U.S. artist Spencer Tunick’s next mass nude installation will take place in November at a Sydney beach. ‘We’re hoping for a rainbow of people,’ he says.

This from GreenBelly Meals: Naked Hiking Day is the day when clothes come off and body parts breathe freely. Thru-hikers, weekend backpackers, and day hikers annually unite across the globe for one day to shamelessly hit the trails in their birthday suits.

This 1933 documentary film shows a reporter assigned to write an article on a nudist camp. The film was designed to be shown at small movie theaters as a shocking, exploitation-type movie. Movies of this type were frequently shown at circuses, sideshows, and other traveling shows. The 35-minute film is basically a tour of a nudist camp, showing the people at meals, playing volleyball, baseball, hiking, jogging, playing leapfrog, and other daily activities, except they are all nude. A somewhat amusing and funny film, especially when watched today.
