‘Fat’ body painting does not make me as happy as it should, which is a shame as these images are amazing.
The leopard skin design came from a pack of charity cards from Mac and are amongst the most striking body painting images I have seen. The group of painted women were also featured on Mo’nique’s show, ‘Fat Chance.’
All bodies are beautiful, and I think this trend shows exactly that. I think the multi-colored group scene is one of the most striking images of body art I have seen.
