TV show takes a positive look at the Nudist / Naturist lifestyle
Today I received an unsolicited email advising that there will be a new Australian TV show called "Vive Cool City" which premieres Tuesday 21st May at 11pm on SBS 2.
Here is the body of the email that I received:
Vive Cool City is a pilot for a new show on SBS TV that explores lifestyles that are
outside the mainstream.
It features a very positive story on the nudist and naturist lifestyle.
Reporter, Ryder Susman, strips off himself to join members of the Metro East Nudist
Leisure Club at one of their fortnightly socials at a gym in the Melbourne suburb of
Narre Warren.
Members of the club discuss the freedom and benefits and being able to socialise and
pursue every day activities like going to the gym without the restriction of
clothing.
It was the reporter, Ryder’s, first experience with public nudity and despite his
initial nervousness; he ended up becoming a convert after spending a few hours naked
at the gym.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass the details about the screening of
this program on to your members and guests and include it in your newsletters or on
your websites.
A photo of the Vive Cool City film crew interviewing, Rob, a founding member of the
Metro East Nudist Leisure Club is attached.
The Vive Cool City pilot will screen at 11pm on Tuesday night 21st May on SBS 2.
The story on the Metro East Nudist Leisure Club is about a minute and a half in to
the program.
This looks like this will be a positive representation of social nudity it is always a good start that the reporter and crew are naked for the show. We will have to tune in to see if this is the case.
Further information on the show from the SBS website: Vive Cool City features a series of 4-5 minute original documentaries that explore the underbelly of human culture and the behaviours that don't normally get air time.
It tells stories about the world that we don't usually see on television - the weird and wonderful truth about what people actually get up to.
At times it is confronting, entertaining and playful - but it is always engaging.

Free to be me!
I am not sure where I got this image originally, so apologies that I cannot give credit to the original post, also I have made a small alteration by removing the clothes of the person on the steps to make my point that we as Naturists are a minority, but that also make us free thinkers as well.
We can therefore enjoy the many benefits of a clothes-free lifestyle although to do so we had to take a step away from conformity to experience it.

That bra you're wearing? It's making your boobs saggier.
The following article confirms what has
been speculated on for years. How can a part of your anatomy that has been
trussed and supported artificially be expected to do anything other than lose
the ability to tone and be self-supportive.
The other concern not mentioned in the following article, but that also make a lot of common sense, is what does the wearing of a tight undergarment around the chest do to the lymphatic system? Can there be a build-up of toxins in the breast tissue that the natural unimpeded movement of breasts would otherwise drain? Does this impact breast health?
Ladies do not be a slave to fashion and convention say NO to chest binding the same way that you would say NO to foot binding which deforms the feet.

WOMEN - you've been lied to for years. That bra you're wearing? It's making your boobs saggier.
A French study spanning 15-years has found that not only do bras make your breasts sag even more, they do nothing to reduce back pain.
"Medically, physiologically, anatomically - breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity," said Jean-Denis Rouillon, Research Professor on the French study, told Counsel and Heal.
"On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."
The study looked at 330 women and the changes in their breasts over time using a slide rule and caliper, and concluded that breasts naturally become more toned and supported if no bra is used. When a bra is used, the breast becomes dependent on the artificial support, making them degrade more quickly.
Additionally, the study found that going braless gives women a 7mm lift in their nipples for every year they go without, and aids in fading stretch marks.
Capucine, a 28-year-old participant in Rouillon's study, told France Info that since being involved in the study she hasn't worn a bra for two years.
"There are multiple benefits: I breathe more easily, I carry myself better, and I have less back pain," she said.
So should we all be banning the bra?
"While we validated the hypothesis that the bra is a false 'need'...it would be dangerous to advise all women to stop wearing their soutien-gorge as the women involved were not a representative sample of the population," Rouillon said.

Nude & Free!
I loved this still from the movie "Nu et Libre".
Sitting at Cobblers Beach enjoying the sunshine and water you would often see small leisure craft come in close to the shore to have a look at the "nude beach" or more correctly the nudes on the beach.
Many a time I felt like saying "go home strip off and have a look in the mirror - we are all the same!"

The Sydney Skinny Nude Ocean Swim
"Sometimes we are strange cattle!"
My father used to say this expression when ever people would do strange or illogical things and this saying came to mind watching the media coverage of the "Sydney Skinny" held recently at Cobblers Beach, Sydney Harbour.
Now I'm all for the promotion of clothes-free recreation and I support what this event is wanting to achieve. The thing that left me somewhat bemused was those interviewed after the event spoke in glowing terms of the clothes-free experience and they said that they will do it again next year.
Next year? Why not next weekend? We have the legal clothes-free beach available why wait until next year if it was such an affirming experience?
It seems we need to have an excuse to get our gear off and enjoy some nude time. We have to be able to say "Well we did it in support of a good cause!"
People you don't need an excuse just admit that you enjoyed it and do it again!
That's why I think that we are indeed "Strange cattle!"
