Olympians Sound Off on Body Image in Swimsuit Issue
|
If it's the middle of February, it must mean it's time for Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. This year's edition coincides with the Winter Olympics in Vancouver that began last week. U.S. Olympians Lindsey Vonn and Hannah Teter posed for the issue with the intention of promoting healthy body image. Teter said in a recent interview that she's "OK with being naked. There shouldn't be a huge deal made about it."
The issue also features bodypainting by artist Joanne Gair.

Banner Triggers Complaints at Oregon Mall
|
Last week
we heard from AANR Government Affairs Team volunteer Shirley Gauthier with
report of a story too important not to pass on.
It seems
that Shirley and other volunteers from The Willamettans nudist club in Marcola, Oregon,
set up a table alongside other participating members of the area chamber of
commerce at an annual event held within a local shopping mall. Within
minutes of putting up a tasteful "window shade" type display banner, they were
asked to take the banner down. Ever diplomatic and cordial, Shirley
complied but she did ask why. The reason? Its presence had generated a
complaint to mall management.
What
triggered the complaint was the words American
Association for Nude Recreation, as well as the AANR-Northwest logo that appeared
along with very discreet pictures, shots of couples pictured from their
shoulders up, plus a 40-something woman crouched behind her dog after enjoying
a stroll on a nude beach.
But
the story doesn't end there. Click here to read more.

Why Your AANR Membership Matters
|
"My husband and I are Premier Members of AANR. We know that AANR continues to improve the public perception of nude
recreation, to monitor and influence legislation that may affect our right to
enjoy social nudism, and to offer help to those whose rights are challenged. I hope you
will either continue or begin your membership in AANR because you, too,
care. If we don't care, who will?"
