Vacationers warned No topless sunbathing in Dubai

Europeans love topless and nude sunbathing. All the beaches in Spain and France are topless. And many of the best beaches in Spain are nude.

It amazes me why Europeans would want to go topless sunbathing in nudity fearing and backwards country like the UAE where Dubai is located.

Countries like those should be boycotted by sunlovers until they join the 21st century.

Even here in America we have great nude beaches like Haulover beach in Miami to go to. Now I know that Miami is one of the rainiest cities in the US especially in the summer, and most smart nudists would never fly to Miami for a summer vacation, but then people can also come here to Palm Springs, CA to go topless or nude sunbathing. Palm Springs is the sunniest city in the US and it rarely rains at all from May until December.

At our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa,
we were picked by AOL.com as one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world and the only one that caters to couples on vacation in the US.

Here is the story:

"Keep your tops on, Brit women warned


Dubai: British holidaymakers have been warned they face serious consequences if they are caught sunbathing topless or behaving indecently in the UAE.

... The new advice says "thousands of British tourists risk arrest by not checking local laws and customs before they bare all abroad".

New statistics released by the FCO yesterday show that 24 per cent of British women have sunbathed topless,... - on holiday and over half of Britons travelling abroad have kissed in a public place. {Tom's note: these are jailable offenses in Dubai.]

...the UAE, wearing skirts above the knee is unacceptable behaviour that could lead to fines or official warnings.

- Making rude gestures is considered an obscene act can be (and have been) prosecuted

- Topless sunbathing is strictly forbidden and can result in prosecution or deportation.

- Kissing in public is an offence in the country."

It is time that westerners spend their hard earned vacation money in modern societies. Why give oppressive regimes money where you can be jailed for a simple kiss in public. If these countries want to treat women as third class citizens, why should westerners support them?

We have lots of Brits vacation at our resort. I would estimate about 5% of our rooms year round are booked by Brits as we are the only nudist resort west of the Mississippi that caters to vacationers.

Sheer clothing to be popular next year according to Forbes Magazine

Forbes Magazine reports that sheer clothing will be popular next year. Fashion designers are telling people that "less is more," and "It doesn't get any cleaner than a naked body."

If it doesn't get cleaner than a naked body, why not go naked? Obviously because then the fashion industry couldn't sell $500 sheer blouses and $1000 sheer dresses.

4 years ago, we were in Barcelona in the summer. One thing we noticed was on Saturday night, when you went out to dinner, how many women wore sheer tops to the restaurants. And they did not wear camisoles or lacy bras under the blouses like they would have here in the US. The women were braless wearing sheer tops. I would bet of women 30 and younger, maybe 25% of the women had on sheer tops. Women in their 50's and older, maybe 10% had on sheer tops. Now of course the Spanish don't go out to dinner until 10pm at the earliest.

The Spanish embrace the beauty of the naked human as it is legal to topless sunbathe at ALL beaches in Spain and some of the best beaches ones are nude beaches. So when you have a society that feel very comfortable with their bodies, it makes sense that when they "dress up" to do out to dinner, they still want to embrace nudity.

Here is the Forbes story:

"Style
How To Wear Nude Without Looking Naked

Front-row attendees at Mercedes Benz Spring 2009 New York Fashion Week were treated to a sheer spectacle last week as models strutted down the runway wearing see-through blouses, pants and dresses.

But these looks aren't just for show. Keeping with this year's less-is-more trend, nude-colored apparel and sheer fabrics are expected to be big hits both this season and next.

"The aesthetics are clean and not about ornaments," says Michelle Ochs, designer of Cushnie et Ochs, whose whole collection is dedicated to "the new nude." "It doesn't get any cleaner than a naked body. That's as raw as it gets."

...fashion is returning to a focus on the body, says Susan Scafidi, fashion and retailing expert and professor at Fordham University Law School.

..."It's a bit playful," she says, "and with the dire circumstances right now in our world, we need some respite."

This fall and spring, there are a variety of peek-a-boo items and nude-toned pieces available for men and women, such as transparent blouses, sheer sleeves and cut-out dresses...

...There has also been a move to a more muted palate. While neutral flesh tones have been popular in footwear and makeup over the past several seasons, they are making their way to apparel.

"Nude is a nice alternative to stark white," says Scafaldi, "and more fashion-forward than boring beige."

...Still, buyers who attended the shows will take into consideration what will look appropriate on their customers, Morrison says. In the U.S., we won't see these sheer items worn alone, and for the most part, retailers will carry items that show off just a bit of skin.

Of course in prudish America, women will not wear sheer tops alone. Europeans will though.
