The Newest Naked News Brought To You Personally By FKK

In this naked news roundup, we have got some stories on nude beach controversy, states that have not legalized public breastfeeding, and why some folks can’t stand to see happy, fat people.
Naturism
– Among The greatest ways for a naturist company to triumph will be to rank #1 among all similar local businesses, both nude and textile. The clothing-optional Clover Spa & Hotel was ranked as the best hotel in Birmingham, UK on Trivago (resort comparison site). [Birmingham Mail]
– A look at hiking nude and soaking in clothing-optional hot springs on Orient Land Trust in Colorado. [Active Naturists]
– An unofficial nude beach in South Okanagan, Canada called Three Mile Beach may lose its clothing-optional status because of complaints from nearby residents new to the place. The plage itself is on public land and has been clothing-optional for over 50 years. Local naturists say that residents knew about the unclothed beach before purchasing property next to it. Obviously the opponents have already been making claims of lewd / sexual behaviour on the strand. There is an online petition to save the playa, now at 843 signatures and wanting at least 1,000. It’s not comprehensive or well-written, but it’s wise to sign and show support! (Even should youn’t live in the region.)
Naked Stories
– Nudists on TV are the Butts of the Joke , a Boy Scout leader in San Diego took his troop on a hike that went through a bare beach called Black’s Beach. This was all over the news with plenty of play created by one distressed parent. You would believe the kids were exposed to atomic waste, rather than only the sight of nude bodies. The scout leader’s superiors and other parents have stood by him and say the foray onto the naked beach was unintentional and fast corrected. No matter what really occurred, it appears fairly clear that no children were hurt by any naked people. [UT San Diego]
– Florida legislature inadvertently caused it to be legal for amateurs to send each other naked pictures. This can be likely temporary, but it is not necessarily clear why this has to be illegal in the first place. [Slate]
Breastfeeding and Topfree Equality
– Breastfeeding in public should already be legal everywhere in the U.Sbut it is not! Virginia simply passed a law to make it legal. Now it’s South Dakota and Idaho’s turn, the two remaining states where the law does not protect public breastfeeding. [13 News Now]
– Chelsea Handler has become a genuine representative for topfree equality. “I do not comprehend why aggressive or threatening situations. 31 Freud wrote that numerous men are nudity,” she said in an Elle interview. But she also made some problematic opinions, like “Yes, no one should reveal their vagina.” Chelsea, do you not see the contradiction in asking for the right to exhibit your body as you desire, while denying others’ right to do precisely the same? Get it together. [Elle]
Body Image
– Plus-size model and body-positive activist Tess Munster recently became the first model of her size (22) to sign with a major service. This is astounding news. Plussize agency models are often at least 5’8″ tall and size 8 – 16. Several years past, Tess began the effort / hashtag #effyourbeautystandards to encourage others to accept and see themselves as beautiful at any size. [NY Daily News]
– Some folks can’t stand the fact that Tess is a fat, happy fashion model. Her place in the limelight has draw in its fair share of hateful comments, judgment and criticism. Jes at the Militant Baker examines why people seem to despise happy, fat people so much. One of several great points: “People who love their bodies don’t try to purposefully make other people hate their own.” [The Militant Baker]
– Bryn Mawr University decided it was not doing enough fat shaming of its “fat” students (based on BMI), so they emailed them all and invited them to enter a weight loss program. The students quickly made the college realize their error. [CBS News]
– Here’s an introduction to several notable body-positive activists. [Mic]
Censorship
– A Brief History Of Art Censorship From 1508 To 2014. Funny how we’re still censoring artwork for exactly the same motives now. [HuffPost]
Art
– THEMUSEUM in Ontario, Canada, could have a new display called “Getting Naked,” opening on March 7. They will be showcasing about a hundred naked works of art from contemporary artists. The museum’s CEO David Marskell says, “This is a rare opportunity to not only see these incredible works of art, but also have a dialog about why Canadian culture shy’s away from nudity.” (Related: Read about stats from a survey estimating how many Canadians actually do get naked.) [570 News]
Watch
– In the last roundup, we had “Things Girls Are Tired Are of Hearing About Their Bodies.” Now, we get to hear from men! Let’s not forget that people of sexes confront body image problems.
Oldie but Goodie
– An amazing body-positive mother talks about how social nudity (in this case, at a Korean spa) opens one’s eyes to how varied people’s bodies actually are. The only problem is her use of the word “nudist,” since a Korean spa just isn’t actually a nudist club. [HuffPost]
