Welcome to my monthly updating observations about naturism and nudism in the media ....
Q. How do you feel ?
Busy with Mr Bond and trying to keep up here, with the warmer weather it's nice to be writing nude again ...
Q. Seen anything in the papers & mags ?
Spotted the following items in my daily tabloid paper, The Sun ...
A catch-up cartoon from February ( I've got more ! ) I don't know why you want your lady to take photos on your honeymoon night but she replies to the disappointed nude groom : "Oh well, at least I can get the photos enlarged." It doesn't bode well for a long or loving relationship ( 13/02 ).
Is NAKED the latest in-word ? Do we blame/thank Gok ? Seen right is part of a full page advert for the sister paper's Sunday magazine called Fabulous with nude tv presenter Lisa Snowdon with arms over chest for operation cover-up ( I wonder how much time in make-up and with hairdresser ? ) on the cover telling us to Get Naked! and among the text "..They're all stripped for Fabulous - The Naked Issue." Hey let's all strip shall we ? Alas didn't buy the Sunday paper so unable to report on the revelations ( 03/05 ).
What is it with rugby players stripping off ? A photo item for Cosmopolitan's Naked Centrefolds Special has "rising England rugby star Danny Cipriani [who] gets his kit off and shows why girls are keen to make a pass." The pose was "to help kick off the male cancer Everyman Campaign". Ladies enjoy, I would prefer actress Cameron Diaz who appears on the cover ( 07/05 ).
Next day and blink and you miss a paragraph headed GET YOUR KIT OFF as "A mass striptease Austria's rugby team did after a 48-0 defeat in Lithuania was videoed and put on the internet. Guys enough ! ( 08/05 ).
A paragraph headed BEACH BUM caught my eye, not about being nude but the showing of parts as "cops barred Bob Hezzlewood, 61, from a beach in Fort Myers, Florida, for showing too much flesh by rolling up his trunks." Perhaps the police had seen enough ? ( 13/05 ).
You know that I regular follower of the paper's cartoon couple George & Lynne but I've been wondering if they're related to Dr Who as they never seem to age, they have no kids and Lynne's Page 3 boobs have defied gravity over the years. Today's story has Lynne curing hiccups by showing her hubby the latest credit card bill. It also helps if you walk around topless ! ( 26/04 ).
Q. Seen anything on tv ?
Slightly distracted by the newspaper background montage on the new series of Have I Got News For You ( BBC-1, Fri 21:00 ), have you spotted the word Nudist over Paul Merton's right shoulder ? ( 18/04 ).
So till the next time enjoy any sun if you can !
Steve
PS. I've moved 35 and reinstated 25 & 15 at my old address at Tripod - last time it was closed, so I'm not holding my breath to see if it offends again.
PPS. A chance to air your views at my forum ( under development) about my 4 websites.
