Should you get a suntan?

Avoiding the sun because you're afraid of skin cancer is like avoiding drinking water because you are afraid of drowning. Both are necessary for human life.

Budget Travel just had an article about suntanning. They cite the usual medical and drug industry message of the sun is bad for you, blah, blah, blah, of course ignoring the fact that because of people listening to the medical and drug industries, 70-80% of Americans have an acute Vitamin D deficiency.

Here's from the Budget Travel story:
"It's the official start of summer, and as such it's also the unofficial start of tanning season. But with increasing research and information available about the risks of tanning, is that beach-bronzed skin worth the health threats?

First off, let's go over sun basics 101. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, sunlight consists of two types of harmful rays: ultraviolet A (UVA) rays and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. UVA rays (which can pass through window glass) penetrate deeper into the skin. UVA rays can suppress the immune system's ability to protect against skin cancer and exposure to UVA can lead to wrinkling and age spots.
The UVB rays are the sun's burning rays (which are blocked by window glass) and are the primary cause of sunburn. The Academy has this good tip: "A good way to remember it is that UVA rays are the aging rays and UVB rays are the burning rays." And note that excessive exposure to either form of UV rays can lead to skin cancer."

Sunshine is free – it has no marketing department for its life-giving benefits. If pharmaceutical companies patented and sold sunshine, the message we receive would be completely different. The American $35 billion anti-sun medical and drug industries have convinced so many people that the sun is bad for you. They have done such a good job that now 75-80% of Americans have a Vitamin D deficiency (I guess the other 20-25% are nudists ). And Vit D has been shown to help prevent at least 16 different cancers (including skin cancer), heart disease, and more.

The drug companies want to sell you Vit D cupplements which have been shown never to be as effective as your own bodies production of Vit D.

It is estimated that at least 600,000 breast and colon cancer deaths each year could be prevented in the US alone if we had more Vit D. Compare this to WORLD WIDE only 48,000 deaths from skin cancer per year. The risk reward ratio is way on teh side of the sun.

This information comes from The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology March 2007; 103(3-5):708-11

People don't realize that the American Drug and medical profession don't want you in the sun so they can sell you Vit D, all sorts of chemicals in sunscreen etc. It is BIG business in the US. And Americans are the biggest market for daily sunscreen, especially women under age 50.

In Italy, their dermatology association recommends people get at least 2 hours a day, maximum sun exposure 3 times a week for Vit D purposes.

As everything in life, use moderation.

So don't let the drug industry scare you away from the sun.

Hope to see you soon in sunny Palm Springs, California at The Terra Cotta Inn for nude sunbathing.

The Terra Cotta Inn Vaction Experience is Unique and FUN!!!

I just got this private message on Facebook:

"We spent our first [nude] vacation together at the Terra Cotta Inn for ________ birthday. It was fabulous beyond comparison, and you guys were absolutely hospitable.

You two are amazing hosts and we speak glowingly of you whenever the opportunity arises. Other resorts offer tennis, restaurants, parties and such (we've now been to several from coast to coat), but none of them compare to your level of warmth and hospitality. It really feels like a home away from home from the moment when you first arrive. In a nut-shell, you changed our lives for the better.

Here we are, almost three years later, AANR memberships in hand and with a different outlook on life. We live naked now, as much as possible...

In marketing classes, you are taught one of the words never to use is "unique." It is said that there are no unique businesses, thus it's an over used description.

Yet, as you can see by this e-mail we received we ARE unique. We average over an 80% repeat guest rate which is one of the highest in the travel industry. Nudists LOVE our resort.

The only people who don't like staying here are swingers, people who don't like others around or don't like talking to other people, snobs, and pretentious people. We always recommend them to another place in town. Happy, friendly, fun loving nudists love it here. First timers love it here too.

We truly are unique. Yes, there are other places out west where you can drop trou and be naked. But, none are as fun as the Terra Cotta Inn. And of course what our guest left off, is yes, there are other naked places that do have restaurants, are bigger, etc, but almost ALL are just weekend getaways. Who wants to book a week somewhere and have to go out Mon-Fri for breakfast, etc because you accidentally booked somewhere that pretends to be a vacation resort. How much fun is it to be at a place with multiple swimming pools and no one else around to talk with?

As the ONLY nudist vacation resort that caters to couples on vacation out west, we are busy and popular 7 days a week. That's why our repeat guests come from around the world to stay here although most are from all over the US, Canada, England, Australia, and Mexico.

So give us a call at 800-786-6938 to make reservations or for information. We answer the phones from 8am-10pm PST.

Khloe Kardashian has a nipple slip on Fox TV

As reported by US magazine.

"Khloe Kardashian had a prolonged wardrobe malfunction on live TV Tuesday morning -- unwittingly exposing her breast through a completely sheer black top...

Fox has since yanked the video of the R-rated interview from its site. But Khloe has no regrets!

"My mom just called me saying my nip slip is 'all over the internet!'" she tweeted Tuesday afternoon. "Ha! Is it weird that I love it?! Who knew nipples were so special?"

In an earlier Tweet (some fans wondered whether her account was hacked), the reality star supposedly wrote: "Thank God! I f***ing love nipples!"

For the full story click here

First, I bet Khloe knew something might happen by wearing that top. And I find it hard to believe that it was not noticed by the studio editors. this is FOX TV after all.

But, it does show as Khloe said, "who knew nipples were so special." Everyone has nipples. The only difference is the size, shape and color. What's the big deal? So ankles were considered sexy in the 1890's, calves in the roaring '20's, midriffs in the 1930's, nipples in the 2000's. Back in the 1700's women used to go to society dances wearing dresses that exposed their bare breasts.

Isn't it about time we realized bare breasts and nipples are no big deal?

PS, Mary Clare and I've appeared nude on TV many times. It's no big deal.
