Then, as they acclimate to this new, fun experience, they discard the soggy bathing suit bottoms and relax like everyone else wearing just sunglasses, their birthday suit, and a smile.

Terra Cotta Inn is a historical boutique hotel originally built for celebrities. Albert Frey is the famous architect who designed it in the cool mid-century modern style. Lovingly restored, we have been hosting clothes free guests from around the world for the last 17 years.

Happy 1/11/11 from Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, CA - 11 Reasons to vacation here

Happy 1/11/11 everyone from The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, California. OK, I'm a day late posting this. But, taking care of guests at Terra Cotta Inn comes before posts.

Since yesterday was a unique date, 1/1/11 I thought I would give you 11 reasons to vacation at our unique nude sunbathing resort, The Terra Cotta Inn.

Here are the reasons:

1) Palm Springs has the best year round nude sunbathing weather in the US. We are a desert and average less than 3 inches of rain a year. Compared to much of Florida that averages around 70 inches a year, it’s no wonder nudists in the know only seek Palm Springs sunshine for their nude vacations.

2) We are the Best value nudist resort in the US. MSNBC in November 2009 had a TV show discussing nudist resorts. We were named the Best value in the western US. We have no hidden resort fees or secret membership fees. You are more than welcome to bring your own soda, beer, wine, or cocktails to drink here and save money. Thus, you don’t have to pay us $5.00 for a beer or $10 for a class of wine. Even our soda machine is only 50 cents a can. Plus, we give you a great free breakfast and free afternoon snacks, EVERYDAY of the week which saves you even more.

3) We are not just a weekend getaway. If you’ve been to other nudist resorts before, you will have notice most are just weekend getaways for the locals and pretty empty the rest of the week. I just read of one place that bragged they had people from as far away as a 3 and 4 hour drive go there for a New Year’s eve party. Well, we had guests from Canada, Australia, and all over the US at our party and they were taking 4 night to 2 week long vacations here. So if you are taking a vacation, we are the place to stay in Palm Springs! We are unique because we are popular 7 days a week, not just Saturday nights.

4) We cater to all ages which again makes us unique. We are like typical textile hotels and cater to all ages from the mid 20’s on up. Although since 1 in 3 people over age 21 is a baby boomer, we do have many boomer guests.

5) We are very romantic. Many nudist resorts cater to families with kids and lots of single men. We cater to couples on vacation. Thus, it is very romantic to leave your kids with the grandparents and getaway to be by yourselves and remember why you initially fell in love with each other. You don’t have to watch little kids running around screaming at the pool.

6) We’re the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time. Although probably 99.99% of our guests end up nude sunbathing, some women want the option of trying topless sunbathing first. We are one of the few nudist resorts in the US that allows that. Women love it here as we are so mainstream. They feel very comfortable.

7) We have the best massages in Palm Springs. Examiner.com ranked Terra Cotta Inn massages in the top 8 BEST in the whole Palm Springs area. Palm Springs Life Magazine in their Best of the Best issue in Dec 2010 ranked us #3 in BEST massages in the whole area. Both times we were the ONLY nude sunbathing resort recommended. Nudists who love massages, only go to the Terra Cotta Inn.

8) We were voted BEST Boutique hotel by Palm Springs Life Magazine in their December 2010 Best of the Best issue. Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/TerraCottaBestofBest We were selected not because we are exclusive and snobby. No, we let other places claim that. We were picked because we are so friendly and the guests love it here. We have just over an 80% repeat guest rate which is one of the highest in the travel industry. Now best is selective. We are not the best at everything. If you are a wild, hard drinking weekend warrior or looking for a sex club, we recommend other places. Once a month we have people take tours here who are staying at other nudist resorts in town. They tell us they won’t stay at our place as they like where they’re currently staying because no one stays there midweek. They like the feeling of having a resort to themselves that no one else likes the emptiness. So, if you want to go to a nude place that is pretty empty all the time, don’t book here. We cater to fun, happy, social people.

9) We are located in the sunniest part of Palm springs, California. In winter we average 20-30 minutes extra sunshine compared to downtown Palmn Springs just 3 miles away. In summer, we average an extra 1 hour of sunshine as the sun sets on the lower part of the mountains for us.

10) We are the perfect size for a nudist resort. Most nudists are social and love to meet interesting people. We have guests from around the world here although most come from the US, Canada, England, and Australia. Most people don’t like big nudist resorts as they are too impersonal. it’s harder to meet other people. It’s like staying at large impersonal Holiday Inn. And smaller places are cramped. We’re the right size. We have 17 rooms on 1 1/4 acres and rent out a 4 bedroom house on an additional 1/2 acre. We are the perfect size where people can be as social or not as they like.

11) Everyone LOVES the Terra Cotta Inn. From Triopadvisor, to AOL, To New York Times, To Vancouver Sun, to Chicago Tribune, to the Travel Channel, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and way more. We receive lots of great PR. And they always pick us as one of the best nudist resorts in the US or world. But, best of all our guests LOVE staying here which is why we have the highest occupancy rate of ALL nude sunbathing resorts in the US.

So if you want a nice relaxing, fun vacation, give us a call at 800-786-6938. We answer the phones from 8am-10pm PST.

Excellent article about women's rights to bare their breasts in public

In the late 1800's in teh US, the sight of a woman's bare ankle was scandalous. Then in the roaring '20's flapper girls showing off bare calves were considered "loose." By the 1940's women could finally wear skirts coming below the knees and 2 piece (not bikini) bathing suits were coming into style. In 1946, French engineer Louis Reard is given credit for "inventing" the modern bikini. And of course in Europe, topless bikinis are very popular on all beaches, especially Spanish beaches where topless sunbathing is legal.

Yet, if you look at the above photo, you will see it is of a mosaic from the 4th century AD of Italian women in bikinis.

And going back further Queen Nefertiti of Egypt and many fellow Egyptians enjoyed public nudity.

"Nudity in Early Egypt

A fascinating tale of early sun worship and nudity was unearthed in 1887 at Tell-el-Amarna, a small Egyptian village on the banks of the Nile some 200 miles south of Cairo. There, an Arab woman accidentally stumbled upon the baked-clay tablet archives of Pharaoh Akhen-Aton (1385-1353 B.C.). It was learned through the subsequent translation of these tablets that the brilliant young pharaoh and his exquisitely beautiful queen, Nefertiti, considered the sun, Aton, to be the true wellspring of life and thus justified the practice of nudism for spiritual and physical advancement." from http://www.primitivism.com/nudity.htm

It seems "modern" American society has forgotten how to enjoy life clothes free.

Today in the US, women can still be arrested for being topless at most beaches and doing activities men can do shirtless. But, don't forget, men could be arrested for being shirtless at beaches until the 1930's, because it was thought women would not be able to handle the sight of a man's bare nipple.

A college student from MA wrote a very good article about women needing to get the right to bare their breasts anywhere it is acceptable for a man to do so.

Here it is:

"If you’ve ever been out walking on a hot summer day, you know that sometimes clothes can make you unbearably sweaty and uncomfortable. If you’re a man, you can try to cope with this problem by taking your shirt off, and no one will complain. If you’re a woman and you do the same, you’re likely to get arrested.

In most parts of the U.S., it is illegal for women to go topless in public. Women may legally do so only in six states, and specific cities and beaches. If a woman goes topless in public anywhere else in America, it is considered indecent exposure. In Massachusetts, the maximum penalty for indecent exposure is up to six months in jail and a $200 fine...

The strongest argument for keeping women’s tops on is that women must be protected from men. According to this argument, men simply are not able to control themselves at the sight of a woman’s bare breasts and would sexually harass, assault, or even rape them. However, women are expected to cover their hair in certain cultures and religious groups. These groups believe that if a woman’s hair— a supposedly sexual part of her body – was to be seen, men would not be able to control their desires. Regardless of religious belief, though, women typically leave their hair uncovered in the U.S., since we don’t consider it to be a sexual entity. Even if a woman does have beautiful hair, men are easily able to control themselves. There is nothing inherently sexual about a woman’s hair, and similarly, there is nothing inherently sexual about a woman’s breasts. Both ideas, in fact, are mere societal constructs.

Other people will say that they aren’t comfortable with being forced to see women’s breasts in public. After all, not everybody has attractive breasts, and who wants to see ugly women go topless? Nonetheless, not everybody has a body that is widely considered attractive, and yet we are “forced” to see them every day – sometimes in shorts or a bathing suit. Finding someone, male or female, unattractive is not a viable reason for forcing them to cover up, or for arresting them if they refuse to do so...

Another pervasive argument against women’s toplessness is that children must be protected from the sight of breasts. However, breastfed children grow up seeing their mothers’ breasts, and it doesn’t seem to affect them adversely. Moreover, European children who go to public beaches see women’s breasts, and it doesn’t traumatize them...

Far from preventing sexual assaults, the law against women’s toplessness is part of a way of thinking that is harmful to both men and women. If we take steps to change the law, our society’s attitudes will adjust and such a change in attitude will protect women far more effectively than a t-shirt ever could.

It's still so sad that Mary Clare, if she wanted to walk outside would have to wear at least a tube top instead of being able to be topless. Hopefully, this situation will change for future generations.

British newspaper columnist writes, "There's nothing wrong with topless sunbathing"

Topless sunbathing has been in the media a lot lately. Especially with last weekend being the National Go Topless protest. Now a female British writer has written a story about how much she enjoys topless sunbathing.

Here's the story:

"There's nothing wrong with topless sunbathing
What’s so wrong with being topless on the beach, asks Bryony Gordon .

Bryony Gordon, Telegraph Columnist

Brigitte Bardot started the trend for topless sunbathing in the sixties.

...When I go on holiday, I like to sunbathe topless. The beach towel goes down, the book comes out, and the bikini top flies off, often in the direction of a startled looking friend who has clearly never seen a pair of breasts before. Seeing as I won’t be using the top to cover my chest, I suggest that instead they use it cover their prudish eyes.

Topless sunbathing is a wonderful thing, a holiday in itself from underwired bras...

A group of Australian politicians tried to ban it in 2008, with one Labour MP, Paul Gibson posing the searching question: “if you’re on the beach, do you want somebody with big knockers next to you when you’re there with the kids?” Well I don’t know Paul - if you positioned yourself right, they might just keep the wind off.

...Here are things I find far more offensive on a beach: speedos; “fashionable” swimming costumes with bits cut out of them; people who go for wees in the sea.

There is a time and a place for topless sunbathing, of course. As a spokesman at Debretts tells me: “You probably don’t want to do it in Battersea park”, and he is right; you want to be many hundreds of miles away from the constraints of your normal life.

Melissa Obadash, a swimwear designer, lived in Italy during her twenties and says she “always sunbathed topless. It was absolutely normal, it is normal. But you can’t do it in America. I once tried on a beach in Miami but the police came over and told me to cover up. I think it’s a bit sad that happens, that they can’t see the body as a natural, beautiful thing.”..

But when, exactly, did we all become such prudes? It seems funny to me that breasts are everywhere you look - on the television, in magazines, on adverts across cities - and yet, when we see a pair in real life, on a real woman, we don’t know where to look. Take the case of the woman who was this week kicked off a bus in Manchester for having the temerity to breastfeed her six-week old son. We have sexualized breasts to the point that we have forgotten what they are there for.

Many believe that the topless sunbather is an exhibitionist, a minx and a strumpet. They are mistaken - mostly, we just don’t like tan lines. And we don’t mind our breasts. Is that such a bad thing?

Should women be allowed to go topless on California Beaches- Take the KTLA TV Poll

America is way behind Europe in giving women the legal right to go topless sunbathing on beaches. There are NO LEGAL topless or nude beaches in California. There are many that have been unofficially nude for years.

Yet, like we have seen with San Onofre beach, if a government bureaucrat has their own personal body issues and is uncomfortable with topless or nude beaches, they will impose their own will on the citizens of California, contrary to the wishes of the populace and waste millions of taxpayers dollars to see that their repressive agenda of shutting down a nude beach is achieved.

This Sunday, August 22nd is National Go Topless Day. It will be celebrated in 9 cities all over America. In honor of this day, KTLA in Los Angeles, the local CW network has a poll"

"Do you think women should be allowed to go topless on California beaches?"

Click here to take the KTLA TV poll.

Please pass on this post so other people can vote. It is important that our governments know that citizens support topless sunbathing.

British women topless sunbathe on vacations, rarely in England

In a recent British survey, 54% of English women said they would try topless sunbathing while on vacation abroad. But not in England.

We've noticed this same phenomenon too. Most of our guests consider themselves nude vacationers, not nudists. This means they love to vacation in the nude at our resort, but would never think of going to a nude beach or go nude at home in front of their children or friends.

People like to try different things on vacation. They're more adventurous. One of the things they're trying more is topless and nude sunbathing. That's one of the reasons why we are one of the most popular of ALL resorts in Palm Springs with one of the highest occupancy rates. We also average about an 80% repeat guest rate with guests from around the world which is one of the highest repeat rates in the travel industry.

Here's the story:

"No bikinis please, we're British: How 80 per cent of women will wear a two-piece abroad, but NEVER in the UK

On foreign shores they are happy to slip into skimpy bikinis - or even go topless.
But when holidaying at home, it seems that British women like to stay relatively covered up.

In a survey, 54 per cent said they would go topless abroad but none was prepared to do the same in the UK.

Similarly, an overwhelming 91 per cent said they wear a bikini overseas, but 80 per cent would never been seen in one on a British beach...

The risk of embarrassment if spotted by an acquaintance is the main reason for modesty, being cited by 51 per cent. More children playing on British beaches was the reason given by 42 per cent...

Good (and funny) topless article form a female New Zealand reporter about topless sunbathing

I thought this was a very good and a very funny article from a woman reporters point of view about topless sunbathing.

I love Kiwis. We normally average around 4-6 couples a year from New Zealand that vacation with us. They are such fun people.

Here's the story:

"What's wrong with boobs on beaches?

Toplessness on beaches. This topic, which has recently been brought to the fore by a piece on Campbell Live, makes me furious. Not because I am opposed to breasts being flaunted in the fresh air but because the Christchurch weather of late is simply not providing anyone with the opportunity for flesh-baring of any kind.,,

...I never cease to be amazed by the knee-jerk reaction that people have to the very idea, never mind the reality, of breasts being in plain view. It's as if the very presence of mammaries might lead to some great cataclysm or breakdown of the social fabric. Fabric that could be well put to use in a nice high-neck blouse. What if young children see boobs? How might this warp their tiny, impressionable, prone-to-prurience minds? Well, it wouldn't but that never seems to come up in these conversations, does it?

...Having been on beaches in Europe where entire families from the smallest toddler to the most unfortunately wizened grandma were sans top, I can attest that no one was driven to distraction by the sight. People did not run around looting, worshipping the devil, or dry-humping power-poles as a result (the people who did these things were doing so because they were British...on holiday...in Spain). Don't blame the breasts. It wasn't their fault.

...Now, I am quite sure that I'm not the only person who has an opinion on this subject so I encourage you to lay bare your thoughts, if not your chests. If the notion of free-range breasticles bothers you, can you explain why? Are we, as a nation, hopelessly screwed up when it comes to our bodies? If everyone else was doing it too, would you get yours out?"

Victoria's Secret introduced the half -kini aka topless bikini

Wow, Victoria's Secret is getting brave. They are introducing what they call the half kini which everyone else calls a topless bikini.

Now of course women normally by the top and bottoms of a bikini and just wear the bottoms. But, this topless bikini is made so that it doesn't come with a top. It is meant to be worn bare breasted.

Now of course Victoria's Secret is in the business of selling clothes. And this is from a Spanish You Tube. It may only be available in Europe. The Spaniards aren't like us uptight Americans. On EVERY beach in Spain it is legal to go topless sunbathing.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, unique vacation experience.

Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time!

In the December 2009 issue of our local magazine Palm Springs Life, the Best of the Best issue, Terra Cotta Inn was selected as one of the 3 best boutique hotels in the whole Palm Springs area. And we are considered the best not because we are exclusive and snobby, but because we are a fun, friendly, affordably luxurious resort.

Alicia Silverstone enjoys swimming nude and gardening nude, but doesn't consider herself a nudist

Alicia Silverstone is a home nudist whether she admits it or not. There are millions of people who enjoy being nude at home, but are too nervous to go to a nudist resort or nude beach.

I always say being nude at home is like watching a major sporting event like the Super Bowl, NBA finals, or World Series alone. Yes, it can be done, but it is way more fun at a party where you meet other sports fans. Being nude is way more fun meeting other people that enjoy being nude too.

Here's a story that was printed in Health Magazine.

“It probably started when I was doing my garden the first time. I’d be out there, and it would be scorching hot, so I would take off all of my clothes and garden. And then I would jump in the pool and swim—and I always get in the pool naked, because why would you want to put on a bathing suit? But I’m not a nudist at all... in my own home, in my garden, [nudity]’s OK.”

If ever a pretty celebrity like Alicia Silverstone admitted publicly that she was a nudist, nudism would boom. Just like Bridget Bardo popularized topless sunbathing in France in the 1960's, a celebrity Like Alicia could do the same for nudism.

We have celebrities here from time to time. As I become friends with them, I always ask if they would plug nudism. They all say no as they are afraid it might hurt their careers. Strange, it is OK to say you enjoy life nude, but don't admit you are a nudist.

Now if you want to try topless or nude sunbathing for the first time, feel free giving us a call at 800-786-6938.

We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time. You don't even have to be a nudist to vacation with us.

A protest for Topless rights in America August 23rd

So many people in America are afraid of the sight of a woman baring her breast in public especially at a beach much less a topless beach.

Now it is deemed OK for a woman to be topless if she is paid millions of dollars by Sports Illustrated to do so. Or if she is paid to model and sell cars, clothes, magazines or something else, or but the idea that a woman would ENJOY topless sunbathing scares the pants off of so many people (pun intended).

Now gotopless.org will be holding a topless protest on August 23rd.

Here's the story:

"A Fight for the Right to Bare Boobs

...In January, U.S.-based GoTopless.org organized a topless protest at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Up until recently, nudity was illegal except on designated beaches, but local councils considered bare breasts acceptable.

However, a Christian fundamentalist politician, Rev. Fred Nile, introduced legislation in the parliament of New South Wales that would prohibit women from going topless on all beaches.

In response, topless women gathered on the Bondi Beach in protest, arguing that women's breasts are not offensive and should be considered just as natural as men's chests.

Now that battle is moving to the 'States. In eight participating cities—including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Miami—topless women and men will gather and peacefully rally on Sunday, August 23, "to protest the gross inequality in the law and will demand that they be granted the fundamental right to be topless where men already enjoy that right...

The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment states that "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". The GoTopless.org Movement states that this Clause defends citizens from "gender-based differential treatment."

Therefore, if a man can go topless, so can a woman.

... "The aim is to convey that the sight of a top free women [sic] in public is as natural as the sight of top free men."

For more information, visit http://gotopless.org/ (Not-Safe-for-Work Warning: As can be expected, the website features photos and video of women's bare breasts.)"

And if you want to try topless sunbathing or nude sunbathing before August 23rd, give us, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at 800-786-6938.

We are the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Girlfriend getaways at clothing optional resorts is the perfect vacation choice

Girlfriends getaways are a major travel niche. I just came across a site called Girlcations. To go to this site click here

This site is about a TV show that will be shot in Atlanta all about girlfriend getaways or as they call them girlcations. A fun play on the words nakations, staycations, and obviously vacations.

Many nudists say not enough women vacation at nudist resorts. Marketing for girlfriend getaways is the perfect way to introduce more women to the nude recreation.

Of course a few policies at nudist resorts will have to change. One is you will have to allow women to go just topless sunbathing. Every few weeks we have a few women staying here taking a girlfriend getaway. If they are not repeats, they always go topless sunbathing first. Most of the time after a day they feel comfortable going nude sunbathing and love the freedom of not wearing any clothes. I know though, if we had a mandatory nudity in the pool rule like most nudist resorts, the women would not come here.

They would go to the European sunbathing pools in Vegas instead so they could try just topless sunbathing instead.

Next, you have to have areas and/or resorts without kids. We have found women coming here for girlfriend getaways do not want to be around naked kids. Many women are school teachers and they do NOT want to hang out at nudist resorts where there are kids. Since we don't cater to families, we are the perfect girlfriend getaway destination.

Whenever we vacation in Las Vegas, we see lots of groups of 2-8 women taking girlfriend getaways. Of course they are wearing clothes or swimsuits. Some, but not too many are at the Las Vegas topless pools.

I think girlfriend getaways are a perfect market for some nudist resorts like ours.

And if you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, give us, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at 800-786-6938. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US.

Vanessa Hudgens topless photos are on the web again

I don't know anyone who knows Vanessa Hudgens. This week new topless photos of her "leaked" onto the internet.

My personal gut feel says she and her pr agent probably released these photos to increase her movies marketability since she has a new movie about to come out in a few weeks. In America bare breasts sell.

Now don't get me wrong. I think the nude human body is a beautiful thing. Ever since cavemen, artists have been painting nude humans. I would encourage Vanessa to enjoy her life in the nude. Many movie stars admit to enjoying being nude at hope. And lots go topless and nude sunbathing in Europe and the Caribbean.

However, American men seem to go crazy when they see bare breasts. Either they think the sight of bare breasts is a since worse than murder, or they go crazy and can't get enough of seeing breasts.

Now if Vanessa Hudgens had a movie role where being topless was an important part of the plot line like in Monsters Ball where Halle Berry received a best actress Academy Award, people would be complimenting her. Or if Vanessa Hudgens was "caught" innocently topless sunbathing like Hayden Panettiere people would think more highly of her.

Instead most people think of this being just a classless pr stunt. But, it is working. Last I looked, on google news, this story has been picked up 231 times, or once I post here, make it 232 times.

Funny how Vanessa really expects people to believe she had nothing to do with this, ha, ha, ha.

I wish Vanessa good luck and I hope someday she can enjoy life in the nude just like nudists do.
