My first blog here

Hi,

My name is Dario Western and this is my first blog on this site. I was referred to it by my friend Tony Robertson, a prominent Brisbane artist, lifestyle activist and consultant.

Some background information on me: I am 36 years young, Capricorn, born in Manchester but emigrated to Brisbane when I was 11. I went to school at Holy Cross and Padua College, both Catholic schools, but have since turned away from Catholicism to become a Liberated Christian.

My favourite music includes The Beatles, Sparks, Queen, U2, Suzi Quatro, Kylie Minogue, The Rolling Stones, as well as Brisbane rock and pop legends like Savage Garden, Powderfinger, Regurgitator, george, The Busymen, The DangerMen, The Credit Union, The Hymies, The Nudists (R.I.P)

I'm not mad keen on tv shows or movies, but I like anything that is underground, bizarre or bad taste. I do like the new season of Dr. Who, with David Tennant being my favourite Doctor and Rose Tyler my favourite companion. I am the moderator of a Dr. Who group for Brisbane fans along with a guy I used to live next door to when I first moved to Australia whom I met again in nearly 20 years!

I'm also a passionate nudist and naturist, and have enjoyed many forms of nude recreation including nude photography, campaigning for legal nudist beaches in Queensland and attending various nudist clubs and swims. I've been into this lifestyle since 1990 and made a number of friends (and enemies!!) out of it. Whilst I wish society had a more forgiving attitude to nakedness in the main, I do not advocate nudism for every human being. Indeed my own experiences have drawn me to the conclusion that there are some people in the nudist movement who should NOT be practicing it at all. I won't mention who they are in case I get sued!

Anyway, that's it for now. You're welcome to leave your comments on here if you so wish.
