Orient Land Trust is one of the most storied naturist locations in the United States. This Colorado territory is the perfect conjunction of The Naturist Society + The Nature Conservancy (and a half dozen other organizations as well). The huge acreage includes numerous hiking trails, a ranch, a mine, and so much more. Their comprehensive programming listsContinue reading “Orient Land Trust”

Glowing Cover Art
I’m very grateful to my friend Bernard Perroud, who surprised me by sending me his original painting for the cover of Aglow! Bernard is a very talented multi-media artist. I’ve always enjoyed his aesthetic and his willingness to show his work in progress. I collaborated with him for the cover of my first novel as well–Co-edContinue reading “Glowing Cover Art”
The Natural State
If you’re one to bare your skin to the air just about anywhere, then you better beware in The Natural State! The “shirt off your back” is what you’ll lose fast if you dare to unclasp your bra or your pants in The Natural State: a sentence, a fee – a price way too steepContinue reading “The Natural State”

If you are a nudist, a nude-is-not-rude-ista naturist beacherist true birthday suit-ist, If you’re a no-clothes-er, a naked nap dozer,a barefoot all over from head to your toes-er, If you’re often naked, your clothing forsake-d,your moon by the moon lit or by the sun bake-d, If you skinnyContinue reading “Skinvitation”
Naturist Lodge near Guadalajara
In my previous post, I reviewed the hot-off-the-press Naked at Lunch by Mark Haskell Smith. I’d like to return to the book for a moment as a way of introducing this post. Smith, in a chapter about the future of social nudism, quotes a well-known voice of naturist philosophy, Mark Storey, on a rather pessimisticContinue reading “Naturist Lodge near Guadalajara”
"There’s Not a Bathing Suit in Russia"
I was recently looking through The Naturist Society’s naturist bibliography, compiled by Mark Storey, when I came across the title There’s Not a Bathing Suit in Russia and Other Bare Facts by Will Rogers. My interest was piqued, because Will Rogers is everywhere here in Oklahoma – he is the state’s favorite native son. RogersContinue reading “"There’s Not a Bathing Suit in Russia"”
Legends of Naturism
Naturism is multicultural! Here are some pithy profiles of nude heroes and heroines from around the world and throughout history. LADY GODIVA 11th-Century England Truth, or dare? The truth: Her husband, sure of a refusal, dared her to ride through town unattired. But it was the daring Lady Godiva herself who threw down her gauntlet, and everythingContinue reading “Legends of Naturism”
Naturist Trolls?
Disney’s über-popular Frozen debuted months ago, but I didn’t see it until this weekend, and there are a couple of quick pro-naturist points I would like to make about the film. The story is set loosely in Scandinavia, maybe Norway. In the scene in which younger sister Anna meets ice-cutter Kristoff, a storekeeper is haggling overContinue reading “Naturist Trolls?”
Freedom of Dress
Today is a day to celebrate freedoms here in the United States, freedoms such as those depicted by the celebrated mid-20th-century American realist painter Norman Rockwell in his series called the Four Freedoms (clockwise from top left, below): Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear. These 1943 paintings, if not exclusively propaganda,Continue reading “Freedom of Dress”
Nude Physics 3: Luminosity
I’m neither physicist nor physician, so it’s only with a bit of creative license that I’m exploring, in this series of posts, certain physical properties of our bodies when nude. The first two posts in the series have featured concepts from physics that are perhaps more obviously applicable to our bodies: surface area to volumeContinue reading “Nude Physics 3: Luminosity”
