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.

A funny YouTube Nudist Colony video

This You Tube nude video is titled "A Nudist Colony Nightmare." It's pretty funny.

The nude video does bring up a few issues however. It plays into some nudist colony stereotypes which lots of people still believe.

One stereotype is the nudists sit around playing guitars singing in the evening. The video is playing into the Kumbaya stereotype. Having been involved with nude recreation for over 30 years I have yet to see someone playing a guitar while other nudists sing. I'm sure it has happened just like some fraternity and sororities members etc have sang to a guitar, But I have never seen it or heard about it at a nudist resort.

Yet, a few times a month we will hear from someone calling asking for information about our resort. One of the questions they ask is something like this "do we have to join in singing in the evenings with other people. We really don't want to."

Next of course is the word nudist colony. Although nudists do NOT live in colonies, and we vacation at nudist resorts, clothing optional resorts, nudist campgrounds, nudist parks, etc., there is still a large segment of people who think the proper term for nudist resorts such as ours is nudist colonies. There is even the famous Budweiser video called Mr. Nudist Colony Activity Coordinator. And of course in this video they had a big Kumbaya moment.

So where am I going with this? Many people still think that nude recreation and nudism is a closed society for members only. We are always asked if couples have to be members to stay at our resort. They do NOT want to go anywhere where they have ti join any clubs or societies. They just want to vacation and relax and have fun.

Being called a nudist colony in itself is not bad unless people think it is a closed group and they don't want to join.

The whole idea of making nude recreation mainstream is one where people don't think nudists are "different" by sitting around singing Kumbaya in nudist colonies.

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

Everyone should try a nude vacation says Norma

Norma has been working here at The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, California for 3 weeks now. She loves it.

Norma was NOT a nudist before she worked here. But, just like all first timers at our resort, it took her less then a day to decide that she liked working in the nude. Like many women, she went topless first, wearing just her jeans, and then decided wearing clothes at work here was silly, so she started working nude. Not only does she like working in the nude, she wants to help promote our business.

Here she shot a video encouraging everyone to vacation at a nudist resort.

To see the video which is NSFW as Norma is topless in the video, click here: http://bit.ly/aPKHQb

Too bad we can't post the video on You Tube as Youtube does not allow toplessness in videos.

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