Behold I have an answer which will satisfy all!!! I on my next trip will volunteer to paint on a bikini top on any woman who wants to let the girls be free yet have the illusion of bare chestedness! If you are worried about tan lines I will also apply a faky tan in the evenings! there that should do it!
Backs..... thanks for the uh.... back up... *L* you just expanded perfectly on my points. If we want TR to be the same fun, friendly and bikini top free place that it's always been then we need to be willing to help the person next to us. There's always going to be the newbie that doesn't know the rules and or needs help. We are the ones that can provide that help. wow... that really comes out sounding all tree huggerish but oh well.
Thank you and very well said and yes we would have anyone's back that is being harassed by a pervert. Maybe we are a bit naive, we just haven't seen or been aware of any of this negative behavior, other than what we have read on this thread. This was our 4th time at Temptations and we had no idea, an so in our defence we felt people were going over board. (camera police, pushing people in the pool) We have always thought of Temptations as a free spirted place. Good times had by all. But I guess, not so much.
Jeff&Deb I really think temptations is a free spirited place and good times had by all, I think if you take the ratio of complaints about this topic versus the great trip reports you would see what Rob(diamondheaded) and I mentioned earlier, a bad occurance like this happens so rarely that its not worth worrying about going into your vacation, but I would be nieve to tell you that it doesnt happen...so its really just advice, like dont drink the water or dont go in certain areas of the city...keep it in the back of your mind , but by no means wake up everyday looking out for a the pervert with the zoom lens lol.
I am probably going to get a lot of flack for this....since I don't have a picture up, know that I am a 30 something year of female......my hubby and I are going to TTR for the first time in June. The only issue I see with the cameras is if someone comes right up to you and takes the picture....that is just rude. As far as other vacationers being topless and pictures showing up on the internet.....hello, you are topless in front of strangers at TTR...what is the big deal if it is on the internet? It is just skin....and you probably are not doing anything that would jeopardize your career or livelihood anyway. I am just saying, if we are going to TTR, we are all pretty open minded....so what if you are in the background of someones picture and you don't have your top on.....? I was really hoping to take pictures to show other people what TTR is like and maybe they would like to vacation there.....I mean of the silly games or whatever. I would never go up to anyone and just take a close up of them...but if I am on stage duing one of the games, I want my husband to be able to take a picture of me and not have to worry about getting the topless girl next to me all pissed off.
It would be nice if it didn't matter but the reality is there are people who judge others for what they do. Hell there are parts of the world where women can't show their face let alone go around topless. There was a case in the US last year that I heard about where a teacher was fired because some student found nude pictures of them on the internet. Should it matter? NO... Can it come back to bite some people in the a$$? for sure.
Pictures like this I do not see posing a problem. Pics are discrete or only contain one person MalibuStrings.com Bikini Competition | Christen - Gallery 1 Pics like these that contain multiple people who may or may not want their picture taken is not cool MalibuStrings.com Bikini Competition | Kimmy - Gallery 3
This is what I'm worried about, I'm planning a trip for December of this year but the camera situation is really making me rethink my decision to possibly book a stay at Temptation. Hell a few months back a local school system fired a teacher because there was a pic of her on her facebook page drinking a beer.
