Product Information

Out-of-the-blue we received an invitation from Dave Nadel to perform in his club, Ashkenaz. He wanted to host a benefit for the legal fees in our attempt to overturn the recently-passed Berkeley anti-nudity ordinance. Ashkenaz is a big venue, so, we thought, why not come up with some ambitious new material? While membership in the UK is booming, overseas the naturist community is grappling with a new problem. Last week, French regional health authorities said there had been a “very worrying” outbreak of coronavirus at the Cap d’Adge resort, a naturist holiday resort on the French Mediterranean coast, with 95 people testing positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile in the Czech Republic, law enforcers issued a warning in March after a group of naturists had to be reminded to wear face masks as they basked in warm weather. Our chatroom is a small, fairly quiet one where people can really get to know each other. It is aimed at the more mature, genuine UK naturist, although we welcome people of all ages from all over the world. Webster spent months “in and out of depression” after his marriage broke down six years ago and struggled with body confidence issues throughout his life. However, he says joining BN has been an “awakening” for his self-esteem. "I’d never been naked in front of anyone before, but suddenly I found myself sitting in front of 40 to 50 people on Zoom without a care in the world. It’s liberating, and it’s made me look at myself with a lot more confidence. This is my third chance at life, so I’m going to live it how I please.”

The film follows six friends ( Stephen Fry, Branagh, Alphonsia Emmanuel, Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton and Emma Thompson), members of an acting troupe who graduated from Cambridge University in 1982 and went their separate ways. Ten years later, Peter inherits a large estate from his father and invites the group to spend the New Year's holiday with him. Every time I do another naked event, my confidence grows, and I feel so at peace with my body. I wish society would understand that there's nothing weird or strange about being naked," she tells me. Siobhan’s three children, aged 36, 29 and 26, have been supportive of her decision, although one of her daughters has asked not to be invited to a naked Sunday lunch because “the idea of hot gravy is a bit scary.” Andrew and Carol's marriage is strained by the demands of her fame, made worse by Mary's inappropriate mention that Andrew and Sarah had been engaged a decade earlier. Roger and Mary are recovering from a devastating personal tragedy, made more difficult by Mary ringing home every few minutes and by Brian suddenly talking at length about using their twins in one of their commercials, which leads to the revelation (to Brian, and the audience) that one of the toddler twins died nine months earlier. Lonely Maggie is determined to persuade Peter they should be more than just friends, and Sarah is not as happy with her life as she appears.

Peter's Friends was nominated for a Goya Award and won two Evening Standard British Film Awards. It also ranked in eighth place on the National Board of Review's Top Ten 1992 films.

Pasco gets its reputation as nudist capital of the world as home to roughly a dozen communities — out of about 270 in the United States — and the few restrictions it poses on them, according to Pasco Naturally magazine. As many as 300 people live at Pasco's oldest community, Lake Como Co-op, during peak times. Altogether, Pasco's nudist population represents an important tax and volunteer base for the county, Oakes said, which is why she think it's important European nudists visit to help it grow. From 1992 to 2001, X-plicit Players held an annual "Parade" in Berkeley, "celebrating the beauty of the body, and the beauty of the liberation of the body from boring fashion and repressive social standards". It was promoted by word-of-mouth, street posters, newspaper and internet listings, but in later years we put together aPam Oakes, who helps the chamber bring nudist tourists to Pasco from abroad, wants the Krauses to go home and tell their nudist friends to vacation here. The mainly two-bed bungalows come with all mod cons, including mains ­electricity, water and sewage. Welcome to InTheBuff aka ITB, firstly thank you for visiting, if you are looking for information about naturism and naturists, you have come to the right place. Roger Ebert, film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, described the film as "more or less predictable", but awarded it three-and-a-half stars, stating, "The structure of Peter's Friends is not blazingly original - The Big Chill comes instantly to mind - but a movie like this succeeds in its particulars. If the dialogue is witty, if the characters are convincingly funny or sad, if there is the right bittersweet nostalgia and the sense that someone is likely to burst into ' Those Were the Days,' then it doesn't matter that we've seen the formula before. This is a new weekend with new friends." [8] The heart of the village is its club house where the residents get together in the altogether for discos, karaoke sessions, quiz nights and pool tournaments.

Welch assures me that the naturist community in the UK hasn’t been hit by any of the same problems; in fact, he says that the organisation is set for a “landmark year – despite all the tragedy that Covid-19 has brought.”Members at ITB are a friendly open minded group of people whose lives are touched by naturism, whether they are a beach-only naturist, a home naturist, or a full time naturist. Everyone is welcome here, to chat, to discuss, to engage with like minded people, and to learn and understand why the human body is the most natural thing in the world. For Jewish families, a specially trained religious person called a Mohel does the circumcision as part of a ceremony called a Bris, held on the eighth day of life. Circumcision is also routinely performed on the sons of those of the Islamic faith, typically when a boy is between 5 and 10 years of age. In the United States non-religious circumcision is usually done by a doctor in the first few days of life; other countries also perform the procedure for non-religious reasons as a matter of social custom.

Peter's Friends is a 1992 British comedy film directed and produced by Kenneth Branagh, and written by Rita Rudner and Martin Bergman.

This now completes the updates in our "Rites and Practices" section since I took over from Chris. Some of it is re-formatting but also lots of new information. She said: “The places get bought and sold like anywhere else. People sometimes move on when they retire and go to somewhere sunnier. However, in day-to-day life, Welch insists that practising naturism doesn’t mean that he’s naked all the time at home as he “feels the cold a bit too much.”
