Provincetown gives nod to nudity on beach but not in nightclubs

You can get naked on the beach in Provincetown, but don't try it behind closed doors. Not nightclub doors, that is.

Town Meeting in this funky Cape Cod burg voted Thursday to confirm birthday-suit bathing rights on the town-owned strand known as Spaghetti Strip.

Nakedness on the remote beach actually was approved a year ago, but a dune-shack denizen objected and a judge agreed that a 1930 town bylaw made it a no-no to go au naturel alfresco. That law is now amended to say ``except in areas designated as clothing optional.''

``It all has to do with self-ownership,'' said Selectman David Atkinson, who has championed nude rights in P'town. ``I have a right to be free with nature.''

Meanwhile, the producers of ``Naked Boys Singing,'' an all-male, all-naked theater revue that played to packed houses at the Crown and Anchor last summer, are debating whether to defy the will of Town Meeting. Voters rejected a ``live nude entertainment'' exemption to its adult business zoning law, fearing it would open the door to wall-to-wall strip joints.

Co-producer Allen Gallant said the show's owners have to decide whether to pay daily fines as the cost of doing business. Town officials would need a court order to close the show and have been unwilling to risk a First Amendment fight.


It should be fun fishing the race this year.

The sad fact is that the people we'd like to take advantage of this little provision are not the ones who will......particularly up there.

Don't get your hopes up for a 25 year old supermodel.....it will more likely be a 56 year old with their 60 year old "life partner."

To quote Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that." ;)
