It’s just as well this doesn’t go on at my local McDonalds, I’d be there even more bloody often!

Here’s a Sky News video of yesterday’s shoot at the Opera House. I really can’t wait to see the finished shot.
A New Zealand judge has dismissed a case against a man caught riding his bicycle down the road naked. The judge said that Mr Lowe’s nakedness didn’t meet the test of offensive behaviour. I agree, a naked man riding a bike down the street nude isn’t offensive. Do I think it’s appropriate? Not really, but it’s a bit of a laugh. It’s not like he was exposing himself in a sexual way to children or masturbating at anyone.

Nudes-A-Poppin is a kind of nude “beauty pageant” at Sunclub Nude Resort in the U.S. From surfing the internet for a few years now, it seems to be an annual event and some of the entrants come up with those slightly odd costumes that still mean their junk is clearly visible. For me, complete nudity is best, although I have to say the “Policeman” looks pretty damned hot in the pic on the far right.
I have no idea of the judging criteria but if it’s going on size, true to stereotype, the African American guy is winning. All three guys in these photos are pretty damned hot and I would struggle to choose. It’s the Libran in me, so can I take all of them?
I was perusing the pages of Hangoutnude.com as I do when I came across the profile of Desertdude here who is a resident of “the desert” in California somwhere. His photos reminded me of the good old early days of this blog, just over four years ago when I was running the public nudity challenge. It’s what got this blog noticed and gave it a little notoriety. Desert Dude seems to have no qualms about stripping off ever, anywhere. Good on him I say. I don’t think I’d get away with, or he brave enough to try any of these locations.
Friday night saw the inaugural dip for the “Skinnydipping Sydney” facebook group. Sadly the weather that had been holding off all day really hit in the hour before the dip was scheduled. So there were only 4 of us at the dip at 1am. All three others I had been to beaches and skinnydipped with before so we didn’t get to make any new skinnydipping friends. Two other straight couples did show up and skinnydip too but they weren’t really fussed on chatting as they were very drunk and one couple seemed more intent on having aquatic intercourse.
I won’t be discouraged. We’ll have another dip soon so if you are in Sydney and want to join us for a skinnydip, join the facebook group and stay tuned.
Today the media found out about Spencer Tunick’s Mardi Gras plans to build a “base” to the Sydney Opera House out of 2000 nude volunteers. Several readers of the blog and many many of my friend have forwarded me the links to various news sites.
I’m well on top of it. I registered to take part weeks and weeks ago. I can’t wait. I know Spencer has his detractors but I just want to be in a group of 2000 nude people on the Opera House steps. Last time I was alone. It’s not an experience that comes around often so I really intend to be there.
One of the big plinths in London’s Trafalgar Square has been empty for some time while whatever it usually houses is being repaired or replaced so the council in the area allotted an hour at a time to whomever wanted to use the plinth, day or night.
These hardy souls decided that it was best put to use nude. Now, when I lived in London the weather wasn’t often conducive to nudity like this but I say good on them! One hardy fellow even went to the trouble to be completely bodypainted! What I like even more than the unabashed public nudity is that it was clearly perfectly legal!
It’s just hit the news here that Spencer Tunick, famed photographer is staging one of his mass nude installation photo shoots in Sydney for the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras next year. I’ve already registered. They are giving priority to members of the Mardi Gras. I’d love to take part in it. It’s something I’d thought about for a long time. Spencer creates amazing images with iconic buildings or locations kitted out with hundreds or thousands of naked human forms. Read the full article here.
So, you find yourself in Scotland at the Windsurfing Championships, competition is fierce, but you and a couple of mates have some spare time and the beach is pretty empty (as a windy beach in Scotland often would be I suspect). What do you do? That’s right, take off all your clothes and go nude windsurfing. And in the case of one of them, sail one handed while protectively cupping your nether regions the whole time so no one gets a photo of your icicle doodle.
I would hazard a guess that even if he wasn’t cupping his genitals, they wouldn’t be visible so much to the photographers. Scottish waters are cold enough at the best of times but in October on a windy, cloudy day? Damn near freezing I’d guess. Good on them for having a go. They are a hell of a lot tougher than I am.

A 50 year old man was arrested after a US Airways flight had to be diverted because he had stripped naked on a flight. The man calmly stripped off all his clothing while on the flight and refused requests to put them back on and eventually became violent, assaulting the flight attendant who tried to cover him with a blanket.
Now I understand legally he wasn’t doing the right thing by being nude, but really… it’s not like he was hiding any weapons, although they haven’t shown him from the front so I don’t know. From the article, I don’t seem to get the impression that he was running around waving it in peoples faces. Maybe they should have clothing optional flights?
A reader commented on my complaint that nude beaches are predominantly the domain of older guys. He said that older people have come to terms with their body and it’s flaws and have reached a level of comfort with themselves that we younger guys haven’t reached.
I totally agree with him. I have body issues (decreasing pleasingly as I age) but I haven’t let them stop me getting my gear off on nude beaches since I was 22 or so. Why is it that younger people are so self conscious of being seen nude when in theory, they are the people closer to the popular ideal of beauty? I know peer pressure plays a part but that can’t be all of it. I’m interested to hear your theories and possibly when and why those of you that do go nude, started doing so.
It’s taken some time but I finally understand the appeal of the new full length speed suits that competitive swimmers are using. They have to be worn tight. Really tight. Ricky Berens on the U.S. team at the FINA World Championships in Rome was wearing his moments prior to racing in a relay and bent over for a drink of water. Suddenly he felt a draught. Thankfully for all of us, his team mate urged him to ignore the tear and just swim as there wasn’t time to change. Oh to have been his team mates or an official standing behind the blocks as he stood ready to dive.
Apparently the suits are tearing quite frequently because of how tight they are being worn. Now I’m just trying to picture someone doing one of those amazing backstroke starts, arching out of the water and…. RIP!
Every year in Sweden they have a competition to find the “Water Fairy of the Year” and every year it has been won by a violinist, up until this year. 2009 saw Martin Norberg win the title playing a saxophone. Apparently the legend goes that a water fairy takes the form of a naked man playing the violin on the shores of lakes and streams. Interestingly the legend actually predates the first violin in Sweden.
I love the fact that the crowd includes families and all sorts of people watching as if it’s the most normal thing in the world for a naked man to be standing in a stream playing a musical instrument. I know it’s summer up there, but that water cannot possibly be warm.
Every year in Denmark, they have a music festival called Roskilde. Not only are there a lot of A-list musicians performing but every year they have a nude running race. After looking at these photos I can honestly say that running doesn’t do good things to unsupported genitals. That’s just gotta be uncomfortable! From the video footage I’ve seen and the photos, it looks like a fiercely competitive race with lots of cute guys and gals running. I’m not at all sure what the writing is on their bodies but they all seem to have it.
