Topless but Painted

And I interrupt the postings about Vitaya magazine for something completely different, as Monty Python would have said. Public nudity in Taiwan has suddenly become an issue because of a fashion show.
Taiwan stages a national sports "olympics" in a different city each year, and this time they selected the country's third city, Taichung, as host and a fashion show to promote the event. However, instead of having athletes parade the new clothes at the promotional news conference, they had a young woman with the top of her body painted like an athlete's blue outfit. What many people at first did not notice, was that the woman was actually topless, though she might have worn small 'covers' on her nipples.
As soon as this hit the news, there were shocked statements saying it was totally unsuitable to have such a 'show' at a national sports event. The young woman however, apparently a student at a sports college, looked very happy and natural about it. During the event, she also posed as a golf and tennis player, making the right moves with the golf club and the tennis racket.
Taichung's deputy mayor, who spent most of the event standing next to her, later told reporters that he did not even realize she was topless - which is perhaps the main evidence that she shouldn't have shocked anyone.
The organizers argued that if she had worn the clothing, she would not have been able to show off the positive impact of sports on the body, which was the main aim of the event.
I saw the footage on Taiwanese TV, with the 'mosaic' or pixillation in place, and I must say there is nothing shocking about that young woman. She looked beautiful and natural. Just like nudity should.
