Body Image
- At 419 pounds, Stavros Luca isn't your typical beauty pageant contestant. But that did not keep this body-confident guy from entering the Mr. Gay UK competition. With overwhelming support from the audience, Stavros won 1st place! The storyline is awesome and uplifting, but it doesn't quite have a happy ending. The local news coverage erased him in the story, and event organizers decide to disqualify on him two days later on a bullshit technicality. Read the full story here, and the short Guardian documentary (embedded at the ending) is worth viewing. [Mic]
Results from among BuzzFeed's Body Image Survey Questions
- BuzzFeed started size" model and body acceptance supporter Tess Munster went on HuffPost Live to talk about expose naked and her past and present battles with her body image.
- Famed "plus-size
Topfree Equality
- The nipple was finally freed this weekend with the Free The Nipple movie release! The reviews are kind of abysmal. To date I'd describe the consensus as "well-intentioned, but shallow and amateurish." The New York Times described it as "first and foremost the cinematic equivalent of a billboard." I went to the premiere last week and will be posting my own review. For now, here's one of the positive reviews that I appreciated in Time, which focuses on why topfree equality matters.
Naked Yoga
![image]()
- Another writer attempted a NYC naked yoga class at Bold & Naked Yoga, and gave a cute, positive report of her experience. Though note that coed naked yoga has been going on in NY for years, and she is incorrect stating that Bold & Naked is the first. [Well Good]
Watch
- As mentioned in the previous Naked News Roundup, a UK documentary called "The Naked Village" aired last week. It focuses a naturist club in Britain called Spielplatz. Based on this particular sympathetic review, it sounds somewhat glum. The whole 45-minute documentary can be streamed on YouTube. [The Guardian]
Rogen and Franco on Naked and Afraid. Pic: Discovery Channel
- To promote their new film, Seth Rogen and James Franco did a spoof episode of Naked and Afraid. There were http://nudistshots.com/riva/pins-pure-nudism.php , and they managed to do it without body-shaming. My favorite line: Seth asking for a giant blur on his crotch area. It's possible for you to watch it online here.
Oldie but Goodie
- Originally printed in Bitch magazine in 2012, this in-depth report on naturism is superb. It is positive overall, but the writer brings up some valid criticisms and questions about the future of the naturist movement. Anyone concerned with the future of naturism should read it.
