Photo-Essay: Clarifications!

Aligned to cooperate!

Typical to the entire naturist/nudist community and culture: the approach of another summer season in the Northern Hemisphere renews the “great debate” over the labels and terms that we use to describe ourselves. My personal feeling? I don’t think the debate will ever resolve and this disagreement will last until the end of time.

Confusion surrounds what some purists (perfectionists) continuously argue as appropriate/inappropriate (good/poor) terminology.

Naked?

Nude?

Naturist?

Bare?

Body freedom?

Clothes freedom?

Natural?

Sunbathing!

I prefer sunbathing bare.

Beach visitors!

In the summer, we’d rather be natural!

Posing!

Skinny-dipping!

I enjoy the water nude!

SYNONYMOUS? INTERCHANGEABLE?

Shading his eyes!

I’d rather wear nothing whatsoever!

Naked hugs!

U.S. Federal law mandates the celebration of most public holidays on the Monday closest to the original date.

Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace by King Gustav of Sweden in 1964. In 1977, he was posthumously awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom by the (then) President, Jimmy Carter.

A Penny For My Thoughts? On ReNude Pride

There’s an old American adage or proverb that states “A penny for your thoughts?” This quote is sometimes attributed to Benjamin Franklin and refers to the penny as cash-currency and at the time of Mr. Franklin was a substantial coin. However, inflation ensued and today it takes 100 pennies to equal one dollar ($USD) so in terms of actual value, a penny is almost useless.
