This week on Planet Nude 🪐
Bunny Yeager’s legacy in Naked Ambition (2023)
This movie review by Brett Marcella explores the sun drenched world of Bunny Yeager, once a pin-up model and later a trailblazing photographer, in Naked Ambition, a documentary that reclaims her place in pop culture history. More than just prettiness and bikinis, Yeager’s work celebrated her subjects’ personality and agency. Through her lens, she elevated pin-up photography into genuine art, giving women a space to be joyful, radiant, and free. But her story was not without conflict, with critical male voices, a complicated family legacy, and the shifting tides of culture. Her rise and fall mirror the very revolution she helped shape.
Brett Marcella explores how the film focuses heavily on Yeager’s most iconic era, her 1950s and 1960s pin-up photography. Rather than dive into her early life, the documentary leans into what made her revolutionary. A former model herself, she understood both sides of the camera and used that insight to capture her models with warmth, character, and authenticity.
Going Natural: A chronicle of Canadian naturism
Curtis Atkins uncovers the compelling, often controversial history of Canadian naturism, a movement that sought to redefine social norms and embrace the natural world. This chronicle journeys back to the origins of going natural in Canada, exploring how early enthusiasts championed non-sexual nudity as a means of improving mental health, fostering a connection to the outdoors, and loosening the grip of strict social taboos.
This insightful look into a fascinating corner of Canadian social history explains the perspectives of those who embraced this unconventional way of life. It reveals how the naturist movement challenged, engaged with, and was ultimately shaped by the broader cultural debates surrounding the body, privacy, and public life in postwar Canada. Discover the history of those who dared to shed their clothes and the lasting impact they had on the nation’s cultural landscape.
