Living With ‘The Bare Necessities’

On The Mouse That Roars blog, North Idaho resident Patrice Lewis discusses what it’s like to live a coupla miles from the nudist Sun Meadow Resort, near Worley. She includes a tongue-in-cheek observation that North Idaho nudist must be heartier than most of their peers, given the weather here in all but the midsummer. And this: “Our local parcel delivery guy, a friendly chatty fellow, makes frequent deliveries to the nudist resort, and boy howdy does he have some stories to tell.  And one of those stories is: if your vision of a nudist colony is a collection of gorgeous, toned, six-pack-abs kinda people, think again. But if this newspaper article is to be believed, that’s the whole point of a nudist resort.  It doesn’t matter what you look like.  It is – quite literally – the great equalizer.  And I guess therein lies the appeal.” More here .

Question: So what vision do you have of a nudist colony — “gorgeous, toned, six-pack-abs kinda people”? Or ordinary flabby ones that you wouldn’t want to see in a fitness club lockerroom?
