Nudists in Mexico: How a Gringo Can Cope

The largest coping issues are not really with Mexico and her people. It is with other gringos. I certainly was not prepared for what awaited us in Mexico in the form of other American expatriates. Here is a column I wrote that illustrates this rather nicely:

A couple of years ago, we met with this lady from the States. She and her husband have retired here. She is a nice woman, although a little over top when she talks, but is generally tolerable. We know nothing about her husband. Anyway, through another expat friend, we learned that this woman and her husband are:

N...U...D...I...S...T...S !!

They not only run around NEDKID but are part of some International group--they are officers (Where do they put their officer's badges???) and they actively, notice that word--actively, recruit members into their NEDKIDESS CLUB. Can you imagine their pitch,

"Come and show off your no-no's to other members!"

Well, we are not close to these people. We still have never met her husband. We dubbed her "Gliitter-Faced, Nudist-Woman" because she, much like young teenaged girlies, puts on this glittery makeup. She wrote my wife and asked for us to "come over and see the new house" (yeah, right...) and meet "Glitter Faced Nudist Man".

I have seen Glitter-faced, Nudist-Man, and let me tell you, I would swoon in shock if I saw him Naked. He is a little "round", if you know what I mean and I think you do, and would most certainly have pendulous man-boobies that would swing like the pendulum on a clock.

NO THANK YOU!!

So, we think this is a recruitment drive of some sort. They even have NUDIST business cards that they hand out with their NUDIE picture on it. CAN YOU BEGIN TO FATHOM THIS??? Can you begin to imagine that they think they look so good so as to have business cards made up of their NEDKID VISAGE and then, for emphasis I say again--AND THEN--pass them out to people?

I cannot even start to wrap my mind around these two loonies much less that they are going to begin a local Guanajuato chapter of:

"NEDKID R US", or "I'll show you mine if you show me yours".

How do we get out of this?

How do we avoid them in this town?

How do we politely tell them that getting NEDKID is not what we signed up for when we expatriated?}

Do we run screaming if we go over there and they answer the door with nothing on but a smile?

How do we have them arrested?

Anyway...I thought I would share.
