Out? Or In?

(No, that is not a picture of me, obviously, heheh.) So, this is one of my favorite stories to relay about the magazine's Wendover Weekends we've done in the past. The first year, we were at Montego Bay for most of our events. We did lube wrestling, a whipped cream bikini contest (which almost cost us replacing the carpet in the conference center) and a black-out dance party. It was the latter that caused my heart to thump. The black-out party was lit only by black lights. I was in my underwear in the back corner, furthest from the door, running music, as the DJ we had hired bailed on us. My setup was a laptop full of MP3s and a sound board on 2 folding tables creating a DJ booth. Most everyone was in their underwear, dancing to some new music I found out of Germany. About an hour into the...

“When I cast off my clothes, I cast off my cares.” —Horace Walpole The first day of springtime doesn’t guarantee a spontaneous arrival of balmy temperatures, sunshine and blue skies. No seasonal transition delivers immediate change in prevailing weather conditions anywhere on our planet. Nature doesn’t operate on the principle of instant gratification. It does give us a psychological advantage: the bitter and frigid temperatures of winter are headed into oblivion. Gradually, we’ll experience a warming in the air and the rebirth of both flowers and foliage. A colorful resurrection of nature from the barren, dormant past three months. Personally, the first day of Spring brings a renewed surge of energy. It’s easier to get out of bed in the morning. Boring and repetitive daily routines lose s...

I'm sorry, but hell to the no. This man holds the world record for walking the longest length of slackline - like a tightrope, but not nearly so tight, 200 feet in the air without any kind of safety line. But last year, Andy Lewis and some friends did it in Moab with safety lines. Balancing 200 feet above the ground below, these slackliners took the expression of living dangerously even one step further — by tightrope walking naked. Oh, but he had to outdo them all and even take it another step. He strapped his safety line to his genitals. That, to me, would be an extra incentive not to slip and fall. The group was taking part in the Gobble Gobble Bitches Yeah Highline Festival in Moab, Utah. And here he is in a video naked, high above the canyon floor in a 2012 run in Yosemite, California...

LAND O’ LAKES — Pasco County’s nudists are going national this week with a reality television show titled “Buying Naked,” which follows the exploits of real estate agent Jackie Youngblood, who specializes in selling homes in clothing-optional communities. The show debued on Nov. 20 on TLC, and viewers will see two back-to-back half-hour episodes as Youngblood helps couples find their dream homes and offers safety tips for avoiding the household hazards inherent with naked living. See a trailer here. Some clever camera work keeps the show from becoming too revealing, said Joey Skladany, a publicist for TLC. “No blurring at all,” he said. “Just great camera angles and (strategically placed) objects around the house.” A preview on the TLC.com website shows nudists riding a golf cart, using a ...
