Clothes Optional Harbin Hot Springs Hit by California Wildfires

Just read the following news report about California Wildfires Claim Harbin Nude Hot Springs .  We are very sorry to learn of this development and have the people affected in thoughts and prayers..

The Platypus never visited Harbin. However, we witnessed first-hand the devastating effect that wildfire can have on nudist venues.  Years ago, we toured Swallows Sun Island Resort within a few weeks of the fire that claimed that resort.  Despite very valiant efforts to rebuild and keep it clothes-free, it was not meant to be long term.  We hope that things will be different for those at Harbin.

Naked Yard Ornaments Revisited

Some time back the Bare Platypus issued "A Call for Naked Yard Ornaments" in which we called upon fellow nudists to put a little nudity into their yard in the form of signs or statuary.  Read the post, which generated several comments, here:  A call for naked yard ornaments  .

While searching for that article to write this blog post, believe it or not we encountered a different case in which a 60+ year old woman's  Naked Gnomes Ordered to Cover Up  from just a few months ago. What is ...

No Shame in THIS Easter Nudity (Repost from previous years)

Reposted from years past... Platypus Note:    The members of the Bare Platypus team respect that there are people from many different faiths who live together in this world and who also enjoy nudism.    We celebrate that. At the same time, we have never made a secret of the fact that our Christian faith is very important to us.    This post is primarily intended for our Christian brothers and sisters as we look toward the Easter holiday weekend. �Nudity is shameful�  we sometimes hear.    Especially when someone is making a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission about a glimpse of bare breast or buttocks they saw during a Super Bowl halftime show, or TV program. Bare Platypuses know that their friends within the nudist community will disagree with the statement that "nudity is shameful," but we hope some within our Christian community will disagree also.    At least when it comes to the nudity we know and read about duri...
