Go naked or go home.
Or, more to the point, go naked and go home.
That's the gist of “Buying Naked,” a show on the TLC network that follows the exploits of Jackie Youngblood. She's a Tampa-based Realtor and self-styled expert in finding homes for 'clothing-optional' clients in the nudist communities of Pasco County. An eight-episode run of the show starts June 28. A highly watched pilot episode ran in November.
A TLC release for the show, produced by Paper Route Productions, the same entity that produces “Buying Alaska,” “Buying Hawaii” and “Buying the Bayou,” highlights what Youngblood does for clients.
“Finding a home for a nudist goes well-beyond the concerns that come with typical house hunting,” the network says in the release. “Jackie and her team must also bear in mind the hazards that are lurking for their clothing-optional clientele - everything from countertop height to sharp corners and flooring (rug burn hurts!). Routine tasks such as cooking, cleaning and even just walking can present safety risks for the unclothed occupants of the home.”
Pasco County has been in the nude spotlight before. Several towns and communities boast about its well-earned Nudist Capital of America moniker. That world collides with the clothed world in the premiere episode, according to the network, when Youngblood brings people from both to a “very hands-on networking event.” The debut show also follows a new associate for Youngblood and her efforts to sell a home to an “especially eclectic nudist pair.”
Youngblood's website, incidentally, is skiptheoutfit.com. Her motto: Skip the Outfit, Wear the Lifestyle.
