Hormel’s ‘Naturalist’ commercial
Hormel takes aim on a misguided use of the word naturalist in their latest, greatest commercial. For those unsure, here are the Webster definitions of "Naturalist" and "Naturist": naturalist, noun nat·u·ral·ist \-list\: person who studies plants and animals as they live in nature naturist, adjective or noun \ˈnü-dist, ˈnyü-\ : one who does not wear any clothes especially in private places (such as camps or beaches) that are separated from public areas
Belarusians strip naked after accidental order from their president
Belarusians have been stripping down naked at their offices and posting images to social media after a slip of tongue by autocratic leader Alexander Lukashenko left him suggesting people should "get undressed and work." “Innovations, IT technologies, privatization — it is all clear. We’ve conquered all of them. But in the end, it is very simple: one should get undressed and work,” the leader told a conference in Minsk last week. Analysts of Russian say that the 61-year-old Mr Lukashenko probably meant to say “develop” (развивать) instead of strip off (раздеваться), as the two verbs sound very similar.

Video: Naked Wrestling at Burning Man
naked oil wrestling at Burning Man 2015 from Active Naturists on Vimeo. Camp Gymnasium organized naked oil wrestling at Burning Man in 2015 – their first time as a theme camp and two successful events. For many, it was the first experience of public nudity, and it was a fun and great way to try it. Wrestling is very engaging, as it has strong physical and social aspects, only enhanced by nudity. They used sumo rules, which they say are the easiest to follow among types of wrestling. They added "Greekness" to it by slathering the naked contestants in olive oil, as a reference to the authentic Olympics. Read more at: activenaturists.net/gymnasium-camp/
Triangle Camp Storm Trooper photo shoot
A few summers ago at Triangle Recreation Camp, a gay-owned private recreational campground. The intent was to do a naked outdoor shoot with photographer JayBee and camp and have fun. It’s not normally his thing, outdoor photography. It was, according to the organizer, a perfect collaboration of ideas, people, location, skill, and playfulness. Out of over 1,000 images he selected these. "I am amazed at the diversity of images that we got in just two plus hours. You’ll see that sometimes it feels like you’re witnessing a couple’s intimate tent moment, a freaky lord of the flies scene, where’s waldo, or storm troopers randomness. I particularly love getting people’s faces in the images, but since some guys prefer not to be out there like this, the mask is a funny compromise. It allows for nak...
