Nakation, anyone?

Christopher Elliott, Travel columnist for msnbc.com has written an article about the "5 reasons to bare it all on your next vacation". You can read it here.

From the article: "It’ll open your mind...Take it from someone whose neighbors were nudists: Going clothes-free can be an enlightening experience. I only mention this because many of us are looking for a different perspective when we’re on vacation, and removing our clothes can certainly offer that."

Step 1:
Rid yourself of cultural myths about nudity. You may have grown up thinking that nudity is something dirty or that it always means sexuality. In fact, nudity is our natural state as humans and is no more sexual or dirty than being clothed.

Step 2:
Sleep in the nude. If you are not used to being nude, start by simply sleeping with no clothing on. This will get you acclimated to being nude, and you may even find it a more comfortable way to sleep.

Step 3:
Wait to dress after showering. After your shower, towel dry, put the towel away and go on about your preparations. Since you were nude in the shower, extending the nudity won't feel as strange as would simply taking off your clothes.

Step 4:
Go nude whenever your house is warm. Try cleaning your house, watching television or cooking dinner nude.

Step 5:
Spend some time nude outdoors if you have a well-screened patio or yard. Moving your nudity outside will probably feel strange at first, even if you were comfortable inside. Try doing a single activity outdoors: tend to your garden, enjoy a cup of coffee or sunbathe.

Nude Jogging at the White House

This item appeared in the Washington Post on 01/07/10.

A man created a scene -- and a Secret Service scare -- near the White House during rush hour Wednesday evening when he stripped to the buff and took off running, leaving his bag of clothes unattended on the Ellipse.

The man shed his clothes near 15th and E streets, at the northwest corner of the Ellipse, about 5 p.m. Wednesday, then began running up and down E Street, apparently not dissuaded by the 25-degree windchill factor as the sun set, Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said.

"He wasn't yelling or protesting. Just going for a jog," Wiley said.

Secret Service and D.C. police officers chased the man after he refused to stop.

"He was apprehended, naked though he was," Wiley said.

But the man's jog created another problem: The bag into which he packed his clothes before setting off on his run had been left unattended, meaning it had to be classified as a suspicious package. The Secret Service cordoned off the area and investigated the bag, and, after determining it contained only the man's cast-off garments, cleared the scene.

The man is in Secret Service custody but has not been charged, Wiley said.
