“The girl with dark hair was coming towards him across the field. With what seemed a single movement she tore off her clothes and flung them disdainfully aside. Her body was white and smooth, but it aroused no desire in him, indeed he barely looked at it. What overwhelmed him in that instant was admiration for the gesture with which she had thrown her clothes aside. With all its grace and carelessness it seemed to annihilate a whole [oppressive] culture, a whole system of thought.”
- George Orwell 1984

During a discussion about the skimpy uniforms worn by the female Olympic volleyball players, someone brought up the fact that the original Olympics were played in the nude. We all agreed that this would make many events more interesting, but I was intrigued by the idea of a society which showcased nude bodies as the peak of physical perfection. Of course, the real bummer for me, as a lady, is that I wouldn’t have been able to see those gloriously shaped bums as the original Olympics were men only.The first Olympics were held in 776 BC. The Greek word “gymnos” means “nudity/naked”, and “gymnasium” is Greek for “nude place”, reflecting an early connection between physical fitness and getting nekkid. But what’s good for the body can also be good for the mind. Alexander the Great discovered naked holy men wandering India in 4 B.C., dubbing them “the naked philosophers.” Jain and Ajivika monks also practised nudity as a statement that they had given up all material goods…right down to the material that clothed them.

One of the two main divisions of the Indian Jain religion, the Digambar,still remain naked. Digambar means “clothed with the sky”, and some Wiccans have adopted this poetic wording and practice their rituals “skyclad”.

“What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?”
- Michaelangelo

This close connection to nature is one of the tenets of nudism, also called naturalism. It is, after all, most natural to go au naturale. Health and fitness, the concept of returning to nature and creating equality are all inspirations for naturist philosophy. And hippies. The international definition adopted by the XIV Congress of the International Naturist Federation makes this relationship with the natural world clear: naturism is “a lifestyle in harmony with nature, expressed through social nudity, and characterised by self-respect of people with different opinions and of the environment.”

My favorite part? If you’re not a naturist, you’re a “textilist”. Now every time I put on my repressive clothes, I’m going to feel like a downtrodden yet prejudiced millworker.

“Clothes therefore, must be truly a badge of greatness; the insignia of the superiority of man over all other animals, for surely there could be no other reason for wearing the hideous things.”
- Tarzan in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan of the Apes

Nudity as we know it today did not gain prominence until the 1920s in Germany, but, unsurprisingly given their penchant for chic uniforms, the Nazis suppressed it. Göring wrote the anti-nudity laws, but for some in the Nazi Party this was going too far. Yep - he really crossed the line by exterminating nudism. The laws were subsequently softened in 1942, but naturists had to do their thing out in the countryside where they wouldn’t be seen.

The Germans brought this thing to the US in the form of Kurt Barthel, who organized the first nudist even in 1929, in some woods outside New York City and founded the American League for Physical Culture. Various movement sprung up througout the second half of the twentieth century, the biggest currently being the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), which has its headquarters in Florida.

Christians are going unprotected in more places than the bedroom, with annual Christian Nudist Convocations beginning in the early 2000s, facilitated by internet forums.

Today, there are many options for the newbie nudist, but most people get their start on a nudist beach. For the more advanced naturist, there are nudist resorts, clubs, or private gatherings of like-minded anti-textilists. There are also specific activities for nudists, like hiking, snorkeling and even skydiving (NSFW, and not for the faint-hearted).

Potential problems for naturist communities include establishing common norms. Should nudism be optional or mandatory? Are singles allowed? Is the resort to be family friendly? There is also tension between those who see nudism as a recreational outlet during vacation, and those committed to it as a lifestyle choice.

In this latter category, you can find the “naked rambler”, Stephen Gough, who has walked from one end of the UK to the other twice, completely naked. After spending 20 months in prison for breach of the peace offenses related to nudity, Gough was immediately arrested again this year when he emerged from the Edinburgh courthouse…naked.

While the internet has provided opportunities for naturists to connect and organize, it has also brought a host of problems to the movement. Some sites claiming to be naturist or nudist are thinly disguised porn sites, displaying sexual images which are totally contradictory to the ideals of naturism. Type “nudist culture” into Google and the top results are pages that function exactly like mainstream porn, showing you a titillating landing page and then offering a membership to the site. Sites like these also provide fodder for anti-nudist campaigns and create a false image of nudism as sexually-based.

“Nudity is a state of fact; lewdity, to coin a phrase, is a state of mind.”
-Paul Outerbridge, Jr.

There’s also the more disturbing issue of child porn. One disclaimer reads: “The depiction of adults and children nude in the visual media has enjoyed constitutional protection in the United States since 1958, when the Supreme Court vacated a Court of Appeals finding that Sunshine & Health magazine could be obscene (Sunshine Book Co. v. Summerfield, Postmaster General, 355 U.S. 372). The right to depict adults and children in innocent nude poses has been upheld without a pause for 41 years. In case after case, the Supreme Court and lower courts have always upheld the constitutionality of “nudity without more,” specifically referring to the nudist depiction as a fully constitutional form of expression.”

The obvious problem here? Naked pictures of children are naked pictures of children. I know my mom has some of me in the bath or running through a sprinkler, but they’re tucked safely away in a box somewhere, not available online for anyone with a credit card to view. While she does have a knack for busting them out at the most embarrassing moments, this is far preferable to some creep jacking off to an innocent photo of your kid.

“It continues to baffle me why there is no attempt to censor television’s continual portrayal of homicide as a means of conflict resolution, while at the same time regarding an unclothed human body as a problem.”
- Charlie Metcalf

Aside from issues within the nudist community, there are external criticisms. Despite the ideal of equality, some critics say nudism is only for the physically beautiful. These critics are probably fat. A more practical concern is that it’s simply too cold to be nude a lot of the time.

Skin does not equal sin.
- Naturist slogan

If you do decide to take the plunge, I dug up some nudist tips:

• Don’t stare. Ha. Ok - try not to stare. Or wear sunglasses.
• Bring a towel. This one is important. Although they’re cool with the visuals, nudists don’t like to put their bare asses where your bare ass has just been. Sit on the towel.
• No photos.
• Wear sunscreen! This is not just a cheesy song…delicate parts are called delicate for a reason.
• Don’t comment on other people’s appearance. At least not while they can hear you.
• Remember to put your clothes back on when you leave the beach. Seriously, people get really comfortable in their own skin and forget about the whole covering up deal.
• Avoid sexual activity. Heavy petters will usually be asked to leave, unless you’re at a swinging friendly venue.

“It is an interesting question how far people would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.”
- Henry David Thoreau

Cheek Piercing

Nothing like a fashion statement that looks accidental. You look like you were shrooming in a fun house with a nail gun, and the next morning you just said “fuck it, I’ll keep it.” Thank god you have a pice of jewelry randomly adorning your face. When you’ve run out of original places to stud your head, don’t go random. That’s like a musician saying “wehhh, all melodies have been done before. I’m gonna play random notes wherever and I’ll be so different I’ll be cool.” You’re not cool.

Acceptable Alternative:

Standard piercings, plus, on the right girl, eyebrow ring jewelry, or nose ring. Lip ring can work under very particular circumstances. You kinda have to be already hot.

Giant Sunglasses

At first I just felt bad for you, thinking an extraterrestrial symbiote had taken you as a host. How wrong I was. You may be proud that not the smallest beam in the slightest crack of space will get in your deflector shield eye booth, but you look like a bug on hind legs. A bug! The stick thin skin-and-bones body type completes the preying mantis fashion statement. While I do appreciate being able to catch the action behind me thanks to your pair of anti-theft convenience store convex mirrors, I’d rather you just BUZZ OFF. Yep - “buzz off”.

Acceptable Alternative:

Shades can be hot. Like any glasses, you just have to find something that fits your face. The goggles above don’t match any human face.

Image Source

Excessive Foundation

Here’s the problem: lots of cover up is actually worth covering up. You may think that a pimple mount of height X necessitates a layer of foundation of X + 1 thickness, but really you’ve managed to expand the “problem area” to your entire face. Good luck playing the “success through dim lighting” card. You don’t look like porcelain, you look crusty. If you can’t tan, don’t manufacture a layer of grainy fakeskin. Some guys like pale chicks.

Acceptable Alternative:

Skin cream. Or, your actual face. The foundation’s not better than nothing.

Pets as Accessories

Living. Creatures. Are. Not. Accessories. While I appreciate, on some level, the pimping out of an otherwise evolutionary abomination into some kind of social use, this is a problem. You have no idea of the statements you make when you walk around with these fashion rats, or the thoughts that go through every guy’s mind. Images of fur and bow ties in a mulcher, or my personal favorite daytime fantasy, a bit of art I call “kicking of a dog through uprights.” We hate your dog, and we hate you.

Acceptable Alternatives:

Treating an animal like the companion it is. Get a real pet or walk alone.

High Belts

There’s beauty in proportion, and nothing messes with that more than a blatant misplacing of a standard item. If you’re willing to constrict your ribs, do us all a favor and wear a corset. At least it’ll make your boobs look good.

Acceptable Alternative:

A normal waist belt, if you need it at all. No stupidly thick belts, either.

* * *

I suppose Paris Hilton is to blame for much of the kind of shite we see every day. I think it’s time women got over her and her irritating style, and started using fashion for what it was meant to do - make women look hot.

Honourable mentions, thanks to comments:

Crocs - Indeed, fucking hideous. Unfortunately, it’s a bit unfair to pin these on girls, since guys wear them too, but they do know how to kill hotness with them.

Ugz (Uggs) boots - The name is as ugly as the boots themselves. Just what guys always wanted, right? Furry legs. Great.

And, for more excessive foundation, check out this pic of Cindy McCain (gah)

I had removed Capris, but I guess they did belong:

PIMP cups a.k.a. crunk cups, a.k.a. pimp goblets

A king needs his goblet to toast his followers. A pimp requires his pimp goblet to cheers his bitches. The more diamonds and gold on a cup is made of the more baller of a baller you are. That is the logic of the streets (more specifically suburban streets where the middle class make baller-ass goblets to feel urban).

Thanks to lil’ John it just isn’t quite a house party in the burbs without someone shouting “get crunk” and waving around a hand painted glass covered in rhinestones. Isn’t life better now that bad rap producers have entered the meme. Also many people have suggested that they would like to see 2 girls, 1 pimp cup someday.

Gold Chains & Big Necklaces

One of the best rap duos out there at the moment is two guys out of Chicago called the cool kids. What makes them great is that they are a complete throw back to the mid 80s when rap was rap. When you could write a song about eating fruity pebbles and playing video games, truly this was a golden age for the music. I’m not calling current rap overly commercial, it just rings too closely to what 80s hair metal was. Overly escapist, materialistic and stale, that’s how I would describe it. The cool kids throw it back when all you needed was a little bit of gold and a pager. That’s how you’re supposed to keep it real.

Some cool chains as worn by attractive women, bought from who knows which

Another amusing trend was bounties being placed on famous necklaces worn by rappers. In some cases the necklace becomes more famous than the actual rapper. For example the Platinum H around the neck of Yung Joc. The H stands for hustlenomics. Hustlenomics has yet to be recognized by Websters. No definition available. The chain was reportedly stolen by some guys out in London, or not. No one is really sure.

Just a quick note here by De la Soul. The chain does not make the man. M F Doom has a song where he says, “I’m the Best Rapper who doesn’t wear a chain.”

bad ass.

Iced Out Watches

I got so much ice on my wrist if I touch a keyboard the computer freezes. That’s why I have a Vietnamese person write everything I tell them too. Cause the watch only comes off when I die.

Big bling watches are newer to the game. They did not really start to get noticed till the turn of the century. Jacob the Jeweler was first mentioned in a rap song in 1999 by Jay-z. Since then he has been mentioned in over 40 songs by various rap artists. His style of watches has been duplicated for the streets and now you can buy a cheap replica for about twelve dollars. Remember when swatch sponsored a Run DMC (the guys who played that song with Aerosmith) tour back in the early 80s? I don’t because I wasn’t born for another three years. You are old.

Schooly D had a song back in the day called Gucci Time about his brand new Gucci watch. Having these kind of watches was a symbol that you had made it. You could afford nice things and so you showed them off. Ice round my wrist suckas!

You need to be rolling on them twenty-twos. The bigger the rim the more fierce you are in the game. I think that is self explanatory. What says ballah! besides something that is pointless, expensive and bad for the environment. Need something chromed out? Hell Yeah! Want something golded out? Most Definitely. Need something chromed out? Even Better.

Big pimping!

If you balla you don’t worry about squalor. Life is on easy street.Things go by real nice. You are at the head of the game. Keep it good and clean and your gonna stay that way. The problem though is once you show flash that’s when people start to notice you. When people notice you they want what you have and are willing to take it from you. Gotta be up in there ready to protect what’s yours.

This Poster of Bill Murray says:

“Hey you, Yeah, the one sitting at your computer reading this, The Apple iPhone is now out in Canada. You could buy one, have it encrusted in Jewels and then shoot it into space. I do that three times a day because I am a poster of Bill Murray and I am rich.”

The gold based iPhone says, “hey, do not listen to the prior statement made by the Bill Murray poster. That poster has gone mad with power. Keep me close to your heart for I am golden and an iPhone.”

this is one of the iPhones that the Bill Murray still has not shot into space.

1. Closeup Necklaces

A real elegant beauty shows in these necklaces. So close you can touch them.

2. Neatly Hanging Necklaces

Nothing completes a woman’s look like necklaces. It’s always nice to see the magic when they compliment the overall aesthetic just right, giving a nice balance.

3. Heavy Necklaces

These necklaces show the kind of pattern we can all get used to. The first redefines round, while the second could be captioned “symmetry”.

4. “Small” Necklaces

There’s no reason why small necklaces are any less good than large ones. Not to take anything away from large ones, of course, just saying that beauty doesn’t necessarily come in one shape or size.

5. Necklaces That Draw the Eye

The way these necklaces are worn and shown, it’s hard to look away. In no time at all, you’re pointed to hanging happiness.

6. Celebrity Necklaces

Scarlett Johansson, Alyssa Milano, and Monica Belucci: three celebrity women whose necklaces are the stuff of dreams. Not just anyone can get their hands on these.

This ring once belonged to a Shaman, whose tribe has been practicing magic for centuries deep in the Brazilian Amazonian jungles. The dual serpents enfolding the Amber stone are symbolic of the Encantado Djinn, an extremely powerful shape-shifting fire genie who ironically rules over an underwater paradise. They also represent both white and dark magic, giving the practitioner options. The amber in this ring “carries the vibration of universal life force.” Millions of years old, amber is basically fossilized sunlight and tree sap, which gives it “excellent light energy.”

Your New Powers

Prosperity, inner spiritual transformation, and psychic awakening.
Protective and healing powers.
Access to ancient knowledge, viewing past lives, and peering into the future.
The ability to travel to all realms. Sweet!
Bending others to your will while cloaking your own ideas.
Purpose, strength, an evolved physical reality and higher consciousness.

Haunted Carnelian Fertility Ring

Scantily clad tiny golden girl included, this ring has been blessed with moon infused waters by all thirteen members of The Coven Blackthorn. The toughest part of blessing the ring was getting thirteen witches in the same room at the same time, what with the kids’ soccer schedules and all. The ring belonged to a powerful witch named Gredle, well known for her psychic and spell casting abilities before she passed away. “No one casts a fertility spell like Aunt Gredle” they used to say.

Your New Powers

Combined with the right spell and under a waxing moon, this ring can increase your wealth, love, psychic powers, and fertility.
Enhanced passion and desire.
Purified blood.
Relieved menstrual cramps.

Marid Queen Genie Ring

The best part about this ring is that it comes with its very own hot, submissive, queen genie! The ring bearer becomes her master whom she will bestow incredible powers and unlimited success. She can smite your enemies, and genies from other rings must obey her every command. “One ring to rule them all” so to speak. She will teach you how to take control of your life and how to achieve your destiny.

Your New Powers

Knowledge of the ancients.
Hot, submissive queen genie wrapped around your finger.
Good luck forever.
Finding whatever it is you desire.
Mind control, mind reading and telepathic ability.
Hot, submissive queen genie wrapped around your finger.
Time control.
Ability to travel through space.
Ability to communicate with any spirit.
Did I mention the hot, submissive queen genie wrapped around your finger.

Gypsy Warlock Trojan Ring

You’re not going to believe this, but this ring once belonged to someone’s great aunt who passed away. The woman was a Russian Gypsy Witch and a genuine Wiccan Spellcaster. She was well versed in Voodoo spells and had dream weaver abilities. She was psychic, clairvoyant, clairaudient, a receptive empath, a medium, and could channel the three heavenly angels Metatron, Uriel, and Yannie. Metatron has always been my favorite Transformer, er, I mean angel. The ring was discovered in Scotland and is haunted with many spirits who will guide its owner towards cash. Despite popular belief, the Trojan warrior on the face symbolizes the “Trojan Wealth Spell”, and not the “Trojan Baby Stopper” spell.

Your New Powers

Ability to win at any casino table.
The ability to know which lottery machines are winning machines.
Visions of winning lottery numbers.
Ability to win raffles and drawings.

Aside from acquiring wealth, the ring’s spirits will also provide you with bonus powers such as: Opening your third eye, visions of the future, protection from enemies, healing abilities, warnings of dangers, and even protection over your pets.

Note: When a Russian Gypsy discovers a ring in Scotland with a Trojan symbol on it, you just know the spirits who haunt the ring know their way around a casino. And the seller provides bullet-proof evidence of this fact when he states “Proof of its Magick: This ring has won more than $4.6 million dollars in lottery money and prizes.” I don’t need to hear more!

And what better way to protect your magic ring than inside this haunted, cursed, evil spell deflecting, dark magic protecting, werewolf frustrating, Wicca made jewelry box?

How to tell your ring is truly magical

1. It must be displayed on the flashiest, tackiest, most colorful eBay description page possible.
2. The background should consist of at least one if not all of the following items: flashing stars, pentagrams, candles, a wolf, the moon, a wolf howling at the moon with a sky filled with flashing stars, a sparkling pixie, gargoyles, and/or a crystal ball.
3. The ring description must be written in blue, purple, or gold lettering, with occasional Gothic font. A ring is especially powerful when the lettering appears to be on fire. 4. Magic is spelled with a ‘k’ (Magick) 5. It must have been handed down from an aunt who passed away. Apparently there are no powerful witches in existence right now, and no rings belonging to the living have any magical qualities to speak of.

“I went on the film saying, ‘I’m going to have an affair,’ like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit — because I’d never had one”

Well that’s a good reason to have an affair, if there’s ever been one.

“I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he’s had a few drinks.”

Yeah, I’d be trying to get a piece of princess too after seeing that enslaved-by-Jabba fashion.

Well, I always found the Return of the Jedi boob fondling scene to be a bit telling. Here’s a quick clip I whipped up to show that I was on to something with my hunch.

So Hand Solo likes to feel up Princess Get Leiad’s boobs, to try to Jabba her Hutt and maybe Chew her Bacca before Luke reaches her core with his light saber.

Too far?

“I sprinkle diamonds on everything I eat. Two reasons: One, it’s the most baller sh*t you could possible do to your food. And two, it makes my dookie twinkle.”

Hilarious and never far from the truth, Chappelle shows how “ballers” will bling just about anything. Here’s some more proof, and don’t worry, there’s no dookie.

iPhone

Encrusted with 138 princess-cut diamonds and 180 brilliant-cut diamonds all set in 18-carat white gold, the Apple iPhone Princess Plus is one of the most expensive phones in the world.

Mouse

It will cost you $25,030 to surf the net with this bad boy. Thankfully diamonds aren’t affected by palm sweat, otherwise the flower consisting 59 of them would surely wilt.

Mercedes Benz

Saudi Prince Waleed Bin Talal’s 38th car is this diamond studded SL600 Mercedes and is worth $4.8 million.

Bentley Shift Knob

Handcrafted with 30 carats of real diamonds and 10 ounces of 18 carat white gold, this $150,000 knob is worth more than most cars.

Hot Wheels

To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Hot Wheels cast this toy car in 18-karat white gold and embedded it with blue diamonds. The engine is encrusted with black and white diamonds, while the tail lights are made of rubies and the tires are a combination of black diamonds and red enamel. The car has an estimated value of over $140,000.

iPod Shuffle

There’s a solid chance that “Another Day in Paradise” by Phil Collins is not on your playlist if you’re strutting around with your $40,000 18 karat diamond studded, white and pink gold iPod shuffle.

MacBook Pro

Bring your laptop to Computer Choppers and they will gladly case it in gold or platinum for anywhere between $1,200-$1,500, and for an extra $2,400 you can have an Apple made of diamonds.

Christmas Tree

The Takashimaya department store in Tokyo is offering a Christmas tree with 400 diamonds from Africa and Australia for the low low price of $1.8 million. Pick one up and they’ll throw in a diamond studded teddy bear for free. I could probably afford the bear’s red bow. Then again, probably not.

Pacifier

Nothing says “You have got to be freaking kidding me” like this $17,000 14 karat white gold pacifier. Don’t let the 278 pave cut white diamonds blind you while sucking on the silicone nipple.

Fishing Lure

The million dollar fishing lure is over a foot long, contains three lbs of gold and platinum, and is encrusted with 100 carats of diamonds and rubies - 4753 stones when all is said and done. Unless you’re fishing for treasure chests don’t get this one anywhere near the ocean, or some fish will have the world’s most expensive lip piercing.

Thong

Hard to believe that something so small could contain 518 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling up to 30 carats. At $122,000 it’s no wonder there’s no top!

Sneaks

Unless you’re a hip-hop star like Big Boi who was offered a pair for free, you’ll have to fork up $50,000 to sport these Nike Air Force 1 “So CAls”. The gold metal Nike Swoosh is surrounded by 11 carat diamonds studded in casings, held together by a fine gold stitching.

USB Keys

You’d better be saving some incredible information on the Adamant, a gold 16GB flash drive with three, count ‘em, three diamonds. This tiny storage device costs $5,650.

Quantum Cryptography

Diamond-based optical fiber technology has revolutionized security in data transfer. Unlike other gems, diamonds, when grown at the tips of optical fibers, have a single flaw that emits single photons at a time, so you know for sure if information is being lifted. With this technology, if one proton’s missing, you notice. Source

Chemotherapy

Nanodiamonds can be used in cancer treatment by attaching them to cancer cells in a fluorescent state, serving to clearly illuminate areas to send medicine. How do you create fluorescent nanodiamonds? By detonating TNT and RDX, and taking diamonds on the nanometer scale from the soot, then blasting them with high energy helium ions. Being carbon-based, the human body doesn’t really have compatibility issues. Source

Precision Cutting

With their near-indestructibility, diamonds are and have been a great choice for cutting/engraving/etching. Used in everything from mining to precision surgery, they’re the only choice for long-term, exact use. Even if they are still diamonds and do still cost some good money, their reliability in lucrative applications keeps them employed. Source

Data Storage

Wants to hold a TB on a single disc? Single crystal diamond spheres are key to the next wave in data storage, as accurate tiny lenses needed to work with a readout laser operating at extremely short wavelengths. With its high refractive index and transparency, diamonds are the perfect choice. Source

Studying High Pressure Conditions

This 20th century invention uses two diamonds pressed against each other by a force-generating mechanism, creating an intense amount of pressure by the focusing of that applied force onto the small area where they meet. Observing high quality, flawless diamonds in this way allows for an in-lab study, illuminating difficult to observe large-scale pressure conditions such as pressure at the center of the Earth and on other planets. Flawless victory. Source

If diamonds are forever, then why do men spend two months’ salary on a wedding ring when 50% of marriages don’t last more than seven years? Let’s get realistic people! Unless people are whipping out magnifying glasses to check out your new bride’s finger bling, a cubic zirconia is just as sexy and a fraction of the price. It’s all about matching the right material with the right relationship. Here are some great ring ideas for people who laugh at words like “forever”, and “You’re the one” and “I love you”.
