I found this tidbit on a Yahoo Naturist group. Has anybody else heard of this? It sounds too stupid to be true! You never know about the accuracy or authenticity of some of the "information" on the internet, but you also never know how rediculous legislators are willing to get to control people's personal lives.
Louisiana May Ban Low-Slung Pants BATON ROUGE, La. (AP)
People who wear low-slung pants that expose skin or "intimate clothing" would face a fine of up to $500 and possible jail time under a bill filed by a Jefferson Parish lawmaker. State Rep. Derrick Shepherd said he filed the bill because he was tired of catching glimpses of boxer shorts and G-strings over the lowered belt lines of young adults. The bill would punish anyone caught wearing low-riding pants with a fine of as much as $500 or as many as six months in jail, or both. "I'm sick of seeing it," said Shepherd, a first-term legislator. "The community's outraged. And if parents can't do their job, if parents can't regulate what their children wear, then there should be a law." The bill would be tacked onto the state's obscenity law, which restricts sexual activity in public places and the sale of sexually explicit items. Joe Cook, head of the American Civil Liberties Union's Louisiana chapter, said the bill probably does not meet the U.S. Supreme Court's standard for the prohibition of obscene behavior under the First Amendment. "What about a woman who is wearing a bathing suit under her garment or she has something like a sarong wrapped around her and it's below her waist," he said. "I can think of a lot of workers, plumbers, who are working and expose their buttocks."

If this is true, this clown thinks he should be able to dictate that people should dress according to his taste. Sounds to me like he should be working in government in a communist or dictatorship style nation.

sometimes I think that they should just let kids under a certain age be nude wenever they want. They practically are anyways and it would solve the indecancy (or however you spell it) because it would be normal to be nude. Like the amish, at a certain age they are given a choice between modern and the old life styles. But this time it would be nude and textiled.

The trouble with such stupid laws is that they stay on the books long after the original instigation goes away. The city of San Bruno is a small bedroom suburb of San Francisco. In the 1960's one of the three bars in town went topless. Such a sinful adulterous threat to the morals of children and infants (if adults commit adultery, infants might commit infantry) was staunched by a new local ordinance prohibiting (I am not making this up) "exposure of female breasts below a horizontal line at the top of the aureola", public hair, genitalia without public hair, butt-cracks, but not hairy pimply butt-cracks that need this law. It is still on the books. The bar closed in 1968. |

No, you misunderstand, they don't stop nudists from being nude, but their presence denies a nudist that home, the place also has vacation homes that can only be occupied for 10 months of the years, but the textiles aren't interested in those, and of course there are the day visit members.
Spielplatz is still a thriving naturist community, and one of the nicest in the UK too, well I like it there!

We can't exactly run up to them and rip their clothes off, but we can't continue to harbor nomads either.
In our case its not a dress code being violated, it's the undress code.
There is a long established naturist community in the UK called Spielplatz which has a number of resident naturists, but textiles have taken advantage of the low cost housing there, after all it is close to London where property prices are sky high.
This is a real shame, it denies naturists a place in a really nice community.

imnude2, I am aware of only 2 nudist parks that are currently owned by non-nudists:
Berkshire Vista in western MA and - -. The latter stating that he will become a nudist shortly. GymnoVita is strictly clothing optional and happily so that one of my friends and his wife can visit; she is not a nudist but accompanies him regularly.
Dan Brookstein saw the MA park as a business investment,and it paid off.

Think that's funny, this will really heat up your brain pan.
A lot of GAY BARS are not owned by GAY people. Some are owned by married conservative republicans. They know who is spending money after all. |

It never occurred to me nudist communities/resorts would have that sort of problem (with people not being nude.)
So far, I have only been reading about the issues involving the undress codes. That's funny to me to think the nudist communities/resorts experience many people with clothes on. I picture (since I never been to one) a very family oriented type nudist living (all nude) year round with few exceptions such as the weather conditions or not feeling well. But I also picture there are places, perhaps 'communities' where it is a "clothing optional" place to live where in those cases, one spouse feels comfortable without clothing and the other spouse does not feel comfortable without clothing, can at least share the other's desire to live in a "community" or "resort" along with the active nudists. This never crossed my mind because I am single and I just assumed all would be nude in a nudist resort. Which brings me to another thing about the dress code and that is I read somewhere that many of the owners are not nudists, so you would see them dressed in clothing & never nude. I was uncomfortable about that when I read it in one of the other posts & I believe it was Cheri/Admin that mentioned it so I assume it is very reliable information but still, I still do not understand that logic...(if I may say, ever so quietly, that it sounded hypocritical?) Forgive me, but I do not understand that especially when I see the strong activist for promoting nudism. ONLY my one opinion.
Still, I enjoy reading all about these issues, it really paints a good picture of many types of experiences being a nudist outside the home.

Regarding makeup...wear what makes you happy. I wear foundation from time to time. I always wear sunscreen, many foundations contain a 15 SPF. After I wash my face and shower/bathe, I put on eyeline, eye shadow, and mascara. I also put on anti-persipirant and powder. I do not lay out in the sun; am always in the shade due to meds I'm taking and I don't want to fry or have my skin look like leather.
In the summer time, I generally wear sandals. In the cooler months I wear slip on sneakers/gym shoes. I have seen some women at a dance at a park wear sandals with heels, but only at the dance.

I ASSUME that SHOES are worn and I ASSUME you have DIFFERENT functions.

Example 1: I would think people do not wear SANDALS when they go for a HIKE (Nudist function), let's be REAL. As for High Heels (they are "SHOES" and people were what they are comfortable with. I DO NOT know what types of functions, only assume they are normal functions the clothe world attend to, for this is why I ask. Example 2: I think you would "GROOM" up a bit before you walk out the door, shave, comb the mustache, beard, brush the hair...pretty up yourself, right?
Now here is where I am having MIXED feelings when I read some of these posts. The subject of shoes seem to be another ISSUE and I surely do not know about the make-up, only read so far about piercings, erections, NO "sexuality" exists, etc...at these communites/resorts. Oh well, that's okay & thank you for your honest comments. This is a place to "Talk about Nudism" and there are so so many issues (I am learning every time I read comments.) Appreciate all comments.
ImNude2,
I'm not pointing the accusatory finger here by any means, but just because we're wearing our finest suits (our birthday suits  ) doesn't mean that we lose all sense of decorum. One can still appear slovenly when they're nude. However, it really is trial and error as to finding out nudist etiquette. I guess this forum is a get-out-of-jail-free card!
Enjoy your long weekend!

Lord-have you people never hear of sandles?I wear them all summer long;to the beach and to my swimming hole.(It's a quarry,spring fed and never stagnent.)Can't swim at the beach in the buff;but there are a few places you can walk to in your SANDLES where you stand less chance of getting caught sans suit and sandles.

This may sound silly (& may already be posted somewhere) but can women wear high heel shoes? And what about men's shoes?? What sort of shoes are acceptable in the various types of nudists communities/resorts?
After reading many posts, I am getting a better picture (example: NO CLOTHES, right?) and a few other no no's but what about shoes??
And on the same subject, what about make up on women? For instance, can a woman where pink, red lipstick, mascara?? I think they can but at the sametime, I am thinking this too may imply "sexuality" so I am still lost with all the details. I know I just need to go to a nudist community/resort but I am trying to find out more from all those who have had a long/short history being a nudist at these types of venues.
Have a great weekend everyone!
