I picture your girlfriend running off with a Dick Drost-like character. I can't imagine such an affair lasting too long.....unless the girl was both destitute and an exhibitionist......

cheers,

Yeah, was my last year in college, graduated in 1984, and I moved from Indiana to Virginia in Dec of 84. She broke up with me in 84. (High school sweetheart, first real girlfriend, kinda hard to forget. LOL)

Yeah I suppose blackmail material or revenge, but I'm not that kind of guy. She ended up getting married to the guy, divorced in less than a year or two. He was older, late 20's at the time. She was sorta messed up back then, we reconnected years later. More or less forgave her for everything that happened, and trust me, this isn't the whole story of course, just a part of it. But over the years, I'm still learning what all was really going on. So when I saw NAP 84, just smiled, took a deep breath and looked. Actually glad I didn't see pictures of her.

Although when this one came up: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/atta...4&d=1204858185
I had to take a second look. (Blonde on right.) So glad he included the face shot. Her body looked alot like that back then.

You seem to be a good archivest of all things naked

Our most "retro" pictures are only about 7 years old so we have some catching up to do

I should be able to join this post in about 10 years ... see you in July

No question about it, HD is a pictorial historian extraordinaire. Great original photos. Thanks, HD.

MAN, I miss the 80's! lol

Well, Klondike has a thread on obscure festivals and directed me to this old tread. I have hundreds, ok maybe a thousand or so 35mm slides from the late 70s and 80s shows at both Ponderosa, (NAP) and Naked City. It isn't real easy to convert the slides to digital, but I have about 300 or so that I have converted. I use to attend both shows , "back in the day" but haven't been to a Nudes-a-Poppin' show since 2005. I didn't pay much attention to the 'Stars" of the show in the 2000s, as most if not all, were strippers from clubs around the Country, most with silicone titties, which is ok if you like that sort of thing, but in the recent years I spent 95% of my time, and pictures on the people attending the show, which, quite frankly is where the real people show is.
The easiest way to tell the difference between photos from the NAP show, at Ponderosa, and the Naked City show is, the NAP show is always around the pool, and the contestants would be on the stage and walk around the pool to little elevated platforms in a large circle. At Naked City, the contestants were on a concrete area, no pool, and always had chairs to sit on in a large circle. Also, any photo that has the glass round building in the background is at Naked City. That glass building is still there, and is still used by the current Sun Aura Club. Anyway, heres a few photos from the 1979 Nudes a poppin show. More if wanted, both NAP and Naked City

OUTSTANDING!!

IN my humble opinion, you are in the possession of a literal gold mine of pics. Seriously, i mean this is collectors stuff and worth it to some to pay for. So far, what you've posted is awesome. I would love to see everything you have. OUtside of hooter historians collection (which you do have to pay for), there really aren't that many retro NAP pics out there.

So how can I say it - this is a significant collection of pics. We would be honored to have you post them here.
You will note that HDTour posted some original pics of his own on a previous page. I went ga ga over those too, and it appears yours are significantly better in quality and greater in number.

So pease continue to post and if you don't hear back from me right away, its because I may be away from my computer until Mon or Tues.

thanks again, jbellen. I knew there was a reason why I got up at 5:30 AM to log in to OCC. Sixth sense....?

Glad you like them, Klondike. Here's a few from the 1980 NAP Show. BTW, the Blond girl in the first pix won that day, went by the name Chiffon, if memory serves. Bet shes still a good looking woman even today. Back then it cost $15 to get in for the third Sunday in July show. Guess I should dig out the rest of those slides, sort them and try to digitize them too, and I might do that someday(s). Anyway, hope you all enjoy these

[Klondike]

I could not have enough of these - certainly a thousand would not be too many..

These are absolutely wonderful in every way. The crops are outstanding and that adds even more collectors appeal as well as artistic merit to these photos. Are you a professional photographer?

PLease don't go anywhere in the next 72 hours. Don't skip town, die of a heart attack, or change your name. Expect a pm from me at some point, as i fear an earthquake or stock market crash may stop you from posting more of your pics here.

I'll have you know I was a Hooters Historian member years ago, have thousands of their classic NAP pics, and can tell you these are every bit as desirable.

Once again, a huge thanks and I congratulate you talent as a photographer, jbellen
