Wisconsin nudist camp is nation's largest
Welcome to the shores of Lake Mariah, where men wear hats, women wear sandals and the kids wear sunblock. And where clothing is optional -- all of the time.

But Aurora Gardens is the nation's largest nudist camp, in geographic area, and the fastest-growing, according to its association. More...
A naked female 'Terminator'
Why would this be so difficult, we hear you ask. Mostow goes on to explain: "It was the arrival of the female Terminator, and as you know, they arrive naked. Because there are so many tourists, the challenge was to shoot that scene with Kristanna Loken without attracting too many lookyloos. More...

Each year before Labor Day, thousands of artists and seekers gather in the Nevada desert to experience a world beyond the constraints of everyday life. The fete, culminating with the burning of a 40-foot effigy, is called Burning Man, and it is billed by organizers as an "experimental community, which challenges its members to express themselves." This self-expression takes the form of art, song, dance, theater -- and nudity. And where there's public nudity, there are bound to be cameras.
