Police Nab Nude Man During Stroll
A 39-year-old Litchfield man has been arrested for allegedly taking a stroll through town, naked. State police arrested Joseph Kowaleg Wednesday, about nine miles from his home. A caller reported seeing a naked man near the intersection of Route 254 and Wigwam Road and police were dispatched to the scene. More...

Nudity on Australian television began long before Big Brother Uncut. Jackie Chowns reveals all. They have been pashing in the sauna, the pool, the spa and the bath. Showing us their bums, their dangly bits and breasts. And now the bodies and behaviour of the Big Brother housemates have caught the attention of the industry watchdog. More...
The Return of the Naked Rambler
The so-called Naked Rambler is at it again. Despite being verbally abused, physically attacked and arrested by the police two years ago, he set off on another trek from Land's End to John O'Groats. This time 46-year old-Stephen Gough will have compnay as he braves the elements on his 874 mile walk. It was not the ideal morning to set out on a stroll, but a bit of bad weather was not going to deter the so-called Naked Rambler, nor his new female companion, who joined him in his second attempt to walk the length of Britain in the nude. More...Civil rights mandatory even where clothes aren’t
Great news for fans of all-over tans. The Associated Press reports that the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond has revived a lawsuit – tossed out last summer – that takes issue with Virginia’s nudist camp law. The suit was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the American Association for Nude Recreation-Eastern Region. It argues that the civil rights of nudist parents are violated by the Virginia law. More...Man charged with exposing his breasts
Despite Jerome Mason's appearance, the 23-year-old shouldn't be punished for showing his chest in public, attorney Michael Welsh insisted Tuesday. Welsh, a Hamilton County public defender, is stumped as to why Cincinnati police charged Mason with indecent exposure after they reported Mason was exposing his breasts. "It's not illegal for a man to expose his breasts," Welsh said. "It's also not even technically illegal for a woman to expose her breasts (in public)." More...All kinds dare to bare
Nudism is an activity that makes many people uncomfortable but you can't knock it until you bare it, a longtime nudist says. "We have people from all walks of life, all occupations and all ages," said Bob Migliore, who co-organized an open house yesterday at Crocus Grove, a nudist camp about 40 km northeast of Winnipeg in the Mars Sandhills. "If people want to try a lifestyle that's going to give them a new outlook on life, this is it. It's a big stress-reliever." More...Brutto truth! Italians OK with nakedness
Most Italians think nude sunbathing is perfectly natural and don’t mind crossing paths with bottomless beach-goers -- even when those bottoms are unsightly, survey results released on Sunday said. While topless sunbathing is widely practiced in Italy, bottoms are usually required and nudists can face fines of more than 500 euros ($595) on some beaches, the Italian Naturalist Federation said. More...Recreation au naturel
Nude recreation is quickly becoming the lifestyle of choice, with individuals from all walks of life, spanning all age groups and occupations boasting themselves as nudist. In 1959, when nude recreation was considered taboo, Empire Haven Nudist Resort and Campground became the first public nudist recreation facility in New York state. More...Myths debunked
Parental rights and free speech may get their day in court after all, thanks to a federal court. A panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the American Association for Nude Recreation-Eastern Region can pursue a lawsuit claiming that a 2004 Virginia law violates its free speech rights.

Animal campaigners go nude to protest Pamplona bull run
Some 600 animal-rights campaigners, all in the nude, brought the northern Spanish city of Pamplona to a virtual standstill as they protested against the nine-day running of the bulls festival. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organized a nude run to highlight the group's opposition to the "cruelty" of the traditional festival, starting Wednesday, which sees dozens of bulls stampede through the streets after revellers who try to outrun them. More...
Mother's Breasts Lead to Arrest
A stayat-home mother was arrested when she exposed her breasts to protest laws that bar women from publicly going topless. Elizabeth Book of Ormond Beach pulled down her top Saturday at a city auditorium, where she stood near four Grecian muse sculptures that are nude from the waist up. More...Farmland Bridge Club to Pose "Nude" to Save Historic Courthouse
A group of Randolph County women are reluctant to see their historic courthouse meet the wrecking ball. They’re turning to a tried-and-true method to raise awareness, as well as money to save the building. County commissioners voted to tear down the building, which would require extensive renovation. But some tenacious residents aren't giving up their local slice of history without a fight. More...
Nudist retreat restricted
A judge's order has stripped a rural Shawnee County nudist camp of its right to operate. Shawnee County District Judge Terry Bullock ruled earlier this week that the owners of Lake Edun -- Webb and Julie Garlinghouse -- may no longer use their property for recreational commercial activities. The facility surrounds a lake in a wooded area near 5501 S.W. Indian Hills Road. Its name, "Edun," is the word "nude" spelled backward. More...Ashcroft Gone, Justice Statues Disrobe
With barely a word about it, workers at the Justice Department Friday removed the blue drapes that have famously covered two scantily clad statues for the past 3 1/2 years. Spirit of Justice, with her one breast exposed and her arms raised, and the bare-chested male Majesty of Law basked in the late afternoon light of Justice's ceremonial Great Hall. More...
Nude tricyclist told to behave
Silver cowboy boots and a flowing scarf obviously aren't enough to save an otherwise naked person from a charge of wilful exposure. Morgyn Quinn found that out in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court yesterday after he led a 30-strong troupe of scantily-clad cyclists on a ride across the city last month to protest the council's proposed North-South Bypass tunnel. More...
County bars nudist camp event
Lake Bronson techno festival will proceed anyway, organizer insists. Snohomish County officials have barred a planned three-day techno music festival this weekend at a nudist camp north of Sultan. The event diverges too far from the county's special rules governing the Lake Bronson nudist camp, county Auditor Bob Terwilliger said in a letter to promoters on Monday. More...Naked Walk Temporary Updates Page
I took a shortcut up the steep crag, but unfortunately the wrong side. I heard voices chattering loudly, I couldn't follow the conversation but one word sang out - "textiles". Ha!. They then walked past me 20 yards away just the other side of a bank of nettles, deep in conversation about having to climb all the way down the crag again. I'd made contact with Steve on the mobile about half and hour previously. More...
DTGB Users To Hold Naked Ralley To Protest Clothing
At least 200 people will bare it all in order to bring the need for clothing optional housing to the forefront. The group expects to hold a peaceful demonstration of the nudist lifestyle on the beaches of New Jersey and plans to move the demonstration to the center of town in time for dinner. The groups spokesperson Freeda Flash said "It's high time nudists got a fair shot at housing and an end to discrimination based on the clothing optional lifestyle". More...Americans lose their holiday inhibitions
It is called a vacation "au naturel," using a French expression as a fig leaf to cover up its more common name of naturism. The United States is a deeply conservative country and some inhibitions take time to cast off, but Americans are starting to flock to beaches and country parks reserved for nudists, especially at the luxury end of the market. More...
There's nothing between me and these words
I'm writing this column in the nude. It wasn't my idea. One of my readers suggested it. It followed a column I wrote in May about visiting a nudist colony in Candor and then writing about it. I asked readers if I should go nude and write a firsthand story. I received more than 70 responses from online readers as far away as New Zealand, South America and Scotland - including a minister and his wife, who are nudists. One nudist, a middle-age man, e-mailed me a full frontal photo of his nude self on a beach. Hmmmm? More...Nudist festival planned at park
County officials are reviewing plans for a clothing-optional music festival near Sultan. If organizers pull it off, techno music will pulse until 4 a.m. during an upcoming four-day festival at a nudist park north of Sultan. Some county officials started reviewing the clothing-optional event on Monday and are scheduled to discuss what permits or licenses are needed this morning. More...Bono shocked by Muslim women's reaction to breastfeeding
U2 frontman Bono was horrified during a visit to Ethiopia, when he saw local women pelting a breast-feeding aid worker with stones. The American woman was oblivious of the offence she was causing, and had to escape the angry onslaught from female Muslims who had no qualms about injuring her or her baby. Bono recalls: "I remember one vision of the people who are with World Vision, which is an American aid agency. More...Living the naked life in California´s desert
The desert winds were blowing hard in early May at De Anza Springs in Jacumba, Calif., just three miles shy of the Mexican border. The 600-acre property borders a 100,000-acre state park, and is surrounded by volcanic mountains and miles and miles of view. I'd packed light, since this is a clothing optional resort. More...
Cyclists bare all in oil protest
More than 100 cyclists have ridden around London naked in a mass protest against dependency on the oil industry. Protesters on The World Naked Bike Ride cycled past Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the US Embassy on the 10km route. Riders in 54 cities were protesting at the "destructive effects of car culture" and celebrating "the power and individuality of their bodies". More...
Naked cyclists protest car use
Hundreds of naked cyclists rode past Big Ben and the U.S. Embassy in London on Saturday to protest the West's dependence on gas-guzzling cars -- and to push for more use of bicycles. The organizers of World Naked Bike Ride 2005 said protests were expected in a number of countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Italy, Latvia and Israel. More...

No joy for nude cyclists
Karlsruhe - A German court on Tuesday quashed the hopes of a group of naturists who wanted to cycle along the Rhine River wearing nothing more than a smile. Cycling in the nude, the Karlsruhe court ruled, is "highly inconvenient". The group of 12 naturists were planning to cycle along the Rhine in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg on Saturday as part of what they were dubbing "World Nude Cycling Day". More...Residents walk, run, cycle nude to raise $150,000
More than $150,000 was raised and thousands of people helped build awareness for a number of causes during a weekend crowded with fundraising events. About $85,000 was raised Sunday in Vancouver's Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion event at the Plaza of Nations, one of 184 Wheels in Motion events across Canada to raise funds for people with spinal cord injuries. "This is awesome," said Gerry Burns, 35, who raised more than $2,000 for this year's event. More...
Demi and Ashton go nude to the fair
Demi Moore is to appear naked on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine - almost 15 years after she famously posed nude for the magazine while heavily pregnant. However, this time round the sexy actress will strip for the camera with her toy boy lover Ashton Kutcher. The brunette beauty, who has three children and is rumoured to be pregnant with boyfriend of two years Ashton, will be photographed by snapper-to-the-stars Mario Testino. More...
Naked rambler and partner set off
The girlfriend of the man dubbed the "naked rambler" has joined him on his second attempt to walk the length of Britain in the nude. Stephen Gough, 46, was arrested 14 times and served two jail sentences when he walked without his clothes from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2003/04. On Thursday morning, the former Royal Marine set off from Land's End. More...
Are Koreans ready for a nude beach?
Gangwon province will conduct a survey this summer to find out whether Korea is ready for its first nude beach, which would be somewhere on the east coast. The move is in step with the recent "well-being" trend, said an official at the East Sea Rim Branch Office under the Gangwon provincial government. More...Reporters dare to bare in pursuit of a scoop
Most journalists would admit to doing almost anything for a story, but two reporters at The Argus have perhaps gone one step further than most - daring to bare in pursuit of a scoop! Two Brighton beaches are featured in 'Bare Britain', a new guide to nudist beaches, and to see what all the fuss is about reporters Rob Hustwayte and Miriam Wells decided to check them out for themselves. More...
Naturists bid for island strip faces cold shoulder
A group of naturists from the chillier half of the South Island wants part of Nelson's Rabbit Island designated as a nudist area. Although the western part of the island is sometimes used by naturists, the Tasman District Council is likely to rebuff the request. Last month the council received a letter sent on behalf of 36 people from Christchurch and Dunedin - and one couple from Auckland - questioning whether the area was officially recognised as a nudist area, and if it wasn't, whether it could be designated as such. More...Airport Nudists
Whether you like it or not, technology is about to make you a nudist. The Parent Television Council and other like-minded groups assert that there's a slippery slope that begins with acceptance of your body and ends in meth-fueled swinger parties. Actually, nudists and pro-life activists have a lot in common in my mind. Nobody wants to see either naked in the first place. More...Nude art shocks seniors
A group of nude bronze figures plunked down near the senior center has shocked retirees who have asked that the works be removed. And recently, someone covered the men’s "offensive" parts with boxer shorts and a beach towel. Fueling the controversy is the admission by William Vasiliou, president of the Middletown Housing Authority, who says permission was never sought to place Nicholas Baker Swearer’s sculptures on the lawn near the Community Garden, Spear Park, and the city’s elderly housing complex, Sbona Towers. More...Dive in to the world's top topless beaches
The French are credited with many great inventions, such as the bicycle, pasteurization, the barometer and, more recently, the 36-hour work week, but one cultural contribution that rarely makes it into the history books is sunbathing au naturel. Of course, the French were not the first people to frolic on the beach in a state of semi-undress--the Polynesians after all have been doing it for millennia. But what the French did was popularize it, to make it, as they make so many things, chic. More...
Doing it in the altogether is what makes this yoga practice altogether free from distractions
Some fitness fads require sporty gear and equipment, but the practice of yoga requires only the bare essentials: loose clothes, a mat and time to do the exercises. The latest trend in yoga requires even less. We're not talking about aqua yoga, done in a pool, or disco yoga, set to dance tunes, or "boga," boxing yoga, done with gloves. More...
Deputies crack down on nude sunbathing on public beaches
Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies are cracking down on beachgoers who sunbathe in the nude. They're patrolling nude hot spots at beaches that run along Highway 87 near High Island. Investigators say during Memorial Day weekend, a bunch of people went naked in the area. One disgusted person tipped off police. Deputies say anyone caught naked will be fined or go to jail. Supporters say a few people spoiled the fun for everyone else. More...Disputes about nude sunbathing still heated
Some people believe nude swimming is good as it helps get rid of microbes hiding in wet swimming suits and also helps fight complexes. But those who like swimming suits say that they protect the skin from epithelial cancer. In a word, this dispute about the advantages and disadvantages of nude swimming remains heated for many years already, and each of the sides is right in its own way. More...
Man performs act of extreme striptease in the center of Kiev
A decently dressed man decided to perform an act of extreme striptease in front of hundreds of amazed passersby in the center of Ukraine's capital, Kiev. An unidentified man of about 30 years of age was at first walking along the sidewalk and the traffic area of Leo Tolstoy Square. A little bit later, the man decided to sunbathe on the pavement naked. The man was standing in the middle of the square in the beginning of the outrageous performance. More...
Europe's first naked disco
A nightclub in eastern Spain says it will stage Europe's first naked disco next weekend. The club in the town of Corneall is said to have received the enthusiastic backing of local nudist groups. According to The Guardian, the Catalan Naturist Society website has plugged the event, saying: "It will be a place to have a drink, dance, listen to music, chat to friends or meet new people." More...Nudie foodie parties, the latest fad in New York
"Clothing-optional" parties have become the hot-favorite for New York nudies and is now the city's latest trend amongst nudie foodies. And keeping in with the trend on, the member of a club for the nudists gathered on Thursday for a stripped-down feast at John Barry's restaurant on W. 38th St., even as temperatures outside fell below 20 degrees. "It's nice to have something to do when it's winter, when all the beaches are cold", New York daily news quoted Ordover, 42 one of the participants, as saying. More...Increasing number of Dutch naturists
The number of Dutch people who regularly go nude in public is increasing. The Dutch Naturist Federation (NFN) said on Friday about 1.9 million Dutch people occasionally opt to go nude. The latest figures are compared with 1.5 million nudists two years ago, an NFN spokesman said. Most of the 80 NFN-affiliated naturist associations will hold an open day on Sunday. More...Face the bare facts, Anglesey
A nudist author last night pleaded with a North Wales council to give naturists a chance. Bare Britain, a book due out on June 5, singles out Newborough Warren on Anglesey as a nudist hotspot. But the beach does not have official nudist reserve status. And the book sparked outrage with the Countryside Council for Wales and Rhosyr Community Council. More...Page 20
