Happy Halloween

"Can’t decide what to wear for Halloween?  Forego the clothes and just bare it all. . . ‘I was a treasure troll last year, so I wore a red wig and had a blinky thing in my belly button . . . One year, I was Miss Piggy and all I had on was a blonde wig, feather boa, high heels, tail and a snout.’ . . . Her husband has dressed up as ‘SpongeBob NoPants,’ and last year he went as a lucha libre professional wrestler. . . ‘You have a lot of options for costumes when it doesn’t matter if you’re naked or not naked . . . It’s all up to your imagination.  As the night goes on, the costumes usually start to come off.  By the end of the evening, people might not be wearing much of anything.’ . . . Whitney said his wife plans to be an alien, wearing just a mask and pasties.  Whitney is dressing up as a space cowboy with a vest, laser gun, cowboy hat, boots ‘and that’s about it’ . . . ” – Hannah Rodriguez, Dawnzella Gearhart, Dennis Whitney, https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/spongebob-nopants-and-body-paint-halloween-offers-seattle-area-nudists-chance-to-celebrate-amid-fading-popularity/

“I love hiking, relaxing with friends, a walk down by the water in the Gorge or just sitting and listening to the sounds of nature in the woods.  All nude of course.  I feel closer to nature without anything to bog me down, like clothing.  It's great to hang nude with friends just talking or hiking through the woods or down by the water.  My last trip I spent the weekend relaxing, hanging out with a fellow camper and walking through the woods nude.  I feel so comfortable and relaxed nude out-doors.  It's the best thing to do when one needs to get away from the city.” – ColdnNude, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=132&idt=50798&vpage=1

“If you want your growing children's bodies to be seen as sex toys only then keep the blinkers on.  If you want to be seen as a person and beat the media image issues, then what are you waiting for?  There will always be idiots who look and lust, but is it not time they became the minority and it was they who were not accepted, not us?” – https://ca.news.yahoo.com/housekeeping-works-overtime-and-other-confessions-from-a-nudist-resort-224722461.html

“I have a super-supportive and understanding spouse who tolerates my naturist ways even though she doesn’t want to participate with me. Every year I hope against hope that she’ll have an epiphany like I did, but I may be forced to realize that, like most ‘normal’ people, she may never see things from our liberated point of view.  And this makes me supremely sad.” - Wayne Brake, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturist-epiphany-part-2/

“I woke up this morning and just kind of laid around in bed for a while letting the sheets flow across my skin.  I just like the feeling in the morning of the sheets against my nakedness.  If you haven’t tried sleeping nude, I highly recommend it.  It is so much more comfortable than trying to sleep with clothes aggravatingly tugging on you all night long.” - http://nudisuzie.com/page/4/

“. . . most people realize that being naked is no big deal only after trying it.” – Sunnt Jim, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=21770.0;topicseen

“I have a 4-year-old who loves to be naked. I’m glad that she’s comfortable with her body, and I’m okay with her being without clothes at home, as long as it’s within certain boundaries. Over the past month or so, she has started to keep clothes on more during the day, but she still prefers to sleep in the buff. My parents, who live three hours away and have started to stay with us one weekend, every month, are clearly freaked out by this. Because my parents are immediate family members, at first I thought the “house guest rule” didn’t necessarily apply, but they are clearly upset when she wants to be naked. I even overheard my father telling her that “good girls wear clothes” (which turned my stomach). I’m willing to keep clothes on her during the daytime of their visits, but for bedtime I feel as if there’s no truly good reason why she should have to wear pajamas. Am I being too freewheeling with my daughter’s nudity?” - https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/on-parenting/their-4-year-old-wants-to-sleep-without-clothes/2016/05/31/5426843a-22a3-11e6-8690-f14ca9de2972_story.html

“. . . I am 38 years old, I’ve been a nudist for over 15 years, I am happily married, and I am mom to three of the greatest kids in the world.  We are a nudist family. . . We are no different than any other normal family, other than the fact we don’t wear clothes when we are home or at a beach or resort that welcomes nudists. . . that’s the kind of upbringing we want our kids to have.  To be confident in who you are and not feel less than anyone else just because of the way you look.  The kids have embraced the lifestyle wholeheartedly.  They love being natural just like mom and dad, and to be honest, we struggle to get them to put on clothes when we have to leave the house for any reason.” – Grisel Quezada, http://www.naktiv.net/blog/910/my-nudist-story/

“Dechant Lake - Vienna” (Video) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEBhCVPtmRk

“If you live alone, there is no real reason for you to wear clothes ever if you don’t want to.  You don’t have to worry about privacy or offending others.  So just consider ditching your clothes any time it doesn’t feel too cold to be comfortable.  Give sleeping nude a try, and maybe leave off getting dressed in the morning until it’s time to go out.” – https://freewilluk.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/step-by-step-guide/

“A lot of first-timers are afraid their friends, children, or relatives will find out.  And God-forbid someone at work learns the truth!  Of course, how would they know unless they were there?  (In which case, you know their secret also!)  Respecting another nudist’s privacy is important. . . If someone outside the nudist world confronts you, remember as an adult you have the right to choose any lifestyle you want.  Treat the discovery as a great opportunity for a discussion about what nudism is all about (and what it isn’t.) – Nancy, http://femalenaturist.blogspot.com/search/label/Nude%20Recreation%20From%20A%20Woman%27s%20Perspective

“Though our telling family members and friends about our naturism has proven mostly positive, it does ‘color’ the discussion of, ‘Come on over for a meal.’  We have some family members who wouldn’t set foot in a (gasp!) ‘nudist colony.’ - Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1

“Splashing around in the surf without a suit is my idea of pure pleasure.” – Macnude, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=6&page=4

“Nudist girls and naturist women are fascinating . . . These women tend to have incredible confidence in their outward appearance and they are ‘unusually’ comfortable in their own skin.  In order to spend so much time without clothing, they have to get used to being their natural selves, unadorned and bare to the world. . .it is actually quite liberating.” – Jordan Blum, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naturist-women-girl-nudists-ladies-and-nudism/
