It sounds like fun. I'd be interested in doing it but I'm not sure my wife is quite ready to go "public".
I'm pretty sure nobody would want to come all the way to Minnesota just to film me gardening anyway.

Speaking of documentaries, what ever happened to the piece that ABC News (if I recall correctly) did on the INA at Lake Meade last summer? Was this not suppose to air in the Fall sometime?

12-01-2004, 03:36 PM
I would LOVE to participate, but the word "attractive" leaves me out. Plus I'm sure it will be too far away for me anyway. I don't have a lot of money for traveling.

Hello everybody, I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday.

I hate to rain on any parades, but I guess I have some concerns so I suppose this is where I should express them. A documentary or movie or show is only as good as the producer, right? He/she is in charge of bringing their vision to life and hiring the right people to help convey the story or message. Greg Silva is the producer, and what has he produced so far?.....a show called "Gin & Broads", "Bettie Page Uncensored", "Clown Head" a fantasy show (definition #2). So who is Greg Silva, is he a nudist himself? Or will he be coming in with some pre-concieved notions about nudism?

Another thing that raised an eyebrow was the reference to the following on the website... "Traditional nudists" are those who draw a clear line seperating sex from nudity. Where as "Progressive nudists" are those who kind of accept a blending of the two. Maybe the wording was wrong....but if that is progressive nudism, then where does Greg Silva think nudism GOING??

Anyways, those are just two concerns I had. But I'm pretty excited that nudism is getting more publicity and I hope there will be a lot of participation from INA/CFF members who will present a balanced view of what nudism is all about and WHY we cherish the nudist lifestyle.

First, your location is not really an issue. We will be doing most filming on location at different resorts around the world. Please apply if you are interested. For Nude in the North, it's great if your wife really isn't ready to go public, that's what we want, some newcomers. We won't neccesarily be going to peoples houses at all, you will be coming with us on an all expense paid shoot at some exotic locations. FL Tony, watch Nudes in the News episode #69. ABC came to Redinger Lake to cover us, not literally of course. Jon-Marc, you never cease to crack me up. Have some more self confidence. You're a handsome guy and you should always think of yourself that way. Hold your self up high, and every morning when you wake up, look in the mirror and say very loud, "I'm so good looking it should be illegal."

Thanks!

What you read on www.ScratchMediaArts.com (http://www.ScratchMediaArts.com) is being updated as we have made some changes in the direction of the documentary. I am pleased to be working cooperatively with Greg Silva and his work in the past is great work. He's a hard worker with imagination, ingenuity, and will produce a great product. Remember that ClothesFreeTv is now also behind this project and I know where it's headed, and I assure that the naturist community will be pleased, if that weren't so, I would be doing this. Greg is a great guy and a great artist.

Jon-Marc - It gives me a pain the way the advertising media, magazines, films etc all focus on the "attractive" people. What they mean is that they want so called physically attractive people even though the “attractive” people may be complete idiots, rude, uneducated, narrow minded bigots. Perhaps you can think of a few other adjectives. As kids we grow up surrounded by the media, books, films all saying to us that we might not be “attractive” and that ”attractive” is the best. What is attractive ? Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder says the Hippopotamus. As a result some of us grow up with very bad inferiority complexes when there is absolutely no need for that.

Most of us are attractive, we may not have the most “attractive” body but we are fun to be with, we have wisdom, we have self confidence, we have nice friendly faces and because we are happy when we smile that friendliness shows. Even if we think we do not have all those good things we will have some and not others. There are many examples of so called physically “less attractive” film stars and famous people who have overcome their physical problems. One good example is “Superman” the late Christopher Reeve who was physically attractive became physically unattractive but remained a superman, a amazingly wonderful person and was admired by everyone. Even the person with the “attractive” body (who may be a total arrogant pain in the neck) can feel good about their body and that will make them a better person (hopefully but only if they work on it). Every person is attractive in some lots of ways and they MUST work on the good things overcome any complexes they may have about the things they (probably wrongly) think are not attractive.

I think it is important to be told positive things about ourselves by our parents from birth, that gives self confidence and that builds the character. We should never say negative things about ourselves (even in jest). We should think positive, act positive, be positive and then we can ALL be in “Naked in America” (except us Aussies of course – I don’t take it badly that Aussies are excluded ever though we ARE very “attractive people).

Being a nudist is a great step in the right direction – “we have overcome”

That's really good news Corey. It's really good to know that INA will be helping to back the project. I trust INA's views and I'm looking forward to hearing more about the project.

I'd love to be involved with something like that, representing the "traditional" side from the younger generations. But I'm pretty sure there would be a conflict if the christian university I attend found out that my g/f and I were on such a show. I wish that wasn't the case....a vacation would be really nice http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I was raised as a Seventh-day Adventist. The church as a whole is pretty flexible with things such as nudism. But the university is compelled to uphold certain standards of behavior, and although they casually turn a blind eye to lots of behaviors, going as public as HBO would certainly be seen as compromising the integrity of their values, so to save face they would probably jeapordize my status as a student of the university. And I can't really afford that.

So...alas, I must watch from the sidelines.

Well, Corey, I can understand someone who really IS that attractive being conceited enough to say that, but I would be lying, and I'm not conceited.

Anyway, if you happen to be in my area I would definitely like to participate. I noticed, though, that you want couples, and I have no one else.

I've always turned a sceptical eye towards those that describe themselves as "attactive."
First, it assume every one else will find them so.
Second, isn't "attractiveness" in the sole possesion of the viewer, not the viewee?

Anyway, the idea that they are only looking for "attractive couples" tells me that they aren't in this to educate others about nudism.

I don't have a problem with wanting to have a youthful attractive couple representing us for this particular show.

We don't want to discourage the middle-aged and ordinary looking folks from trying nudism, but any television show in America uses young attractive actors and actresses with no apologies.

In some other context we can say that social nudity is a right for all people, regardless of how they look.

To some women I am appealing, to others I am not. It may be pheromes, some other chemical markers, my looks, the timbre of my voice, who knows? There is great diversity in the human race. How could one face please everyone?

I am just glad to know that there are females of the Trailscout species still out there waiting with breathless anticipation for the next time they hear me baying at the moon. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

But if the media again pulls the same "you have to be typically beautiful (as defined by the producer's idea of beauty), then it's just going to reinforce the notion that you have to match this ideal before it's ok to be seen as beautiful.
If they select people based on what we've come to expect, I probably won't find a single person on the show "attractive."
So, what if they used my definition of attractive?

Justin, it's the law of averages perhaps. I visit DOMAI sometimes and Eolake's idea of female beauty is definitely different from mine, but there is some overlap and that's my point. If we can't agree on beauty entirely, don't most men prefer women with some of the basic indicators of fertility, such as smooth, fairly hairless skin, shiny hair, waist narrower than hips, and no extreme facial features? The basic desire for this is almost instinctive, but culture and upbringing modify it a bit.

I tend to prefer women with darker hair and complexions and fuller figures than Eolake, but that's my upbringing. He's Danish and he likes what he grew up with, but his personal preferences are close enough to what most men like that he is commercially successful.

Your taste for beauty might differ, but the law of averages says that women and men that approximate most of the physical features that constitute youth and sexual vitality will appeal to a large segment of the population, enough to bring in advertising revenue.

Thank you to all for posting in this topic. Some good points have been brought up and I want you all to know, that INA will do everything to make sure naturism/naturists is/are properly represented in this documentary. Unfortunately in todays world to sell a piece to a large network, their has to be some so called "eye candy". Do I agree with this? NO. That is what we are trying to change but the only way to even attempt that is from the inside.

In this documentary there will be people of all ages, sizes, and colors. We will not be doing any make-up or digital airbrushing on the subjects. They will appear as they do to the naked eye. You watch "The Apprentice" and you notice the contestants are rather good looking. Does this mean they are smarter or more business savvy than all of us? No way. I know I could do a lot better than some on that show. But in order to get the ratings, there has to be some good looking people. That's the way our society is at this day in age, and public naturism can really change that. But how do we bring naturism into the public eye? TV. Television is the most powerful marketing tool and we have the ability to use it. We may have to adjust our lens temporarily but I promise that we will show naturism in it's true beauty. Please be assured that ClothesFreeTV and Scratch Media will do a good job and make the naturist community very pleased.

Because it's a game show. Put specially selected couples in awkward situations and see what happens, doesn't sound all that different from 'Wife Swap' (which is also looking for a nudist family - uh oh! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif ). It is first and formost an HBO entertainment program.

That doesn't mean that it won't also be educational and positive about naturism.

I do have some questions about what is suggested in the 'treatment', including filming at some pretty notorious swinger resorts. I assume that with INA onboard they are rethinking using Hedo III, and will treat the sexuality aspect (progressive nudists? is that code for swingers?) they intend to explore in a respectful and unexploitive manner.

I do suspect whoever wrote the treatment was not fully familiar with social nudism, and got some of it confused with 'lifestyle' swinging. That is not unusual since most of the public thinks the same way. With INA aboard it looks like they are now doing some due diligence, GOOD! So I won't assume the worst in this project. I even know of some likely candidates for the show who I'm going to pass the info onto.

Thank you all for posting more in this topic. TO Naturist Mark: I mentioned early that the Treatment and scripts were being completely redone and many things in the current treatment and true now. It will not be a game show of any kind, simply a feature documentary. The 8 or so couples that we will be filming will only be a very short segment of the documentary which filming will hopefully be done at Hidden Beach Resort in Mexico and certainly not at any swinger or Lifestyles affiliated resort. We will be using people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and colors in this documentary. Right now we are just casting for the couples part of the piece. Please wait approximately 4 days for an updated treatment and press release which will be posted at www.ClothesFree.com (http://www.ClothesFree.com)

sounds interesting but tv scares me in that what the average joe wants to see are titties bouncing around not a real show about real nudists. with INA providing input i think the show will be better, hopefully more like a documentary. since i don't get HBO, i will probably never see it. My wife seems interested in the idea of being on the show, but i do not think it would be good to go that public. i like my privacy and do not trust Mr. and Mrs. Average Joe to try and comprehend something as different as a nudist lifestyle....

james423
12-08-2004, 06:36 PM
Don't sell Mr. & Mrs. "Average Joe" too short. My own experience has been that a lot of people's initial reaction to nudity or to finding out that someone they know is a nudist is to be a bit unsure about it & try to "laugh it off", but if they stay around or listen long enough they may find that the reason they are a bit unsure is that they have a true curiosity (when those who aren't adamantly opposed to nudism are given good information about it, they may actually gravitate towards nudism). In my own case (as well as others I've spoken to about how they got started as nudists), it wasn't an inability to comprehend the nudist lifestyle so much as an uncertainty as to whether they might actually fit in to such a lifestyle. Most nudists I know of (including myself) are a bit more "Average Joe" than we sometimes admit. Not that I'm personally going to volunteer for this project either, but I do hold some hope that something positive can come from it.

Gary Naturist
12-09-2004, 12:50 AM
I think that it would be interesting to include a segment that focuses on the fact that nudists are all ages, sizes, colors etc.

This could be done with brief shots of a lot of different people at a resort or by panning across a mixed group of nudists standing in a line, perhaps holding hands.

RE: Corey ""Television is the most powerful marketing tool""

I agree that TV is powerful tool, but very far from MOST powerful. Some 15 years ago I was a leader for city club for weekend self-organized tourism (bicycling) walks. So we let the different kind of reclame and later analysed the effectiveness of impact. If one walk gathered average 50-60 people then in the questionary they answered "where You knew that this walk will happen" 1 up 2 persons in TV, 5-7 persons in main newspapers, 10-15 persons in special newspaper "Sport News", all other said "from informal contacts with relatives and friends".

Yet the costs spread, can immagine, reciprocal.

I not only had a problem with the statement "we're looking for attractive couples" I was really disappointed that someone from INA would even think it, let alone state it.

You're doing a good job with the damage control Corey but I guess we'll all just have to wait and see if INA really does believe that...

I, too, have a problem with the words "attractive couples". (1) They only want couples, and (2) They only want attractive people.

That will perpetuate the lie that you have to be attractive to be a nudist, and that singles aren't welcome in the nudist venues.

As a single female, I personally disagree with the "couples-only" nudist personna, but I also understand that this piece might be just about couples, not singles. Let's not read into it before we have all the facts.

Also, a disclaimer might be written into the show indicating that nudism is a healthy lifestyle practiced by men, women and children of all ages, both single and married and the particular couples (on the show) may not be representative of all nudists..yada, yada.

I think it is great that there is enough interest in this to warrent a documentary. I do have a fear, however that this could be manipulated into something more sexual. It seems that they are setting these couples up to drop their inhibitions, and maybe act in a way that is out of character. With the Jaccuzzi and alchohol..etc

If you haven't read the outline of the show read it HERE (http://www.scratchmediaarts.com/images/pdfs/Treatment.pdf)

I have some concern as to the direction that this could go. I hope that I am wrong.

Thank you all again for posting. ClothesFree TV has taken all necessary precautions before partnering with Scratch Media. We know that together we can produce an informative feature documentary that will go in depth into the "American" view of nudity. There will be a long hard look into the psychological aspects of nude recreation along with the impact of nudity on children. This is not just a documentary about naturists. We are using the couple for just a short segment of the documentary while at a naturist-resort to capture the activities, reactions, and first time experiences. We want to show the public that nudity is wholesome and a healthy way to view someone. Please be patient and have faith in INA that we will uphold are values and be true to naturism.
Thanks!

I too am very concerned about this. From the "attractive couples" to the described swingers vs. naturists aspect of this show.

First, I hope to god INA is not going to involve itself in the original intent of the show, to combine naked swingers with true naturists, and watch the fireworks fly. Jerry Springer and his ilk has that covered. Has this now become a true documentary? Are all naturists covered, or just the pretty ones?

Corey Mangold

Zuma, I believe you are being a little presumptuous. The original intent of the show has been altered to better suit naturism and if it hadn't, INA would not be involved. We believe this to be a healthy way to display to the public through mainstream media the contemporary thoughts on nudity with comparison to other Countries and regions. We are confident that naturists alike will be impressed with the documentary and I assure you there is no swingers + naturists parts of the documentary. I ask that you have faith the INA will uphold it's mission statement and values while co-producing this video.
Respectfully!
Corey Mangold
INA President

Corey,

Thank you for your reply. I did not mean to be hostile or confrontational. I also was not pre-supposing anything. I was just very concerned about the intent of this reality show... which was combining swingers with nudists.

If you say that the swinger aspect has been removed, and that this is now a true naturist documentary, then thank you for turning a big negative to our community into a positive.

And I'm glad that this will be true documentary and that the "attractive" thing has been expunged as well. We're all in this together and i thank you for your work on hehalf of us all.

That's really good news Corey. It's really good to know that INA will be helping to back the project. I trust INA's views and I'm looking forward to hearing more about the project.

I'd love to be involved with something like that, representing the "traditional" side from the younger generations. But I'm pretty sure there would be a conflict if the christian university I attend found out that my g/f and I were on such a show. I wish that wasn't the case....a vacation would be really nice http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


Hi, Brother. I am a (no kidding !) 5. generation Adventist and now an old man. Since the sixties my girl and I went to the (illicit) nude beach. Nowadays we just look at the catalogue and fly to Corisca in summer. And as an church elder I may say (of course in private talk after the service) that we`d prefer this or that spa with sauna ( - those are "nuuude" here). And fpro the SDA physicians convention we want a hotel with sauna - - I´m glad to hear another joyful news from Southern California.

If you like : contact me by mail svrcg@chello.at Greetings, blessings G

How did the "Naked In America" documentary filming go? I'll assume it's pretty much done now. Let's hear an update!
