retro NAP - a few to start

[Klondike]

Its seems most of the world's known retro nudes-a-poppin pics are locked up over at Hooterhistorian.com. They have a staggering number of pics there, like 20,000 or so.

Otherwise, I don't have many that are not copyrighted. Some can be found here:

So I am posting what I've got and if someone out there has links or more pics, please add on to this. I will keep this thread alive as I find more myself. Some of the women in these pics are well known from vids of which I used to have qite a few. "Legendary" is a term I would use to describe some of these bods....

thanks!

the 80s were so great: Big Hair, tan lines, real tits, and bush!

NAP.. One of the few reasons I'm proud to be a Hoosier.

Great posts guys, brings back lots of memories. Retro nudes alone reminds me of my fathers stash of Nudist magazines I wish I would have held on to back in the day. The full bush gals, don't see that very often now. Sorta shows the evolution of the bikini.

Thanks again!

I have a question, what exactly is Nudes-A-Popin?
I know that it is held at a nudist resort, but the women participating... I have always thought that they were mainly strippers? Are they?
I know, kind of a silly question, but I am curious. Thanks to all the posters here, and to anyone who takes the time to answer this question.

The only NAPs I'm aware of are from more recent years, but yes, there are a lot of strippers participating in it. Lots of silicone.

I love seeing women with pubic hair. I don't like shaved pussies. Women should have hair down there, I think.

NAP or Nudes-A-Poppin is held in July every year at Ponderosa Sun Club, Nudist Resort, in Roselawn Indiana. (Just southeast of Chicago.)

While the event used to be mainly for it's members, (the first two years) it was and is still open to the public as guests and finally contestants. They started a "Naked Beauty pageant" to help raise money to keep the "Doors Open" so to speak. Over the years it's grown to be one of if not the Biggest Nude pageants in the US. They got the idea more or less from another club near them called Naked City. Ponderosa open the doors to the public for the event while Naked City and other clubs didn't.

The event didn't go over as planned. The "guests" were meant to be people interested in the life style, hoping they would look around and join. Turned out to be mostly voyeuristic type of guests. (Like most of us here. LOL) The Ponderosa members eventually refused to join the contest and the owners invited strippers and club owners to "staff" the events after that.

Although it didn't turn out the way they wanted, (In my opinion, allowing cameras at the event is what turned it into what it has become, but good for us!) it did work out for the REAL reason they started them. $$$$ I've read reports they clear $40,000 to $50,000 per day, two day event BTW.

Although Ponderosa has always been more or less a stand alone type nudist club, by continuing to hold NAP each year and for awhile they also held the Miss Nude USA and Mr. Nude USA pageants, they aren't really considered a very "nice" nudist club to belong to. Even though 363 days a year it is just a regular nudist resort. Most people hear Ponderosa Sun Club, they think of the other two days. And NAP is not a part of the Nudist/Naturalist lifestyle.

Ponderosa only allows cameras on the site during NAP, thus the pictures you see now. The contestants are strippers, porn actors, actresses and still amateurs. Very rarely do the members even attend let alone participate.

Thanks for the history. It got me thinking - I was aware of Naked City (Dick Drost's affair) but didn't realize it was held at a different club. I just assumed it predated NAP but was held at the Ponderosa

Sorry about the double post - mods may remove the one above. Computer glitch

Thanks for the history. I knew about Naked City but didn't realize it was held at a different club. I guess I always assumed it just predated NAP but was held at the Ponderosa Sun Club. So, I'm confused about my retro pics because maybe some are actually from Naked City, not NAP. It all depends on what the timeline was. Looking closely at my pics from Hooter Historians, some show babes sitting in chairs and no pool is visible. I think these may be from Drost's club (based on a vid I saw once). Did the two contests ever overlap in time? Drost had to move out of Indiana in 1986 because of a felony conviction, so after that all pics are NAP. Both clubs I understand are located in Roselawn.

See the pic below - babes in chairs - Naked City, not NAP?

thanks,
