Diners get naked for 'Clothing Optional Dinner'

by rpst
The diners arrived at a nice Manhattan restaurant on a cold February night and stripped off coats, hats, gloves and scarves. They didn't stop there.

Skirts, shirts, pants, underwear and stockings all ended up stashed in plastic bags by the bar as the patrons got naked for the monthly "Clothing Optional Dinner."

"It's exciting to be in a restaurant nude," said George Keyes, 65, a retired junior high school English teacher.

Nude yes, but not unadorned.

Keyes, a lifelong nudist, wore a necklace, earrings and a black leather "genital bracelet" with red studs. And white sneakers.

The dinner was started by a group of New York nudists who wanted something a bit more elegant than the wilderness getaways and beach resorts they generally frequent.

"When you go away on holiday it's more you're roughing it in the woods, whereas this is a really nice restaurant," said Keyes, a member of gay nudist group Males Au Naturel, or MAN.

John Ordover set up the dining club about a year ago, recruiting members through word of mouth and the Internet.

"Next month is our Easter bonnet event, where everybody has to come wearing an Easter bonnet," said Ordover, a heavyset man with a jovial smile and glasses.

Manhattan restaurant hosts nudist night

by neo-nazis and "peace activists" are
in that they both seem to take israel's negatives, INTENTIONALLY EXAGGERATE them by a million, and then take the palestinian leadership/terrorists negatives and MINIMIZE them and white-wash their motives, etc.

It's kind of scary

I spent a disgusting 90 minutes yesterday reading two major neo-nazi sites, david duke's website, counterpunch, rense.com, whatreallyhappened, antiwar, nowarforisrael, and one other site I can't remember and the ANTI-ISRAEL EXAGGERATED BULLSHIT (and the insane exaggerated or made-up rantings about "zionists") are THE SAME. SAME REASONS, SAME LOGIC, SAME MISGUIDED INFO, etc.

The rabid anti-zionists who claim to be "anti-racist" are spewing the same dishonest anti-israel bullshit as the rabid anti-zionists who are PROUDLY, OPENLY RACIST.

Whats the connnection between a story about a nudist dinner in NYC and antiemitism and Nazis? There may be some Nazi nudists out there and some Jewish nudists out there but this story doesnt mention anything about the people at the restraurant being Jewish or Nazis.
by nudist
When Hitler took power in Germany, the Nazi Party seized all the nudist properties and disbanded the nudist organizations. Nazis didn't arrest the nudists, however. Hitler said nudists had merely committed "an error of taste"; not a crime.
are always the last people you want to see naked? A bunch of pudgy, doughy, rolly-polly, chunky, pot-bellied, gristle butt, fat-ass exhibitionists! Like Berkeley's nudist people. You all were the reason that clothes were invented!

Hey go to a gym and get in shape first!

If they came into a restaurant where I was eating, I'd be the first to yell at them, "Hey! Some people are trying eat over here! What are you trying to do? Make me barf?"

Why isn't it ever a bevy of sleek, svelte, lythe, slender, shapely Swedish girls who want to go au naturelle at a restaurant, at a Berkeley cafe, at a dance party, on the beach, or at any San Francisco sex club? Instead it's always the fat ones. Not politically correct but just telling the truth. Even women complain about this regarding nudist men.

Some clubs and restaurants have a dress code. We need nudist clubs, parties, beaches, or restaurants, with a weight code. Only the bouncer should be fat, and clothed.

Whoever posted the "we need nudist clubs with weight limits!" is a total moron. Obviously he has issues with his own body, and can't accept the fact that everyone is different. Go peddle your hatred elsewhere, narrow-minded twit.

This goes out to the ignorant ass hole who thinks that some people who are over weight should not go to naturist resorts, nude beaches, restaurants or, in other words be seen NAKED!!

Well I think he has issues with himself and, should know that nudism isn't all about looks its a state of mind and being unclothe not sex.
People like him renforces the issue of why us proud Americans are culturely behind the rest of the free world when it comes nudity and, public nudism.
