*************
Someone was asking me if I knew the County Laws regarding nudity and thongs. Here is just a snippit from Article II Nudity.

So, if you appear to be nude, look out. How does one make another person "appear" nude? Do they help dress a person in nude colored body suits? No nude colored speedos for Landlocked or you will be known as LockedNJail, and don't think about getting your wife to help dress you into that nude colored speedo because she will be known as Mrs LockedNJail2.

What is "dental floss?" Do people actually wear it?

[Jdarg]

Maybe dental floss is what we call butt floss aka thong.

I was wondering the same thing about "causing someone to be nude". Maybe if you hide their clothes while they are skinny dipping?

The 1/4 breast area coverage rule is an insult to those of us where that would be full coverage. Do we get the 1/8 rule if we are under a certain cup size?

Who gets to write these ordinances? They must have to be drunk.

[Miss Kitty]

OMG.....I was reading along thinking how clever you are, SJ! That is for real???? They use the term dental floss? Well, at least we have the law....but as we know, there are those born to break the law and cause many of us nausea!!

Which arm of the law gets to measure the bikini top coverage???

[Jdarg]

What is liquid latex? Is that one of those kinky Key West Fantasy Fest substances?

I re-read the ordinance- my life is so boring. I know I will never get cited for any of these things.

No, thong is listed separately.

You should read some of the definitions regarding buttocks for example. They are too nasty so I will not post them, but you can search the link for nudity, and easily read the craziness.

[Smiling JOe]

Which arm of the law gets to measure the bikini top coverage???

My calculus has long failed me now, otherwise, I would handle it. Oh, it appears you have only 24% coverage, I must sieze the evidence. By the way, they required that I search you too.

[Landlocked]

Dang it. I guess I'm gonna have to exchange my pasties for some larger ones.

[Smiling JOe]

What is liquid latex?

Paint. Often at music festivals, you will see a few naked women running around in painted bikinis. Actually, Sports Illustrated had a swimsuit issue with only painted swimsuits and models. Absolutely true.

[Jdarg]

After reading this thong thread (and forming the visuals in my head), I'm thinking it is a good MORNING for a Guinness.

[Miss Kitty]

Think Katie Blue might need to update the Visitors Guide? On second thought, I don't even want to think about any of our guests NEEDING to read that ordinance. Dang, I just grossed myself out!!!

[kurt]

Flossing in publice is generally not a good idea.

I remember that! It was a few years ago. I was working at Mars in Seaside that summer and we had that issue out and men would come in and just sit and look at it. They would ask us what we thought. Very intruiging...

[Miss Kitty]

publice...pubic hair w/ lice? BANNED!

[Mermaid]

I'm not sure that being the official "Code Enforcer" would actually be a good thing or not....

[kathydwells]

I guess now I will have to go out buy me some new suits for next year!! Darn! SJ, you sure know how to ruin a girls day!!!!

[beachmouse]

I can remember Walton County cop friend claiming that there was some sort of official document that was a template for what constituted appropriate butt coverage on the swimsuit issue- compare what the drawing on the piece of paper looked like to the potentially offending butt in order to see if it was in violation.

[Jdarg]

!0 years ago we saw a topless woman and her man taking a walk on the beach. That was our first year at Grayton, and we wondered what the heck kind of swinging place place it was! My 3 year old stared and stared- he didn't know grownups could be nakey on the beach.

... in other places which may reasonably be expected to be observed by the public ...

Does that mean we're breaking the law when we're skinny dipping in our pool if the neighbors can see it from the third story of their house? Or sunbathing in a thong with no top (but lying on our tummies) in our fenced-in pool area (just hate those tan lines!)?

You may be OK- but nakey swimming in the ocean sounds like it's out. Which is a good thing 'cause those sharks are out there eating at night, right?

There were some girls laying out topless in Grayton this summer...they were up in the dunes so it wasn't a big deal.

[Dabell]

There were some girls laying out topless in Grayton this summer...they were up in the dunes so it wasn't a big deal.

Oh you can see that in NYC! in the 90's the Women's right movement- argued that why can Men wear No shirt in public while women have to cover up? They WON the right! Now, if a man can do it a women can too, in NY anyway.

[Miss Kitty]

TOPLESS in the DUNES? Shame, shame, shame on those girls...being in the dunes!

[Jdarg]

TOPLESS in the DUNES? Shame, shame, shame on those girls...being in the dunes!

Yeah, SJ better get out there quick for a little law enforcement.

[Kimmifunn]

TOPLESS in the DUNES? Shame, shame, shame on those girls...being in the dunes!

Oh yeah...busted!

[Landlocked]

And I'm almost positive there would be photographic evidence

[seagrovelover]

Dang it. I guess I'm gonna have to exchange my pasties for some larger ones.

please tell us when you are going to the beach next!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops:

[Landlocked]

please tell us when you are going to the beach next!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops:

Well I'm hoping my wife has something scheduled for my b'day in october. Fingers are crossed!

[Jdarg]

She must want to "off" you- isn't October the month of killer alligators, swarms of deadly biting flies, and hungry groups of sharks?

[Landlocked]

That's what I hear.

[seagrovelover]

Don't listen to them LL !!!!!!!

[Smiling JOe]

I don't think the rules changed from last year. I just read them.

[Smiling JOe]

I guess some people may think the cops were looking at porn, if they show what not to wear.

Not if you are at my house.

[kathydwells]

Not if you are at my house.

[Landlocked]

Not if you are at my house.

No kidding!

[Beach Runner]

I'll risk it. LOL.

[Suncat]

There was a man at the Seaside pool this summer who, I swear, had on a thong..He was European--is this typical?

[Beach Runner]

Well, when we go to Barcelona, we strip down to nothing and sun in the daytime and swim at night next to diners at the nearby restaurant. No one seems to mind. So I guess it's a European thing. I mean, I've seen 70-year-old women sunning in Monte Carlo topless with their boobs hanging down to their knees, and no one flips out. After a couple of hundred years, we Americans are still influenced by our Puritan ancestors.

[Smiling JOe]

I encourage topless sunbathing in SoWal
I bet no female would ever have trouble getting someone to assist in applying the sunscreen, unless the applior's wife is sitting next to the appliee

I decided that if my husband was watching topless women, it might as well be me!

There you go! Although I couldn't convince my wife to do the same in Mexico. "Come on baby, you don't know any of these people!"

[kathydwells]

"Come on baby, you don't know any of these people!"

No, but she knew you, she probably didn't want to be "shaking" all over the beach.

[Landlocked]

LOL Hilarious reply to a ridiculous ordinance. The old speedo I had in high school would probably be obscene but not to worry I would be to embarrassed (pun intended) to wear it now.

[Jim Tucker]

Butt floss. A funny phrase.

[Hop]

Our puritanical society needs to get over themselves. People should be able to sunbathe however they like. If you don't want to see, don't look. It should not be legislated by the county how we can and cannot dress. I personally don't mind if my 7 year old son sees the human form whether it's a euro-man's hairy backside or a woman's bosom. It's an opportunity for us to discuss different people's viewpoints. Just my opinion.

I agree with you but americans' weight problem could be something we don't want to see in all its glory. Especially since so many of our visitors are from southern fried states.
