This
shopping center
had some decidedly under-dressed shoppers during one special weekend…
as hordes of underwear-clad women competed to win $145 gift vouchers.
Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex gave the prizes to the first 100 women to turn up in nothing but their bra, panties
and high heels. After getting
the gift card
the girls who had dared to bare were then encouraged to hit the shops
and buy themselves a new outfit. However, while women had already got a
pair of hight heels on, a surprisingly high number of them headed
straight for the shoe shops… which must have made their walk home
interesting.
Naked Sledging
Thirteen men and 13 women dressed only in panties and
helmets to protect their heads, took to the 90 metre long iced snowy
piste to battle it out in the famous sledging race, a team event, which
attracted over 17,000 visitors. The winners were a trio of hotel
workers form the local area and they took home the title of 'Naked
Sledging World Champion' as well as a shared prize of £1,000. It was
the third year
the contest has taken place.
Naked Rugby
Rugby players aren't afraid of anything, including
playing naked! A match in the nude over the weekend in Dunedin, New
Zealand, went off without a hitch, except for chilly weather and a
streaker! The nude rugby international, which started as a celebration
of New Zealand's national nude day, was held as a warm-up – although
temperatures were reportedly cold enough to prove embarrassing – to the
forthcoming match between the All Blacks and France. Needless to say,
there were plenty of tackles flying about with only one interruption …
when a fully-clothed streaker ran on to the pitch.
Naked Reading at Oxford
In a bit of controversy on campus, the Breakfast
Club–a group of about 40 male and female Worcester College students–get
together in the library on Wednesday afternoons to do group revision…
with a bit of stripping. The “Half-Naked Half-Hour” began in 2009 when
Breakfast Club students decided it would be fun to partially disrobe in
the Oxford campus library to break “the monotony of a long day's
revision” and “cool down during the hottest periods of the day.”
Unfortunately for them, librarians sent an email to the college saying
the practice was ‘unacceptable' and ‘a distraction to other readers'.
And therefore, prohibited the practice.
Naked Roller coaster Riding
In 2010, more than 100 people stripped off their clothing and went for a
roller coaster
ride in the UK to raise money for a local hospital while setting a
world record. There were 102 enthusiasts who went for a clothing-free
ride on the Green Scream roller coaster at Adventure Island, in
Southend, Essex. The roller coaster ran three times to ensure all of
the nude people had a ride. The event raised more than £22,000 for
Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation's Bosom Pals Appeal. Philip
Miller, who runs Adventure Island, said: “People have travelled from
all over the UK to take part and we've heard some amazing stories from
so many who have been directly, or indirectly, affected by cancer and
wanted to give something back.”
The previous record, of 32 naked people on a roller coaster, was set in
2004, on the Nemesis roller coaster at Alton Towers, Staffordshire.
Naked Mud Wrestling
In eastern Japan in the cold month of February a
number of nigh naked Japanese men (why can't it be women?) gather in a
cold muddy pond to wrestle and throw mud at each other. They are
performing an old planting ritual. Mud is seen as a lucky symbol
because the presence of it ensures a hopefully bountiful rice harvest.
The participants also smear mud on the faces of the
spectators to give them good luck.
Naked Hairstyling
A gentleman's hair salon Down Under has found a novel
way to boost business - all its lady hairdressers are topless. The idea
for Hotcuts came from Polish-born owner Wojtek Wasilewski, 26. But it
took him 18 months to find four girls, hairdressers, who were willing
to go semi naked as they brandished their scissors. Wojtek said: 'I
wanted to make the salon like a gentlemen's club. 'Business is booming.
The phone has been ringing off the hook. 'I'm not surprised. They are
stunning girls.'
Naked Wedding
It might not be what Prince William and Kate Middleton
had in mind, but this couple from Austria have turned the other cheek
to tradition and gone for a full-blown naked wedding. Melanie
Schachner, 26, and Rene Schachner, 31, tied the knot in the buff in
Feldkirchen after trying to find a way to make sure they would never
forget their wedding day. With just a veil for the bride and a top hat
to cover Rene's wedding tackle for the official photos, the pair got
hitched in a register office service in front of friends and family
before celebrating in a castle.
Maybe they got inspiration from Aussie couple Ellie Barton and Phil
Hendicott, who conducted their nuptials in the nude back in 2009. They
won a radio competition which awarded them a free wedding - as long as
they both wore nothing at all. However, their 250 wedding guests were
not required to go starkers.
Naked Bike Riding
London may have had the Sky Ride, but Philadelphia
went one step better - or, at least, nakeder - as hundreds of nude
cyclists rode through the city. The throngs of naked and
partially-naked cyclists took to the streets for the second annual
Philly Naked Bike Ride in an effort to promote bicycling awareness and
cleaner air. And certainly, it's hard not to be aware of bicycling when
hundreds of naked cyclists are bearing down on you. Some of the riders
went completely naked, while others covered up slightly with
underwear, swimming
costumes or elaborate body paint. The cyclists rode over a pre-planned route of several miles through the city.
Naked Workout
A gym in Spain's Basque region has come up with an eye-catching way of battling the recession. It began offering naked
workouts, for
nudists.
Easy Gym in Arrigorriaga is the first of its kind in Spain, pioneering
the peculiar practice of stripping while keeping fit. The gym did its
research before opting to chase the nudist euro. It discovered that two
local swimming pools already
offered popular monthly sessions for bathing in your birthday suit.
Every year, in nearby Sopelana, there is a mass naked run along the
sands.
Sceptics suggest that running full tilt in the buff might not be
entirely enjoyable, though. Sports underwear, they point out, was
invented for a reason. But the gym owner denies her concept is
impractical. Easy Gym
stresses it
does provide towels for comfort and "to prevent slippage" on the
equipment. But some sporting types are clearly unconvinced by the
concept.
