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.

I have not heard about Dick Drost in years, last i knew he had a resort in Hemet California, in the high desert called NCLA, and i heard his health was not good, not sure if he is still alive, just curious
