The Daily Newds


  • Two South Carolina students decided to go streaking. They did not expect that some harmless college fun would cause them to be kicked off the swim team and to be charged by police with indecent exposure.
  • The Autism Society of Florida will gladly take the donation offered by the Tampa Erotic Ball, but they do not want their name to be associated with the adult event.
  • Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier confirms the common perception of what Scottish men wear under their kilts.
    "Then I went to the wedding of Madonna in Scotland," he continues, "and I was wearing a kilt. And the husband, Guy Ritchie, because his family is from Scotland, was wearing a kilt. So I asked if the legend was true that you wear nothing under it, and he told me, Yes! VoilĂ !'" Gaultier mimics Ritchie lifting his kilt and revealing all. "So now I know that it's true. Until that time I didn't follow the tradition but now I definitely do."
  • If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around, does it make a sound? Accordingly, if a person is naked in public and nobody complains, it it a crime? In the case of Naked Rambler Stephen Gough, a judge ruled that his recent nude appearance in a public car park was not a disturbance of the peace because there was no evidence that his natural state had caused anyone alarm.
  • It's not the naturists, it's the increase in traffic that is upsetting some by the recent designation of a nude beach in the UK.
  • A woman with an Ivy League degree who is in the third year of Brooklyn Law School appeared naked on Playboy TV and now faces the possibility of not being admitted to the New York State Bar.
  • In England, the path of a $726 million tunnel will be slightly moved in order to preserve a 400 year old tree with the carving of a nude woman.
  • Naturists in a Moscow group struggle for acceptance in the face of strong disapproval from authorities and the religious community.
    For now, members don't look very worried. A woman wearing only goggles whooped as she plunged down a waterslide. In the sport center's tiny banya, both sexes cheerfully squashed up against each other, rows of pink thighs glistening with sweat. They did exercises said to expel bacteria from the nose and esophagus, unclenching their fists at nipple height and simultaneously snorting. "Not bad," a woman said, smiling to a friend.
  • On April 17, the Supreme Court will rule whether or not some Florida attorneys are entitled to fee reimbursement from the state of Florida for services rendered in defending a group of naturists who posed nude in the shape of a peace symbol to protest the war in Iraq. While the first amendment is not specifically under attack in this case, a ruling against the reimbursement could mean that attorneys will be less willing to take on civil rights cases knowing that there is little or no chance of being paid.
  • It's not too late to sign up for the 5k Fig Leaf clothing-optional run at Paradise Valley Resort near Dawsonville, Georgia.

Unfortunately, people living near Reef Beach, in Sydney, based much of their objection to nudists on that beach, on the fact that it was too popular in our climate and attracted so many visitors, who parked their cars in near-by streets.
We lost Reef Beach and now go to Cobblers and Obelisk Beaches, at Middle Head, where parking is often, on hot days, (almost) impossible.
We need more legal beaches.
