not.  

The second film is called Bigfoot Horror Camp, yes, that's right, Bigfoot Horror Camp.  It stars Lexie Bell who is a porn actress and the camp in question is called the Double-D.  The bigfoot in question is some guy in a cheap gorilla suit who likes to capture the nude maidens and force them to pole dance.  It's probably a terrific film for a horny 13 year old boy but other than that don't waste your time with it.

The last film, and arguably the worst, is American Nudist, but with a promising title there is no plot, no real insight into nudism and, like the previous film, is an absolute and total waste of time. Not even good for horny 13 year olds.  The film is so bad, so forgotten and so useless, the only thing Google Images comes up with is the movie poster.

Dancing on the Beach

I was recently fortunate to see Nanami Nansen on the beach at Su Casa.  Nanami was the photographer and model for our 5th anniversary poster.

Nanami has two passions:  photography and dancing, so I was very lucky when she invited me to join her in some fun beach dances as the photo collage show.

You can see more of Nanami's photos  HERE.

We had a great party!

And many thanks especially to Stef and Trixie for all their hard work.

26 worst decisions you can make at a nude beach.according to Yahoo that is

1. Failing to read the posted rules Every beach has rules. Clothing optional beaches tend to have more rules. Read and follow carefully. 2. Forgetting a towel Sand + bare butt = bad. 3. Forgetting to sunscreen everywhere Especially on parts that don’t usually, see the sun, if you know what we mean. (And don’t forget to reapply!) 4. Expecting a scene out of Playboy or Chippendales Trust us, nude beaches are only packed with perfect bodies like in the movies. It’s kind of liberating.5. Using a selfie stick It's obnoxious in places where people have their clothes on, so…6. Close talking You don’t like it when people invade your space with clothes on, right? That goes double for a nude beach. Americans prefer 3 feet of personal space in everyday life, so make it 6 when naked with strangers.7. Taking pictures This is not the time or place for Instagram people. 8. Staring Need we explain? Don’t be that creepy guy. 
9. Running Even Baywatch babes needed a swimsuit to look good doing this.10. Engaging in PDA When you’re nekkid, everything takes on extra meaning. If you can’t keep your hands off your companion, put your clothes on and move back to the regular beach with all the other gropers. Or get a room.11. Doing yoga poses Don’t subject anyone to certain angles of your naked body. The beach yoga photo for you Facebook page will have to wait. 12. Neglecting to have a bathing suit or cover up handy just in case Food and recreational facilities nearby may have no affiliation with the beach, and may have health codes to obey. Plus, you need to wear something back to the car.13. Being ashamed of your body Going to a nude beach is supposed to be liberating. It’s not about perfection (see no. 4). If you’re going to spend the whole day squirming, it’s not for you.14. Making small talk Conversing with strangers is such a common habit, it’s easy to forget that in this context, not everyone wants to chat. And if you do find someone who wants to have a conversation, look ‘em in the eyes, buddy.15. Going with a brand new friend or significant other TMI, my friends. 16. Bringing the kids. This isn’t France.17. Bending over. Crouch, don’t bend. You don’t want to give everyone more of a view than they bargained for.18. Doing anything that could accidentally cause, um, arousal. This one’s for the guys, obviously. 19. Having no shame. You have to be respectful of the people around you.20. Failing to hydrate Ever see anyone with heat stroke while naked? It’s not pretty.21. Eating snacks with lots of crumbs Again, too many skin crevices, like with sand. 22. Neglecting to groom properly This one’s a personal choice of course, but we think it would be nice. 23.Going with bikini or tan lines It just looks funny.24. Wearing a hat. Or sneakers Maybe it’s just us, but we think it’s just weird to wear nothing but a hat or sneakers and your smile.25. Using a pickup line Unless your ego can withstand the obvious observational comebacks from the now-completely-disgusted object of  your (unwanted) affection.26. Behaving differently than you would at any other beach The general rule at a nude beach is to behave normally. So unless your “normal” self is a lewd, gawking, selfie-taking grease ball, strip down and act naturally. It’s what everyone else is there for.

Hanging in the Woods - Artist becomes trapped nude in her own work

A Norwegian artist named Hilde Krohn Huse filmed herself in hanging naked from a rope in a tree. 

However, as she reached the end of her video she found that she was unable to free herself.  The results are quite hilarious.  You can watch the video on the artist's own website HERE  or on
Vimeo. She said she was fortunate that one of her friends was nearby.  And who says Second Life doesn't have a similar set of problems?

What Dad Always Wanted!

Father's Day is coming up this Sunday, 21 June, in many parts of the world.  It seems one place suggests you give him that "something special".

Um, well, to each their own I guess.

Naked Jungle

This month marks the 15th anniversary of a British TV game show, The Naked Jungle, where all contestants as well as the presenter appeared nude. 

It appears as if it pitted one team against another performing various timed tasks.  As with the majority of British game shows it really is quite bad.

The TV watchdog reported that it only really got one negative response to the show but apparently the newspaper Daily Mail was supposedly outraged.  This is rather ironic as the Daily Mail is basically Britain's gutter newspaper.

You can watch clips below but, be forewarned, it's bad.
