Old Roselawn IN Contest Photos
Those contests started at Naked City in the early-to-mid 1970's. There was a video released on the 1976 Miss Nude America pageant, but it's been out of circulation for years. Naked City had a number of contests, but the three largest were Miss Nude World (late June), Miss Nude America (early August), and Lady Godiva (late August). When Ponderosa started having theirs a few years later, theirs were called Miss Nude galaxy and Miss Nude Universe (and Nudes-a-Poppin). One was held in July, and (I believe) the other was held in August. Contests were never held on the same weekend, as many participants and spectators came to both places. There have also been a number of videos released on Ponderosa contests, but one from the mid-1980's had Tim Allen doing narration.
I shot photos at many of the contests during the late 1970's and early 1980's, but age and poor storage have damaged many of them. Fortunately, PhotoShop can restore most of them, although it's a slow process. Different cameras were used, and some were shot on slides & Polaroids. I am going to start posting an assortment, here. Keep in mind that many of the participants were wives and girlfriends, who were coerced into participating by their husbands, boyfriends and (sometimes) drunken dares by each other. They are all old enough to have grown children and might be grandmothers, now! But they were all special to somebody, and a few were 'near and dear' to me. If there are lots of insulting remarks posted, I'll stop putting them on the board. Also, I may have a few mislabeled or out of sequence. It was a long time ago, and these were always big beer bashes.
I will break the into smaller postings, and the first are some from Miss Nude World 1977 at Naked City:
