Thanks for the review. It seems me that while a campground full of nude women is never a bad thing, at this point we're well past the heyday of this event. From what I can tell from the videos of years past (and even through the mid 2000's and up to 2009 or so) the majority of the contestants were "club girls"--just regular strippers who were brought in to represent their club. As a result, there were a lot of new girls every year, many of whom were relatively inexperienced and just there to have fun. I recall seeing a lot of interviews with girls who were brand new to stripping, or worked in topless clubs and had never been nude in public before, and in a couple cases there were club waitresses that came along for the weekend to party and ended up getting naked and competing anyway. You could actually see some awkwardness and shyness among some of the girls, or you could tell what a huge thrill they were getting out of performing naked outdoors in front of thousands of people. Whatever the case, whole thing had a much more spontaneous and authentic feel to it--like a big naked party that you got to look in on.

Now we're seeing fewer girls, mostly all touring professionals and/or "web models," and it's mostly the same group from year to year. The whole thing feels a lot more staged, and it seems like we're not getting any real interaction with the girls. It's just a professional model photoshoot, which is all well and good, but as someone who has (obsessively) tracked down pictures and videos from this event for 20 years or so, it's just not as exciting anymore to me.
