The Daily Newds


  • In the Austrian Alps, it's considered a tad silly to wear a swimsuit into the sauna.
  • A Chanel ad has been deemed too "hot" for broadcast even though it contains no nudity.
  • A Wisconsin tavern owner has been holding "Fetish Night" for more than six years without incident, but recently was handed a citation for indecency because of some soft-core videos that were shown.
    "Isn't it a moral issue?" Larsen, a former town supervisor, said. "I guess I don't want the town to be noted for its pornography in bars. There's laws against it."
  • Nudists in Idaho are getting some exposure from the Boise Weekly.
    Water, it seems, is the key ingredient in almost any nudist gathering, and Barebackers membership chairman "Larry" says that it figures centrally in recruiting new members to the group. "Skinny dipping is the single biggest experience that Americans have to relate to [nudism]," he explains, citing his decades of nude-beach swimming prior to joining the Bare Backers only five years ago. "It is simply so much nicer not to have to wear those clammy things [trunks] than to swim in them. I just wish that it was more encouraged in this country."
  • Neighbors of a woman who likes to walk about freely in the nude have failed in their efforts to have her evicted.
    The landlord had unsuccessfully tried to talk the woman into improving her behaviour, but she insisted that she could walk around naked if she wanted to.
  • Australian nudists have been given 12 months to prove that they can maintain good behavior if they want to keep their nude beach status.
  • Paradise Lakes Resort will host a Body Art Festival and “Cotton Tail 5K” Run on Saturday, April 21.
  • Prosecutors in China had no legal case against a woman who organized nude chats on the Internet.
  • Two clubs in the UK have been given permission for all-nude dancers.
  • A Ronald McDonald house has told a woman that she cannot breastfeed her child in a communal dining area. The 17 month old baby is recovering from surgery for a brain tumor.
  • 60% of young Israelis find the sight of a nursing mother offensive.
  • An Alabama County Commissioner is cracking down on adult businesses.
    "This whole thing is kind of silly," said Nate Davis, of Autauga County. "There's real problems out there the commission should be dealing with. There are no nudie bars or dirty bookstores in the county. I don't see what all the fuss is over."
  • A Spanish politician has once again posed nude for a magazine, this time for the cover, an still has support from both parties.
  • Mexico might ban a Spencer Tunick nude photo shoot planned to be staged at ancient pyramids.

Spencer will be doing an installation in Mexico City on 06 May even though it may not be near the pyramids. He also has an upcoming even in Amsterdam on 03 June. A small event of 85 people took place this last Sundy in a field of tulips in Holland, as a prologue to the one in June.
