Berkeley High nudists dash across campus
An otherwise uneventful lunch turned into an eye-fest for George Barajas Sr. and son George Jr., as a group of nude Berkeley High students ran wild in front of the school before climbing into a truck. "All of a sudden I see about 15 to 20 naked guys and girls running by," Barajas Sr. said of Monday's incident. "We couldn't help but keep looking." George Jr., a freshman at the school, heard from other students something might be afoot but the actual streaking caught him by surprise. More...Nude beach parking access remains
Nudists and other Lake Tahoe beach users have been negotiating for years in hopes of finding a way to preserve parking along their favorite string of beaches. But just in time for summer and before the talks produced a solution, the Nevada Department of Transportation has removed many of the roadside spaces. Officials said their intent was to improve erosion control and safety. More...Clothing Optional, Europe
Nude beaches in Europe are everywhere, but not all beaches are the same. Morfa Dyffryn is probably the best naturist beach in the UK. It's situated on the Welsh coast between Barmouth and Harlech. It's a two hour drive from Chester and the West Midlands, and a three hour drive from Manchester and Liverpool. More...40 Percent Of Americans Iron While Naked
Ironing clothes may be a lot sexier than previously believed, because many Americans do it in the nude. According to a new study by Niagara Spray Starch, 46 percent of men and 34 percent of women do their ironing while buck naked. Most of the exposed ironers are young people -- nearly 47 percent are under 44 -- but only 22 percent of oldsters iron in the buff. More...Barcelona bottoms break record

School Says Streak is Too Much to Bare
As the school year draws to a close, dozens of members of the Berkeley High School class of 2003 are preparing to take part in a tradition less formal but just as storied as the classic rites of prom and commencement. Before the year is over, some graduating seniors will run naked through the crowded Berkeley High courtyard in the annual "Senior Streak" during the school's lunch period. More...Brits get ants in their pants over naked artist

People favour topless bathing
IN a sign of the city's growing maturity or perhaps a more European frame of mind, almost nine out of 10 people have voted in favour of allowing topless sunbathing on The Strand in a Townsville Bulletin online poll.

Memo to the Anti-War Protesters: Strip Down for Cuba
Given that the hard left was so vociferous and occasionally creative in its opposition to the war in Iraq, it would be a tragedy if their creative energy now went to waste. Thus, I have a suggestion for a new cause that will allow them to paint their faces, have the occasional march, and for which Sean Penn can buy space in the Washington Post to write op-ed advice to the Defence Secretary: the liberation of Cuba. More...Strand nudity shock
BARE-BREASTED sunbakers on The Strand have sparked a public complaint of "indecent exposure" at the family friendly beach strip. But authorities say that while complete nudity would be a no-no on The Strand, bare breasts are tolerated -- provided they're bared in the right places. Townsville City Council said yesterday it was not a "moral crusader" and police said the practice was not illegal. More...Naked Graham Norton and Pope advert ruled not offensive

More...The naked truth about running in SF
I learned some valuable lessons on Sunday, the most important of which is that naked runners get a natural advantage. Running my first Bay to Breakers on a beautiful day in San Francisco, I was one of about 70,000 runners crammed into a path the width of a street, going 7 1/2 miles from the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. There are people in costume, people in group costumes and, unfortunately, people with nothing on. More...Retreat an oasis of success

John Gelmon, 37, a naturist, relaxes during a recent gathering of the Toronto chapter of the Ontario Roaming Bares. "I guess it basically started when I went to a nude beach in Jamaica.

It really wasn't too embarrassing because who cares if a woman from Texas sees me naked. More...Bare to Breakers in San Francisco

The future of sports is in the nude
I have seen the future of American sports and it is nude. And so it is my belief that we need a new, naked direction in sports -- to strip away, if you will, the mistakes of the past and let the cool summer air caress our bodies anew. I came to this realization recently when I read an announcement for a nude tennis tournament that was to be webcast May 13 on pay per view. More...Living Nude

They stay in trailers or RV's, swim in the pool and play darts - all without clothes on. More...

Best Nude Beaches
Nude Beach. The very mention of these two words often arouses feelings of titillation, embarrassment, outrage or even a combination of the three.
