|
|---|
The US ski team has stripped off in a bid to raise cash to fund the
upcoming expensive race season. The calendar, titled Under the Suit: The
Bodies of the Ski Team, features 11 racers, five female and six male
(we presume all 12 months are still included), including two-time
Olympic champion Ted Ligety. The pictures, some of which have yet to be
revealed, are nude action shots featuring a range of sports including
mountain biking, climbing and skiing. In a video on the calendar website
the team behind the project explain how the...More... |

Year in Review: Gordon Kent exposes the world of naked scuba diving
|
|---|
How can you resist writing about people learning scuba diving without a
common piece of equipment - the bathing suit? I was intrigued. The
organizers from CottonTail Corner bared all about the attraction of
floating underwater in the altogether, and the opportunity to come up
with 1,001 synonyms for "nude" was too much fun to resist. Then there
was the challenge of taking pictures that demonstrated what was
happening while remaining tasteful. Photographer Shaughn Butts did a
terrific job of finding an interesting shot that could still run in a
family...More... |

Meet the two brothers rowing naked across the Atlantic Ocean
|
|---|
If you’re going to row a boat across the Atlantic Ocean, you should
probably do it naked. At least so goes the thinking of John and Kurt
Schwartz, who are doing just that - rowing across the Atlantic Ocean,
naked. No, hear them out. The two brothers (John is 33 years old, Kurt
is 29) figure it will take more than a million oar strokes apiece to
complete the voyage. Conditions will be wet, and often cold. You want to
reduce friction as much as possible, to cut back on blisters and sores
and such. So, naturally, you row au naturel. "It's not atypical," John
said. "Certainly...More... |

The MCA’s naked tours give you a different view of art ... and of each other
|
|---|
On a Saturday morning in November, at the start of a weekend of
celebrations for the 25th birthday of Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary
Art, I was standing on the building’s terrace with one of its board
members, Lisa Paulsen. We took in the view of the Harbour Bridge and the
Opera House and talked about the exhibition we’d just seen, of works
the museum had collected over its quarter-century life. The odd thing
was that we were both naked. We’d just spent an hour-and-a-half with
about 30 others, all of them unclothed, viewing an exhibition under the
guidance of...More... |

Nudist hermit Peter O’Neill lived alone in the Wicklow Mountains for over 20 years
|
|---|
This is the mysterious man who lived alone in the Wicklow mountains for
more than 20 years. Peter O’Neill was 71 when he was discovered dead at
his remote dwelling in the Glenmalure Hills, where he had spent the
past two decades. He’d been dead for several months when he was finally
found after a local hotel reported he had not come to collect his post
in a while. With no friends or family, little is known about the
English-accented man called Peter - or indeed if that was his real name.
A new RTE documentary, which airs tonight, explores ...More... |

forests with a focus on expressing unconditional love. These rare images
have captured an insight into the daily life of the liberated
communities. One photo shows men and women holding hands in a circle on

These breathtaking photos show naked models camouflaged perfectly
against a backdrop of famous landmarks thanks to some meticulously
applied body paint. New York artist Trina Merry, who specialises in
bodypainting, lines her subjects up and photographs them so they appear
to blend right into the scenery around them, which ranges from rural
Normandy to picturesque Istanbul and busy New York. The backdrops...More... |

The naked man: why composer Andrew Batt-Rawden was nude at his own premiere
|
|---|
Composer Andrew Batt-Rawden, 31, and I are at a cafe on the edge of
Sydney Harbour. Batt-Rawden is saying no to a muffin with his mineral
water. "Are you sure?" asks the cafe person. "Look, they have choc
chips!" "Wow!" enthuses Batt-Rawden in his very clear voice. "But I’ve
got to be naked tonight, so I can’t." I can vouch for this. I met
Batt-Rawden - composer, festival director, arts administrator, magazine
owner, and once-was-oboe-player - last night, at the world premiere of
27, his work for string quartet. And he was, indeed, naked...More... |

Nudist park is planned for Paris

|---|
Nudists in Paris will soon be able to shed their clothes without fear
of arrest, as city council members have approved plans for an official
park for naked people. A campaigner working on the project told CNN the
exact location is yet to be decided, but it will likely be near Lac
Daumesnil in the southeast of the city. A spokesman for Deputy Mayor of
Paris Bruno Julliard, who has supported the plan, confirmed it was
approved...More... |

A nudist retreat nestled below the Santa Cruz Mountains is opening its
door to all Loma Fire refugees and their animals "until the fire’s out.”
Lupin Lodge CEO Lori Stout told NBC Bay Area on Friday that many

Nude Portraits Without Nipples Challenge Sexist Censorship Policies
|
|---|
Artist Sasha Frolova’s dreamlike series "Busts" was inspired by an
occurrence familiar to many women online: the internet tried to police
her body. Around a year and a half ago, Frolova took a self-portrait in
the bathtub shortly after suffering a panic attack. Although the image
wasn’t in any way sexual or suggestive - to Frolova, the image was one
of vulnerability and strength - Facebook (and Instagram) censored it...More... |

It’s not a Seattle nude beach, but that’s not stopping nudists
|

There’s an unofficial nude beach in Seattle and it’s starting to bother
neighbors. Nude sunbathers are openly showing their skin at Denny
Blaine Park near the Madrona neighborhood. Neighbors are complaining
about the revealing situation. There are a whole bunch of people who are
sunbathing in the buff, and the park is technically not a Seattle nude
beach. So they are turning to the city but, as it turns out, there is
no...More... |
