Westjet has a major airfare sale to Palm Springs - Buy tickets by Midnight Wednesday June 3rd


I just learned Westjet has a blog. I will give you the link to the blog later in this post.

We love Westjet, since they started flying to Palm Springs, our Canadian business has sky rocked. We now book more room nights with Canadians than we do with guests from Southern California.

But that is pretty easy as we are the only nudist resort in the Western US that caters to couples on vacation. We are the only place that is busy 7 days a week instead of just weekends like most everyone else. Since Canadians love spending 1 to 2 weeks at our resort in Palm Springs on their vacations, they don't want to go nudist resorts where not many people around from Sunday to Friday nights.

Nudism is very social especially at our nudist resort. People love to meet, talk, go out to dinner together, etc. So you have to be a vacation resort to get vacationers to want to come back. And that is exactly what we do best as we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the travel industry at just over a 75% repeat guest rate.

Here is the sale information from Westjet's blog:

"WestJet has the USA on sale - travel until Oct 31

Book your WestJet flights to the United States by June 3, 2009 (11:59 p.m. MT) for travel until October 31, 2009 and save with WestJet's low fares to great destinations in the USA.

Sample fares from Toronto:
Las Vegas $189
Los Angeles $235

We have found we have a lot of guests fly to Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, and Las Vegas besides Palm Springs especially guests who are talking long 2 week to 1 month vacations. They drive around the Southwest and spend 1-2 weeks at our resort besides going to other cities.

I commend Westjet for having a blog. We have had one now for years. It is nice when big corporations catch up with small businesses in using social media.

If you have always wanted to vacation at a clothing optional resort, now is your chance. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Birthday Party at the Terra Cotta Inn


Yesterday, was my birthday. Here is a picture of a cake that a guest made and decorated for me to share with all the guests. Naturally, all the guests wore their best birthday suits to help me celebrate.

We had a fun BBQ yesterday. We had a couple here from Wisconsin. They had deliverd brats for everyone shipped all the way from Wisconsin. Of couse I grilled them cheese head style by soaking them overnight in beer and simmering them in the morning before grilling them. We provided the complimentary beer and side dishes for everyone.

It was so much fun. We were packed and sadly even had to turn away guests.

We have the best guests. They all love it here.

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

Some people in Maine are bent out of shape by a topless coffee and donut shop

A topless coffee and donut shop in Maine has been bothering some local citizens. One of the waitresses stepped outside topless. Read the results:

Topless Maine coffee shop draws ire, plenty of refills

... one man in Vassalboro, Maine, thought of it all when he opened a coffee and donut shop in February where the young wait staff, both men and women, are topless when they bring you your daily dose of caffeine.
All had been fine at the shop until one of the waitresses stepped outside still topless, forcing state troopers to make an appearance.
Star Cunningham... said she was only outside for one minute, and while the 22-year-old from Augusta admits to having no shirt on, she says she was completely covering her breasts with her arms. One minute was enough time, however, for an outsider to make a complaint...

Town residents will meet on June 8 to discuss an ordinance that will place regulations on businesses like Grand View. Though Maine currently has no prohibitions on either full or partial public nudity, the ordinance will list where, when, and how these types of town businesses are allowed to operate..."

Here is a mature comment to the story:
"Susan said:
A couple of years ago I lived in Maine and went topless in my back yard on a regular basis and nobody cared. I would also go topless at Popham beach and outside of few looks because being topless is not the norm nobody cared. It is not against the law to be topless in Maine; remember the topless lawnmower somewhere near Bangor? The girl was on the deck topless, so what! It is a breast, get over it, get used to it, stop making more of it than what it is, and stop hiding behind your kids; they probably have seen more breasts than any parent will ever know."

For the full story click here

This is my take on the story. Because it is a donut shop, cops are attracted to it like lemmings. Or like moths to light. Yet, their bosses will be mad because it is topless. So cops are upset, because they can't sit around all day long eating donuts and goofing off. (Actually, I know it is not true as we have many fine law enforcement professionals that stay at my resort. I do love teasing them about donuts however).

And the funny thing is is you go to Europe to the beaches most of which are topless and some nude, you will see many restaurants where the wait staff both male and female are topless serving guests drinks, food, etc. It is no big deal there. Only in English speaking countries do we make a big deal over nudity.

125 years ago a bare ankle was scandalous. Now It is no big deal. In the 1700's women of the royal court in France went to balls with their breasts completely bare. It was the height of fashion for a young woman to expose her nipples. Times chance, skin is in again, so conservatives need to get over the sight of bare breasts.

And if you have always wanted to go topless or nude sunbathing, give us a call at 800-786-6938.

Common sense about teen sexting

Leave it to governments to not show common sense. Many teens these days are sexting. I think I read that somewhere around 20-25% of teens have sent or received nude photos of fellow students.

Now what do school officials and district attorneys do when they learn about this? Many of them go ballistic and charge the kids with felony child pornography. Instead of telling the parents, taking away the cell phones and making the kids do public service work on weekends to break them of this habit, officials who are supposed to be looking out for the welfare of our kids, want to throw the book at them instead.

In an earlier post, I said it was time for jury nullification on this issue. Our founding fathers inherently knew that governments lack common sense. So juries are made up of citizens. One of their jobs is to determine is their really a crime committed. The last time jury nullification was in its height was during prohibition. I suggested anyone on a sexting case find all kids not guilty as the only crime committed is one of rgwue stupidity.

Now there is some more common sense on this issue:


"Report: Teens Should Not Face Child Porn Charges For "Sexting"


Cell Phone A new report says kids and teens should not face child pornography charges from sexting.

Sexting or the practice of sending sexually explicit or nude photos over your cell phone is just like playing spin the bottle. That's the latest from a new report on children's sexuality...

Researchers say, while this practice of sexting can have serious consequences, technology changes things for young people, and a distinction should be made between pornography and nudity.

This congress brings together 8-thousand researchers around the world to discuss social trends.

A previous report from a US Family Planning Organization found one in five children has participated in sexting.

The researchers say, to some, it's considered a harmless practice, and safer than intimacy, where pregnancy or std's might result...."

A famous celebrity that goes Beep -Beep has been vacationing at Terra Cotta Inn



Here's two pictures of one of our more famous celebrity guests relaxing at our resort. Her boyfriend Wile E. Coyote was over at the pool nude sunbathing when I took the photo.

The road runner has been at our resort for about 2 weeks. Every time we see it, by the time I got my camera, it would be gone. Contrary to what many people think, road runners can fly short distances. It would always fly over our walls before I could snap a photo.

In these photos, I was using a small telephoto lens as humans couldn't get closer than maybe 20 feet away to the road runner.

In the one photo, you can see the road runner running away from me as I was walking up to it. They can sure run fast.

It is amazing all the wildlife we have at our resort. We have sparrows, and mockingbirds, and hummingbirds, and ravens, and doves, and the occasional duck landing in the pool.

We have so many flowers here the birds love our resort (so do the guests).

If you have always wanted to try topless or nude vacationing at one of the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world (according to AOL.com and tripadvisor.com) give us, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa a call at
800-786-6938. We are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.
