One particular stretch of sand at San Onofre State Beach, outside of San Clemente, California, has a clothing optional policy--though swimming au naturel is technically illegal. Until now, the law would only be enforced if someone were to have a problem with naked bathers.
Well, according to an editorial in today's edition of the LA Times, some people have started to complain: the park rangers. Apparently, they just don't have time to patrol the area known as Trail 6, where beach goers roam free. But nudity there, it seems, has gotten a little too frisky, and there have been some reports of public sex in the park.
Recently, a judge ruled in favor of the clothing optional individuals, though all that was decided was that they can continue to frolic through the fall. (The parks service can still change the official policy at any time.) Long story short, if you get your kicks from going to the beach in your birthday suit, time may be running out!
Remember our interest in the first nudist flight? Sadly, it got canceled due to "moral concerns"--and now another spot where Germans love to run around naked is under threat.
Now that border controls between Germany and Poland are basically extinct, Polish people on the Baltic Sea coast are able to wander to Germany and vice versa, and that means a clash of the naked and the clothed.
The more prudish Polish want the German fans of "free body culture" to cover up; the Germans think the Polish should stop looking at them so closely. The only proposed solution at the moment is bilingual signs explaining what's going on. As if that isn't already obvious to the, well, naked eye.
Still need something to do this weekend? Get to St. Louis pronto--and don't worry about packing anything, since the World Naked Bicycle Ride starts at 9 pm Saturday. The 10-mile ride starts in Tower Grove Park and proceeds to Atomic Cowboy on Manchester, where there will no doubt be lots of slippery nipples.
Race organizer Mariah Pittman says the event doesn't have a thing to do with sex:
There are more ways to transport yourself than a car. This is about getting people to think oil dependency.
That said, the cops will still roll through to make sure riders aren't completely naked. After all, it's the Midwest--not Miami.
The Mémorial Canadien de Vimy in France is a towering tribute--austere in height but ornamented at the base--to Canada's World War I dead on the Continent who never received a proper burial. And though we're hard pressed to find anything aphrodisiac about it, after two instances of public exhibitionism with the memorial as a backdrop, we're wondering what people are seeing in the stone.
Mere weeks after a couple was fined for taking erotic photographs in front of the landmark, set on the site of the 1917 Vimy Ridge battle, a French couple was convicted of making a porn movie at the memorial. They weren't caught in the act, but the 30-somethings (whose names have not been released) put the video on a pay site, which means they may have made money off their odd act of desecration.
Must we point it out? Spain's Valley of the Fallen is the sexiest memorial ever. Accept no substitutions.
Sienna Miller tried to pretend she hasn't been in the tabloids for weeks while out and about in London yesterday. Ever since her steamy vacation photos co-starring very married boyfriend Balthazar Getty got out, her attempts to keep a low profile have been, shall we say, somewhat pointless.
Sienna's toplessness on holiday with Getty in Italy is one thing, but not all nudity-friendly zones are also pro-adultery: A clothing-optional hotel in Florida, Caliente Resorts, was forced to withdraw from the American Association for Nude Recreation amid rumors of sex parties taking place behind its closed doors.
Turns out, the AANR is a "family-oriented association," so any connection to swingers just won't fly.
It may have neat architecture and man-made islands, but playboy paradise Dubai comes coupled with a legal code not built for vacationers: A British woman is facing six years in prison after being caught in flagrante on Jumeirah Beach--twice!
The first time, publishing manager 30-year-old Michelle Palmer was caught in a compromising position after a business brunch (!) at Le Meridien Hotel. The policeman on duty let her and her paramour, known to the press as "Vince," off with a warning. When he caught Palmer and "Vince" again, she allegedly got a little rough with the cop.
Now the pair are facing charges not only of indecent exposure, public drunkenness and assault of a police officer, but also of having sex outside of marriage--an act prohibited under Dubai law. (Also a crime in Dubai: Being gay or cohabitating.) Though they're exempt from the sharia court system, Palmer and "Vince" aren't in great shape.
British paper the Daily Mail was particularly unsympathetic to the lovers' plight, writing that the first Brits in Dubai behaved "badly, lewdly, crudely, as British expats do everywhere" but were decent enough to do it behind closed doors. Once again, we implore you: Be suspicious when you strip!
Planning to spend your Independence Day in Oregon now that you found out Ashland, Oregon's Fourth of July parade will include a naked lady?
You need to get out more! Try dating someone instead of just ogling them in a parade. Find your big love in this small corner of Oregon at one of these hot spots:
One World :: Cheap incense and world music await you at this knicknack store, along with the girl for you "if you routinely use words like caboose." 1600 N. Riverside Ave., Medford
Bambu :: Visit this Asian fusion restaurant if you're hungry for coconut lime soup and pad thai and find yourself "starved for a connection." 970 N. Phoenix Rd., Medford
The town of Ashland, Oregon has a classic Fourth of July celebration planned. The day starts with an early-in-the-morning six-mile run, then continues with food and game booths, arts and crafts and even a reading of the Declaration of Independence before the fireworks. The all-American festivities in Ashland have been about the same for more than a century, but when the parade kicks off at 10 am this year, one thing may be a bit different.
Jen Moss, known as the "the naked lady," plans march this year, wearing nothing but a hemp G-string. She moved to the town recently as she was intrigued by its nudity laws. Apparently the town only requires that genitalia be covered in public, leaving her "bottoms only" approach perfectly acceptable.
Understandably, the town's chamber of commerce is a little concerned about her participation, but we hope freedom-lovers will sit back and enjoy as the parade passes by.
