The Naturist Society Top Ten Lists


Nicky Hoffman, spokesperson for The Naturist Society, picks her top 10 celebrities and television shows which best represent naturist and nudist philosophies.
So who in the eyes of Hoffman is getting it right? What shows have included nudity in a manner the Naturist Society approves as tasteful and promoting healthy, appropriate nakedness? Hoffman provided Fancast with relevant top 10 lists. But first her credentials. The 59-year-old Midwesterner has been a member of the Naturist Society since 1985, and before that, she says, “I used to come home from work and the first thing I’d do was take off my clothes.” Philosophically, she believes in “promoting nudity on appropriate public lands, like nude beaches and resorts.” But she makes it clear that “nude is not lewd.” What nude is, she says, is “beautiful.”
Helen Mirren (shown above) is number one because “She’s actually a naturist and goes nude sunbathing.” Read the complete lists here.

TNS came up with pretty good lists. I don't pay much attention to celebrities or watch much TV but I think they made some good choices.

I'm surprised The Family Guy episode with the nudist family didn't make the list. I thought it showe nudism in a positive light and poked fun at common textile attitudes toward nudity.

Maybe we're making progress towards nudity becoming more accepted by the general public but we still have to stamp out pixelation.
