Ring reverberates -- via Planet Nude

"Whether he knew it or not, Fred Ring wasn't just fighting for his freedom; he was challenging deep stigmas society held about nudity, staking the claim that nudism is not inherently obscene. Despite considerable public opposition, his case spotlighted his argument, and raised the question: Is nudity a crime, or a civil right?"

Naked Wanderings is Seven Years Old

"Naked Wanderings has grown to be much more than we could ever dream of. On one hand, we feel like we have a responsibility now to just keep going. But on the other hand, we are living the life we’ve always dreamt of. And we have no plans to stop doing this any time soon."

"Lombardi's writing allows the reader to traverse with her between two worlds that could not be more distinct ... the casual, free-thinking camp, and ... the uptight, judgmental world outside ... you share in her triumphs and challenges. This is a human story, rich and full of life, and it grabbed me from the first page."

“... my nipples were on display through a piece of fabric, and it really wound people up.... It’s the freedom that people are scared of; the fact I’m comfortable and happy.

“... we’ve become so terrified of the human body that we can’t even look at my two little cute nipples behind fabric in a way that isn’t sexual.”

"Simply put, naturism has become a business.... Instead of seeking legitimization, we seek normalization.  

"It’s essential to acknowledge that normalization involves conforming to societal norms and standards ... while legitimization involves defining and defending individuals’ or groups’ differences and unique qualities and exploring how diverse ideas may coexist."
