Mexican Nude Shoot: Another Latin Strip Show

I suppose most everyone has heard about the nude shoot in Mexico City. While I have no problem at all with nudity, it does seem a bit weird.

When I first saw the pic,it looked like Allah had suddenly snatched up the robes of the pilgrims in Mecca's central square.

Be that as it may, it is kind of cool. It is a new record for number of Spanish speaking exhibitionists gathered together in one place. Collective nudism seems to be a Latin thing. The prior record was set in Barcelona.

And at the bottom of the blog I have a banner for the "Running of the Nudes" in Pampalona this summer, an annual protest against Bullfighting.

That event is decidely un-Hemingway, but I do have to think a bit more civilized than getting pumped up to watch a few drunks get their stomachs eviscerated by some frightened cattle.

It is certainly much more aesthetic

Anyway on Sunday, 18,000 Mexicans stripped down to create a giant mosaic in Mexico City's Zocalo Square for photographer Spencer Tunick's shoot. There were only 8,000 in the Barcelona event.

I do hope everyone had a good time, but any number of things are a lot more fun to do in the buff.

For example, blogging.
