Here's another example of retro nudism. I absolutely adore the smile on this woman's face, it shows such joy and confidence which I think perfectly captures the awesomeness of the nude life.
I don't know what it is about old photos like this, but they always seemed happier back in the day. I wasn't even a thought in my mother's mind back then, so I didn't live through those years, was the world really happier? Or did they just keep the miserable photos hidden? Regardless of what it is, I want her life.
One thing I notice as I look at this is her jewelry. Even nudists aren't above adorning themselves with beautiful things. However, unlike clothing, which can either hide or over-sexualize the body, this jewelry merely compliments the beauty already inherent in her body.
Every body is beautiful, and it's great when someone has the courage to display it, and the creativity to accentuate it.
