Photographer Fails To Capture Entire Population Of Mexico Naked

Mad genius Spencer Tunick made history or something this past weekend when he photographed 18,000 people in the center of Mexico City—every single one of them naked as the day they were born. It'd probably count as some kind of record (and that's not even counting the naked Frida Kahlo event that followed the shoot) if anyone bothered to keep track of such things, but judging by the news photos that are now fanning out across the web, there seems to be a law of diminishing returns when it comes to gathering flesh in mass quantities. So many people in the shot makes it harder to see the naughty bits, which is probably why it's easier to get 18,000 people naked than one. On the other hand ... holy cow, that's a lot of naked people! Maybe one of these days we'll find a way to get ourselves into the middle of one these oceans of skin (there's always Amsterdam) and see what it's really like to be around all that flesh. Unfortunately, like most bloggers we're allergic to sunlight, so we'll just have to keep playing our current role of long-distance voyeur for now.
