The Daily Newds

  • It's World Naked Bike Ride Day and reports are coming in from all over including Spain, UK, Chicago, Vermont, Mexico City, and Australia.
  • Famke Janssen comes from a nudist family and was not shocked to see Sir Ian McKellen "flopping in the wind".
  • There is a difference between Michelangelo and Playboy when it comes to the naked human form, but paintings of Jesus nude on the cross can be a bit controversial.
  • Baden-Baden's Roman baths might not really hold healing powers, but at least you get to commune with a lot of other naked people.
  • Jennifer Aniston is a nudist at heart if not in real life, based upon the apparent joy she experienced at being completely nude for her latest movie "The Break-Up".
  • Germany is so far ahead of the United States in terms of body acceptance and plain common sense. Here is a wonderful article written by an American woman living in Stuttgart on experiencing the natural and healthy coed nudity in the spas called "The Beauty of Every Naked Body".
  • An Australian is completely confused how American society can permit images of graphic violence on television, yet it is illegal for women to be topless at the beach. "Is there nothing more natural than being received naked by the ocean?"
  • Are attitudes regarding nudity changing? One writer ponders the tug-of-war between nudes and prudes and concludes that we cannot keep blaming the Victorians for antique attitudes. The inspiration for the article was the story of a nurse who was arrested for being nude on her private property, and here's an in-depth story about the incident. It's completely amazing that the mere sight of a naked human being has created such controversey and has "devastated" the lives of those involved.
