Went to a music festival.
The last three years Charco del Palo, has hosted a kind of October festival. A temporary stage and large covered seating area with a food and beer truck providing refreshments. The first two years it was only a Saturday evening event so everyone was dressed.
This year they decided to extend the event over the whole weekend, starting Friday evening then starting again on Saturday afternoon.
We wondered if the afternoon crowd would be naked, so taking nothing but our towels we walked through the town to the festival. Alas only a couple of nudes were enjoying the show in front of the stage so we did not stay. Instead we crossed the road to a restaurant with a beer garden that was full of nudes and watched the show from there, it was a fantastic time.
Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I missed to feed my own thread, so I'll try to catch up and give a brief summary of this summer here:
- Enjoying summer on the terrace of my flat
- A few hikes with friends, where I was able to walk naked for parts or whole of the way
- Swimming, sunbathing, and stand-up paddleboarding at the lake
- Attending friends' garden party
- Hanging out with young friends in the camp area of a festival and taking a nighttime tour through the vineyards next door
- And just recently, two weeks of camper van life in Portugal with my boyfriend, with lots of opportunities to enjoy going bare under the blue sky
Winterized our trailer at camp earlier today :(
Sitting outside now with the dogs, but it got cloudy and with the temperature only around 67 in New England I have already gotten out a sweatshirt and will soon be adding sweatpants. At least we are packed to head down to Cypress Cove on Thursday where it will be in the 80s.
I always see stand-up paddleboarding as one of the boldest nude activities. On the water, completely visible from every surrounding direction, no close shelter, and doing it all in a standing, moving position!

Orlando Bloom certainly got a lot of attention when he did stand up paddleboarding nude with Katy Perry (who remained clothed) a few years ago,

This is not such a big deal as it may sound. If you look at a paddle border from the shore 100m away or so, there is no much difference if you wear a tine g string bikini bottom or nothing. Anyway, the lake where i go now and then (the year not so often due to weather issues) has a large nudist area, so it's not very surprising to the others to see someone paddle au naturel. And when you fall from your board, it's much nicer to have nothing on than to continue with wet clothes.
Perhaps that's the point of cultural difference between us! :-)
In Australia, bottoms have got smaller (even reaching your example of a tiny G-string) but toplessness has largely disappeared entirely since its peak around 1990 - I can't recall seeing anything recently other than the occasional loosening of the back string while the wearer lays on her tummy and doesn't dare make a movement until it's tied back up. And yes, the triangles of fabric may be small but their presence makes all the difference. Apparently. Even if you're 100m from the shore! It's all in the technicalities, such is modern Australia.
I think I have a perspective that's close to yours, but it just seems contrary to the society I inhabit.
Having said that, perhaps I should try stand-up paddleboarding, although I think I'd need to try in a clothing-optional zone to keep my interest up. :-)... there is no much difference if you wear a tine g string bikini bottom or nothing.
At Cypress Cove for a long weekend and did our usual naked house hunting walking around looking at the houses with for sale signs. None are advertising open houses this weekend, so we dont get to do any naked house tours. Tomorrow morning I am planning to do a 2-3 mile naked run around the resort while Mrs. J&C sleeps late.
