It's to represent the sea. There were 4 different shades used. It was a great morning in Hull!!

The theme was 'The sea of Hull', hence body paint in 'marine' type colours, although I'd be surprised if the sea was ever any of these tones at Hull! More likely to be a murky grey!

Hull Rocks!
 

Brave, blue souls.

More Blue Hullonians....
 

They are blue.

This is clearly a rip off of the Smurfs! :D

As I live near Hull, I signed up to do this, but was planning to go somewhere else afterwards, and didn't want to turn up blue all over (it was a naturist event)! So I changed my mind.

I'm sure the other naturists wouldn't have minded! Now if it was, say, a job interview or a meeting with your bank manager it might have been different.

No I'm sure that wouldn't have mattered, but I'd been told it would take several washings to get the paint off completely, so everyone I met this week would have seen it (including the new girlfriend who hasn't yet been told I'm a naturist).

Having had the privilege of being there and being one of the 3,200 participants i can say it was an amazing dayso much fun but yes the paint did take about 4 showers to come off lol

There's a new group of 100 women gathering in Ohio this weekend:
