“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
