Chapter 26: The New Way

For the last fourteen months Vanessa, Max and Tracey had been on the campaign trail to have Pahrump registered as being Totally Nudity Friendly. They had garnered the support of many friends and allies but still the city leaders resisted the move. Then all of a sudden it all changed when they managed to vote in a new mayor who was of the opposite persuasion to the outgoing mayor. Within one month he had drafted a new city plan and dubbed it THE NEW WAY. He had put a date on the implementation of The New Way and that date was today. From today Pahrump had official Totally Nudity Friendly status and the full support of this new mayor - but not so the rest of the town!

Many people in the township of Pahrump had openly stated that they would take no part in this New Way nonsense which meant anyone daring to go nude in public still had to be a very brave soul indeed. Even though that person would be free from all fear of prosecution both locally and federally the ‘social prosecution’ would be something else again. That is why what young Janine Carlyle was about to do right now was a really and truly brave thing to do indeed.

Janine Carlyle’s mother had been one of the very first friends that Vanessa Benson had made when she had first arrived in Pahrump. Vanessa met the woman as one of the checkout operators at the local supermarket. Mrs Carlyle introduced herself as Penny and the two had become fast friends ever since.

Penny Carlyle herself, as it turned out, was also a very strong believer in social nudism and was a regular patron, along with her daughter Janine, of a very large nudist resort just out of Pahrump. This nudist resort had only just opened up three years ago but had grown in leaps and bounds beyond all expectations. Needless to say everyone involved in that resort was right behind the push to have Pahrump go Totally Nudity Friendly. They would then be able to stay naked both inside and outside the resort while within the township’s protective borders.

It was Penny Carlyle’s very positive affirmation and encouragement of her daughter’s desire to go nude in public on this very first day of The New Way that saw Janine now standing before her classmates and about to take all of her clothes off. It had actually been Janine’s idea all along. Janine just loved it out at the nudist resort and longed for the day when she would be able to freely go to school in the nude too. However, when the day finally came when she could finally go to school totally naked she chickened out completely. Even days before this particular Monday morning saw Janine resolutely refusing to go to school naked as she knew she would probably be the only one doing so. Being naked with hundreds of other naked people out at the nudist resort was one thing. Being the one and only naked person at school was something else again.

It also appeared that despite everyone’s brave campaigning not one of those campaigners really wanted to be the first naked person to grace the streets of Pahrump to the disapproving stares of all those on the ‘other side of the camp’. Janine’s mother was aware of all these things and had really poured on some strong encouragement to re-ignite Janine’s innate desire to go nude in public. Penny Carlyle also knew that it would do something truly amazing for her daughter’s self esteem and level’s of confidence to know that she had conquered her fears to become Pahrump’s truly first person to engage in The New Way and go nude in public.

Vanessa Benson also knew all this as she now waited for this very pretty, young girl to start taking her clothes off for the morning’s Show and Tell session. Vanessa herself was looking forward to going nude in public again as she had done for four years at Blanke Schande College. However, she too wanted Penny’s daughter to experience that euphoric pleasure of being the first person to achieve something ahead of everyone else. Vanessa’s mind was recounting her own euphoria when she conquered The Matterhorn at Blanke Schande College ahead of all her other female classmates - and that was on her very first day there and just after her very first class. It was such a magical moment and she now wanted Janine Carlyle to experience something of that pleasure too. This is why Vanessa still had all her clothes on but that would change once Janine had taken all hers off. Once Janine had conquered this her own ‘Matterhorn’ then Vanessa would follow suit and become the second person in town to engage in The New Way!
