Nude U.K. hotel to be reviewed on TV

Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi of BBC's channel 5 reviews Clover Spa, a nudist hotel in Birmingham, England.  Apparently he finds issue with the fact that the hotel's guests are allowed to go nude in the hotel.  Hmmm, I wonder why they would allow such a thing in a NUDIST hotel?  Live and learn.

Spencer Tunick does Munich



Spencer Tunick, the well known nude art photographer, recently did a special installation in Munich, Germany. The Bavarian State Opera commissioned Tunick to create a photographic installation inspired by their new production of Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle, directed by Andreas Kriegenburg.  That's a far cry from the days when they had to dodge police in New York City when he first started shooting grand nude photos.  Below is a first-hand account of a shoot participant.

Portugal mayor welcomes country's first nudist site

Here's a twist on the usual:  The Marvão, Portugal's mayor, José Manuel Pires told the press he welcomes the country's first nudist venue with open arms. He said, "It makes sense that the investment fits within the Serra deSãoMamedeNaturalPark. The clients of these types of places are people who live as one with nature, who protect it, who defend it, and who therefore are welcome."

Wow! What if all countries' local governments took that approach to the nudist resort industry instead of immediately trying to find ways to shut them down or lump them into the adult/sex business category?  It would be a different world.

Grocery shopping nude

Here's an interesting marketing twist, a grocery store on the Denmark/Germany border offered free groceries to the first 100 patrons who would shop in the nude.  The store was surprised that 250 people showed up and were camped out waiting to get in.  Hmmm, I wonder if Kroger, HEB, Publix, or Trader Joe's would adopt this program?  Could be interesting.
