Whattup how are we today? I have my sorority spring formal tonight which is basically another way of saying I’m taking pictures in a maxi dress on the beach tonight. There’s another party I want to hit too, but we’ll see how successful I am. I’m usually quite pooped after a long day of sharing the best things to do in Chicago. 

Speaking of which, this event sounds pretty rad.

It may be morbid curiosity, but I’ve always wanted to sunbathe on a nude beach. Turns out, I don’t have to travel very far to achieve this. There is a shockingly wide variety of nudist resorts near Chicago. Read more about them here!
