The Emmy award winning TV Show The Doctors discusses Nude Recreation Friday

The Doctors TV show is shown nationally in the US and Canada. Tomorrow, Friday, February 18th they will air a segment called "The Naked Truth About your Health."

Their promo says:

"The Naked Truth about Your Health

It’s time to get comfortable in your own skin and uncover the truth about your body. Learn the risks and benefits of hot tub skinny dipping, take a peak into the lifestyle of a nudist couple and discover which foods help you look better naked!"

The risk they mentioned was people with high blood pressure should not spend much time in a hot tub, which is good advice. Our segment was very positive.

Here is the link: http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/show_page/D3099 To find what time it airs in your town, click here: http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/local_listings

Tom and I were guests on the show. Our segment was filmed for about 15 minutes which will be edited to maybe 4-5 minutes. So we anxiously are looking forward to see how they edit our segment. We were invited on the show as the experts about nudist resorts since our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs is so popular.

During the show, one doctor admitted going to nudist resorts in the Caribbean, and all 4 doctors said "skinny dipping, yes!"

Now the part in the promo about the couple throwing off their clothes from behind the sofa was not part of the original filming. it will be interesting if anything "else" is added.

Hopefully those parts will be included in the show.

I hope everyone enjoys it.

Nude Vodka has a drink called The Skinny Dip

I had e-mailed with the Nude Vodka company a couple of years ago about trying to do some cross promotions. Discussions never want anywhere. Now John Elway is an investor in the company.

I think a PERFECT marriage would be Nude Vodka and nudist resorts, especially ours since it's my idea .

Since we're the most mainstream clothing optional resort and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time, we would be perfect as we would be a very comfortable fit.

Our coverage of the Guinness World record Skinny Dip was around the world on ABC, NBC, and CBS. Along with WGN, MSNBC, and CNN.

Here's the video clip from CNN: http://bit.ly/SkinnyDipVideoCNN

Just imagine if everyone said they were sipping Nude Vodka's Skinny Dip when they set the record.

Here's their recipe for the Skinny Dip:

"Skinny Dip
3 ½ oz. of NUDE Vodka
2 oz. of San Pelligrino
Splash of lime juice

Combine all three contents into rocks glass over ice.
(Garnish – a lime wedge)"

I tried the drink and it's very refreshing especially sipping on it while skinny dipping in the pool.

To see more nude Vodka drinks, go to their site at http://nudespirits.com/nude_vodka_mixology.htm

Next year's Guinness Book of Records Skinny Dip will be held in July, 2011. I hope to hear from Nude Vodka by then.

The above photo is a beer that partnered with AANR for their annual convention. If a beer company can see the benefits of cross promotions, I would hope Nude Vodka would too.

Have a Happy Naked Memorial Day Everyone!

We hope everyone has a HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

What a great Memorial Day holiday we’ve been having. Plenty of beer, hamburgers, hot dogs and naked guests.

Yep, the only way to celebrate a holiday, or any day of the week for that matter is NAKED!!!

Here in sunny Palm Springs, California we were 95F and not a cloud in the sky. Perfect, topless and nude sunbathing weather.

We’re from Chicago, from a neighborhood called Logan Square named after General Logan who created “Decoration Day” which became Memorial Day. We know the true reason for Memorial Day. It is to memorialize all the brave soldiers that have paid the ultimate price to preserve our freedom.

Yes, this weekend is a fun time of picnics, BBQ’s and skinny dipping, but also take a moment to remember all the brave young men and women past and present protecting us.

Hope everyone has a fun, safe holiday.

Skin is In - Happy National Nude Day July 14th, 2009

Nude Recreation Week is coming to a close. It has been a great week as far as positive PR for nude recreation.

The American Association for Nude Recreation has done a fantastic job in positively promoting the joys of skinny dipping. Their idea for the Guinness World Record in North America for skinny dipping was brilliant.

National Nude Day reminds everyone who much fun you can have enjoying life in the nude.

If you work at home, work in the nude tomorrow. If you have to wear clothes then skinny dip in your back yard if you have a pool. If you don't have access to a pool, relax in your home in the nude when you get off of work. Go to sleep in the nude.

The human body is a wonderful thing. People need to realize that there is nothing to be ashamed of by not wearing clothes. In Europe, most beaches are topless and many are nude. Slowly the US is catching up to Europe in realizing Nude does not have to mean Lewd.

So enjoy life Au Naturel Tomorrow.

16 more hours until the World Record Skinny Dip Saturday July 11th

All of our guests are so excited to set the Guinness record for skinny dipping tomorrow. They can't wait. And we're excited too.

The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) has created a marketing coup. All over the internet, on radio and TV stations, and in newspapers all you are reading and hearing about is The AANR/ Guinness Book of World Records skinny dipping record this Saturday July 11th.

Here is sunny Palm Springs, California our resort The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is participating. We are full for this fun event.

We have been written about in our local newspaper the Desert Sun. Our local NBC TV affiliate, KMIR has also been to our resort to cover the pre-event.

Today the record setting skinny dipping story was a front page story in the USA Today newspaper weekend section.

As always, our guests comfort comes first at our resort. We have already turned away in excess of 100 couples wanting just to show up for the day.

I was interviewed on a LA area radio station earlier today. The DJ said "so everyone is invited to come down to Terra Cotta Inn tomorrow and jump in you pool naked at noon, right?" I said no, it will only be for hotel guests and 10 couples for day use. We are full. I don't want to over crowd my hotel with hundreds of people so that there is no space for guests to enjoy our beautiful facilities. It is supposed to be a fun event, not a cattle call."

The DJ said "come on, you honestly expect me to believe in this economy you're going to turn away paying customers that want to hang out at your resort for the skinny dip?" I said, "Yep your right. Would you want to be some place where there was no shade, wall to wall people, no pool chairs, etc. just because management was greedy and overbooked a special event? I want our guests to have fun which is why we are having an ice cream social to celebrate. You can't have fun if you are crammed in like a sardine."

The DJ said, "that's a pretty cool. Your place sounds like a nice place. I'll have to talk to my wife. I hope we'll go there someday." And I hope they do as we are very popular with first timers.

In most industries, they always say, bigger does not mean better. And it is especially true in the hotel industry. That is why for instance, we have the highest occupancy rates of ALL hotels in Palm Springs in the summer time. We are a 17 room inn, yet we will bring in almost 1.0% of the city of Palm Springs' bed tax in the summer, we are that busy and popular.

And this July, our occupancy rate is great. As an example, not only are our rooms sold out this weekend, we also only have 1 empty room this Wednesday and Thursday July 16th and 17th. One of the reasons we have such a nice resort and are such a great value is we have guests 7 days a week instead of just weekends like typical nudist resorts.

So if you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, we are the perfect resort. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Give us a call at 800-786-6938 if you have more questions or to make reservations.

Sorry we are full for the world record skinny dip. However, if you have ever been a guests of Terra Cotta Inn you know we we don't over pack the hotel with people which is why we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the travel industry.

We hope to see you soon in sunny Palm Springs!

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.

Give us a call at 800-786-6938 for more information.

AANR to sponsor the largest skinny dip across America

I just received an exciting e-mail from AANR. For those of you who don't know anything about this fine organization, AANR stands for the American Association for Nude Recreation. They do a great job of promoting skinny dipping, and nude sunbathing. They also protect our legal rights when governments want to trample on them. Our resort is proud to be a member of this great group.

I received an e-mail today from them. It says "AANR is about to embark on what may be the most extensive public relations and marketing effort in our history...

we need a major "awareness" program...

Guinness [world records company] has agreed to create a new category for the largest number of people simultaneously skinny dipping...

The media pitch will focus the attention of the world on the joys of wholesome, happy skinny dipping as an American tradition proudly supported by AANR and recognized by he Guinness World Records company..."

I predict this will get massive exposure in the US. It is to be held on
July 11, 2009.

We have been open 14 years. We are the most popular nudist resort for vacationers in the western US. Yet, everyday of the week, we still have people who call wanting information about our resort saying they just learned about us.

Here it is we have been featured in Newsweek Magazine as one of the best small business in America, featured in a Best of LA issue of Los Angeles Magazine as the best travel destination in Southern California (with a 5 page feature article), AOL.com picked us as one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world, as did tripadvisor.com. We have been featured on the Travel Channel, lots and lots of newspapers and magazines, and we are even the only hotel in Palm Springs that had a INCREASE in room sales and occupancy last year.

Yet, lots of people in America know nothing about us or nudist resorts. They have heard of nudist colonies and nudist resorts, yet don't have enough information to realize that some nudist resorts would be the perfect vacation destinations for them. The key words nudist colony, nudist colonies, and nude colony are even clicked on more often than nudist resorts on the web.

I will be keeping everyone informed on this fun event as I learn more.

This year change your routine. Stop going on the same humdrum boring chain hotel vacations where you have to wear a soggy bathing suit all day long. Come stay with us, The Terra Cotta inn clothing optional resort and spa. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Give us a call at 800-786-6938 for more information or to make reservations.

Going to nude beach and skinny dipping on a popular bloggers bucket list

A survey showed about 25% of Americans have been skinny dipping in mixed company. Many times people are too nervous to try a nude beach or to visit a nudist resort first, so they go skinny dipping at a secluded beach for their first topless or nude sunbathing experience.

There is a pretty popular non nudist blog called marcandangel.com that has an Alexa number in the low 50,000's. They just posted a bucket list of things they wanted to do before they had children. One is go skinny dipping and the other is go to a nude beach.

It is interesting that they note these are things they want to do before having kids. I think one of the reasons there aren't a real lot of nudists in their 30's is so many people have kids at that age and they don't want to take them to nudist resorts or nudist campgrounds.

In my opinion one of the bigger reasons nudism has not grown more is that nudist "leaders" insist an making nudism child friendly. If you look at the most popular nudist resorts in the Caribbean, they are all for couples. Our resort is for couples and we are the most popular nudist resort with vacationers in the western US.

This blog shows the thinking of non nudists. And they don't want to go to nude beaches with kids.

Here's the post:

"They say having children changes everything... Responsibility kicks in, compelling you to dedicate a significant portion of your time and attention to the best interests of the little ones. Combine this with the obvious physical and lifestyle limitations that come with age and it seems to me that there are several activities to check off the bucket list before settling down to start a family.

Here’s our list of 70 things to do before having children. For us, it’s simply about conquering as many life experiences as possible. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re getting closer.

40. Go skinny dipping in a large body of water at midnight.
67. Bare all on a nude beach"
