Clothing Independence Day
Happy Independence Day!
Today is the day our local club usually celebrates the American July 4th holiday with a pool party, which we dub the “Clothing Independence Day Party,” offering our members a few hours of freedom from textiles, a release from the tyranny of tan lines, and other such frilly language as a way to justify another excuse to get naked and enjoy life with friends on a hot summer’s day.
Because of the mid-week date of July 4th this year, we don’t have a full-blown party planned, but there is an informal “sun and loaf” invitation from one of our members to relax by her pool and soak up some rays, without all the usual party attributes of a big catered meal and so on. But with the dismal rainy weather we’ve had in the Dallas area for the last six weeks, even that might not happen as it seems the clouds and rain will be with us again today.
However, the term “Clothing Independence” is worth contemplating for a moment, on this day or any other, as it affords a chance to think of the freedom that nudism brings to nearly everyone who tries it: freedom from pretentiousness, freedom from hang-ups over class and status, freedom from bad self-esteem, freedom from judging people because of immutable attributes such as age, size or shape.
Those are the freedoms we have found in social nudism, along with many more benefits large and small, and we wish the same to all our fellow nudists and those many millions who will follow us into the wonderful, liberating lifestyle.
naturism like all freedoms are fought for and paid for by the patriots in the group , to maintain those freedoms we must not be afraid to go to the local , state attorney general , and local authorities , we must work at this to maintain those freedoms or they will disappear. support your local naturist & nudist groups , like aanr & the naturist society .
