Clothed Winter Olympics Ends - Nude Event Begins

Now the curtain has gone down on the Winter Olympics you might be starting to miss winter sports. If you thought the fun was over however you couldn't be more wrong, for just as the official olympics were ending, another event was beginning. The Nude Winter Olympics, like their clothed equivalent, feature all the sports you know and love but with the added benefit of being contested entirely in the nude (apart from skis and such, obviously.)

Frostbite is not a concern as these games are open only to experienced nudists who have proven themselves sturdy enough to endure the cold.

Standards are mixed. Though there are many areas where the nude outperform the clothed there do exist sports that are simply not popular among naturists. Team speed skating is frowned upon due to the necessity of hurling team mates forward via a push of the buttocks. The speed skaters our community does produce are thus a rather limited bunch and frankly rather strange.

It is a very different story with our snowboarders. Dare I say it, the sight of a naturist performing a 1080 frontwards flip is something to behold.

The exact location of our games is a closely guarded secret - we like to compete free from gawpers and the mockery of long-lensed photographers. However I'm not giving too much away to say that this years event in tucked away somewhere in Siberia. The wind here is rather cold, testing our endurance to the limit. We're a tough bunch though, that's how we like it!

Toggs Off for Mr Bake Off - Paul Hollywood Joins the Nude

The nude are a rather modest bunch, but we do count the occasional celebrity among our ranks. Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood was recently spotted hanging out with some of our nude chums in Germany. As British readers will probably know, Mr Hollywood is the only Bake Off judge who hasn't jumped ship following the show's recent transfer from the BBC to Channel 4. The nude are of course known for their loyalty as this very well demonstrates. We wonder if Mary Berry, Mel and Sue would consider bathing el flagrante. Perhaps the BBC disapprove of such activities?

Eat Naked - New Nude Restaurant Opening in London

Eating naked is a wonderfully civilized thing. Mealtimes at our camps are always happy affairs, and whilst nudists do have to be careful with hot drinks, are enjoyed by all.

Now there's a fantastic new place for us to eat. The Bunyadi in London will be the capital's first openly accessible nude restaurant. Unlike our private venues the Bunyadi is open to the public and already has a huge waiting list to get in.

London is a difficult environment for the naturally attired. Judgmental gazes abound, one must approach the big smoke with caution. Often it is best to cover up, for safety.

Navigating the tube naked is best left to more experienced nudists. It is possible to navigate London's transport system naked but it requires highly skilled use of a broadsheet newspaper to escape the questioning eyes of the clothed.

The menu at this delightful sounding new venue has yet to be revealed, but they will be cooking everything over a wood fire, and the place will be lit with candles. Do take care not to get anything singed.

Here's an article about the Bunyadi from yahoo.

The Dangers of Nude Pursuits

Nude Activities are always worthy pursuits. The beginning nudist is encouraged to strip off and try performing their day to day routine in the buff to see how they find it.

More advanced nude activities can be more dangerous, as this woman discovered:

This brave lady decided to down togs and slide down a chimney. Unfortunately she found herself stuck and had to be rescued. While her bravery has to be applauded this does illustrate an important point: The more dangerous nude activities are not to be taken lightly and are best performed by experienced nudies only. A more suitable activity for the beginning nudist might be reading a book, or perhaps a little ping pong.

Congratulations: Nudey of the Year 2014 has a Winner

It's been a great year for the nude. People everywhere are dropping their inhibitions, getting their togs off and participating in healthy, fun nude activities. Some special people have gone further than others and have stripped among the clothed, spreading the joy of nudity to those yet to discover it.

Of the candidates for our inaugural competition we've selected Tim Shieff as the winner.
There couldn't be a riskier place than London to prance about naked. We are humbled by the immensity of courage required to not only strip off in London, but clamber around on top of buildings risking injury, death and ridicule.

Congratulations Mr Shieff, may your nude endeavors long continue!

See here for the list of candidates.

Nudey of the Year 2014

The nude should be celebrated, not just mocked and pointed at. We are a proud people, unashamed of our bodies, but too often we face the ridicule of the wider world the moment our togs are removed.

Some of us prefer to disrobe at our camps, keeping our nudity out of sight. Others are more brave, and sally forth into the world to show everyone how wonderful the nude life can be.

For the first time, we're awarding an honorary title to the person (or people) who has done the most to promote the cause of the nude in the last calendar year. The winner may be a nudist, someone who has done something brave or heroic in the buff or someone who has stood up for the greatness of the human form.

The candidates for the inaugural competition are as follows:

Megumi Igarashi

This brave woman built a canoe in the shape of her unmentionable area and then proceeded to make the data available to anyone else that wanted to make another one.

I avoid looking at my wife's secret area as much as can be helped, but Mrs Bessop's is said to resemble a canoe. Whether it would be seaworthy has been a matter of some debate since we first heard about Ms Igrashi's vessel. Regardless, we salute the woman and her fine attempts to deshame the lady area.

Tim Shieff

Not only has this man been wandering around one of the world's most populated cities in the buff, he's been participating in one of the finest nude activities around, parkour! Free running in the nude is a truly wonderful thing, both to behold and to participate in.

Many of those who see this kind of thing will surely be inspired to drop togs themselves and that has to be a good thing. Mr Shieff is a great advert for nudity and we salute him!

The Austrian Nude Police

The nude often fall foul of the law and are thus all too familiar with police forces around the globe. It's nice, therefore, to see police in Austria not just taking a more pro-nude stance, but actively participating in nudity and enforcing correct etiquette. Sadly this is only a private security force, but here's hoping official forces will follow their lead and switch to the uniform nature intended.

The People of Northumberland

The North East Skinny Dip has been running for three years and does a great job of showing people what fun nudity can be. Not only do they charge naked into the sea, they raise money for charity at the same time. There are hundreds of participants and all deserve a round of applause!

The winner will be announced soon!

Free Runner Goes Starkers

This is the kind of thing we want to see more of! This brave fellow has been running around London completely starkers!

The nude do not fear wind, they do not fear rain. They may be mildy worried by frostbite, but that just encourages them to move faster and keep warm.
