>>Air  New Zealand's new safety video features - aside from some
delightfully  light-hearted and endearing humor - the flight attendants
and pilot wearing  nothing but body paint. (Their body parts are
covered by deft placement of  clipboards and skillful camera work.)

Off-list, R' Ken Bloom asked,  "Halachically, are you still watching
erva if it's painted like clothes?"  <<

A /picture/ of a person wearing only body paint  and holding strategically 
placed clipboards is probably OK (it seems to me)  but looking at an 
/actual/ person so attired would be a definite no no.  A  video is not a person but 
a picture of a person.
