Set your watch for 3 pm, Saturday, July 11.....That is 3 pm in God's time zone, Eastern Daylight Time.
Why's that?
For an industry, movement, trend or whatever you want to call it, American nudism actually has an activity planned that may not translate into a typical PR (public relations) disaster.
In this particular case, the American Association for Nude Recreation http://www.aanr.com/skinny-dip.html is coordinating with Guinness World Records for.....you guessed it.....a world record skinny dip. At the precise time nationwide, nudists will simultaneously jump into swimming pools, lakes, rivers, streams adorned only in their birthday suits. What could be more innocently naughty than a little old fashioned skinny dipping for the record books?
After weeks of nudist bashing as a result of Swiss Cantons banning nude hiking, and Miss California almost losing her crown for posing without her sash, and Caliente Resort in Florida losing its nude organization standing for allegedly reaching out to both nudists and swingers, it's time for nudism to get a little positive PR.
Backyard nudism and skinny dipping seem to be the best way to introduce nudism to a suspecting nation. And if a world record can be set in the process? All the better.
