Seattle proposes new nude-friendly policy for Denny Blaine Park

This week we reported on Seattle's proposal to formalize nudity rules at Denny Blaine Park, a historically clothing-optional and LGBTQ+ friendly space. The proposed policy aims to preserve the park’s clothing-optional status while addressing local residents' concerns. This initiative follows last year's controversy over a proposed children's play area, funded by philanthropist Stuart Sloan, which was met with significant backlash from the community. In response, the "Save Denny Blaine" campaign emerged, advocating for the park's naturist traditions. The new policy will be discussed in a public meeting today, focusing on creating designated zones within the park to balance the interests of naturist visitors and neighborhood residents.

Getting to the root of things

An essay by Camp that explores the Radical Faeries, a rural subculture known for its clothing-optional gatherings and emphasis on body acceptance. Camp describes their journey to a Faerie gathering, highlighting the movement’s inclusivity and rejection of societal norms. The Radical Faeries, founded in 1979, create communities that value radical individuality, environmental consciousness, and spiritual connection. The essay draws parallels between the Radical Faerie movement and naturism, noting both groups' struggles with mainstream acceptance and the commodification of their ideals. Camp argues that naturists can learn from the Faeries’ commitment to inclusivity and staying true to core values, suggesting that nudist communities should focus on shared principles rather than demographic distinctions.

Asada & Mischa 3: What Lies Beneath. Panel 1: Mischa asks, "What do you look like underneath all that foam rubber?" Asada responds, "I...don't know..." Panel 2: Mischa, "Don't you want to come out?" Asada replies, "Nope. I'm cozy in here!" Panel 3: Mischa states, "I'm naked and I'm burning up alright? Now, what's with you?" Asada teases, "What if I told you I have A/C in here?"
