Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
My agent wants me to do the Nudes-A-Popin festival in Indiana this summer. He says it's a huge event and Ron Jeremy is hosting...blah blah. Has competed before or know any information about it?? All I know is it's a day long festival with lots of dancers from all over the country and there are lots of different categories and competitions. I guess prize money isn't all that great, but exposure to men's magazines is available. I am considering going but I don't know much about it. Just thought I would post because everyone here seems to have answers to everything! :D I was thinking of modeling for magazines....so that is my primary interest in attending.

I once rented a DVD called 'dreamgirls' which is similar to 'girls gone wild' but much edgier and nastier, and some of the segments were of the nudes-a poppin festivies. They just took a hand held cam to the festival and shot the girls nude. I can't recall which volume that was cause the 'dreamgirls' series has several videos.

Thanks for the site Prester John...i had used yahoo ut it proved fruitless....and guest, how nasty was the video, just curious.
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
If you want to get into men's magazine modeling, Nudes a Poppin' would probably be a great way to get exposure. It is one of the oldest and best known of the events where dancers from all over the country, but primarily the midwest, show their stuff. There will be photographers from many prominent men's magazines there, as well as several major video companies.
If you do go and compete, you will be seen on videos sold and rented to literally millions of guys across the nation, and if you look as good as your description of yourself would lead me to believe, they will all want to see a lot more of you...
But you won't get paid, unless you win one of the contests. Anyone can sell stuff shot at public events without paying the people they shoot, as a "documentary"--the Dreamgirls and Girls Gone Wild guys have gotten filthy rich doing just that. If they want to take you aside "just for a second" and shoot you outside at that event, they can sell that, too. By doing that to several dozen women you can make a hell of a tape to sell, in a couple hours.
At Nudes a Poppin' they have a large area where the dancers all move around a circuit of small stages, posing for hundreds of geeks with cameras who are kept largely behind fences, so they can't swarm around you, trying to stick their cameras in your orifices (you think I'm kidding, haha). The guys from the big companies get to shoot from inside the fences, having struck a deal with the promoters, I imagine. That's no guarantee that they aren't perverts, too, but most of the women enjoy the attention, in the tapes I have seen.
I have had a lot of experience with this whole process from when I was a Spring Break DJ (I can run one hell of a wet-T shirt contest, trust me). I got kind of sick of it and enjoy DJing in clubs much more. I even have a bunch of tapes I shot from then which I have often considered putting on the market, since it's better stuff than the vast majority of what I havce seen of this nature. Also shooting the video kinda got ruined by having all these camera geeks crowding around, pleading with the girls to let them stick their cameras in their orifices, etc.
Beware, too, that a lot of even the big, popular video companies who cover these events have gotten rich by doing all they can to shoot video privately, without paying the women. I know one guy who has shot a lot of the Girls Gone Wild video stuff who puts an ad in the paper every year around the time of special events in Daytona, saying he will pay big bucks for video shoots.
The first thing that happens is, the girl has to sign a release form the minute she walks in the door. Then he tells them he has to shoot an audition before he knows if he can use them, nude of course. It is critical, you see, that he knows how you will "handle yourself"and "react to the camera". Guess what, he can and will then sell that "audition" footage, without giving you a dime. Some of these swine even put out volumes of Audition videos, sold for 20$ a pop in thousands of stores.
A wannabe club entrepeneur I had dealings with once set off alarm bells in my mind by telling me that he had this devious little reject doing photoshoots of all the hot dancers they were going to have in their club. I was already leery of this (other) hustler, anyway, anyone with a name like "John-John" is not going to be running a classy place.
Sure enough, the scumbag later tried to shake me down and extort 3 grand from me by taking me outside with this shaggy, tattooed "enforcer" named "Stoney" (where do these guys get these names!) who supposedly was planning on f**king me up. John-John was just trying to "help" by telling me there was this problem, but he got called inside and Stoney couldn't get it straight, why I needed to match the 3 grand to save my ass, kneecaps, whatever. The plan fell through when I failed to pee my pants, so he didn't get it, of course. But here I go, getting off-topic again...
If you are hot, these companies WILL pay you to do more men's magazine type posing, and they will also try to talk you into doing more explicit work. Make sure get a fair price, whatever you do.!!
As far as what the atmosphere is otherwise like for the dancers competing, I haven't been there, but I have friends that go every year. I'll bet my left little finger you'll be able to party the whole time you are there, with some people who will offer you whatever you want, in more ways than one. That's not always a bad thing, if you have a good head on your shoulders (and know when to say when to what illicit substances), and it sounds like you do.
If you go have fun and knock 'em dead!!

Nudes-A-Poppin has sent in pictures to
, a site where anyone can post their pix. They showed contest pictures.
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
From everything I've heard about that contest, it's apparently THE one to win if you want exposure and credits. There are several categories and prizes, petite, legs, butt, etc etc. I'd say if you do that one and score a prize - even if you don't win but just place, it's good exposure and credit. Go for it!
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
I've done the magazines a lot. Infact, I am on the cover of the Hustler Busty April 2003 issue and I am centerfold of the year for Hustler Busty in 2000.
Nude's a Poppin is fun but there are better ways to get into magazines. If you want the names of professional photographers, that's the better route.

Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
Only two comments in regard to this and other contests.
#1 - this is a great opportunity to get media exposure, however you will not be paid for it. Furthermore, having pictures of yourself appear on websites, in videos etc. as a result of contest photographers actually will make it LESS likely that photographers for magazines will pick you up as a paid model (because you can't offer them an "exclusive" or a "premiere" since your pictures have already been published elsewhere).
#2 - the elbow rubbing opportunities for you at this contest can be very helpful in hooking you up with future paid modeling and video work ... PROVIDING that you're willing to give the photographers/editors/producers some "extra incentive" to choose you over another girl.
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
i seen a show abut it on REAL SEX one nite and i looked like a blast....even if all the contestants were competing in the rain.i think it's also a nude camp...called the PONDERSA SUN CLUB........AND YES RON JEREMY WAS THE EMCEE
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
Ya know. I would actually go this year if it were feasable. From the bits and pieces I've seen about it, it seems like a blast.
If anyone has gone in the past, or goes this year, please keep us in mind and give us a review of their experience. Too bad its in Indiana, of all places ;D
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
Been there ...done that many times. Since St Louis is fairly close ....I have been to nudes-a-poppin 6 times (with various dancers) and it is always a trip. Lots of cameras ...some major players in the adult Biz but mainly its a free show. Good exposure none the less. It was alot more professional a few years back but has become (just like Mardi-Gras and Sturgis) a haven for wanna be pimps and porn kings to look for freebies so watch WHO you get naked for in private.
You probably WONT get a Playboy or Penthouse contract here but there are smaller publications that you can get. It's really turned into a stripper convention which makes the PARTY/trip tax deductible.
Roselawn Indiana is the EPICENTER of nudity in the USA and has been for many Years ... Its just accepted there and thats WHY Indiana.
Re: Anyone familar with Nudes-A-Popin???
I may well be in the US at this time in July, and have considered going to be part of the male competition. [moon]Getting one of those titles would be good for the career I think, even though I don't live in the US. I asked about application forms to the site but did not hear back.
Any ideas anyone?
Also, what is the closest airport to the location and what kind of a connecting would I need to get there? ???
