Kiwi nudists take on police and firefighters

Yup, they're at it again.  Nudists, firefighters and police are toe to toe against each other in New Zealand.  Unfortunately the nudists of Pine Glades Naturist Club lost again.  They put up a good fight but the police and firefighters seem to win all the time, well at least in the last two past volleyball tournaments.

Kiwis promote Hawks Bay Naturist Club

Our nudist friends down under are promoting the bare facts of going naked.  PR folks from Hawks Bay Naturist Club (Rapere) on the north island of New Zealand near Napier garnered a nice little piece in the Hawks Bay Today promoting their club.  My hat (and everything else) is off to you.

Polar Bare Plunge

Well it's that time of year again when normally conservative nudists all over the world jump into the nearest body of frigid water in their birthday suits.  I suppose it's good for bragging rights.  Maybe I should join in? NOT!  The Skinnydipper Recreation Club of Surrey, UK just had their annual Polar Bare dip at Crescent Beach.  I'm shivering here just watching it.
