[Avodah] Is Body Paint Halakhically Clothing?

[T613K at aol.com]

Right after I wrote that a picture of a person in body paint is OK but the  
actual person would not be, I read RMB's post:
 
 
 
 

>>The only reason why the video is of interest is that it taps  into
prurient thoughts. Intentionally causing these kinds of hirhurim  is
assur, regardless of whether deft camera placement avoids  actually
showing ervah. <<
 
I saw immediately that RMB was right and was surprised at myself for  not 
having realized something so obvious.  It could be that what is  prurient to 
a man might be merely amusing to a woman, so maybe women could watch  the 
safety video and then tell their husbands the safety instructions.
