Big airfare sales for November and December

This fall, we have been very busy at the Terra Cotta Inn in sunny Palm Springs, California. We just had our best September in our history. Part of the reason we are so busy is we are the only clothing optional resort that caters to couples on vacation in the western US.

Also this October has been our 2nd warmest October in Palm Springs history. Everyone wanted to stay where with our fantastic weather instead of going to rainy Florida.

Where typical nude hotels are weekend getaways for the local Southern Californians, we have repeat guests from around the world here and are popular 7 days a week.

The airlines are kicking off some great sales.

Here is the story:

Airlines begin cutting fares for holiday travel
Good things very well may come to those who waited, travel experts say

The major U.S. airlines have cut many fares for the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

The airlines, in the midst of their worst year since at least 2005, may see the price-cutting as necessary in the face of a slumping economy that could cut into both leisure and business travel. Airfare experts say they typically don't see this kind of price-cutting until the last couple of weeks before big holidays.

Northwest Airlines started the rush Tuesday night with a broad holiday fare sale, and most other major carriers matched the prices Wednesday, according to Rick Seaney, chief executive of the travel Web site FareCompare.com.

"It's by far the most broad-based fare sale we've tracked in at least 18 months," Seaney said Thursday, "and this is the earliest I've ever seen one."

...Parsons said the cuts ranged up to 25 percent off the previous price for tickets that must be bought 21 or 30 days ahead of travel. He said travelers using secondary airports that typically have higher prices will get the biggest breaks.

But there are cheaper fares available on routes where the big airlines compete with low-cost carriers such as Southwest, JetBlue and AirTran, he said...

In most cases, the prices are good until at least late November.

Airlines aggressively raised fares and fuel surcharges last year and early this year but stopped when the economy slowed noticeably. The last broad fare hike was in early July, Seaney said.

Carriers would rather not be cutting prices now, but demand may be slowing faster than airlines can reduce the supply of available seats.

Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said this month that because of the economic slowdown, "the world has changed" and there is no guarantee about future booking trends.

"We know that fares are higher compared to a year ago," Kelly told analysts. "We know the economy is in a complete recession ... we've got to be prepared for a weak economy and weaker demand, which I think is destined to happen."

Nudist colonies on TV show True Blood

What is more trendy on TV than nudists at nudist colonies? How about vampire nudists.

Yes, the TV show True Blood on HBO which is a vampire show, had one of its characters say to a police officer that his parents were naturists and lived in a nudist colony in Texas.

When the cop followed up with a call to the nudist colony, it showed baby boomer and older nudists. The phone conversation made the nudists appear very simple minded and not like something fun that a normal person would want to do.

The TV character told the cop that he was embarrassed that his parents were naturists.

Let's just say this show did not portray a good positive image of nudist resorts. I do have to say they did also use the word clothing optional, so that is catching on more in the mainstream world.

Now if you have ever wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing at one of the top clothing optional resorts in the world according to tripadvisor.com, give us The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Palm Springs Indian Canyons


We have guests from around the world that vacation with us here in sunny Palm Springs. Although most guests just relax poolside all day long nude sunbathing, other guests are pretty active and enjoy hiking.

One of the nicest areas to hike is in the Indian Canyons. A newspaper recently had an article about the Indian Canyons. Unfortunately, you do have to wear clothes when you go hiking here. Indian Canyons is about 15 minutes from our resort.

Here is the story:


"Oasis in the desert
A trip to Indian Canyons near Palm Springs provides unforgettable scenery and learning experiences

If business or leisure travel leads you to the Palm Springs area, don't be reluctant to leave the perfectly manicured golf courses and swanky resort pools behind for a hike into the desert's stunning canyons.

The Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians welcomes visitors to the Palm, Andreas, Murray and Tahquitz canyons, a recreation oasis incising the craggy slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains.

It's a chance to learn how the Cahuillas, who once camped in the canyons, expertly used the plants and wildlife native to the area. But it's the unforgettable scenery that will inspire you, long after you've packed your bags for home. And it's abundantly clear that the region was an oasis long before Hollywood hipsters made it their winter playground.

IF YOU GO
What: Indian Canyons at Agua Caliente Indian Reservation. There are four canyons not to miss: Palm Canyon and Andreas Canyon each feature a lush oasis surrounded by stunning palms and unusual rock formations; hikers in Murray Canyon may catch a glimpse of Big Horn Sheep or mule deer. In Tahquitz Canyon, be ready for an arduous hike with the reward of a spectacular waterfall. The four canyons are listed on the National Register of Historic Places...

Information: (760) 323-6018 or www.indian-canyons.com...

The ranger pointed out ancient petroglyphs we might have missed and mortars in the rocks used by the Cahuilla Indians to grind food. From the peak of the trail, we could look down over the Palm Springs area.

The Tahquitz Canyon had been closed to visitors for years after hordes of graffiti-loving vandals took up residence there. The tribe hauled away tons of garbage and used power washers to remove graffiti before reopening the canyon to hikers.

At the top of the hot, steep and winding trail, we were rewarded with the stunning sight of a 60-foot waterfall and swimming hole where the stark canyon had given way to a lush, green piece of paradise.

On the trek back, our guide talked us into visiting one of the reservation's other canyons. Several days later, we took him up on his offer and set out for Palm Canyon, where we looked forward to seeing an oasis...

Rocky, cactus-studded terrain lines each side of a luxurious grove of California fan palms - the largest grove in the United States. The hiking path is moderately graded and there are ample spots to picnic.

The canyon's oasis bubbles here and there in shallow pools and streams, even trickling up through parts of the path. At one point we crossed over a rocky stream to continue our hike.

Lizards, roadrunners, frogs and other animals make their home along the trail...

Back to Palm Springs after Vacation

Mary Clare and I were in Hawaii celebrating my mom's birthday for a week. We are now back to work, so you will be seeing posts here again.

We had nice weather in Oahu, but not quite as nice as Palm Springs. We had rain 3 of the 7 days and two of the days it rained all day long.

Palm Springs has been having fantastic weather this fall. They said on our local weather station, this will be the 2nd warmest October in recorded Palm Springs history. We have been averaging in the low 90's, sunny, and low humidity all month long. I feel sorry for people that vacationed in other cities this fall and missed out on the best nude sunbathing weather in Palm Springs history.

So if you are looking for a nice fun vacation where you can try topless or nude sunbathing, give us the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Santa Monica Living Library makes big news splash


Santa Monica is trying a Living Library where readers can "check out" people and personally talk to them. What is cool, is they have 14 experts you can check out. One of them is a nudist.

Here is the story:

"SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- You know those people you can read just like a book?

Well, today you will be able to borrow one of them when Santa Monica turns its main library into a "Living Library."

Fourteen "living books" will be on hand in this trendy, liberal city, representing an encyclopedia of knowledge on such subjects as nudism, Buddhism and foodism. That's because one of them is a nudist, two are Buddhists and another is a vegan.

Library visitors will be allowed to check out any of the 14 people for up to 30 minutes. The hope is that library patrons will learn something about the culture and beliefs of other people and erase stereotypes in the process.

"A personal conversation breaks down barriers and connects two strangers who might not otherwise have the opportunity to speak to each other," said Rachel Foyt, an administrative analyst at the Santa Monica Public Library...

Hayden Panettiere sunbathing in Palm Springs


The papz took Hayden Panettiere's pic yesterday while she was at a textile hotels pool in Palm Springs wearing a bikini. Her bikini pics ended up on the X17 site click here

Too bad she didn't stay at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa. We do NOT allow in the papz in our hotel. Our outside doors are locked and Godiva, our German Shepherd does NOT like people roaming around wearing clothes, so our guests have total privacy here.

We have Hollywood celebrities here from time to time. I know Hayden likes to go topless sunbathing. Too bad she didn't decide to stay here and enjoy her privacy and end up with no tan lines.

Here is the story for the above site:

"Hayden Panettiere and her hunky boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia were spotted at the pool in Palm Springs yesterday. Wonder when the Heroes stars will get engaged? C'mon we know it's gonna happen sooner or later!"

And if you want to try topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938. We have lots of first timers as we are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in America.

Girlfriend getaways and nudist resorts


I have mentioned this before, I don't know why nudist resorts and organizations don't market themselves as perfect vacation destinations for girlfriend getaways? Girlfriends getaways are a major niche in the travel industry.

It is said there are not enough single women who go to nudist resorts. Marketing for girlfriend getaways is the perfect way to introduce more women to the nude recreation.

Of course a few things will have to change. One is you will have to allow women to go topless. About every 2-3 weeks we have two women who stay here. If they are not repeats, they always go topless sunbathing first. Most of the time after a day they feel comfortable going nude sunbathing, but not always.

Next, you have to have areas and/or resorts without kids. We have found disproportionately, the women coming here for girlfriend getaways, at lest one is a school teacher and they do NOT want to hang out at nudist resorts where there are kids. Since we don't cater to families, we are a perfect destination.

For instance, Palm Springs Life Magazine had a cover advertisement about girlfriend getaways. Here is the ad from an upscale resort here in Palm Springs:


"Travel - Get Away, Girlfriend!

Experience the luxurious life... perfect for the well-deserved girlfriend getaway. This is the time of year to take advantage of the finest shopping, pampering, and dining. Think massages and pomegranate martinis.

Start with a manicure and pedicure, followed by a deep-tissue massage, a detoxifying body wrap, and an invigorating facial or herbal scrub. Whether your visit is a girlfriend getaway or a special occasion, you’re in good hands here...

Refuel with a low-carb, high-protein shake at Body Factory in Palm Springs. Its shelves are lined with everything it takes to stay healthy. The Body Deli in Palm Desert offers fresh, organic body and face care items, including all-natural plant oils.

For some extreme shopping, take to the shops of The Gardens on El Paseo, a two-level open-air shopping center featuring jewelers, boutiques, and restaurants. The River at Rancho Mirage also offers fine retail therapy.

Rent a convertible and cruise downtown Palm Springs and El Paseo in Palm Desert or ride up the mountainside of Highway 74, enjoying the palms-to-pines scenic drive. Be sure to stop at Vista Point and take in the view of the desert floor.

Enjoy a light lunch or early dinner alfresco, catch a sunset for happy hour, or people watch at a sidewalk restaurant. Try a Pom Tini at The Falls in downtown Palm Springs and La Quinta, or Tropicale’s signature Hurricane cocktail in Palm Springs — white and dark rum infused with orange, lime and cherry juice, and a splash of 151 rum.

And be sure to visit Cold Stone Creamery or Café Chocolate for your sweet tooth. Go home a new, refreshed you — with a little chocolate fix!"

Everything they mentioned for a girlfriend getaway, our resort The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa could deliver. Why we even do our massages outdoors just like the resort in the ad advertises. We are the only nudist resort in Palm Springs that does outdoor massages in the fresh air.

Whenever we vacation in Las Vegas, we see lots of groups of 2-8 women there. I think girlfriend getaways is a perfect market for nudist resorts.

The purpose of nudist blogs


I like the academic naturist blog. I have it listed on my original blog http://terracottainn.blogspot.com as one of the blogs I recommend. That was a popular blog, but unfortunately Google censored it and I switched to this blog as my new major nudist blog. I am still working on uploading things here.

The academic naturist made a post which I thought was interesting. He mentioned 4 blogs that he recommended. I am honored by being one of the recommended nudist blogs. However, he makes an interesting comment "and the TCI blog if you can stand the ad's."

Blogs can have many purposes. Is is educating people on nudism. The purpose of my blog is to educate people on the fun of nude recreation and the fun of vacationing at clothing optional and nudist resorts. I use this blog to promote my resort.

One thing that many nudist forget is AANR, The Naturist Society, my resort The Terra Cotta Inn,are all businesses. We have to promote ourselves to stay in business and to promote nude recreation. For example when San Onofre nude beach was threatened with being shut down, it was AANR and TNS who led the legal charge to stop it. That costs money. They do a lot of behind the scenes legal work to prevent our nude freedoms. Yet, only 45,000 nudists are members of AANR and maybe 30,000 of TNS. They should number in the millions since tripadvisor.com says 15% of American adults have vacationed at a clothing optional resort.

Our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn is very popular. We have around a 75% repeat guest rate. We have one of the highest occupancy rates of all hotels in Palm Springs. However, I still always have to promote our resort. To have a nice resort with nice amenities in a good part of town like us, you need about a 60% occupancy rate to break even. That is working 80 hours a week and not earning a salary. That's just to break even.

Year round, we have around a 81-82% occupancy rate. Most nudist resorts however struggle to get people in on Friday nights. For instance Caliente Resorts in Florida mentioned one of the reasons they went swinger was nudists wanted to only book on Saturday nights, swingers wanted to book for longer stays. You can't stay open with 1night a week of business.

I don't want a swinger hotel, so for me to be busy 7 nights a week, it means I use this blog to promote my business. And it works. I have so many first timers who tell me they learned about us first because of this blog as they did google keyword searches.

And because of the way google robots index every post, I have to mention our resort in every post.

Promoting your business, especially in a recession is smart. The biggest reason more people don't try nude recreation is awareness, they don't know that we exist. So many people go to the Caribbean to Grand Lido, Couples, and Club Orient for nudist vacations because they don't know there are nice nudist resorts in the US.

This blog teaches people you can have a fun topless or nude vacation here in sunny Palm Springs. Everyone has their own reasons as to why they blog. Now you know mine.

Here is the original post:

"Missed News (10/2008)
I tune in to a lot of news feeds, and every so often I catch something interesting that the rest of the blogosphere seems to miss. I've started saving these items, and every couple of months I will post them here.

For general nudist-related news, I suggest Diary of a Nudist (and his shared news which is temporarily political), USAnudist, NAC, and the TCI blog if you can stand the ad's. Those cover almost all of the nudist related news. I don't want to repeat that news here, so I'm just filling in the gaps.

For the full post click here

So if you have always wanted to vacation at a clothing optional resort, give us a calla t 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

So for this ad, but it is how I keep our resort, the best value nudist resort in the US and and affordably luxurious resort.

Naked pictures and how to protect them

Here's an article on 5 tips to protect your naked pics from ending up on the internet.

I would like to add a 6th tip. If you are in a position that may be compromised if a naked picture of you appears on the net, don't take one! DUH!!!

The other thing is it is no big deal if a naked picture of you does appear on teh net. Mary Clare and I have many nude pictures on the net. I was still elected the president of the Palm Springs chamber of commerce. And I am a Democrat in a Republican business community.

My advice to EVERY underage child in America is DO not take nude pictures of yourself with cell phones.

Here's the story:


"Five Tips For Protecting Naked Pics


Naked pictures are a privilege….and a responsibility. Sure, to your credit, you haven’t dated Adnan Ghalib, signed a contract with Disney, or starred on a reality show with the rest of your insane family, so you’re probs not going to wind up naked on TMZ. But there’s always the rest of the Internet!...

1)Keep It Cropped: Especially if you want to get down and dirty, you may want to avoid including your face in the photo....

2)The Name Game: Make sure all your photos are in one folder with some nondescript name like “Used To Do.” Also, when titling the photos, use generic words or inside jokes.

3)Don’t Pass Out: Forwarding along the sexy pic to a friend may be fun, but trust no one! Secrets are sexier when they’re kept.

4)Flash: It’s best to save the files on a flash drive or CD. You don’t want someone stumbling upon them on your hard drive and portability is always a plus!

5)No Paper Trail: Do not print out the photos. Unless you have explicit permission to hang them up on your wall, keep ‘em as tiff files in order to avoid a real tiff!"

Now if you want to have the best vacation ever where you can go topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Nudist beach vacations - Should you try one?


A person writes an article, should you consider vacationing at a nudist beach?

I liked his answer, "just let go and enjoy yourself." Too many people are too repressed. The old saying when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Europe everyone should at least try topless sunbathing if not nude sunbathing. You'll se, it's lots of fun.

The other thing the writer mentions is vacationing at nudist beaches is very romantic. Guests always tell us that they have their most romantic vacations ever at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa.

Here is the article:

"Considering an Outdoor Vacation?

When you go on summer vacation, often you can be faced with the dilemma of whether to try out the local nudist beach or not. On one hand you want to just let go and enjoy yourself on your holiday, yet on the other hand the prospect of going on a nudist beach can be quite daunting.

Should You Consider a Nudist Beach?

If you are travelling with adults then there is no reason why you should not go on a nudist beach. It doesn’t matter whether you are a couple or a group of friends, going on a nudist beach can be a really uplifting experience and it is certainly not something that you should feel ashamed or embarrassed about. If you are going with a partner then you may find that going on a nudist beach can be a particularly romantic experience...

Overall if you are planning an outdoor vacation which will include a nudist beach, then you will find that there are plenty of options open to you. As well as experiencing a nudist beach, you can also experience the culture and history of different countries too. So if you are thinking of going on a nudist beach then you should easily be able to find something to suit you.

Nude in the sauna is the way to go

A clothing site was discussing should you wear clothing in the sauna? Naturally being a clothing company they said yes,

However to their credit, they say Europeans do not wear clothes in the sauna because saunas work best without clothes.

They then go on to say Americans however should use saunas wearing cotton bathing suits which are breathable. If you ask me it is pretty silly, why not tell your readers, the purpose of a sauna is to sweat, so wear nothing.

Here is the story:

"To wear, or not to wear; that is the question!.. Some people have no problems when it comes to stripping down to their birthday suits, no matter who sees them! The majority of the population however does have problems with being seen naked in public – even in a sauna. What then, is considered proper etiquette in a sauna when it comes to clothing?

I will never forget one moment in my childhood when I opened a sauna door and encountered a very unattractive, naked woman sitting inside. I quickly closed the door, and saunas have never been the same for me since! Granted, there are some settings in which you can go without your clothes in a sauna. For example, if you own your own private sauna in your home, there shouldn’t be a problem going in your birthday suit! Another example would be at a private club where the clothing option is clearly stated. In a public sauna however, it really is best to leave your clothes on.

Europeans have been using saunas for generations now, and North Americans only discovered them a few years ago. It is well known in Europe that saunas work the best when the user is not wearing any clothes at all, and maybe nudity is more accepted over there because of this fact. In North America however, nudity is not so acceptable! It is better to use a sauna without clothing...

You can get away with a very small bathing suit, or even wearing a towel wrapped around your body in the sauna. As long as the material of the suit and the towel is made of breathable cotton, you should still be able to reap the full benefits of the sauna. Some very uncomfortable moments can be created when you don’t pay attention to the kind of sauna you are entering without clothing – please pay close attention to this very important detail!

Ireland and Sex and freedom from religion

Hotel guests know I am of Irish ancestry. My grandparents came from county Leix in Ireland. I have never been there, however, we have had guests from Ireland stay at our resort.

Here in America, there are many right wing extremists who would love to have America become a theocracy. The problem I have always see with state run religion is whose religion does the state enact? Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Hindu, how about believing in witchcraft like VP candidate Sarah Palin? click here

Until about the last 20 years, the Catholic church dominated politics in Ireland. It was one of the poorest least developed countries in Europe. Then politicians started moving more democratic and Ireland became the "Celtic Tiger," one of the most advanced countries in Europe.

However the Catholic Church dominated Ireland so much they tried to prohibit Irish TV and of course, anything of a sexual nature on TV. Here is the story:

"Sex Factor
As a new TV series on 50 years of Irish nookie starts tonight, Damian Corless looks back at how our broadcasters have outraged the country's moral guardians

Starting tonight, TV3 is to screen a six-part series entitled How The Irish Have Sex. It sets out to chart changing attitudes and practices over the past 50 years using "real-life stories from real-life people"...

The Catholic Truth Society detested the very idea of TV in Ireland. Months earlier they warned: "More souls may be taken away from Christ through the Gospel of pleasure they absorb from television, than if the Antichrist would start an open bloody persecution in our country." As proof, the Society told how: "A baby was born in a taxi en route to the hospital, because the mother couldn't tear herself away from her favourite TV programme."

Irish TV's first sex scandal came in its second year when the station withdrew a sketch-drawing advert for Bri-Nylon underwear. Telefis Eireann conceded that the cartoon of Anthony and Cleopatra was "lewd and lascivious"...

For the full story click here

People forget that the Bill of Rights protects us from religion. The very first words of the very first amendment are

First Amendment –
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...

When right wing extremists were in power, (wait they are already. Great job managing the economy Bush and gang). When religious zealots are in power, countries suffer financially. They also try to outlaw as much about sex on TV as possible just like Ireland had. They might even try to fine TV stations millions of dollars for showing a bare rear end like on NYPD Blue or Jane Jackson.

Further, they will try to outlaw sex education so that 17 year old daughters of hockey moms get pregnant.

This coming election is a very important one. Our country has suffered for 8 years of lies and incompetence. We now have a candidate running for VP who is 1 heart beat away from being president if elected. Sarah Palin's religious views will make Bush look mainstream.

This election give a lot of thought who you want to be our president.

Best nude beaches


Nude recreation is becoming more and more mainstream. Even non nudist blogs are writing about nudist resorts and nude beaches. A non nudist blog just wrote about the best nude beaches.

And the blog is not a travel blog either. It is a news blog writing about,
Breaking News, U.S., World,Finance, Weather, Travel, Entertainment , Politics, Immigration, Prosperity.

They just decided to blog about the best nude beaches to give people travel ideas.

Here is the story:


"Best Nude Beaches


Nude Beach. The very mention of these two words often arouses feelings of titillation, embarrassment, outrage or even a combination of the three. For the thousands of people involved in the naturist movement worldwide, however, the idea of a nude beach seems, well, natural...

Below is a list of some of the best stretches of sand where beach lovers can shed their skivvies and perfect that all-over tan.


Top Picks
9.Montalivet, France

8.Ocho Rios, Jamaica

7.Wreck Beach, British Columbia

6.Samurai Beach, Australia

5.Hedonism II, Jamaica

4.Praia do Pinho, Brazil

3.Red Beach, Greece

2.Haulover Beach, Florida

1.Little Beach, Hawaii"


For the full story click here

Of course I though it was pretty funny that they wrote "For the thousands of people involved in the naturist movement worldwide..." It should have been for the 10's of millions of people worldwide who enjoy nude recreation. But, lots of people have difficulty grasping large numbers and just how popular nude recreation really is.

If you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing in a nice safe environment, give us The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at 800-786-6938.

We are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time. This July, tripadvisor.com picked us as one of the 10 bet clothing optional resorts in the world.

Nudist resort vacations are more affordable than you think

This was a great article about vacationing at nudist resorts. Nude vacations in the US and Europe, (the Caribbean and Mexico are way over priced) are probably the best vacation value around. Our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is probably the best vacation value in the US which is why we have such a high occupancy rate.

Here is the story:

"A Cheeky Vacation Idea to Beat the Credit Crunch!

...try naturism.

I’m not joking. Think about it.

Naturism (also called nudism,) is a leisure and lifestyle activity that is enjoying explosive growth worldwide, so much so that naturist vacations, or vacations with a naturist element, are now being featured in the brochures of some of the largest holiday companies. Its popularity can be attributed to growing awareness of its unique properties, including…


Nudism is good for your health. Its singular stress-busting qualities are well proven, and there is some evidence that freedom from clothes and connection to the earth and elements can protect against some types of cancers and other “diseases of civilisation.”

Nudism is environmentally friendly. You don’t need so many clothes on a nudist vacation, and taking just one less suitcase weighing 44 pounds (20 kilos) frees up 22 less pounds of aviation fuel, which saves 68.2 lbs of CO2 emissions. In a car, reducing your load weight by just one suitcase will increase your fuel consumption by nearly 1%. And that doesn’t begin to take into account the cost of manufacture and laundry etc…

Nudism offers a huge choice of vacation opportunities. Nudism’s increasing popularity has attracted millions of dollars of investment capital, and the opportunities for nudist relaxation and leisure are growing exponentially.

Nudism is fun...

Nudism is refreshingly different to anything you’ve ever done before...

In other words, naturism offers you a completely different experience, right on your doorstep! Which is just what we were looking for!

So, remembering that we want a credit-crunch beating vacation which still provides ample relaxation and the chance to “do something different”, let’s see what we’ve come up with...

But be warned.

Once you’ve discovered the freedom and joy of a nudist vacation, you might never want to try any other sort again!"

The one thing the story really didn't address, is all nudist resorts are different and unique. You do not want to go to a many of the nude places that are packed with single guys (unless you are a guy) for your first experience with your wife/girlfriend.

Women are normally very nervous about their first experience. Every week we have calls from men that took their wives to a bad nudist place for their first experience and they are asking our advice on how to get their wives to come to our resort. Sadly, you only have one chance. That is why guests from around the world fly to our hotel.

So if you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Nudism alive and well in Germany


It is nice to see the Germany still warmly embraces nudism.

"Expat life in Germany: Caution, naked cyclists crossing ahead

...But for many, it's sport with a difference. Some don't just choose to travel light - they wear no clothing at all. It's what the Germans call being "naktiv" or naked and active.

Naktivism, as it's also known, dates back to the early 1900s, when the German youth group, the Wandervögel, hiked around the countryside skinny-dipping wherever they found water.

A feeling of freedom: the emphasis on being active sets 'Naktivists' in Germany apart from traditional nudists

This prompted the idea of Freie Körper Kultur, or free body culture, and the creation of nudist beaches along the Baltic coast.

Nude sunbathing soon spread to some public parks, too. One of the largest and most popular, Munich's Englischer Garten (the name refers to the style of gardening), has bylaws to protect naked sun lovers...

Almost every weekend during the summer some 20 men and women, aged up to 70, expose themselves to the elements - and onlookers - on cross-country cycling tours around Bavaria...

Such incidents, however, are few and far between. Bavarian state television recently broadcast scenes of the Nacktradler being applauded, as they boldly biked along the promenade of one of Bavaria's swishiest spa towns.

"Most people we meet are either encouraging or curious," says von der Tour. He recalls an elderly lady who once stopped to quiz them...

Might this encourage expats to swell the nude cyclist ranks? I post a photo from the Nacktradler website and float the idea on Toytown, Germany's online expat network.

Printable comments range from "Gross, unhygienic" and "How uncomfortable" to "Can we make this into a caption competition?" I put some of these reactions to von der Tour.

It's more hygienic not to wear textiles, he contends, since clothes tend to rub against the saddle, causing sores...

And topless and nude sunbathing is alive and well here in the USA at The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA. We are perfect for first time nude sunbathers as we are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in the US.

Naturist artist gives great explanation for being a nudist


All the way back in cave man days, humans have drawn and painted the naked human body. Above is a painting from one of the grand masters.

An artist is being interviewed and gives a great explanation on the positives aspects of being a nudist or as he prefers to be called naturist.

Here's part of the interview:


"Q: What are the pros and cons of being a nudist?

A: Well, as you might imagine, being a “nudist” is something that is misunderstood, at least here in the U.S. I consider myself a “naturist” – that is, I think of my body and how it’s revealed in the context of a philosophy. Gymnosophy is an actual term that applies the opinion that the human body is inherently wholesome and proper, and that no part of the body is obscene. I believe that there should be no effort to conceal the body except when it is practical (to protect one’s self from the elements, as a consideration to others that are an accepted clothing only area, etc.). There is no practical reason to conceal the body in situations where it is obviously appropriate to do disrobe – at the beach, in the park, in one’s own home with friends and family, etc. If you think about it, wearing clothing does not really conceal what your body looks like. We can all tell – usually – what each other’s bodies look like, and what sex they are, with their clothes on. Clothing doesn’t really hide any personal secrets. There are only two sets of “equipment” for people, and the obsession with hiding our bodies only contributes to – I think – the unhealthy sexualization of so many areas of our culture.


Here are some random thoughts concerning this subject:
- I often use depictions of the human body from art history when instructing my students about their own work and their connection to their artistic ancestors, but, oddly, there is revulsion to the depiction of the body in a more contemporary situation, or a negative reaction when it is discussed that our students use the nude human form as a subject matter...

Since, when it is depicted, it is usually in an overtly sexual context, then that is (wrongly) the only connotation attached to it. I submit that this unhealthy and inconsistent attitude towards the human body is the primary cause of this disturbing attitude; i.e. that nudity equals sex.

- Americans seem to have a particular problem in this area. We seem to be ashamed of, and at the same time, intensively interested in the human body and sexuality. It’s this strange combination of Victorian era mentality coupled with daily use of internet porn...It also turns something that is inherently beautiful and wholesome (sex) and turns it into something that is forbidden and sleazy. There are, as you may know, many areas of the world that do not have this contradictory attitude towards the human body, and consequently these other countries don’t have the problems that Americans have with body/self esteem issues (especially in girls or young women), and don’t have the same problem with sexual crimes and disjointed attitudes (mostly by men) concerning what is proper behavior in a sexual relationship, etc...

- I go to beaches in the summer that are mostly clothing optional, and surprisingly (to an outsider) there are families, adults, children, and older couples – in other words, all kinds of “regular” people. There have been extensive psychological studies that have looked at families where children are raised in a nudist-friendly environment, and they found that these children are just generally more well-adjusted. They have better self esteem, they are better and smarter when in different social situations, and they are more mature and engaged with what his going on around them. In other words, they understand at an early age what is important – it’s not what people look like that matters, it’s what they do...

Most of the “clothed” beaches I go to are rowdier, more sexually charged, louder and more inconsiderate of the situation. At all the nude beaches I go to, they are quieter, more casual, more respectful, etc. More chill, you might say...

In my opinion, fashion is about vanity and shame and living in denial...

Our bodies are amazing machines that are ALWAYS beautiful and proper. An extremely influential American artist and art teacher named Robert Henri said “There is nothing more beautiful or profound or revealing of the laws of nature than the nude human form. It is among all people, not just artists, that a greater appreciation of the nude human form should develop. When we appreciate the nude human form, we will no longer have any shame about it.” He wrote this in 1910.

Nudist Resorts, kids, and 1984's Big Brother

Our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is for adults only on vacation, 21 and over. We have never booked families and their kids. There are plenty of other nudist places for them to go to which is fine with me.

We are a 17 room inn on 1 1/4 acres of land so we aren't big enough for a playground, etc. to keep the kids occupied and happy.

At our size, I have found you can not be all things to all people. I have found couples who are booking 1 or 2 week long vacations don't what to have to put up with noisy kids on weekends.

And families with kids, normally only want to come on Saturdays because kids have school. In my opinion, you can not operate a nice upscale nudist resort and cater to families. Noisy kids will always drive the vacationers which you need to stay in business.

Now it appears, there is another good reason to cater to couples. Art Linkletter said "Kids say the darndest things." Well they do them too. especailly these days with cell phones.

It appears cell phones are pretty dangerous in the hands of some kids as they like to take naked pictures of themselves and friends. I am certainly glad we don't have that "exposure" at our resort.

It is pretty scary to think some class clown can take a naked picture of themselves and get their classmates all arrested and charged with child pornography which just happend in a Houston suburb.

Supposedly, we are in Iraq fighting terrorists (wink, wink). President Bush said this about terrorists "they hate us for our freedoms." Well governments from the federal all the way down to the local level seem to have found the best way to prevent terrorist attacks in America. Destroy American freedom. Now they don't hate us. I guess politicians can now proudly say "Mission Accomplished."

I thought 1984 happened 23 years ago. Looks like Big Brother is alive and well especially the last 8 years.

And if you want to take a fun vacation where you can go topless or nude sunbathing with no noisy kids around. Give us a call at 800-786-6938. Visit our site at http://sunnyfun.com

Texas police arrest 13 year old boy for receiving classmates nude photo

As if the Ohio situation isn't bizarre enough, in Houston a middle school girl texted a naked picture of herself to classmates. What do police do? They arrest a 13 year old boy for opening the message and charge him with child pornography.

Why has our country gotten so crazy in the last 8 years. Maybe Republicans should act more like Bill and Monica, then they wouldn't try to be the morals police.

There are REAL child pornographers and molesters out there, go after them and let school counselors and parents deal with their kids acting up like in this case.

It appears to me that the police in some parts of the country have WAY to much time on their hands. I guess there must be NO crime in these cities. Or maybe it is too hard to catch career criminals, so it looks much better on the cops records to arrest 13 year old boys.

Here's this new sad story:

"Student faces porn charge over text message sent by classmate

SANGER - A controversy has arisen out of Denton County involving a 13-year-old boy, a cell phone and a text message. That message has landed the middle schooler in juvenile detention on child pornography charges...

But at Sanger Middle School, it has become a problem and in some cases, pornographic.

“He doesn’t know what a felony means. He doesn’t understand what pornography means,” said one parent.

She is a mother of a 13-year-old boy arrested Monday and suspended from school and spent the night in a juvenile detention center after an eighth grade female student texted him a naked picture of herself.

“He’s a 13-year-old child. He’s in middle school. He’s supposed to be out there having fun, hanging out and playing football, which he loves to do. Instead, he’s having to sit at home with mom and dad,” said his mother...

“I know some girl was taking pictures of herself and sending it to multiple guys. Obviously, they’ve still got their picture on their phone because they are now getting in trouble,” said Bethany Mitchell, a classmate.

So far only the 13-year-old boy has been arrested.

Police and the school district are not discussing actions against any of the other students.

More on Teenager arrested for sending nude photos over cell phone

It appears that the young 15 year old girl that was sending nude pictures of herself to other students has been personally warned NOT to do so. She is a foster child and it appears obviously is having problems with life choices at this young stage of her life.

However, to charge her with a felony and put her on a sex offender list for the rest of her life, definitely is over kill. Especially when teenagers convicted of robberies get their records routinely cleaned when they reach age 18.

Is the young girl guilty of stupidity? Yes. Should she send pictures of herself naked to her friends? No. But, to charge her with a serious offense in a victimless "crime" is insane. Sentence her to counseling. I would bet, she has lots of issues being a foster child and has probably had a very rough life (although I really don't know). This girl was not engaged in the distribution of pornography, she was engaged in acting out, like many dumb high school kids do.

Here is the update:

"Oswalt: Student specifically warned about cell-phone nudity

NEWARK -- School officials pulled aside a Licking Valley High School student and warned her about nude cell-phone photographs immediately after a presentation from the Licking County Prosecutor's Office on the same subject, according to a press release from Prosecutor Ken Oswalt.

A month later the 15-year-old girl was charged for allegedly doing exactly what she was cautioned against.

"School officials have reported to me that after my presentation at her school they specifically confronted this girl regarding concerns they had and they specifically warned her to take heed of the message she heard from my presentation," Oswalt wrote in the release. "Thus, this girl got a personal face-to-face warning of the consequences of this behavior."

...She is accused of taking nude photographs of herself and sending them to others, who also might potentially face a judge for possessing pictures of a minor in a state of nudity...

He declined to comment on whether this girl, if found delinquent, should be classified as a Tier II offender...

The defendant is a foster child..."

Naked Yoga

This was an interesting article about naked yoga. What I though most interesting were the comments.

Most of the comments sounded like they were from grade school kids. Here is a comment from a woman (supposedly an adult):

"Hell no. Sorry, but there are definitely people I wouldn't want to see naked, or to have see me naked. And I'd find it hard to get into the proper frame of mind with some guy's business dangling a few feet in front of me. Just the thought is making me giggle like I'm sixth grader in sex ed class."

My wife Mary Clare practices nude yoga and pilates every night. It is great exercise and keeps you limber. (Me I work). She says being nude really encourages you to focus.

I can't believe how immature so many people are about trying out new things. Or how they maek fun of others fro being adventerous.

You can easily try out naked yoga at home. You would be amazed at how much it helps you. (OK, I confess, Mary Clare has gotten me to do nude pilates with her).

Here's the story:


Naked Yoga: Expose Your Asana


I love practicing yoga alone or in a class, with friends or strangers, indoors or outside on the grass, but I'm not so sure I'd ever strike a pose without my clothes. Naked Yoga classes aren't anything new, but lately they're becoming more acceptable.

I'm sure you all have your visions of what goes on in a Naked Yoga class, that it's one big group orgy. Just because people are naked in a room together doesn't mean that the focus has to be on sex. Believe it or not, there are many non-sexual reasons people choose to practice without their capris and halters on. Some veteran yogis are looking for a new and different experience, while others are trying to overcome weight or body image issues. Some appreciate the clarity of seeing the instructor's body, and some just like Naked Yoga because it's "taboo." Others feel that being naked is very spiritual and healing, and the physical shedding of their clothes allows them to emotionally shed negativity and judgments..."

Ohio police charge 15 year old girl with felony for sending nude picture of herself to school friends

Is this crazy our what. A 15 year old girl sends nude photos of herself to school friends. Obviously someone reports this to another someone in authority and the police are brought in.

They arest this girl on charges of juvenile child pornography and have her spend the weekend in jail.

Now this is the best part. "Authorities were also considering charges for students who received the photos." I love it. You answer your text and it is a naked picture of a classmate and you can be charged with child pornography.

Now what should have happened is the kid's cell phone should be taken away. The kid should be grounded for at least a month. The parents should say to their daughter, "what do you want to do, grow up to be just like Pamela Anderson?" And the kid should text those pictures to the prosecutor so they can be arrested and replaced and let someone with common sense be put in charge.

Ruining a kids life over sending a cell phone pic of themselves, unbelievable. No wonder America has no moral respect anymore in the world.

And thinking of arresting kids for opening a text message, now that is sheer lunacy. That town needs to vote out their prosecutors and quick.

Here's the story:



"15-Year-Old Girl Faces Child Porn Charges for Nude Cell Phone ...

Teen sent nudes of self, could be classified sex offender

teen charged for sending nude phone photos

NEWARK, Ohio (AP) — Police in Newark, Ohio, have arrested a 15-year-old girl on juvenile child pornography charges for allegedly sending nude cell phone photos of herself to classmates.

The girl was arrested Friday and held over the weekend. Her defense filed denials in court Monday.

Police did not identify the girl by name and prosecutors promised a statement with details later Wednesday. Authorities were also considering charges for students who received the photos."

Marks and Spencer supports spokesmodels decision to appear nude in Playboy Magazine


Marks and Spencer is a popular department store in England. They hired model Lily Cole to promote some of their clothing. Ms. Cole decided to to a 14 page shoot for Playboy's French magazine.

Where you would expect an American company to be in an uproar and maybe even fire their model for appearing in Playboy, Marks and Sparks as they are called, defends Ms. Cole's decision to appear nude in Playboy.

Here is the story:

"M&S Defend Lily's Naked Playboy Shoot


Marks and Spencer have defended Lily Cole after her naked shoot for the French Playboy...

"Lily Cole is a popular, high-profile model who is very much in demand," a spokesperson for the brand told Sky News. "This is one the key reasons we have chosen to work with her. It's entirely her own choice as to what other work she accepts and we would not wish to interfere with her career."

Cole's 14-page spread was perhaps a surprise choice for the intellectual model, who is studying at Cambridge this year. She insists however, that she took on the shoot in the name of art.

In an interview which accompanies the photos, the 20-year-old insists: "Nudity has always existed in art and I think that, given the right conditions, it doesn't necessarily 'debase' anymore than it celebrates or represents the human body."

Naked right to work initiative


The right to work initiative story is a pretty funny satire.

However, the joke really is on the writer. In the south of France, there is a city called Cap D'Agde where in the summer there will be 50,000 nude people there. You can go grocery shopping, to the bank, to the post office, even to the police station nude.

Most male workers work nude and the female workers are also mainly nude. Although in restaurants due to health codes, cooks are dressed and the wait staff is topless (both male and female).

We have been to Cap D'Agde and it all seems so normal everyone going about life in the nude.

Here is the satire:

"Initiative to let people to work naked on ballot

While ballot measures concerning assisted suicide and toll roads have garnered the most headlines, a lesser known initiative has ignited a controversy between business and economic interests. The Double Cup Economic Stimulus Bill, or I-5309, relaxes the clothing requirements for several categories of service businesses. That is to say, it will allow all kinds of people to work practically naked.

The initiative sprang from the mind of Bremerton businessmen Warren Morrells, after three of his local "Baristas Behaving Badly" coffee stands were shut down because the scant work uniforms violated local decency laws. Rather than just paying the fine and moving to Sea-Tac Morrells coaxed enough signatures to get onto the ballot.

As written, the new law would expand the pasties-on-Tuesday concept to bankers, beauticians and bounty hunters, to name a few. Supporters acknowledge the template won't work for every business. For instance, naked teachers would be inappropriate below the junior college level and nurses will have germ issues...

15% of Americans have vacationed at a clothing optional resort

Tripadvisor.com is the most popular online travel network in the world.

This July, they came out with their list of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world. Only 2 nude resorts in the US were honored. We were one of them.

This comes on top of Canada.com picking us this March as one of the best places in the world to go nude sunbathing and AOL.com last year picking us as one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world.

We are the only clothing optional resort in the whole western US that caters to couples on vacation. We are unique, this means we are busy 7 days a week instead of just weekends like everyone else.

Last year a nudist resort owner paid us the biggest compliment we have ever heard. He said we have probably convinced more couples to try a nude vacation than anyone other nudist resort. We were pleased to hear that considering we are a 17 room inn.

Anyway Tripadvisor came out with their annual travel survey of Americans. Here is one of their findings:

"Fifteen percent of respondents have been to a clothing-optional or adults-only resort."

For the full survey click here

This year has been our best year in our business. We have found that everyone is cancelling their Caribbean, Hawaiian, And European vacations to save money, and they are flying to sunny Palm Springs to stay with us instead. Our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is considered the best value nudist resort in the US.
