Naked man in Canada denied a slice of pizza

What do you say to a naked man wanting to buy a slice of pizza in a Canadian city?

Answer - Thanks, but no thanks.

You always ready stories about what crazy people do when naked. Who knows, maybe this guy had the munchies? At least the police didn't taser and kill him like they did to a New York naked man last week who happened to be naked.

This makes the news because our society is so hung up on clothes. However, what if we were like Cap D'Agde, a nudist city in the South of France where 50,000 nudists vacation in the city every summer.

There you can go to the grocery sore, restaurants, buy Baskin Robbins ice cream naked and no one tries to arrest you.

Here's the story:


"COBOURG - A man wearing only black Adidas running shoes was denied service at a downtown pizza shop, on Friday, Sept. 26, at 9:50 p.m.

The naked man asked staff for a slice of pizza, but he was told to leave the store. Police were called, but were unable to locate the man.


He is described as early-30s, heavy set, between 5’10” and six feet, with short-dark-brown hair and scruffy-facial hair.


The investigation is continuing as he may have been captured by a surveillance camera."

Naturist church service cancelled due to threats - How Christian of the bullies

A Dutch naturist group had held a nude church service in June. They wanted to hold another one and promoted it on the web. That's when the crazy Christians decided to slither out from the rocks and threaten the naturists.

I had to go to a Catholic grammar school for 8 years. I remember learning that Adam and Eve where nude in the Garden of Eden until they sinned. Then they were forced out and had to wear clothes.

It seems to me that God was saying that nudity equals purity and clothes equals sin.

Of course the best part is I'll bet anything that the people threatening the naturist Christians consider themselves "good" christians too. I can hear them saying
"Hey Willem, let's go kick some naturist ass. But first we need to pray to god to make sure that we don't to give us the strength to beat them up."

Religious extremists make me sick.

Here is the story:


"Nude church service called off following threats

A group of Dutch nudists called off a special church service to be held in a nudist park after receiving threats, a spokesman for the group said Friday.

In June, the Christian Gan Eden nudists held their first church service at the Flevo-Natuur nudist park in Zeewolde in the eastern Netherlands and planned to hold a second service.

However, the group was hit by numerous emails and phone calls, many of them threatening, the Gan Eden spokesman said. The church service was called off and the group shut its website down.

"I do not understand the fuss," the spokesman said. "We are just a group of Christians who want to have our own church service."

Nudist cliche part of Ugly Betty TV Show

I have never seen the Ugly Betty TV show. Owning a popular nudist resort, we don't get a lot of spare time to watch TV. However, I do like that the actress America Ferrera is getting a lot of recognition in Hollywood. It is nice to see women who aren't size 00 sticks getting good TV and movie roles.

Anyway, I guess they had the season opener. And of course what happens, Ugly Betty gets an apartment that is a dump overlooking middle aged nudists meaning that having nudists in your apartment complex is a negative instead of a positive.

It would have been nice instead if Ugly Betty's apartment had nudists of all ages which is what real life is, and the conflict could be that they invite her to use the pool with them in the nude. That could have been a very funny conflict for her and put nudism in a positive light, instead of the negative light that they spun. In the last scene they could have showed her jumping into the pool leaving viewers guessing did she go topless or nude or not?

Oh well, at least they didn't do a nudist colony cliche.

Here's the story:

"...Betty also decides that she needs an apartment in the city and is sad when the one she is looking at is leased right before her eyes. She takes one sight unseen from the Realtor who tells her she has another one just like the she is showing today but only upstairs with a sexy view. Of course the apartment is a total wreck and the sexy view is of the nudist middle-aged neighbors. Betty uses her whole savings to get into the apartment and tried to fix the mess on her own but with no luck..."

Experts not always right - Nudist or not

Business Week has an article reminding people to not always blindly follow the advice of experts. When we first opened our nudist resort 13 years ago, many so called nudist experts gave us some advice on how to "successfully" run our resort.

The advice we were given was to cater to weekend business, have a bar, book lots of single guys because they drink a lot and our bar will be our major profit center, sell memberships and only have AANR or TNS members stay at our resort, book families with kids, and more bad advice.

Even non nudist experts gave us bad advice telling us that only Southern Californians vacation in Palm Springs, California so don't waste our marketing efforts trying to attract the out of state or out of country market. Because we ignored them, about 80% of our guests come from out of state or out of country and we are busy 7 nights a week, not just Saturday nights like typical small hotels in Palm Springs. Now small hotels and our hospitality industry is saying palm Springs should target the out of state out of country market.

Luckily, we ignored everything they told us to do and we are the most successful and popular nudist resort with vacationers in the western US.

Here is the story:


"Give Advice That Fits

Small business owners often take advice from well-informed, experienced people. After all, they can be quite compelling, as they seem to know better or to know more. When following such advice backfires, you can find yourself second-guessing your decision to listen in the first place. So when the stakes are high, it’s critical to balance others’ expertise against your own intuition.

Give yourself permission to reject expertise—no matter how remarkable its pedigree—that doesn’t pass that test. By checking advice for a good fit, and acting accordingly, your integrity remains intact."

Vacationing at a clothing optional resort one of the things you have to do before you die

I have already reported on how vacationing at clothing optional and nudist resorts is one of the popular items on peoples bucket lists or things to do before they die.

People are just intrigued by the idea of topless and nude sunbathing.

We have had guests stay at our resort just for the reason that they can cross that off their to do list.

The funny thing is where the people thought they would try it once like parachuting, they end up loving our nudist resort.

Here the story is from a columnist at The San Francisco Chronicle, a major newspaper. Here is the story:


"Things to do before you die

I was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day, who had just returned from a clothing-optional, alcohol-free, vegan spa. She is one of the most un clothing optional alcohol-free-vegan-spa people I know, so I was highly entertained listening to her account of her weekend. "But you know," she said, after sharing the details, "as I said to my spa buddies, being naked in broad daylight is one of those things you should do before you die... so I can cross that off the list. But I love the idea of the list of things you want to do before you die..."

If you have ever wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa is the perfect resort for first timers. We are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in America and perfect for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time.

European Style Sunbathing in Las Vegas

I have always contended that two of the biggest threats to legitimate nudist resorts are swinger/sex resorts pretending to be nudist resorts and regular hotels trying to get into the topless or nude sunbathing business.

A number of years ago, Carnival Cruises had topless sunbathing decks. We heard from guests that they were terrible as guys constantly were going to the decks and walked by the women gawking as they topless sunbathed. I guess a guy would tell his wife or girlfriend he was going to the bar or whatever, run up to the topless deck, stare for a minute or so and then walk down.

Las Vegas started topless pools for guests a few years ago. To make them sound more exotic, they call them European style sunbathing pools.

We have been to two. Caesar's topless pool which was terrible because it allowed so many single men into the pool area when we were there. The ratio was probably 8 or 10men to every woman. You could tell the female guests were the only reason for this pools existence. And Mandalay Bay's topless pool, which was much better as they restricted the amount of men that could go to the pool.

The Venetian had a topless pool that they closed saying no one used it. My guess is they were like Caesar's and packed in the guys.

Now the Rio has come up with an even worse idea for their topless pools. Having strippers at their European style sunbathing pools. This will give the idea to guys that women who like to topless sunbathe are no different than strippers.

Here is the story:


Strippers by the pool: Vegas casinos get sexier


LAS VEGAS – Brittany McClain spends her nights stripping at Sapphire gentlemen's club in Las Vegas under the stage name Electronica. By day she sunbathes topless at an adults-only pool at the Rio Hotel and Casino.

“My life now is, if I'm not stripping or at the pool, I'm sleeping,” McClain said of the new partnership between the Rio and Sapphire that keeps her busy day and night.

...casinos like the Rio, owned by Harrah's Entertainment Inc, are always looking for new ways to make money, especially in the current downturn.

“It brings the sexy angle to the casino business and that is what Vegas is all about right now,” said Sapphire Senior Vice President John Lee. “All of the casinos are trying to get gentlemen's club-type entertainment without actually crossing that line.”

Caesar's Palace, Mandalay Bay, the Mirage, the Venetian and the Wynn have also opened topless pools, but the Rio's Sapphire Pool is the first formal partnership between a casino and a strip club to keep its lounge chairs stocked with bare breasted women.

The idea is for the women to attract men who will stick around and gamble at the Rio's tables. The Sapphire Pool charges men $30 to $50 admission and is fenced off from the Rio pool, where the women keep their swimsuit tops on.

...The Stippers who frolic topless under the attentive gaze of the male guests also get incentives from the club and free poolside food and drinks. No cameras are allowed.

...The Rio and Sapphire say they would like to explore further opportunities from their partnership, including possible night-life venues, within the law.
