Terra Cotta Inn on CNN Video for Guinness Skinny Dip Record

The Guinness World record skinny dip sponsored by the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) was held on Saturday July 10th. Here at The Terra Cotta Inn Clothing Optional resort and spa, in sunny Palm Springs, California our guests had a blast.

We officially had 53 guests participate. We're a 17 room inn on 1 1/4 acres of land. We're very spacious for the amount of rooms we have and our rooms are very large which is one of the reasons why we are the ONLY nudist resort in the west that caters to couples from around the world on vacation.

We didn't want to overcrowd our resort, so we referred well over 60 other couples that called to other nudist resorts so that they would have a chance to set a Guinness record too.

We had TV covering this festive, fun event. I now find the story of the skinny dip at Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs is going viral on TV. We've been on CNN, MSNBC, WGN, ABC, ABC, NBC in Los Angeles, NBC Palm Springs, San Diego TV, ABC Good Morning Phoenix show, Sacramento NBC, home Page on AOL.com, and I'm sure lots, of other places. If you want to e-mail me at tom@sunnyfun.com or leave a comment here as to where you saw the story, I would love to know.

All TV shows that I have seen have treated this as a fun, positive event. Our phones have been ringing like crazy starting Sunday as so many newbies saw the skinny dip video and want to try nude recreation.

If I was wearing a hat, it would go off to AANR for creating the BEST public relations event EVER. Good Job!!!!

I hope someone posts the CNN video on YouTube. I've been too busy to do so myself handling all the calls.

Great post about nude vacations

I just came across this post. Erich Schuttauf, who is the best director that AANR (American Association for Nude Recreation has ever had, is quoted in this post.

Now I am the PR chair for AANR West http://aanrwest.org This is a great link to learn all about nude recreation in the western US so click on it.

Some would say I am biased. Yet, I have seen good and bad directors of AANR and with no bias what so ever, Erich is THE BEST!

Now I do not say this lightly, as the previous director, did nothing to advance the acceptance of nude recreation. Erich is a breathe of fresh air and has done more to promote positive nude recreation than anyone I know except for maybe Godiva.

Here's the post:

"CNN) — “There’s something about being naked that makes a person forget a layoff, pay cut or a shrunken retirement account.

At least that’s how the promoters of nude travel see it.

The economic recession is “doing us a lot of favors, maybe because there’s the idea that if you’ve lost the shirt off your back, you should go nude,” said Erich Schuttauf, executive director of the American Association for Nude Recreation.

He added: “You go to a [nudist resort] and when you take off all your clothes, all the cues that tie you to the workaday world — the ties, the suits and everything — when that’s gone, your body says it’s time to relax. You get in that mode faster.”

While some nude-resort owners say they’re cutting back because of the recession, others said they’re on par with last year’s budgets or are expanding their services. Overall, being naked brings in big bucks. According to Schuttauf, the industry is valued at more than $400 million..”
