“The idea of tanning as vogue is a really recent thing. The story goes that Coco Chanel fell asleep on a boat in the 1920s and came back with a tan. She was such a fashion icon that everyone wanted to copy her . . . Then the bikini was invented in the 1940s, which continued the trend.  We started showing off our bodies more, and suddenly a tan became the symbol of leisure—you had the time and money to just lay in the sun and tan.” – Lake Eden Newsletter, Bare Facts, Personal email

“Nudism connects you with the natural surroundings in a way that you can’t when you are wearing clothes.  Connect with the Earth and feel the breeze.  Feel the blessings of nature in your natural state.   Nudism is about . . . connecting with nature in a meaningful way.” - https://clothesfreelife.com/2016/06/06/on-being-clothes-free-in-the-caribbean/

“Nudity is now found just about everywhere in our culture, due chiefly . . . to the powerful and pervasive influence of Madison Avenue and Hollywood.  They have made nudity an integral part of much of what they produce for viewing by society at large.  Partial nudity (usually very provocative) is often present in advertising.  Complete nudity is no longer a surprise at the movie theater.  The nudity of soft- and hard-core pornography is finding more and more public acceptance.  Nudity is even becoming a part of highly rated television dramas.  Whether it's welcomed or not, nudity has become a fast-growing component of our culture. . . But what kind of social convention is nudity turning out to be?  A good one or a bad one?  Many religious and community leaders as well as some lawmakers clearly view it as bad.  If they've based their decision solely upon the media's portrayal of nudity (which is quite likely), perhaps it's not surprising that they feel as they do.” - http://www.figleafforum.com/articles_redeeming_nakedness.html

“I didn't get out on the trail much [March 2016], because I've been occupied creating a ferro cement sauna and construction.  Gotta great tan though.  Most of the work has been done in the nude.  I've got a great tan going.  Didn't wear anything other than here and there, like groceries, a social this or that and when volunteer helpers not so inclined were about during construction.” – Jbeegoode, http://freerangenaturism.com/forum/index.php?topic=655.225;topicseen
