Nudes-A-Poppin (abbreviated NAP) is an annual pageant[1] in the United States for nude males and females competing in erotic dance. It is the most well-known nude event in Indiana.[2] The pageant has been held annually since it was started in the mid-1970s.[3] The event is organized by Ponderosa Sun Club, a family nudist resort[4] situated in Roselawn, Indiana,[5] and serves as a fund-raiser for the resort.[6] The resort is closed to its members during the pageant, and the one-day event tickets can only be purchased separately.[7] Up to 2003 there was one event in July and another in August, but from 2004 this was reduced to one weekend in July.[6]
Events
There are a number of events held at Nudes-A-Poppin', such as the amateur wet T-shirt contest, sexiest pole dance competition and naked oil wrestling.[6] Various trophies with titles such as "Miss Nude Galaxy", "Miss Nude Go-Go", "Miss Nude Up & Comer", "Miss Nude Rising Star", "Miss Nude Showstopper" etc. are awarded to the contestants at the event.[8] Lou Harry, writing in the cultural magazine Indianapolis Monthly, noted that the participants are prohibited from having sexual contact with another person attending the event or performing explicitly. Most of the contestants are women, although there are male entertainers who participate in the event. The spectators consist mostly of men, but women also attend.[9]
Attendees
Local porn stars, strippers, and nudists participate in the event,[3][5] attracting thousands of spectators each year.[5] The official website of the event states "no clothes are tolerated at the pool."[1] Nudes-A-Poppin' has been hosted by well-known personalities such as pornographic film actor Ron Jeremy,[5] Home Improvement star Tim Allen, The Munsters star Al Lewis, and John Wayne Bobbitt.[9]
