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.”””””
I remember that sunny morning of the nudist wedding at Black’s Beach, I put a bunch of Viagra in the wedding punch, things got a little awkward.
Talk about surf fishing
I would think they would worry about sunburn or slamming drawers or frying bacon....
I used to walk around the house naked, till all my neighbors yelled “Go back inside!”
