If you liked that glimpse, you might enjoy a closer view in Klondike's "Fremont1863" from earlier in the thread, not to mention this one, from the big (in both senses) set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/evoraph...7620415903768/ featuring many favorites...

as there are many different colored riders in many of the pics .... and then there are the multi - colored ' riders themselves ... would you categorize that particular rider by the dominant primary color of the rider ?

Ah , * confusion reigns * ( for me anyways ) ...

i think I'll take a break from this pondering and post some pics -

All is not hopeless, Fred. Its really very simple. First - yes, I am chopping up pics to focus on individual riders. No law against that...

Second, my breakdown goes like this:

minimal riders - unpainted or minimally painted (lots of bare skin, ideally distributed evenly over the entire body, but not always).

green riders
red/orange riders
blue riders
purple riders
gold/silver riders (hear that, Pedro - gold is the one you posted)
yellow riders
white riders
black/brown riders

in each of the above cases, those colors predominate and there is not much exposed bare skin.

then we have two additional categories:

multi-colored riders - sort of a catch all where no one color predominates and the paint job does not fall into the next and final category, which is:

clothed/costumed riders - where the paint job is made to resemble clothing or a costume of some sort (i.e. mermaid, viking, tuxedo, skeleton, caveman, etc)

there, thats all there is to it. And yes, I detected a hint of sarcasm/bemusement from you regarding my obsessiveness. Thats OK. I am OK with that. Honest....

This flickr user (Anthonys Photography) has a fantastic collection from 2008, and I had been sitting on his photostream link for a while, waiting for him to post the full parade set before I alerted everyone to it ... but you beat me to it ! If 2008 (over 1,800 pics of the parade) is anything to go by, I think he will be posting a heap more pics in the coming days.

I think he could be used as a reference set perhaps? Time will tell.

Good job crispus.

The fully nude blue riders were an exciting group. Five occured together in what has got to be one of the more memorable orgies of skin in parade memory. I'm still upset that I didn't really capture them. also, we had three blue nudes among the Rainbow Riders, and two in another group of three.

In my collectors set, I have two pics of blue babes where it is impossible to tell if they are fully nude. i need better pics. Otherwise, below are my fully nude blue riders.

everybody has a favorites and she's mine

sal32: I'm still working my way back so haven't been able to confirm it's not repost; sorry if so...

[Klondike]

next up - the rest of the fully nude colored riders.

black/brown - not included is the mud colored walker. Walkers are a separate category. The dark brown girl in pic 5 was elusive and I'm not entirely sure she was fully nude. Also note - there were some babes wearing black costume paint jobs. That category is coming up in another post.

white - the first girl is also fugitive and this pic was so small I couldn't be sure she was fully nude.

yellow - only two yellow riders went fully nude. The second one i took lots of pics of, but unfortunately many
were curiously out of focus.

purple - includes two "Rainbow Riders" and a very cute brunette

gold/silver - includes some hot, well known and well photographed riders. I have lots of pics of babe no 1, 2 and 4 which i have not published.

Sal - i didn't see this request until Crispus reposted it.

I will look for pics. i may have a couple, but i don't think any are great.

as of now, I have 64 fully nude riders in my colored rider categories, and 40 in my "minimal" rider category (not 36 as previously posted).

Two more rider categories to go, then some misc stuff (spectators, walkers, roller bladers and "kinky costumes")

So thats 104 fully nude and I expect to add another 40 or 50.

And I'm sure you guys can find more girls I haven't seen yet.....

And then, MAYBE I'll move on to the topless only riders, posting them in the same way....

EDIT: nix two riders in my last post. The last rider in the gold/silver category, and the second to the last rider in the black/brown category. Both these are duplicates.

Your dedication to the cause astounds me. This parade gets me through the winter here in NZ, and I appreciate the effort that you put in to accurately document it. You sure are thorough.

Cheers Klondike

OK, I have a request. This girl had a friend painted the same way, but I can't find a decent pic of her. anyone?

When I get one, I can post my fully nude clothed/costumed riders (39 in all).

thanks, Klondike
