The one thing I'll never understand about nudism, especially American nudism, is that every forum, magazine, and website devoted to nudism has supporters going on and on about how nudism is the idea that the appearance of the body is irrelevant, or has no social value, and that it is clothing that places value on appearance, yet they turn around and hold beauty pageants at all the nudist resorts. The European resorts hold pageants for young girls as well, reinforcing the idea that appearance does indeed have value for it's own sake. I just don't get the dichotomy.
