Westjet has a major airfare sale to Palm Springs - Buy tickets by Midnight Wednesday June 3rd
I just learned Westjet has a blog. I will give you the link to the blog later in this post.
We love Westjet, since they started flying to Palm Springs, our Canadian business has sky rocked. We now book more room nights with Canadians than we do with guests from Southern California.
But that is pretty easy as we are the only nudist resort in the Western US that caters to couples on vacation. We are the only place that is busy 7 days a week instead of just weekends like most everyone else. Since Canadians love spending 1 to 2 weeks at our resort in Palm Springs on their vacations, they don't want to go nudist resorts where not many people around from Sunday to Friday nights.
Nudism is very social especially at our nudist resort. People love to meet, talk, go out to dinner together, etc. So you have to be a vacation resort to get vacationers to want to come back. And that is exactly what we do best as we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the travel industry at just over a 75% repeat guest rate.
Here is the sale information from Westjet's blog:
"WestJet has the USA on sale - travel until Oct 31
Book your WestJet flights to the United States by June 3, 2009 (11:59 p.m. MT) for travel until October 31, 2009 and save with WestJet's low fares to great destinations in the USA.
Sample fares from Toronto:
Las Vegas $189
Los Angeles $235

To go to Westjet's blog CLICK HERE
We have found we have a lot of guests fly to Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, and Las Vegas besides Palm Springs especially guests who are talking long 2 week to 1 month vacations. They drive around the Southwest and spend 1-2 weeks at our resort besides going to other cities.
I commend Westjet for having a blog. We have had one now for years. It is nice when big corporations catch up with small businesses in using social media.
If you have always wanted to vacation at a clothing optional resort, now is your chance. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Birthday Party at the Terra Cotta Inn
Yesterday, was my birthday. Here is a picture of a cake that a guest made and decorated for me to share with all the guests. Naturally, all the guests wore their best birthday suits to help me celebrate.
We had a fun BBQ yesterday. We had a couple here from Wisconsin. They had deliverd brats for everyone shipped all the way from Wisconsin. Of couse I grilled them cheese head style by soaking them overnight in beer and simmering them in the morning before grilling them. We provided the complimentary beer and side dishes for everyone.
It was so much fun. We were packed and sadly even had to turn away guests.
We have the best guests. They all love it here.
If you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, now is the time. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Some people in Maine are bent out of shape by a topless coffee and donut shop
A topless coffee and donut shop in Maine has been bothering some local citizens. One of the waitresses stepped outside topless. Read the results:
Topless Maine coffee shop draws ire, plenty of refills
... one man in Vassalboro, Maine, thought of it all when he opened a coffee and donut shop in February where the young wait staff, both men and women, are topless when they bring you your daily dose of caffeine.
All had been fine at the shop until one of the waitresses stepped outside still topless, forcing state troopers to make an appearance.
Star Cunningham... said she was only outside for one minute, and while the 22-year-old from Augusta admits to having no shirt on, she says she was completely covering her breasts with her arms. One minute was enough time, however, for an outsider to make a complaint...
Town residents will meet on June 8 to discuss an ordinance that will place regulations on businesses like Grand View. Though Maine currently has no prohibitions on either full or partial public nudity, the ordinance will list where, when, and how these types of town businesses are allowed to operate..."
Here is a mature comment to the story:
"Susan said:
A couple of years ago I lived in Maine and went topless in my back yard on a regular basis and nobody cared. I would also go topless at Popham beach and outside of few looks because being topless is not the norm nobody cared. It is not against the law to be topless in Maine; remember the topless lawnmower somewhere near Bangor? The girl was on the deck topless, so what! It is a breast, get over it, get used to it, stop making more of it than what it is, and stop hiding behind your kids; they probably have seen more breasts than any parent will ever know."
For the full story click here
This is my take on the story. Because it is a donut shop, cops are attracted to it like lemmings. Or like moths to light. Yet, their bosses will be mad because it is topless. So cops are upset, because they can't sit around all day long eating donuts and goofing off. (Actually, I know it is not true as we have many fine law enforcement professionals that stay at my resort. I do love teasing them about donuts however).
And the funny thing is is you go to Europe to the beaches most of which are topless and some nude, you will see many restaurants where the wait staff both male and female are topless serving guests drinks, food, etc. It is no big deal there. Only in English speaking countries do we make a big deal over nudity.
125 years ago a bare ankle was scandalous. Now It is no big deal. In the 1700's women of the royal court in France went to balls with their breasts completely bare. It was the height of fashion for a young woman to expose her nipples. Times chance, skin is in again, so conservatives need to get over the sight of bare breasts.
And if you have always wanted to go topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938.

Common sense about teen sexting
Leave it to governments to not show common sense. Many teens these days are sexting. I think I read that somewhere around 20-25% of teens have sent or received nude photos of fellow students.
Now what do school officials and district attorneys do when they learn about this? Many of them go ballistic and charge the kids with felony child pornography. Instead of telling the parents, taking away the cell phones and making the kids do public service work on weekends to break them of this habit, officials who are supposed to be looking out for the welfare of our kids, want to throw the book at them instead.
In an earlier post, I said it was time for jury nullification on this issue. Our founding fathers inherently knew that governments lack common sense. So juries are made up of citizens. One of their jobs is to determine is their really a crime committed. The last time jury nullification was in its height was during prohibition. I suggested anyone on a sexting case find all kids not guilty as the only crime committed is one of rgwue stupidity.
Now there is some more common sense on this issue:
"Report: Teens Should Not Face Child Porn Charges For "Sexting"
Cell Phone A new report says kids and teens should not face child pornography charges from sexting.
Sexting or the practice of sending sexually explicit or nude photos over your cell phone is just like playing spin the bottle. That's the latest from a new report on children's sexuality...
Researchers say, while this practice of sexting can have serious consequences, technology changes things for young people, and a distinction should be made between pornography and nudity.
This congress brings together 8-thousand researchers around the world to discuss social trends.
A previous report from a US Family Planning Organization found one in five children has participated in sexting.
The researchers say, to some, it's considered a harmless practice, and safer than intimacy, where pregnancy or std's might result...."

A famous celebrity that goes Beep -Beep has been vacationing at Terra Cotta Inn
Here's two pictures of one of our more famous celebrity guests relaxing at our resort. Her boyfriend Wile E. Coyote was over at the pool nude sunbathing when I took the photo.
The road runner has been at our resort for about 2 weeks. Every time we see it, by the time I got my camera, it would be gone. Contrary to what many people think, road runners can fly short distances. It would always fly over our walls before I could snap a photo.
In these photos, I was using a small telephoto lens as humans couldn't get closer than maybe 20 feet away to the road runner.
In the one photo, you can see the road runner running away from me as I was walking up to it. They can sure run fast.
It is amazing all the wildlife we have at our resort. We have sparrows, and mockingbirds, and hummingbirds, and ravens, and doves, and the occasional duck landing in the pool.
We have so many flowers here the birds love our resort (so do the guests).
If you have always wanted to try topless or nude vacationing at one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world (according to AOL.com and tripadvisor.com) give us, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at
800-786-6938. We are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

European Style sunbathing is trendy
Old Navy which is owned by the Gap is about as American as you can get. When they start advertising using European style sunbathing (which means topless sunbathing if you didn't know), I guess it means topless sunbathing is now becoming trendy.
Imagine my surprise when I looked at the Old Navy Sunday sale flyer today and saw the above ad which I took a picture of and posted above.
Old Navy shows a figurine just wearing shorts saying she fits right in for the European beach display.
Old Navy advertising topless sunbathing. How trendy!
I know whenever I have told people that our resort is just like going to the nude or topless beaches in Europe, they all go, "you're right, topless sunbathing is normal in Europe." That always makes them feel more comfortable. So does saying nude sunbathing is skinny dipping all day long.
Obviously, Old Navy's research showed that it is normal to be topless at European beaches.
So instead of saying "hats off" to Old Navy, I guess we all have to say tops off to Old Navy.
If you have ever wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa located in sunny Palm Springs, California is the perfect place. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for first time topless or nude sunbathing couples.

Anti nude beach activists find new way to try to close nude beach - Crocodiles
I admit I would probably put my clothes on and leave a nude beach if I saw a big 6 foot crocodile wandering around. And that is what happened in Australia this week as a croc decided it wanted to go nude sunbathing too at the local nude beach in Darwin.
I bet anti nude beach activist invited that crocodile to vacation there.
Here's the story:
A trap will be set at a small creek in Darwin to catch a crocodile that was seen at the city's nudist beach at the weekend.
The two metre saltwater crocodile was seen yesterday morning by a member of the public and by a ranger at the Casuarina nudist beach...
"It was in the water when they spotted it. It wasn't sunning itself."
He says rangers will set a trap today.
"A small one may rest up there for a little while because there is a little food source there...

And if you want a nice fun vacation where you don't have to worry about being eaten by crocodiles, then come to our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa located in sunny Palm Springs, California.

National Tourism Week is May 9th - 17th in the US - Support the US Travel industry by vacationing only in America this year
Last year and this year have been pretty tough because of the recession. It has been especially tough in the travel industry and the nudist resort industry. Some nudist resorts and campgrounds have gone out of business or filed for bankruptcy. One big nudist resort in Florida decided that nudists were not supporting them, so they changed their marketing strtegy to cater to swingers instead of nudists.
Luckily, we have done OK. Last year we were the ONLY hotel in all Palm Springs that was up in sales. But, then we have always been the only nudist resort in the western US that catered to couples on vacation. There are a number of nice weekend getaways for locals to go to on Saturday nights. However, if you want to getaway for more than just a Saturday night, and you like staying at a popular resort where you can meet people from around the world everyday of the week, we are the place for you.
I have been saying that American nudists need to support American nudist resorts this year. People always ask, "why aren't there more nudist resorts in the US?"
My answer is people need to stop going to non nudist owned places in the Caribbean and Mexico. The reason there aren't more nudist resorts in the US is many Americans don't support them. They are the reason.
I am also always surprised when people tell me that they just got back from a week long vacation in St. Martin for instance where they spent over $10,000 for a week, yet they tell me they can't join AANR (the major nudist organization that protects nudist rights in the US) because membership is too expensive.
I was reading up about National Tourism Week. It starts this week May 9 - 17th. It promotes what I have been telling people. Support your fellow Americans. Vacation in the US this year!
The tourist industry in the US has 7.7 million employees. Every dollar you spend in the US, goes directly into our communities. Further, every dollar you spend at a nudist resort in the US directly helps nudism in America. When you stay in Mexico or the Caribbean at a topless or nude place, they are not owned by nudists (except Sorobon and Club Orient).
The money you spend in Mexico and the Caribbean go to big impersonal corporations that don't care about nudism. You are just another dollar to them. This is one of the reasons why those places overcharge nudists for their rooms compared to non nudists.
This is the year to help the American nudist economy by vacationing only at American or Canadian nudist resorts. If you want more options to enjoy nude recreation, it is important to support your local club, nudist resort like ours, and nudist organizations like the American Association for Nude Recreation (ANNR), etc.
Here is some information about National Tourism Week:
"History of National Travel and Tourism Week
National Travel and Tourism Week was established as National Tourism Week in 1983 when the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution designating the week to be celebrated in May 1984. In a White House ceremony, President Ronald Reagan signed a Presidential Proclamation urging citizens to observe the week with "the appropriate ceremonies and activities." Industry leaders and public relations professionals from the major travel and tourism trade associations were the first volunteers to manage the annual event. By January 1986 industry leaders had formed a permanent full-time office at the U.S. Travel Association to sponsor the event and expand tourism awareness into year-round programs."

This is the year to help the American nudist economy by vacationing only at American or Canadian nudist resorts. If you want more options to enjoy nude recreation, it is important to support your local club, nudist resort like ours, and nudist organizations like the American Association for Nude Recreation (ANNR), etc.
Here is some information about National Tourism Week:
"History of National Travel and Tourism Week
National Travel and Tourism Week was established as National Tourism Week in 1983 when the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution designating the week to be celebrated in May 1984. In a White House ceremony, President Ronald Reagan signed a Presidential Proclamation urging citizens to observe the week with "the appropriate ceremonies and activities." Industry leaders and public relations professionals from the major travel and tourism trade associations were the first volunteers to manage the annual event. By January 1986 industry leaders had formed a permanent full-time office at the U.S. Travel Association to sponsor the event and expand tourism awareness into year-round programs."

We hope to see you this year in sunny Palm Springs!

AANR has a blog
Blogging is one of the best ways to let people know what is happening in the world of nude recreation and at specific resorts.
We have had this blog for 3 years. We have a round 1000 people per day look at this blog. We used to average around 3-4,000 people per day read the blog until google decided to censure blogspot blogs that had nudity.
AANR, the American Association for Nude Recreation which is the national organization for nudists that help protect our nudist resorts has now decided to start a blog. It is located here: http://blog.aanr.com/
I congratulate AANR for doing this. Blogs are a major investment of time. However, they are one of the best ways to teach people about what you are selling. And yes, AANR is selling something. They are selling the concept that nude recreation and nude sunbathing are fun experiences.
We are both personally and corporately members of AANR. I recommend everyone join this fine organization.
Good job AANR.

Happy World Nude Gardening Day
Today, May 2nd is the 5th anniversary of World nude gardening day started in England. I can't think of a better set of work clothes for gardening than your birthday suit (unless you are working around thorny plants).
Here's the story:
World Nude Gardening Day May 2
...Why garden naked? First of all, it's fun! Second only to swimming, gardening is at the top of the list of family-friendly activities people are most ready to consider doing nude. Moreover, our culture needs to move toward a healthy sense of both body acceptance and our relation to the natural environment. Gardening naked is not only a simple joy, it reminds us--even if only for those few sunkissed minutes--that we can be honest with who we are as humans and as part of this planet.
"The body seems to feel beauty when exposed to it as it feels the campfire or sunshine, entering not by the eyes alone, but equally through all one's flesh like radiant heat, making a passionate ecstatic pleasure glow not explainable."
- John Muir, founder of The Sierra Club
So what should you do? First of all, on May 2, 2008 find an opportunity to get naked and do some gardening... Just get naked and make your part of the botanical world a healthier and more attractive place.
Secondly, tell someone about your experience. No one owns this event, so it does not really matter whom you tell, but tell someone . Tell your friends about your day of naked gardening; write down what you thought of it and email it to your local newspaper; post your thoughts and images onto an Internet site; submit stories and photos to your club newsletter.
Thirdly, make naturism a part of your life. Once you experience the freedom of gardening nude, try skinnydipping. The naturist lifestyle is one that brings one closer to the environment, reduces stress and tension and can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle."

This article is so correct. Doing activities in the nude is just a great, fun experience. Everyone should try it.
The singer Shakira says her favorite thing to do when she gets home is take of her clothes and go naked gardening. She says it is the best way that she relaxes.
In these stressful times, vacation without your clothes is the perfect way to relax and de-stress. And our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is the perfect place to vacation at. We are the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the world and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.
Give us a call at 800-786-6938 if you have questions or to make reservations.
