While the fully-clothed Obamas frolic in the fun and sun of Martha's Vineyard, millions more are finding true joy and happiness by going naked.
These naked vacations are referred to as "nakations" and they are gaining in popularity.
Says the AANR (American Association of Nude Recreation), "vacationing in the nude is more relaxing, relieves stress and, contrary to what you might think — it’s actually good for your self-esteem."
And think of the money to be saved on luggage fees. Stick it to the airline man! Indeed, fully two percent of nakationers say they chose a naked vacation for its simple economy. You won't even need a carry-on.
But before you go all Victorian, jump back, Mrs. Judgment. Nakations aren't just for swingers. Nakations are a wholesome family affair.
Anything you can do clothed, you can do naked. You can even golf naked. In the South of France, no less!
And if naked golfing doesn't appeal to you, what up? Are you dead?
For those of you on a staycation budget, fret not. You, too, can nakate, in the privacy of your own home.
For just $74.00 you'll receive a "nakation in a box," complete with temporary tattoos, a towel, sunscreen, and a sticker for your car alerting other drivers that you're "in a nakation state of mind!"

This sounds like the best idea ever. Sign me up!
But Kristina! What would your snuggie do without you?
(I will say, up front, that virtually every comment that starts with "I am not a prude, but..." involves prudery of a fantastic sort. BUT:)
You will not catch me doing the naked thing in public.
This has nothing to do with body image (although 99.9% of the population looks better with clothes ON), concerns about my children (the Goth walks around practically naked most of the day), or personal modesty (changed for years in the surgeon's --and therefore MALE--changing room).
It's the sunburns.
Red hair, fair skin, NO SKIN. Period.
Mother, I am SHOCKED. I thought YOU, of all people, would come out strongly in support of nakating. I'm speechless. I just don't know what to say.
As for the gratuitous compliment posted by the commercial PhotosbyErich, gosh golly, gee. Kristina P does indeed write a mighty fine blog.
Hint: Erich I must delete you. Nothing personal. I'm just a no spam-gam.
OMG!! Girl, that's some funny s***! No Nakations planned for The Maven this year...LOL!
Oh Lordy - thanks for the laugh. Just back from Meet the Teacher, and I so needed it.
I'm forwarding this link to my facebook buddies. We're all gathering together in Austin next June to celebrate the year of us all turning 40 - I told them it called for a visit to Hippie Hollow. Bunch of prudes said no way.
Hell ya I'm going. 40 and fabulous!
But no bike riding though. That's just nasty.
Bwahahhaaa: word verif. is "haming"
My friend did a 5k at a local nudist colony and she said they were very nice people and that they were very welcoming. And as for the luggage bit, you would need to pack a few towels... you don't want to sit where someone else has sat their naked little bottom without any protection. All I can say is ick! And I have the feeling the only people at these places are people that aren't real lookers and probably shouldn't be walking around nude to begin with. ICK! :)
