Spanish Club Introduces Zero Tolerance Dress Code

Promoters at Catalan disco Allen Roc are launching a nudist event this weekend (Sunday September 19) at which only fully naked clubbers will be allowed in.

"It will be a place to have a drink, dance, listen to music, chat to friends or meet new people," a local naturist site explained. "We will be able to enjoy going nude and, always with respect and naturalness, the company of other naturists."

Nobody from the club would confirm either their music policy or whether DJs will be spinning in the nude, the Guardian reported this week, though they've certainly not booked one of London's best known naked DJs, The Ting, who regularly takes her clothes off at clubs in the capital.

"I do it because quite frankly I think clothes are a waste of time," Ting told Skrufff.

"Clothes should be worn if you're cold not hot, so when I'm in a club DJing and hot, with sweat pouring off me and I've got fucking clothes getting in the way; what's the easiest solution- - get rid of them," she declared.

However, the Twist/ Torture Garden resident said she's often forced to spin topless father than full naked due to prudish promoters and security staff.

"I played completely naked at the Purple Turtle in Camden and nearly killed myself a while ago," she revealed.

"The bouncer came over to me because I happened to be on top of the bar at the time and said 'we don't have an exotic dancer's license' and I said 'that's OK, I'm not an exotic dancer'. He tried to get me down, I tried to run away from him, banged into something and nearly knocked myself unconscious," said Ting.
