full nudity at a body painting expo/contest

[Klondike]

Buried deep within Osreb's "babes wearing paint" thread is an auspicious post which I doubt many have seen. It is from the "eight international China Ceramics Expo", and the nudity appears to have been a one time event. But not only that, it seems to be rare that body painted girls at an expo/competition/contest get up there on stage fully nude. Remember, we're not talking about Fantasy Fest, NAP, Fremont etc or adult expos. We are talking about professional body painting expos and contests and in this case, a non porn industry exposition hosted by the ceramics industry. So, I got to wondering how often does full nudity occur at these types of events. They are held all over the world. One of the drawbacks in searching is I don't know all the different ways "body painting" is translated. But in all the pics I've downloaded from these type of events, full nudity is very rare and may becoming rarer. Once again, I'm talking mainly about professional body painting events showcasing the work of professional artists. Or, in the case below, a professional expo just looking to entertain attendees somehow?

I just stumbled across these and some others (copyrighted) today while surfing the net, having never seen them in 2009 when Flanker7 first posted them. This is one of the drawbacks of megathreads, and that is why I am puling them out again for you all to see. And I will add more pics to this thread if they are on topic as I find them. I don't know a lot about these events, but in most cases some sort of judging/awarding of prizes etc goes on. And seldom as I said, do the women appear totally nude. I'll see if I can find any more.

here is a link to Flanker7's and nudieman's posts:

I highly recommend checking out this link. There is other stuff there as well.

more. As you can see, this is not professional bodypainting here and from the looks of things, this was just some guys idea to drum up interest at a professional expo. The pro body painting events on the other hand appear to generally require some sort of skimpy bottom for the girls which then gets painted over. This attire appears in pics from all over the world. I could but loads of these up but mainly I'm interested in full nudity if there is any.

BTW - these pics were taken in 2008.

I'd say it's infrequent though not unheard of; remember the guy in NYC had a lot of hassles (and I believe had a model arrested) until a compromise was worked out for allowing him to work but only at certain times in the evening. The first two here are from an actual competition, the third from just a general event (no prizes as far as I could tell), with more pictures at https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...&postcount=756 . Another place for body-painted women (but only sometimes sans panties) is car shows: for some of those, see https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...3&postcount=12 and a couple posts thereafter. How loose do you imagine criteria for this thread (e.g. must there be competition, or just exhibition)?

I was planning on posting those black and whites but wasn't sure of the story. The others were mostly new to me. Wish I had a beeper for every time you post

Anyway, those are good. the car show models are sort of related but not quite what I had in mind. Thats OK - I'm not complaining. Another off-shoot criteria wise would be the events that stray a little more into alt/kinky/fetish etc territory. FOr example, the alt fashion shows (see below). This is where models may be wearing paint in addition to fashion clothing. As for what to post, its kind of a question of "What is up in other threads". Meanwhile, I'm not coming up with much myself. Better, international search terms would help.

but I think that what is outstanding and unique about the chinese convention pics is that its not only fully nude, but multi-model. I'm really having a hard time finding anything else like it in my collection, so that is why I thought it deserved a little more exposure. Going in that direction (trade shows and conventions) you have things like Defcon, dragon con etc where models can be found topless or scantily clad. It doesn't go any farther than that though. Or the famous Toshi Parties where multiple models are painted, but all topless. No judging goes on here either. And please, lets leave out neptune day, etc and other naturist pageants where models are painted and judged, but its not a professional painting event! i.e. they are not being judged on the artistic merit of their paint jobs! The judging part though is not a requirement here as the chinese ladies weren't judged. What does seem to be a requirement though is the professional/trade nature of the event i.e. as opposed to porn industry/naturist/fetish/strip club/etc

Oh, and Crispus - I don't know what to do about Andy Golub (times square body painter), but since I do have a thread up for him already, it would be redundant to post him here.

a couple more from Russia. I don't know the nature/sponsorship of the event but its not pro body painting. Klondike

[Klondike]

more of the black and whites. it might be possible to trace these back to Flickr. Klondike

And then there is this old series which i have always liked. This is sort of in the Andy Golub realm - i.e. certainly public, possibly a model who is paid, but not a large, organized trade or body painting event. Lets see if anyone remembers the story behind these.


so what do we have so far? NO pics from professional body painting contests where the artwork is judged.

here is an intriguing pic. I don't know anything about it except that it is from Russia. Yes we have body paint, full nudity, multiple babes - the only thing missing is definitive proof that it is public!

ah ha! two more pics and it is public and does look like a convention of sorts. Hope not porn industry..

this is the closest thing I've found to the Chinese convention pics.
