More...Double Exposure
When it gets to be sweater weather here in the US, I start pining away for those countries that are just heading into summer right now.

More...When Aunt Daphne Went Nude
Did you know there used to be Nazi nudists? I didn't.

Page 99 of the best-selling satire America (The Book) by Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show shows the justices of the Supreme Court as they have never been seen before: naked, as in full-frontal, sagging nudity.

What to wear?
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been invited to a Florida nudist resort to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the theatrical release of "The Terminator" on Oct. 26.
