Naked Bits

Two years ago Amy Pence-Brown started a private group on Facebook called the Boise Rad Fat Collective. They are a self-described "secret society of super-sized feminazis who can't get laid and sit around complaining about our ugly clothes while eating Big Macs and cake." Except, that's not what they are. That's whatsome might think they are. They actually are a group of socially engaged Idahoans of all shapes and sizes who are fed up with mainstream media and society telling them what a valuable body should do/be/act/look like. While it started with a handful of her best strong female friends, it's expanded now to include people she's never met. A video by The Liberators International went viral of a moving social experiment where a young Liberator named Jae West shed her clothing in Londo...

Arielle Castillo from the webcast Fusion visits with Florida Young Naturists at Sunsport Gardens in Palm Beach County, Fla. for their Naked Spring Bash. "You might think of nudism — or 'naturism,' depending on where you want to go, semantically — as solely the territory of diehard, original hippies and, like, Germans," Castillo said.

So, naturally, we had to check it out. Turns out when you swap a bathing suit for a birthday suit, it becomes weirdly easy to make new friends and let it all hang out, both literally and figuratively."

A Santa Rosa, Calif. homeowner got a lot of attention for the display of nude mannequins in his yard.  A neighbor filed a complaint that Jason Windus' new fence was to high, violating city code. He decided a naked garden party was a fitting response to having to take the fence down to three feet. “As you drive through the neighborhood you’ll see that nobody else’s fence had to be cut down but mine,” Windus told KTVU News. Windus built the 6-foot-high fence on his corner lot on to keep his dogs in, but agreed to cut the fence down after being threatened with a fine. “They were going to fine me a lot of money if I didn’t cut the fence down,” Windus said. “I don’t know who [the neighbor] is and I’m sure they’re not going to come forward.” Windus said he had the mannequins lying around in the ...

New York City Youtube creator Livejn takes a road trip adventure and hopes you will get inspired to go on one yourself. "In an attempt to go cliff jumping we ended up traversing through a decimated forest and had experiences we never have before," he said.
