August and more ..

Welcome to my Nudes Letter, sorry for any delay ...

Q. Seen anything in the papers & mags ?

• Here are some missed late June, July & this month items about the naked body that appeared in my daily tabloid paper, The Sun, a sort of catch-up ...
1. 
   
   
   
   A photo item titled FLASH GORDON shows "tv chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife taking a stroll in [St. Tropez,] France - and are served up meat and two veg. The holidaying F-Word star, 43, and Tana, 36, went for a light dressing - their swimwear - unlike the unappetising nudist .. yesterday." A bit unfair but I'm sure that Gordon had a wry smile thinking up ways to cook it or commenting "F**k me ! That guy hasn't been to Scotland !" ( 30/06 ).
2. Troubles for "members of Britain's oldest nudist club were exposed - by road widening works. The Five Acres Country Club has been hidden behind a line of trees and bushes since it opened in the 1920s." The item titled NUDES LOSE THEIR BUSH goes on to reveal the club's location as "the area was stripped by bulldozers as part of an expansion on the M25 at junction 21a." (You've got the last part ?) Meanwhile "it left passers-by and road workers able to ogle nudists at the club neat St Albans, Herts ( Location confirmed ). Club owner Pat Badham is quoted "People who come here enjoy being naked and enjoy the naturist way of life." It ends that "the Highways Agency has agreed to install a 'modesty' fence and line of trees to hide the club." Also the "workers have been told not to look at the nudists", yeah that one may be difficult to obey ( 03/07 ).
3. A six paragraph item titled Nude on the Tube claims "a woman stripped naked at a rush-hour Tube station yesterday - then lept on a train. The attractive blonde, in her 20s, had been wearing just a bra and briefs under a cream raincoat. She threw them off at Elephant & Castle, in South East London, then ran down the platform shoving aside commuters. [Sadly] station staff escorted her off the packed train" Their source is very accurate with the event and smiley commuters were "amused or concerned". The stripper "was held under the Mental Health Act". A warning to all future sporting streakers where you may end up ! ( 10/07 )
4. 
   
   
   
   On the paper's tv biz page a photo item showing a former soap star in two naked poses titled IT'S RICKITT PICS WITH NO KNICKS. Former Coronation Street actor Adam Rickitt who played Nick Tilsley "stripped off to front testicular cancer awareness campaign Checkum." Understand the poster pose not sure about the laying down one ? ( 15/07 ).
5. 
   
   
   
   After winning a search for a new evening presenter for a topical BBC show and a big £100,000 a-year salary you don't want old pics from your past turning up do you ? On the paper's tv biz page a large full length b&w photo of Alex Jones appears near to a heading of The nude One Show presenter. Alex did it of course for a charity shoot in 2005 for Autism Wales and raised thousands and she explains her one-off strip "I'm not the sort who gets naked for photos. But it was for a good cause, so I'm glad I did it." So no future visits to a nudist beach planned ? ( 29/07 ).
6. A Sun SPOT paragraph claims "Baring pale, untanned skin on the beach is the top holiday hate fro 36 per cent of British men and 29 per cent of women, a poll has found". These beach goers are never satisfied are they ! ( 29/07 ).
7. Another Sun SPOT paragraph tells of "cops [who] held a man for assault after he started a NAKED fist fight with two hookers in Kempten, Germany - claiming they had stolen 50 euros from him". Look on the bright side they didn't steal your heart, aah ! ( 02/08 ).
8. A small item titled ART NUDEVEAU tells of "artist Kira Ayn Varszegis [who] is putting her 38DD boobs to good use - as paint brushes. Kira, 34,[ from Connecticut, US ] smothers them in anything from oils to melted chocolate, then sets to work on the canvas." I was taking her serious up to the oils but "the resulting abstract pictures can sell for more than £600." She wants this fine art "to provoke emotion .. and raises more than a few smiles." I'm sure that her buyers think likewise ( 03/08 ).
9. 
   
   
   
   A photo item titled FISH 'N STRIPS FOR STAG LADS shows "cheeky lads on a stag party fishing trip [who] get their tackle out - and are caught by an RAF chopper. The ten youngsters, from Bristol [ no ladies ? ], hired a boat and stripped far out at sea. But the prank off Swansea was snapped by the passing rescue copter's crew." If that was not bad enough the coastguard spokesman said "They had a few little tiddlers." Next time lads stick to a nudist beach and get by unnoticed ( 03/08 ).
10. 
    
    
    
    When looking for news links I can't believe the numbers of links to British model/actress(?) Kelly Brook especially after her recent big figure strip for Playboy. Now she's got her kit off for a sports company to advertise their running shoes. Of course there's has to be a road-side billboard and the paper picks up for their website with heading of Celebrity NUDES like Eva Mendes and Sophie Dahl who advertise products with their naked body. Fine chance seeing any on a naturist beach or at a nudist club ! ( 05/08 ).

Continue to enjoy the cooler sun in the UK ( still mainly nude indoors and ... ), hey hope you are naked wherever you may be !

Thanks for visiting !
