This week on Planet Nude 🪐
Bionic in buff
Brett Marcus Cook interviews artist Edward Bionic, exploring his journey into art and naturism, how these passions intersect, and his creative evolution. Edward discusses his naturist-themed digital drawings, public art projects, and the importance of body acceptance. He also shares his future aspirations, including creating more public naturist art and potentially becoming an artist for a naturist resort. The interview highlights Edward's commitment to promoting naturism through his unique artistic vision.
The untold history of America’s oldest nudist magazine
We republished this in-depth history of The Bulletin, the American Association for Nude Recreation’s (AANR) official journal, in observance of AANR's #NudistHistoryMonth. The article explores the magazine's origins in the 1930s, its evolution, and the internal conflicts that shaped its development. The Bulletin's establishment in 1951 was driven by a power struggle within the nudist movement, highlighting significant political tensions and legal battles. Now, this history is available to the public, previously exclusive to paid subscribers.
How can we better market nudism to non-nudists?
This week's #UndressedThread centers on how to effectively market nudism to non-nudists, exploring whether it should be presented as a recreation, philosophy, or way of life. Participants suggest strategies like building trust through personal stories, using art for subtle promotion, and engaging in genuine in-person interactions rather than relying on social media. There's a consensus that authenticity and personal connections are key. Join the conversation and share your ideas on introducing more people to naturism!
