A Story from Godiva to brighten your day

Everyone who has been to Terra Cotta Inn knows Godiva. She is our 60 lb German Shepherd spokesdog. She is one of the most famous nudist dogs in the US having been on international TV a number of times. Sadly she is aging. She will be 14 this March. Mentally she is still just as sharp as ever.

The other day she told me this story:

One day old Godiva was out chasing squirrels. Before long she discovered she was lost. Wandering about, she notices a large young mountain lion heading rapidly in her direction with the intention of eating her.

Godiva thought, “Uh oh, I’m in deep doo-doo now!” I'm too old to out run that big cat. Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she immediately settled down to chew on the bones with her back to the approaching beast. Just as the mountain lion was about to leap, Godiva woofed loudly, “Boy that was one delicious mountain lion! I wonder if there are any more around here for me to eat for lunch?”

Hearing this, the young mountain lion halted his attack mid-strike. A look of terror coming over him, and he slowly slinked away into the rocks. “Whew!” said the cat, “that was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me there!”

Meanwhile, a clever rabbit who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby bush, figured he could put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the mountain lion. So off he hopped. Godiva saw the rabbit running after the big cat, and figured something must be up.

The rabbit caught up with the mountain lion, spilled the beans and struck a deal for himself with the beast.

The mountain lion was furious at being made a fool and said, “Here, rabbit, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!

Godiva saw the mountain lion approaching her with the rabbit on his back and thought, “What am I going to do now?” So she sat down with her back to her attacker, pretending she hasn’t seen him yet and acted very impatient. Just when the big cat was close, getting ready to pounce, Godiva said ”Where’s that rascally rabbit? I sent him off 30 minutes ago to bring me another mountain lion for lunch!”

The moral of the story…Don’t mess with the old dogs…age and treachery always overcome youth and skill!

Palm Springs had the best Nudist Weather this January in the US

Readers of my blog know that I HATE weather.com For some reason they always predict our weather to be way worse than what it really is. People in the tourism industry in Palm Springs always joke that Florida pays off weather.com to make people who don't know any better want to go to Florida, when they should be coming to Palm Springs for our fantastic weather instead!

For instance this month of January, weather.com predicted our weather probably 5 degrees colder than it was on average and predicted that we would have rain maybe 30%of the time. (There was no rain in January).

One of the good things about weather.com is they are truthful in telling us what the weather was like after the fact. So if they predicted 75F and rain and the weather
was 80F and sunny that day, they will be truthful the next day.

Tampa is the home of more nudist resorts than any other part of the US. Luckily for us, Mary Clare was born in Tampa. We knew how their weather just does not compare to the Palm Springs sunshine. That is why our resort is in Palm Springs. Unfortunately, so many people believe weather.com and think Tampa has better weather than Palm Springs so they end up going there in January and February and don't have as nice of a vacation compared to if they had vacationed with us in sunny Palm Springs.

I have here the weather for both cities this month. Here it is:
PALM SPRINGS SUNNY WEATHER THIS JANUARY
Tampa's weather this January

Let's compare. Palm Springs had 9 days of 80F or above in January. And 16 days at 75F and above. Zero days of rain and the 2 days where it said we were cloudy. We were sunny for about 5 hours on each of those two "cloudy' day.

Tampa ONLY had 1 day above 80F in January and ONLY 9 days at 75F or warmer. Also Tampa had 8 cloudy rainy days.

And if you look at Miami, they only had 4 days of 80F or above and 12 days where they had rain and clouds.

Now another thing people never remember is official temperatures are ALWAYS taken in the shade, so in a sunny city like Palm Springs it always will feel much warmer than it really is compared to a cloudy state like Florida.

The picture I posted shows what the sky is like when weather .com predicts a cloudy day for Palm Springs.

So next time when you want your best nudist vacation, with the best nudist weather in the US, come vacation with us, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA. Give us a call at 800-786-6938.

The first transcontinental flight was 50 years ago Jan 25th

Last year, about 85% of our guests came from out of state or out of country. As the only nudist resort in the west that caters to couples on vacation, because of jets, we have guests from around the world that stay with us. Although most come from all over the US, Canada, England, and Australia.

The number one home state of our guests is Washington. Number two is the province of British Columbia (that's where Vancouver is located). California is #3.

We cater to vacationers. So whenever you want to spend more than just a saturday night in sunny Palm Springs, we are always the first nudist resort people call.

The world has become a smaller place because of the jet for good and bad.

Here is a story about the first flight from the New York Times:

"Lobster on the Menu and History in the Air


The flaps deployed, the landing gear descended and the gleaming Boeing 707 touched down on New York asphalt...

It was a few minutes after 4 p.m. on Jan. 25, 1959, and aviation history had just been made by American Airlines Flight 2: the first transcontinental commercial jet trip, from Los Angeles to what was then known as Idlewild, and is now known as Kennedy International Airport.

It was not the first commercial jet flight (that was B.O.A.C. from London to Rome in 1952) or the first nonstop transcontinental flight (T.W.A., Los Angeles to New York, 1953) or even the first commercial long-haul jet trip (Pan American, Idlewild to Paris, October 1958)...

“The shrinking effect of the jetliner upon geography distorted the earth’s face,” wrote The Los Angeles Times’s on-flight correspondent, Cordell Hicks. “The plane’s enchanting quality consists precisely of its capacity to displace shapes, categories, images and events.”

The scene was straight out of “Mad Men.” Alcohol and cigarette smoke flowed freely. The flight attendants, who would have been called stewardesses, wore heels with their snug blue uniforms — “Most people wouldn’t fit into it today unless you were anorexic,” Ms. Breyton told a radio reporter in 1999 — though they were allowed to change into flats during the meal service.

And the food! No record of the inaugural repast survives (though Mr. Hicks noted that “breakfast was served at 10:15 a.m. over Grand Junction, Colo., cocktails at 11:26 a.m. over Des Moines and lunch at 12:30 p.m. over Cleveland”). But Ms. Breyton dug up a list of the rotating menus American offered on the route. Highlights included fresh Maine lobster with capers, filet mignon, herb-buttered fan tan rolls and macaroon ice cream balls with brandied apricot sauce.

Ms. Breyton said the menus were for first class, but, hard as it is to believe, Mr. Solon said that in those days the same food was served in coach.

Today, American’s domestic cross-country coach passengers may buy a 5.75-ounce package of Lay’s Stax potato crisps for $3, or, if they’re famished, an Asian chicken wrap ($6).

Of course, the ticket itself was relatively expensive. A round-trip in coach in 1959 cost $238.80 — that’s $1,743 in today’s dollars, or about 6 times the price of a bargain coach fare on American today.

On the other hand, the earlier flights were not just cushier but faster: 4 ½ hours eastbound and, because of headwinds, 5 ½ westbound. In today’s stacked-up skies, New York-to-Los Angeles flights typically take an hour longer in each direction — if they land on time. On Sunday, the first two American flights into Los Angeles from New York arrived 24 minutes and 85 minutes late, respectively..."

No Lingerie Bowl this Year

This story just hit the wires:


"Sorry Lingerie Bowl fans, no game this year

The big game won't happen this year.

Not the Super Bowl.

Officials with Lingerie Bowl VI announced today that the Pay-Per-View event, which was set to feature models in their lingerie playing football during half-time of that other football game, will not take place.

Steve McMillen, a spokesman for the event, said Caliente, the clothing-optional resort in Lutz that was set to host the game on January 31st, breached a previously agreed upon 'clothing mandate' for participants and fans, forcing them to cancel them the game.

"The league will not place our fans, players, staff nor partners in a less then comfortable environment that would ultimately jeopardize the mainstream perception and reputation of the brand that so many have worked diligently over these past five years to build." McMillan said...

The controversial event was originally supposed to be played at a vacant lot in West Tampa on January 31st, but was moved to Caliente after residents there objected. Several players later quit, saying they hadn't been paid their full salaries and didn't sign up for an event at a nudist colony...

"While this is a disappointing development for the thousands of fans that were planning on attending the festivities and the millions set to watch the broadcast, we feel ultimately it is in the best interest of the league not to place ourselves in what some would consider a potentially negative environment.", McMillan said...

"We ran into conflicts with the Lingerie Football League wanting more areas of our resort restricted to clothing-required than we could accommodate.", said Angye Fox, Public Relations Director for Caliente..."

Well Caliente will go down in history as the only nude place where lingerie models, some of who have appeared nude in Playboy, say they won't play a football game at this nude place because of the "potentially negative environment." Oh well, another 15 minutes of fame for them.

For nudism to grow, nudists need to support nudist resorts and organizations

Well, it happened again for the 2nd time in about a month that I know of.

We gave a tour today to a couple from Washington. They are members of Lake Bronson nudist campground in Washington and have been members there for many years they said.

They were in Palm Springs for 4 nights. They booked last minute to get out of Seattle's rain. They stayed at the Hilton.

I asked them why they stayed at the Hilton especially since this time of the year we have our special of stay 1 night, the 2nd is half priced and we are much cheaper than the Hilton. Plus there are other nudist places in Palm Springs. By staying at the Hilton, they wasted almost $375 extra compared to if they had stayed at our resort for those 4 nights.

Their answer was, "the Internet said it was going to rain. We didn't want to be at your nudist resort in the rain." Naturally weather.com was 100% WRONG as usual and we had great sunny weather this weekend. Also if it rained, you can still use our jacuzzi in the rain. And at the Hilton they had to wear bathing suits at the pool which they complained to us about. Imagine nudist club members choosing to wear bathing suits at a Hilton on vacation instead of saving money and staying at a nudist resort that was only 3 miles away.

I said to the people "wouldn't you want to support nudist businesses in Palm Springs in this economy instead Hilton which doesn't support nudism?" They got defensive again saying, "but the Internet said it was going to rain."

Do you want to know one of the biggest reasons nudism is growing so slowly or not at all in the US and why many clubs have closed or gone swinger in recent years? American nudists do not support nudist resorts or organizations enough in our own country. And these are the places that generate all the positive PR about nudism to grow the industry.

Immigrants support neighborhood businesses of their fellow countrymen. Gays stay at gay hotels and use gay businesses when practical. Nudists however are very fickle.

Now nude vacationers who do not belong to the nudist clubs or organizations like AANR support our resort. Probably 95% of our guests do not belong to nudist clubs or the nudist organizations. We work on them trying to get them to join AANR, but it is a hard sell. Because of nude vacationers, we had the 2nd highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in Palm Springs. If we had to rely on nudist club members, we would be out of business.

Nudists that already belong to clubs should know better and support American nudism. But, many of them do not support American nudist resorts enough. Especially since American nudist resorts are such a great value.

Further like at our resort, about 10% of the revenue we take in goes to improvements at our resort to benefit guests and we don't increase the rates. We have always done that to make every ones vacation experience nicer. Last year we had an 81% occupancy rate. It would have been nicer if it was 85% and guests would have benefited more.

Many nudist club members go to the Caribbean or Mexico to vacation at resorts that are not owned by nudists. They then go back to their clubs bragging how they spent $5000-$7500 for a week vacation. These nudist club members should be supporting the American nudist resorts instead and they would save themselves thousands of dollars at the same time. What they spend on the built in travel agent commissions alone for a week long stay at these places, would pay for 3-4 nights at an American nudist resort.

Caliente in Tampa which has swinger parties said nudists did NOT support them enough and swingers do. They have bills to pay, thus they cater to swingers. Nudists have no one to blame but themselves for Caliente's policy change

I do not know how to change this thought process of the experienced nudist club member. But, just remember, every time you book at a non nudist hotel or at a nude place not owned by nudists, you forfeit your right to say "why aren't there more nudist places to go to in the US," because you are part of the reason.

Let's make 2009 the year that American nudists decide to support nudist clubs, resorts, and organizations in the US. Only vacation at American nudist resorts this year. Join the AANR and/or TNS.

The one good thing about the recession is airfares are lower than ever. I have never printed so many airfare sales than I have this year.

One good site for last minute getaways that a lot of people forget about is http://priceline.com

The whole US is freezing. We are in the mid 70's and 100% sunny. Yes, even today where STUPID weather.com showed rain, we were 100% sunny and our guests had a fantastic time.

Rooms available at Terra Cotta Inn January 23rd and 24th at special rates

This is the last weekend we have our special of stay 1 night, the 2nd night
is half priced. You can do a Friday & Saturday, or Saturday & Sunday stay for this special rate.

Also we still have the stay 1 night the 2nd is half priced the rest
of January on Monday thru Thursday nights.

The weather has been great and weather.com has been wrong again as ALWAYS.
We were 77F and partly cloudy today. We did NOT get rain as
weather.com predicted. I wish I had an easy job like theirs where I
was NEVER right and got paid lot so money. Of course it is the National Weather Service. Sounds like our Congress appoints the weather people.

Anyway because of stupid weather.com, we have rooms available this
weekend. This is one of the few weekends we have left until June (or
until weather.com scares other people into cancelling last minute).

Weather.com is predicting rain Saturday and http://psview.com a local weather forecaster is
predicting SUNNY for Saturday.

If you want a great bargain this weekend, give us a call at 800-786-
6938.

Also if you just want to book the Saturday night, you are more than

More on the Tampa Lingerie Bowl

More about the lingerie models from the Lingerie Bowl looking down on nudists:


"Ok, here is the deal. I was part of their team. I quit because Horizon is lying to all of their players and not giving us the money that we are owed. I was not "let go" or "released". Horizon basically begged me last Friday not to quit. I am sorry to those of you that think that being nude and playing football in your lingerie is the same thing. Maybe you should look at our uniforms which are sports bras and boyshorts. Much more than athletes, such as volleyball players wear.

I love the way that people are so quick to compare us to strippers and nudists. Grow up. Get the facts. And get over it."

For the story click here

A lingerie model thinks nudists and strippers are pretty low life's. Hmmn. Looks like Caliente Nude Resort needed to do a better job in checking out the Lingerie Bowl promoters before hand. Or maybe they are believers in the old say, There's no such thing as bad publicity. I wonder if Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and NY Governor Elliott Spittzer still believe in that expression too.

Maybe they should change the name of this event to the Toilet Bowl.

I remember here in Palm Springs a larger naturist resort that always loved getting any type of publicity no mater how damaging decided to have Ron Jeremy the male porn star at their resort. Not only did they host him, but they sent out a press release bragging that he was staying with them. It was even picked up by our local newspaper, The Desert Sun. Naturally that resort filed bankruptcy a number of years later..

Now if you want a fun, relaxing vacation at our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa, give us a call at 800-786-6938. We are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for first time nude sunbathers.

Some Lingerie bowl players object to the game being at a nudist resort

Our industry has a pretty bad reputation when lingerie models object to playing the Lingerie Bowl at Caliente nude resort. Why do they object? They consider it beneath them.

Pretty pathetic that a woman who has posed nude in Playboy doesn't want to "play" football at a nudist resort.

The most ironic thing is Playboy TV did a special on our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa and it was one of the most tastefully shot, great examples of what it is like to vacation in Palm Springs at our nudist resort. It was so upbeat and positive on nudist resorts.

Well here's the most recent news on the Lingerie Bowl:

"Then remaining members complained about the venue, a "clothing-optional resort" north of Tampa where guests may or may not decide to wear pants as they wander the grounds playing volleyball, playing volleyball, swimming, or playing volleyball in the pool.

(This is all there is to do at nudist resorts. I know this from sad, unforgettable experience, having gone one weekend to a nudist resort as a dare taken out of boredom. You will never, ever erase the image of a couple in their 60’s hosing off their RV, each wearing nothing but flip-flops and a fine coating of benign melanomas earned from years of exposure to the sun.)

This choice of venue offends the fine sensibilities of some of the Lingerie Bowl players...

"I don't have anything against the lifestyle," Sky said, referring to the shift to a nudist resort. "But we as players were having a hard enough time dealing with and defending against the negative stigmas and stereotypes associated with the sport and playing attire before it was announced that we would be playing at a nudist resort."
This quote comes from quarterback Reby Sky, who posed nude for Playboy once. If your irony alarm is flashing double-time right now, consider this: Reby Sky was paid good money to take her clothes off, while nudists pay to have someplace where they can be naked. It's not the nudity she objects to; it's being on the showfloor with what she considers inferior goods..."

Caliente resort, Tampa Lingerie Bowl major marketing coup

Say what you will about Caliente nude resort sponsoring swinger parties. They are the masters of public relations for nude recreation.

In the fall, they asked for a polling place at their resort knowing it would be rejected and the story was picked up world wide.

Now they are going to be official sponsors of the Lingerie Bowl and Super Bowl Sunday and this story will have major coverage world wide. Mark my word.

This story will probably have a very positive impact on nudist resorts and nude recreation as it will make nudism look like it is fun and make it look like young people also enjoy nude sunbathing (which they do).

Here is the story:

"Lingerie Bowl To Be At Pasco Nudist Resort

Organizers of Lingerie Bowl VI have found a new field to play on: the Caliente "clothing optional" resort in central Pasco County.

The event, which features scantily clad women playing tackle football, is being organized by Los Angeles-based Horizon Production and the Lingerie Football League franchise.

It will be held Jan. 31 at the resort and will be between Miami Caliente and Tampa Breeze, billed as the "ultimate catfight competition."...

"This season will be the first in Super Bowl's backyard transforming Caliente Resort into a 'Mardi Gras meets Super Bowl-like setting' for football fans," the company said....

Because the event will be held on the grounds of the private 125-acre gated Caliente community, it won't require special permits, said Angye Fox, Caliente's public relations director. Off-duty traffic officers from the Pasco County Sheriff's Office will be needed.

Tickets for the event will range from $50 to $150....

The game also will be broadcast on pay-per-view during halftime of the Super Bowl...

My hat goes off to Caliente. No matter what you think of them and their affiliation to the swinging lifestyle, they are very creative marketers. Now with Florida's traditional bad weather in the winter, lets hope it isn't too cold or gets rained out.

Now if you have ever wanted to try nude or topless sunbathing in a NON swinger environment our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is the perfect place. We are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in America.

V Australia has an airfare sale to LAX

As I have been saying, airlines are having great sales around the world. Virgin Australia airlines is having an airfare sale to LAX. And sunny Palm Springs is just 120 miles (200km for those who use the metric system) east of LAX.

Every yearn we have around 10-12 couples from Australia take a vacation with us. They are country #4 in terms of where guests come from. At our resort about 75% of our guests are from all over the US, 15% from Canada, 5% from England, and 5% from the rest of the world with Australia leading the way.

The sale travel dates are March 1st to May 31st. You must buy tickets by January

When is it the best time to vacation in Palm Springs?

We get the above question every day. And I say the answer depends on where you live and how long you want to get away.

If you live up north in Canada, or the northern US, the best time to getaway is when your weather is the worst. December, January, and February. I always think it is funny having someone from Chicago, New York, Canada, etc. pick March, April, or May for their winter/spring vacations. It is finally getting warm in those months. Getaway now in January and February when the weather is bad at your home. You will enjoy vacation all the more.

Now if you live in the south, I always say getaway in the summer. Come to Palm Springs in June, July, August, Sept, Oct, or November. That's your rainy, tropical storm, hurricane season. Why risk a rained out vacation in Florida, Mexico, or the Caribbean in those months. We have lots of Floridians and Texans book their summer vacations with us as they hate rain on their vacations.

If you are from Southern California, I always say, getaway midweek on Sunday thru Thursday nights for your quick 2 or 3 night breaks (or book a week like so many other people as you won't find a more fun nudist resort anywhere else with our great weather).

We have lots of Southern Californians who want to come out on weekends. I think why fight the traffic, go to crowed restaurants in Palm Springs, deal with crowds on weekends, etc. Instead take a few days off midweek. Use your vacation days to take time off work. All Southern Californians that have come here midweek, never come back on weekends again (unless we have a special event) as they realize how much more relaxing their time is midweek in Palm Springs versus weekends. Also they say they can use weekends for household chores and midweek for themselves enjoying Terra Cotta Inn.

Now of course anytime you can get off of work, is a great time to vacation at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn, clothing optional resort and spa.

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

Hope to see you in sunny Palm Springs!

And remember, this year support the American nudist resort industry, vacation only at US owned nudist resorts.

Nudist vs Naturist, Nude vs. Naked, Nudist Colonies vs Nudist resorts - Words have so much meaning

Words have so much meaning to so many people and to others they have none.

I know of certain nudists and naturists who get all bent out of shape if you don't believe them that there are big differences between naturists and nudists. To me nudists has 7 letters and naturists has 9 letters. Big deal. Whatever you call yourself, lets promote fun nudism or naturism.

The same is true of nudist colonies and nudist resorts. Although I think the word nudist colonies is pretty out of date, I would never make fun of a non nudist for saying it. I would just say we don't live in colonies.

Now I guess in Louisiana they are going to have a panel discussion as to the differences between nude and naked. And god forbid someone get those words mixed up.

To me the old song, You say tomato, I say tomato, You say potato, I say potato...
Who cares what word you are using. Let's just work to make nudism more mainstream.

Here's the story:

"Nude vs. Naked: A Panel Discussion, 6:30-9 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29. What is the difference between “naked” and “nude?” Why does one provoke embarrassment, while the other inspires appreciation? And what happens when people get the two mixed up? While the nude is one of the most enduring and universal subjects in art, it has also proven to be one of the most misunderstood and, at times, controversial. Panelists will provide their insights, considering historical, cultural, and educational issues related to the nude in art."

And if you have ever wanted to go topless or nude sunbathing, or is that naked sunbathing, at a nudist resort, or is that nudist colony or is it naturist?

We were 84F yesterday and will be maybe 85F or 86F today.

upper 70's for the next 2 weeks which means we will be in the low to

Martin vacation just to brag to friends that they overpaid for their vacation out of the country.

to book soon. People are supporting the American nudist industry this
year and are booking their nude vacations here in the good old USA like never before.

Nudists are the happiest people around

Sunday's parade Magazine had a health article giving people healthy tips for the nude year. One was to get more vitamin D.

Here is what is said "A low level of vitamin D - the 'sunshine vitamin' - can put a damper on your mood. Depressed people had 14% less vitamin D in their blood than non-depressed people in a Dutch study...So load up on D: While you're improving your mood, you'll be helping your bones, too..."

So now we know why nudists are so happy and well adjusted. It is all the Vitamin D our bodies make when we are nude sunbathing.

And if you want to get more vitamin D by 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

A good resolution for 2009 - Vacation at an American nudist resort only this year

Here is the perfect nude year's resolution for 2009. Vacation only at an American nudist resort this year. Or join a nudist club or AANR.

We always hear from guests "why aren't there more nudist resorts in the US?" They then proceed to tell us how they just got back from spending $5000-$7500 going nude at a place in Mexico or the Caribbean owned by some big corporation and operated by non nudists. Some of these places are so overpriced they charge nudists an extra
$100/night for the "rights" to be on the nude side. And nudists happily pay this surcharge.

The reason there aren't more nude places in the US is American nudists don't support nudist clubs and nudist resorts enough.

Look at Caliente in Florida. They said they had low occupancy and were forced to go swinger because nudists didn't support them.

We are lucky. We have always been considered the best value nudist resort in the US and the only one in the western US that caters to vacationers, so we are doing OK. However, in talking with other owners of nudist resorts and clubs, many are really hurting financially.

So this year, instead of vacationing in Mexico or the Caribbean, vacation at an American nudist resort owned by real nudists who work their butts off to make sure you have a fun, fantastic vacation.

Support the American nudist industry. Don't spend your dollars lining the pockets of nun nudists.

Happy Nude Year everyone

We hope everyone had a fun new year's eve. We did here at Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA.

The weather was fantastic. A high of about 76F and nice and sunny. The resort was full.

Above is a picture of a table set up from our New Year's eve party. It was a 50's theme. Costumes are pretty easy, just Bday suits. Here Mary Clare is wearing her apron so that google isn't scared seeing her bare breasts and censor this blog.

We hope everyone has a fantastic new year.
