It's Our Birthday!

War and Peace Star Bares All

Small screen hunk Aidan Turner secured overnight heartthrob status as a shirtless Captain Poldark. Now, War And Peace star James Norton is surely due to set pulses with newly resurfaced pictures that show the actor completely nude. Before his military garbs transformed James, 31, into Prince Andrei Bolkonsky for the BBC One historical series, the Yorkshire-born star was yoga-stretching in 2014 film Bonobo In the clip, James is also surrounded on his yoga mat by fellow nudists in the outdoor garden space before he's confronted by Judith, played by Tessa Peake-Jones.

What, the Danes? Say it isn't so!

I've always admired the Danes for their progressive and natural way of thinking, especially when it comes to the human body.  We've featured that attitude on this blog with Denmark's Naked Run (Nøgenløb).  Now comes news that Danish photographer,  Mathilde Grafström, who had her photographs set to be displayed in Copenhagen's Nytorv square,  has had her application rejected on grounds they were indecent.   Grafström's work is of amateur models and about body image.

"It's important for me that my models understand that the pictures I want to make of her, is not about how she looks physically, but about the life energi and beauty she contains." she says, "Often when they see the pictures after the shooting has ended, I succeed with making women really happy for a longer period of time, when they realize that they are actually really wonderful, alive and beautiful."

According to Denmark's TV2 news this is in contrast with approved bus advertisements around Copenhagen advertising breast enlargement.

 

You can decide for yourself,  personally I think that what this amounts to, as in so many other places, is a very vocal few who attempt to impose their prudish beliefs on the many.  

 

 

 

 

Club Orient Webcam

Check out the nude beach webcam from Club Orient on the island of St. Martin . O.K. thrill seekers you won't see any closeups! But, for all you snowbound folks it is fun to look at the beach. I will be there in March and wave to you from the first palm tree Link to Club Orient Webcam

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.

Naked Pig Art Banned!

A recent article from England's Exeter Express and Echo, tells of the plight of one Cress de la Fosse, an art student at Exeter College.  De la Fosse  submitted her photo for exhibition at the college but it was unfortunately rejected and she is not too happy about it.  "My work highlights the poor body image and insecure feelings that a high percentage of women experience", she said. 

The head of art and design at the college states, "Cress’s submission is a great piece of work which is why it has been included in this upcoming exhibition. While we are pleased to exhibit Cress’s artwork, one piece is particularly powerful and has been withdrawn from this exhibition in the college’s Centre for Creative Industries".

Well it's um, "powerful" alright, as you can see for yourself.

Nothing like a nude woman running through the woods wearing a pig's head

Personally I don't find it art so much as satire.  Recently in the news there was an allegation that the current British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was once fellated by the head of a dead pig.

Never believe politicians

Needless to say, De la Fosse is a little upset that her work has been banned and is now looking for a gallery to display her work.  Take heart Cress!  Here at Su Casa we have given your work a showing.  If you ever come to Second Life, let me know and we'll make it permanent.

Entire town goes nude for a day

To mark the end of summer, the entire population of the small town of Bowling Wary, Indiana, near Interstate 90, opted to go nude for the day.  The event was intended to mark a good summer and tourist trade.

"Decent temperatures and a fairly good influx of tourists helped make this past summer one of the best", says organiser Sue Parkay, shown here with her prize rose. Parkay is also manager of the nearby Cheeky Buns, a non-affiliated nudist resort and trailer park, says she is pleased that the whole town participated.

 

June, receptionist at the local dentist says, "I'm so pleased to be a part of this. Everyone in town is so enthused and I had one patient come in and change his appointment three times. I hope we can do this every year!"

 

"This is the first time anyone except my wife Ellie has seen me naked, now I'm all over town in my birthday suit.  I always wondered what old Mrs. Wilson looked like naked, now I know",  says Vern, a plumber, as he grins.

Jackie, a housewife, says she surprised herself by baring all, and added that she had to wait until her husband left for work before she disrobed.  "He'd never leave the house otherwise", she said.

 

The event included a lunchtime picnic and organizer Parkay says that while there are no formal plans to repeat the event next year, it will come before the town council in December.  "The weenie roast was well attended and a sure repeat if we do this again.  I'd also like to see volleyball games, three-legged races and mud wrestling", she added.

3,000 Naked Bike Riders photo-bomb wedding shoot

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Here comes the bride all dressed in white. And, don't look now, but here come thousands of bicyclists not dressed in anything. Nude and body-painted participants from this year's Philly Naked Bike Ride cruised through the wedding day photo shoot of lovebirds Ross Cohen and Blair Delson. The couple, who got married Saturday evening, spent the afternoon before their wedding taking photos at romantic spots around the city. Their wedding photographer, JPG Photography studio owner Joseph Gidjunis, was snapping photos of them in Dilworth Plaza, next to City Hall, when they heard the buzz of about 3,000 bicycles approaching. Delson and Cohen decided not to wait for the cyclists to pass before continuing with their photos. She grabbed handfuls of her tulle and lace dress and scurried toward the cyclists half a block away, and he followed. "We saw them," Delson said Monday, "and I sprinted in my heels and my wedding gown and decided to get in on the action." Cohen lifted Delson and twirled her around, and together they high-fived the nude cyclists, who serenaded them with cheers. "We thought it was hilarious," Delson said.

Nudist Movement Seeks Next Naked Generation

"The whole lifestyle will just disappear unless we attract a younger crowd." - Nicky Hoffman, head of the Naturist Society

America's nudists fear their lifestyle is in danger of disappearing because of a failure to attract naked young people. Membership of the two main nudist organizations has been sliding for years and nudist resorts are finding that younger people aren't so keen on spending their vacations around naked Baby Boomers. "It's not that I have anything against old people," one 22-year-old tells the Wall Street Journal. "I just don't really want to hang out with them at the pool."

"The problem is, most of these resorts aren't geared to young people," the head of the Naturist Society says. "They've become like retirement homes; they've sort of calcified." Numerous groups exclusively for young nudists have sprung up, however, and established nudist societies are going all-out to attract younger members with events like reverse strip poker night, naked volleyball tournaments, and the music festivals Nudepalooza and Nudestock.

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?

Adam Zoekt Eva

A Dutch reality television show similar to America's shows “ Dating Naked” and "Naked and Afraid”. Unlike their American counterparts the Dutch air the show uncensored. For all you the thrill seekers the whole series is available on Youtube if you sign in with an adult account. Right Youtube innocent non-sexual nudity is SO DIRTY!

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.
