Some residents of a California nudist resort are experiencing birthday suit blues after the owners of the property allegedly cut their power for refusing demands to clothe themselves.
The drastic step is the latest development in a feud between the owners and residents of the historical refuge for the unclothed, Olive Dell Ranch near Riverside, California.
Despite its nudist roots since 1952, owners of the ranch enacted a “textile” policy months ago, forcing residents to clothe themselves in public areas. The residents then sued the owners, alleging they violated their civil rights by restricting their freedom to bare arms, legs and everything in between.
...
The owners, who bought the property in 2019, are accused of letting it go to ruin and forcing residents to maintain it. The pool had been left to turn green, the sauna and restaurant were closed, community events were canceled and the water system was neglected, leaving people without drinking water at points.
Roads, showers and tennis courts also deteriorated.
Residents even began feeling unsafe when the front gate stopped locking, and they began worrying about peeping toms checking out the nudists.
...
The attorney considers the nudists’ affinity for bare skin to be a characteristic that they can be discriminated against for. “The reason it’s against the law, is the civil rights act prohibits any business from discriminating against anyone based on their characteristics,” she told ABC 7.
The nudists are seeking millions in damages from the owners of the Olive Dell Ranch for breach of contract, negligence, elder abuse, civil rights violations, and other things. Campbell said an associate from her firm was in court Friday fighting for the nudists, and the judge chided the defendants on engaging in “self-help” evictions.

I was in a nude wedding back in the late 70s it was at Blacks beach near San Diego. It was kinda fun, I also came within an inch of being best man.
The low temps in that chart are pretty much what we’re getting in GA daily now but it’s supposed to be warmer in the coming week..worries of freezing pipes at night, freezing or below temps...
Temps further out in the high desert, it can be wretchedly hot in the summer and wickedly cold in the winter...A motor trip from OC to Las Vegas in the summer was brutal..
I had to go back and enlarge it - funny!!!!
Bada-bing....
Let’s see that joke is.....90 years old.... at least...
Maybe the ‘naked truth’ is that a data center is to be built on the land so the residents need to be forced out.
Humor is great today! A welcome change!
The problem with nudism is that it’s never the type of people you would like to see nude.
Those ones get paid for it. They don’t pay to DO it.
TRUTH.
I went to the nudist beach with my sister in Maui - 90% weenies, 10% bikinis.
Gross men were leering so we left.
Nude tennis? Maybe okay for Steffi Graf in her prime.... but these nudist places always feature the wrong people naked!
Can't remember if it was in Nice or St -Tropez.
There were tons of really cool yachts moored just off the beach so I was walking down the beach gawking at the boats and taking pictures.
I was completely engrossed in checking out all the cool boats.
After a while, I was getting some really weird vibes and looked around.
Turns out I had wandered onto a nude beach and I was the only one who was wearing clothes. Made me feel like I was totally out of place and people were staring at me like I was some weirdo so I guess it goes to show, all things are relative. :-)
Even on a nude beach on the French Riviera it quickly became obvious that most people had no business gallivanting around in the buff - a lesson in life that has stuck with me.
I hold up Orient Beach, Saint Martin as a prime example. Picture walruses sunning themselves on the shoreline.
If the Good Lord wanted us to go around nude He wouldn’t have had us born with our clothes on.
Stacey Abrams, JB Pritzker, Jerrold Nadler and Whoopi Goldberg are all going to the nude parade protest over this.
Good time to go inside and close your window shades.
Tightly.
Well so Am I
You ever see that beeber thread ?
“Picture walruses...”
LOL!
Good line in the overlooked film The Power (1968) when the middle aged blonde pinup girl played by Barbara Nichols (a stripper role in The Untouchables and others) tries to flirt with George Hamilton and says “When I get goose pimples they’re not just on my arms, I get them all over my body.”
Later when he locates her violent husband and their rundown trailer home, she is surprised and pleased and drops her bath towel to try to flirt again.
Hamilton: “I see what you meant about the goosepimples.”
No pictures, please.
