retro NAP - a few to start

[Darius]

Thanks to Dixsler, Klondike & RamsDixon (What a great history of the event).
Thanks for educating me on the event, it is appreciated.
To Klondike- I have not yet posted much to this site, and have a question on
posting etiquette. If I have pics to add to your post is that allowed, or should I start a new thread? I'd be happy to add, but wouldn't want to step on your toes... or break any rules By the way, I am very impressed with how friendly this board is, as well as the number of quality posters.

I agree with Stewie: Boobs just looked different in the 70's.

Great post, by the way.

I'd love to see your pics. No need to ask - I often start threads like this because I want to add to my collection, not show off what I've got!

looking forward to seeing them -

thanks,

Klondike

posted in my old nudist threads
both later and older
and i think the dick drost contests were called miss nude america
and they went back to the 60's i'm pretty sure
his nudist club naked city recieved enough attention then
that is why ponderosa opened up there i think
and i believe he started going hollywood with marylin chambers and linda lovelace and such to draw
attention to himself somewhere i have old pictures of both at naked city
scanned from a magazine might an old playboy nude with stars section

Well, I thank you for it. You don't happen to know anyone that collects uncopyrighted (i.e. HH usually) retro NAP and Naked City pics?

thanks,

Klondike

Thanks for the history. I knew about Naked City but didn't realize it was held at a different club. I guess I always assumed it just predated NAP but was held at the Ponderosa Sun Club. So, I'm confused about my retro pics because maybe some are actually from Naked City, not NAP. It all depends on what the timeline was. Looking closely at my pics from Hooter Historians, some show babes sitting in chairs and no pool is visible. I think these may be from Drost's club (based on a vid I saw once). Did the two contests ever overlap in time? Drost had to move out of Indiana in 1986 because of a felony conviction, so after that all pics are NAP. Both clubs I understand are located in Roselawn.

See the pic below - babes in chairs - Naked City, not NAP?

thanks,

Sorry took me awhile to get back to you Klondike, I had a "small" computer glitch myself, power surge took out the processor, motherboard, and video card. LOL Been wanting to try out Vista anyway.... Would you believe the hard drive survived though?

My memory is failing as I age in years, but yeah Naked City's pageants did pre-date NAP, but not all of them. Some did happen during the same years. Naked City was also located in Roselawn. It moved out west in the mid 80's. (I'll take your word it was 86.)

I know Ponderosa opened in 1965, don't know when they held the first NAP, but once they started they haven't stopped them. Naked City and Ponderosa weren't the only clubs that held such events either, those magazines I mentioned in a earlier post had beauty pageant pictures in them also. I've saw scans of some of these years ago back in the newsgroups. Most of those pictures couldn't be posted here anyway. (age)

I've always tried to "place" each picture I've seen or collected myself. Later NAP pics are easy, the red and black contestant garters. Naked City used ballons for awhile. The pool at Ponderosa is rectangular, Naked City has a round "clubhouse," T-shaped Pool, heart shaped man made lake, and of course the Lady leg sundial if that helps you.

Naked City is now called Sun Aura Resort BTW.

To be honest I don't know. Last I heard of him, I haven't looked to hard either, there was a law suit filed against the State of Indiana, the county Naked City was in, and a bunch of people from the Roselawn, IN area for the legal problems he had when he lived there. (Something like 1 Billion from the State and 50 Million from the county.)

I believe he also had more legal problems at Naked City LA in 1990, charges very similar to the ones filed in Indiana. Don't know how that came out, but prior conviction.... You'd think retired would be a kind way of putting it. I prefer the way they say it on our local newspaper... "he was lodged in [insert prison name here] for X number of years."

Naked City LA is still listed in some club directories as active, in Homeland, CA, with Dick Drost as the owner. But who knows how often, (if ever) these lists are updated.
