LucySinclair's Video

Seeing the first installment of Lucy's video last week reminded me of how lucky we are here in Australia that public nudity is still considered a bit of a novelty over an outrage (typically - am sure there are still many places where it's illegal to parade about starkers, and would result in a short term prison stint).  As you all know, there are countries where such a thing is not only illegal, but could mean a death sentence.

Relative liberty or not, Lucy's (and Pia's) video deserves an ovation - for not only being cheeky, hilarious, and very, very Aussiestralian, but also for sheer ballsiness.  I for one applaud you, Ms. Sinclair.

Depends on where you live.  About 10 years ago the women of Santa Cruz marched on city hall protesting that the men were allowed to go topless on the beach,  but the women weren't.  Protesting the sexism to the female mayor and largely female council at the time,  the result was that Santa Cruz is a "clothing optional" city.  You can parade around nude downtown.  The police might try to chase you off,  but you can't be arrested.

It's a tricky situation.  The coast is either city owned, county owned, state owned, or privately owned.  (We have no National Seashores in Santa Cruz County).  Only the city beaches are clothing optional.  The main beach at the boardwalk is generally recognized as a "family" beach and therefore nudity is highly discouraged,  but not illegal.

There are plenty of cove beaches available for the whole family to enjoy life "a la mode".
