QUOTES 5/6/2020

“I always sleep naked.  The idea of wearing clothes in bed seems bizarre to me.  If I wake in the early hours and am restless, I often go out and walk around outside my block of flats, only in the summer time of course!” – Markstevens, http://www.naturist-corner.net/community/index.php?topic=15591.225;topicseen

“Next week, London's first 'naked restaurant' opens. . . the idea behind The Bunyadi is a kinda back-to-nature vibe, where staff and customers are unclothed, phones are banned and there's no electricity – with food being cooked over a fire and light coming from candles.  A full week ahead of the public launch, we stripped off and went to eat dinner with unclothed guests.  First, you pull aside the velvet curtain and enter . . . After ordering a drink, you're ushered into a private changing room and instructed to remove your clothes, put all worldly possessions in a locker and change into a robe.  Back into the bar, guests sipped cocktails and made small talk in white towelling robes.  But instead of a post-facial glow, there was a pre-naked glow about the place; each guest eyeing the door, gearing up to be called through to the restaurant to dine in the buff.  Our waitress wore nothing but a well-placed fig leaf and a smile as she led us to our booth, where we threw off our robes with gusto . . . The five-course menu (just about visible in the candlelight) stays true to the au naturel concept; ingredients are either raw or cooked on a wood grill and diners choose between vegan or non-vegan – think cured salmon with seaweed salad and sun-dried tomato-stuffed courgette flowers.  It's all served on Flintstones-esque clay crockery with edible cutlery (spoons made out of bread or veg) and the (very drinkable) organic, preservative-free wines made the whole experience more pleasant. . . Like its 40,000-long waiting list, the idea of a naked restaurant is pretty mind-boggling and the excitement in the air matched the buzz.  If you're the kind of person who goes to restaurants entirely based on their menu, this probably isn't for you: the food isn't so much the point as having a ball in your birthday suit, and the sophisticated, semi-darkness provided the perfect setting to do so.” - http://www.timeout.com/london/blog/exclusive-this-is-what-its-like-to-eat-at-the-naked-restaurant-060616

“We’re intentionally naked. . . The term ‘intentional’ implies just that . . . we don’t need a mandate to live naked.  Living naked IS our mandate.” - Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1
