Nudes in the news

Naked climber makes Daily Mail article.   

He has no cover.  What if he met another climber coming the other direction?

Bet he saw that flick of the guy in Spain doing the same thing, without the hat. Wow, no place to rest.
If he had met someone coming down, they wouldn't have bumped heads...eeehww! What if the other climber was naked, too?

Maybe that is why he kept the hat on?

Hopefully the start of a new trend

It would appear that the Nude-ercise participants are exclusively well-mature white males.  Us then?  Anybody on the forum joined this class?  Yes, I do hope it catches on!

I seem to recall that some of the naturist swims in the UK have had exercise classes and gym sessions for some time.

Spectrum in Brum holds months yoga and tai chi sessions. We also have use of a gym and squash courts. We are investigating if aquarobics could be made available too.

What an addition it would be to the Silver Sneakers program here! Where is the sign up sheet?

I hate to disrupt this thread but I didn't want to start a whole new one just to mention this conversation. Yesterday after church and all over my social media there has been a backlash against those celebrities who participated in the Woman's March or who are anti Trump. And not that I value their opinions but I have noticed elsewhere on the nudist/naturist sites there is usually a list of famous people who participate in our lifestyle. So my question would be do famous people help or hurt any naturist causes considering the current climate? Also I know that those web sites lean more to the factory farmed type of nudism more than free range as we tend to practice.  It also seems that this group consists of more free thinkers also so the comments may be skewed.

Trump won our election so one must assume that a huge part of America supports his program.   That was despite Hollywood actors, celebs, and the MSM pushing anti-Trump propaganda as hard as they could go for the past year.   Mr. Trump has pushed back and pointed out a lot of fictional nonsense or "Fake News" that the media uses all the time.  One might note that the Hollywood celebs are in the FICTION business so separating fact from fiction is not their stock in trade.

When celebs are on stage doing "in your face" sexuality then their naked sexual display hurts any association with nudism. 

When celebs are simply going naked at a free beach or nudist farm then photos of them going naked are helpful. 

Like anything else its all about context.

report in our press this morning that kate was going to the bafta awards but the "celebs" dont want her there cos young attractive female royalty will take the media attention off them.

says it all really.

but back to trump , his party selected him to stand for election and the people voted for him... end of

all these celebs throwing their toys out the pram speaks volumes about them and has no effect whatsoever.

[Davie]

and the people voted for him... end of

I understood he lost the popular vote.

Having said that I accept that under the present system he was elected legitimately. I make no comment on whether or not Mr Trump is the right man for the job. Time will tell and I'm not qualified to vote in that election.

We have the same in the UK were a party can gain the most seats but not the popular vote. The winners of course don't want the system to change. The other problem is if you change the system without really thinking it through you can have unexpected and unintended consequences, for example by giving low supported parties a disproportionate amount of power.

Interesting morning in the UK, the Supreme Court has poked the government in the eye over whether the government can invoke Britix without the consent of parliament. We live in interesting times.

I need to get out in the country and have a naked walk

I'm beginning to see this issue of nationalism more often in not only the US and the UK but other areas of Europe. The migration from the middle East may have a lot to do with it as my social media is full of ban Shiara law posts. As for the election I am in as much agreement and taking a wait and see attitude. This whole thing is most likely a symptom of my SAD and overthinking things. Like Davie I need a naked walk in the countryside to clear my head!

[Davie]

I was amazed on a visit to Edinburgh when the "yes" to Scotland getting independence held a march. There were people from all sorts of countries waving banners and flags,all wanting to break away from their own country including from Spain, Belgium and a host of other countries.

A lot of things going on in American politics.   I saw the nude photo of Mrs. Trump on Facebook again yesterday.  She looks good naked.  I'm sure it tends to support nudity in general having her naked photos posted around. 

It is being said that UK  PM May is visiting Trump on Friday this week.  Perhaps working on trade deals for after BREXIT.
