| | The actual story of the Krazy Kidz Adult Pajama Party
This celebration was just an occasion for grownups who desire only to enjoy being a kid again, at least for one night. But the story of the party blew up into a media-fueled circus of assumptions and mistakes.
To give you a little back story, the event was coordinated by a friend of a friend. They were looking to hold a fun indoor celebration during winter months. The management of the institution wasn't involved with advertising or preparation the celebration. They only viewed it as a chance to bring in a little extra income.
In all honesty, I was uncertain what to expect in the beginning. I know that for many individuals, an "adult pajama party" is code for alluring lingerie. I am happy to say, that to my agreeable surprise, just about everyone there was dressed in genuine pajamas and not something seen at Victoria's Secret! I knew right away what I was in forpajamas, pizza and a jungle gym with a swing and slide? Oh yes, I'm undoubtedly going to feel like a child again tonight!

I recalled, as do most people, how much fun it was when I was a kid; playing on the jungle gym, climbing trees and swinging at the playground with not a care on the planet. I feel that as adults, we lose this childlike side that is so important to keeping us youthful and joyful. Sometimes the obligations of work and life generally speaking get so overwhelming that people forget what it was like, many years ago, when the largest stresses had to do with elementary school homework.
The event itself was for the young-at-heart (who were 21 ). Just a few people participated in the nude facet of it. But unfortunately, graphics of the celebration (including bare pictures) were leaked online, and the storyline of the celebration reach the media where it took on a life of its own.
Here's how it actually went. I started the night investigating the jungle gym. I can't begin to say how much pleasure I had in that maze! We went head first down the chute, pushed each other on the swing and sat to observe the beautiful aerial performers from the top. After the jungle gym we appreciated some pizza and a couple of drinks. Afterward the DJ started to play some dance music.
It was at this point that a few of my friends decided to do a "naked flash mob." The nude flash mob was an idea we came up with that was approved by the host, to get naked at some point in the night on the dance floor. The hope was to introduce the concept of innocent, non-sexualized nudity to this social setting (which we were told was entirely okay - as long it wasn't a sex thing. Which it clearly was not!).
Anyone who was naked, was, obviously, very respectful of the other people in attendance. They were also completely respectful of the venue and its equipment and only remained on the dance floor.
I have attended many naked parties and events hosted by Naturist Portal with my pals. Although this occasion was not hosted by FKK, everyone there abided by the rules and ethics that govern their events and parties, to the letter.
Shortly after my friends got naked and danced on the dance floor, we noticed that a few others joined them. We were glad to see the open mindedness of lots of people at the celebration. But http://eastmarkcommunity.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=lolitabeach.xyz was that we were really getting our message across - nudity, and for that matter, the human body itself, is not something that people should link with shame, nor is it consistently sexual. Occasionally, nudity can be a source of empowerment and recognition. We created a nonjudgmental, body-positive surroundings, and the people who were there undoubtedly felt and appreciated that.
The way this story has been presented in the media is profoundly upsetting. The many news outlets covering this report just interviewed the parents' reactions to the unsubstantiated rumors surrounding the "ill-famed adult nude pajama party" (as it's being called in the media).
It is extremely unsettling to see that not one of the folks who were present and attended the occasion was interviewed to offer the truth about what happened. The only "news" that's been reported thus far has been a ludicrous over-dramatization of the events that took place. As far as I know, none of the reporters did their due diligence. Pictures were posted, but without context.
There was nudity at the occasion, but it was tasteful, simple and innocent nudity (just as it was clearly stated in the bash invitation). The one focus of the news reports and the argument against the party was the nudity. The media would never have followed this story had there not been any reports of "nude revelers." Despite the fact that the nudity at the party was no more sexual than a Spencer Tunick photo shoot, the assumption was that this was a sex party. This is exactly the problem with this whole relationship and the irresponsible reporters jumped all over it without taking the time to get the facts right.
The important problem that this party has brought to light is that many individuals, particularly the media, cannot even grasp the notion of non-sexualized nudity. To many, the nude human body is a source of shame; a lewd, sexual, disgusting thing that must be covered up for morality and cleanliness' sake.
The reactions from many of the concerned parents just reveal how the human naked body is totally misunderstood in American society today. Remarks such as how the place "could never be cleaned enough" and how parents did not want their kids "crawling in other people's bodily fluids" illustrates the giant disconnect folks have with the thought of nudity. Some remarks went as far as to say that sex always goes on at "these type of parties." I would like to be the first to say that perhaps this is accurate for the kinds of events those commentators like to attend, but this is not the kind of events I Have gone to nor witnessed. The reality is that the naked body is not filthy, lewd or black. It's us in our natural shape - nothing more, nothing less.
It's important for those people who were there to say the truth, and I was there. No one was naked on the equipment, and there was definitely no sexual activity or drug use that took place at the party. As authentic young naturists all understand, that type of behaviour is not acceptable and just not compatible with our doctrine or lifestyle. It really is important for people to understand the facts and circumstance of occasions before passing judgment. Remember that we are all young at heart and that sometimes an innocent "adult nude pajama party" is just that - an innocent "adult naked pajama party"!
