Weekly Wrap: Apr 5
This week on Planet Nude: nude protest history, naturist town halls, social media censorship, site updates, a vintage film review, and one modest April prank
Welcome to Weekly Wrap. This week, as April unfolds and the layers start coming off, Planet Nude brings you stories of defiance, reinvention, and just the right amount of chaos. From the legacy of Mexico’s nude protest movement to The Naturist Society’s push for renewed engagement, it’s been a week of looking back and planning forward. We’ve got a fresh legal dispatch on art censorship, a playful April Fools’ diversion from Planet Prude, and a detailed review of one of Doris Wishman’s classic nudie-cuties. There’s something for everyone—except maybe fans of tank tops. 🚀
This week on Planet Nude 🪐
Planet Nude just got easier to navigate. With new content categories and subscription controls, readers can now personalize their inbox and dig into the topics they love—whether it’s essays, comics, news, or podcasts. It’s all part of a cleaner, smarter experience.
In a special April Fools’ Day dispatch from the fictional Planet Prude, we take a layered look at the perils of bare skin, the rise of sleep corsets, and the modesty crisis facing starfish. A one-off satirical celebration of coverage and caution in an unraveling world.
Brett Marcus Cook revisits Doris Wishman’s Diary of a Nudist in this review of one of the genre’s coziest classics. Shot at Sunny Palms Resort and featuring nudist legend Zelda Suplee, the film blends square-up sincerity with midcentury charm—and plenty of lounging.
In this essay, we revisit the radical history of Mexico’s 400 Pueblos movement—an indigenous land rights group that turned to nude protest out of necessity, not provocation. Their story is one of endurance, visibility, and the powerful symbolism of the vulnerable human body as resistance.
The Naturist Society Foundation is hosting a new series of virtual town halls, aiming to reconnect with members and chart a more transparent future. With new editorial leadership and an updated website, the organization is signaling a willingness to listen—and evolve.
On Thursday, the coalition Don’t Delete Art teamed up with Lawyers for the Creative Arts and Saper Law to host a free legal webinar on the topic of social media censorship and artistic nudity. Titled Social Media & Art Censorship, the session explored the legal rights of artists working with nudity, gender, and marginalized themes—and offered practical strategies for navigating restrictive platforms. If you missed it, the full video is now available to watch here. 🪐
