Naturism Festival: Naked people of all shapes and sizes enjoyed a cider farm visit

More than 300 nudists have enjoyed a barn dance, teddy bears' picnic and an Elvis impersonator as part of a week-long naturism festival.
British Naturism, the representative body for naturists in the UK, brought Nudefest to Somerset for the first time. Yesterday naked people of all shapes and sizes stripped off on arrival at Burrow Hill Cider farm in Somerset.
Staff even joined in with the nudity, but spared their modesty with strategically-placed stripy aprons.
Today the bare-skinned revellers will visit a nature garden, enjoy a war-time singalong, and tonight Bavarian-style entertainment with 'oompah' musician Baron Von Schmidt Haus.
Carol and Steven Wilkes were there with friends Keith and Annette Evans and have been 'doing' Nudefest for years.
Carol, 57, from Walsall, said: "We've been really lucky with the weather. It's usually really windy when you're camping."
Steve, 61, added: "There are heaters at the site. We put clothes on when it gets cold - we're naturists, not stupid."
Annette, 69, from Hampshire, said it's the atmosphere and chance to live naked freely that keeps them coming back. She said: "We come back, yes, because of the friends, but it's also the only chance we get to live fully without clothes - no taking them off and putting them back on again. It's liberating.
"The Elvis impersonator last night was amazing. His clothes were made by the original Elvis tailor, and we had a teddy bear's picnic today.
"We also had our first naked tandem cycle ride around the lake."
Annette is used to people misunderstanding their lifestyle but wanted to assure the public they were just normal people.
She said: "We're not here for people to make fun of us. We're not an amusement. We just like to live without clothes as we feel it's more natural."
Thorney Lakes Camping and Caravan site near Langport is playing host to around 300 nudists until July 11th.
A variety of activities have been planned or those wanting to take part and events will be planned throughout the week both on and off-site.

Fans come to Serena Williams defence over nipples showing through top at Wimbledon

Fans of Serena Williams have rushed to defend her after she was hit with backlash over her nipples showing through her top.
The tennis ace was competing in the quarter finals on Wednesday against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkovaon - which she went on to win - but the action on the centre court was overshadowed by complaints over her outfit.
BBC received some criticism over the star's revealing tight top, with many suggesting there should even have been a warning.
Surprise BBC haven't issued a warning that Serena is showing some nipple today! #Wimbledon
One wrote: "With all the money Serena Williams earns, why can't she buy a decent sports bra which covers her nipples properly?"
However, many fans have now taken to Twitter to defend the athlete, with several of them mocking the "outrage".
One tweeted: "Shock horror. Serena Williams has nipples. Outrage people, outrage."
Another added: "People are actually complaining about seeing Serena Williams' nipples through her shirt - and people still think we don't need feminism"

Others pointed out that people should perhaps be spending more time watching the tennis rather than focusing on Serena's chest.


"Why watch wimbledon if the most interesting thing you can find to comment on is serena williams's nipples (sic)," asked a fan.
Another user wrote: "Can't believe people are saying Serena Williams nipples are distracting from the tennis. Have you never seen nipples before?!"

Emily Ratajkowski strips naked on horseback in racy new shoot

It's not even the weekend and Emily Ratajkowski has already stripped completely starkers.
While most of us spend our Thursday afternoons in the office, the 25-year-old model apparently prefers to go naked horseback riding.
Ems teamed up with Harpers Bazaar for the seriously revealing photoshoot, which was inspired by feminist icon Lady Godiva.
The supermodel took to Instagram to tease the shoot where she showed off her stunning figure while protecting her modesty with just her hands.
She captioned the snap: "Me as Lady Godiva for @harpersbazaarus Naomi Wolf is someone I grew up admiring. Her ideas in The Beauty Myth and Promiscuities helped me to develop the opinions I carry today."

New Iron Man is revealed as 15-year-old genius black girl

Marvel comics fans have reacted with joy after the brand new Iron Man was revealed.
Riri Williams, a 15-year-old genius, has been revealed as taking over from Tony Stark after successfully reverse engineering her own version of Iron Man's armoured suit, and fans could not be more thrilled at her inclusion into the CMU.
"Tony stepping down as Iron Man and allowing a young POC WOMAN to take his spot... amazing," one fan wrote.
Another added: "I get people don't want Tony to step down or whatever but having a black woman as Iron Man is incredible and amazing representation."
However, some have reacted negatively to Riri, calling her 'PC' but others have hit back. One wrote: "Why is it suddenly PC and boring to bring a new character into the mix and have them be female and black?"
With Tony Stark becoming almost too old to step into the Iron Man suit and fight for the world, he's been on the look-out for a replacement, so when Riri manages to create her own Iron Man suit, the billionaire playboy knows he's found his successor.
"And this story of this brilliant, young woman whose life was marred by tragedy that could have easily ended her life, just random street violence, and went off to college was very inspiring to me," Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis told Time.
"I thought that was the most modern version of a superhero or superheroine story I had ever heard."
The writer also revealed that Riri may even be smarter than the notorious genius, and that Tony is aware of it.
He said: "He’s also aware that this young woman is flying by him in terms of how quickly she’s doing it. Her brain is maybe a little better than his.
"She looks at things from a different perspective that makes the armor unique. He can’t help but go maybe I should buy her out."

Serena Williams' nipples distract viewers at Wimbledon

Serena Williams has made waves at Wimbledon and it's got as much to do with her outfit as her tennis skills.
The star impressed as she beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkovaon on centre court to move into the semifinals but many viewers were shocked by her VERY revealing top.
The tight white shirt left very little to the imagination , with one sports fan tweeting: "With all the money Serena Williams earns, why can't she buy a decent sports bra which covers her nipples properly?"
However, it's not the only outfit to cause controversy during the tournament.
Both Kiki Bertens and Eugenie Bouchard have been seen in Nike's controversial dress, and it's not always been a good look thanks to the flimsy nature of the design.
Any gust of wind or particularly exaggerated movement makes the dress fly above the waist, which Eugenie discovered during the first round.
She told Australia's News.com: "When I was serving, it was coming up, and I felt like the dress was just everywhere. In general, it's quite simple, the dress, but it was flying everywhere."
However, Garbine Muguruza has taken Wimbledon fashion to a new level with her Stella McCartney dress, which features laser-cut holds and a feminine style.
And despite Nike's short skirts making headlines, Camila Giorgi's tiny outfit was designed to stay in place.

Game of Thrones Season 7 production may start a bit

As if ten months is not long enough to wait for the new season of "Game of Thrones", season 7 air date is now potentially pushed back. Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed during a UFC podcast that production would start a little bit later than usual to capture the gloomy weather. "We're starting a little bit later because, at the end of this season, winter is here, and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more," said Weiss. "We kind of pushed everything down the line so we could get some grim, gray weather, even in the sunnier places that we shoot."

As for whether the delay in production would push back the season premiere, Weiss just said, "We don't have an air date yet."

"Game of Thrones" usually began production on its new season in July for a March or April premiere. HBO has not commented on how the production delay will affect the air date.

In the meantime, we can only speculate on what will happen next to some favorite characters. A fan theory suggested that Jon Snow could end up with Daenerys Targaryen or Sansa Stark. Responding to this, Sophie Turner said, "Oh my god, really? I haven't actually heard that. Stranger things on 'Game of Thrones' have happened."

She continued, "Maybe politically, it makes sense, I honestly don't know how I would feel about that, I'd have to speak to the producers about that one. Honestly, what I think is going to happen - and I don't know where the story is going to go, but I think Jon and Daenerys are going to end up together, probably. I feel like Jon and Sansa would be a strange one, especially because isn't it considered not legitimate if you haven't consummated the marriage, and I really don't think either of them would be particularly up for that. It would be very difficult to do that. [Laughs.]"

Asked whether knowing Jon is her cousin would change anything for Sansa, the actress responded, "Yeah, definitely. Sansa always took her mother's side on that. She was always influenced by her mother's resentment towards Jon because of Ned allegedly cheating on her and bringing back an illegitimate child, so finding out that Ned never cheated, that Jon isn't an illegitimate child of Ned's, would probably bring them closer together. I think at this point where there could be a lot of rifts in their relationship, it's good to have something that would probably draw them closer together."

Emilia Clarke also weighed in on the possibility of Dany marrying Jon. "Those rumors have never been substantiated within the 'Game of Thrones' circle. It's never been said. So I don't know. I could kill him. He could kill me. He could be dead before we even meet. I could be dead before we even meet. Arya could kill us both! You never know! Anything's possible. All I know is winter is coming ... and I'm bringing the heat!" she coyly said.
