Most people have heard of the classic tip and strip pen. It seemed like a fun thing to sell at Bare Oaks except that the popular version of the pen features people who look/pose like strippers.

But it has become a cliché to say that any activity you do on the internet can be done naked. So we’re joining the fun with the online version of the Bare Boutique. Shopping naked in the real store is much more pleasant but for those who live far away, this is a good alternative. www.BareBoutique.ca The fact is that there hasn’t been a Canadian retail option for naturist/nudist merchandise since the demise of The Nudist Store. So for those who live too far away fromRead More →
