<DIV>To respond to R' Ken Bloom's question whether body paint would be
considered as watching ervah, you might find of interest the analysis of ervah
through glass found on p. 6 of Piskei Teshuvah (by R' Avraham
Peterchowski). In particular, he cites Yoma 35b in reference to transparent
clothes which he understands 'min hadin kasher haya l'bigdei
kehuna'. Rav Ovadia Yosef also addresses this question of ervah
through glass/television in Yechave Da'at 4:6 where I believe one could
extrapolate that in the case being discussed, it would not be considered as
ervah. </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
