Aaaah,
the beach--the beach! What would a nude gathering be like
without a nude beach?? And, in this case, a black sand
beach?

From closer up, you start to see the people, and to
appreciate the unique color of the sand.

Some fellows from the Gathering enjoying the
ultra-smooth, silky feeling of the fine black sand squishing
between their toes.

This naked bear was spotted coming out of
the surf.
Cool shades, dude!

|
And then there was the Talent Show!

Del and Richard dump out the dress-up
bags to get ready for the blind drag contest.

There
was Jim, the Magician With Nothing Up His Sleeve (or his
anything else), getting everyone tied up in knots.
|
|
Three guys were blindfolded
and each assigned two dressers, who raced to put the clothes
onto their unsuspecting model.
|
|
This one won the Most Trashy
trophy.
This one won the Most
Glamorous award.

The final tableau, with all three models
and all six dressers.

LUAU TIME!
The end of the week brought us a genuine Hawaiian luau,
complete with the hulas we'd learned earlier (this time
performed by professionals), authentic food, and a good time
to be had by all.
|
|
Time to get the body paint on
for the end-of-week luau!
|
|
Alas, these professional
dancers did not take off their loincloths.
We applauded anyway!
