Forget hippies.
I think mods had all the fun there was too have in that fleeting and gloriously ridiculous time known as the 1960's. People really were willing to try anything, observe:
I mean I had certainly heard of 'Paper' dresses (actually a plastic cloth called Tyvek) both vintage and modern, but body paint from Coty of all companies? The 60's really was a different time. Nowadays when you think of bodypaint on adults it tends to conjure up images of naff painted breasts (ooh look it's a face-ugh) at outdoor music festivals and perhaps even fetish parties (I'm guessing at that last one). Hard to imagine walking into a drugstore and buying this in a paint can right next to the Coty boxed perfume sets.Then rolling it onto your legs like a pair of tights or along your forearms like DIY opera gloves. Especially in that Betsey Johnson dress pictured above (one only hopes that was washable paint!).

My Mum was a mod and has tonnes of old fashion mags from the 60s to 80s which I've nicked. I actually have one with that Coty ad in! It's so cool, I always liked the idea. And yes i completely agree that it's a lot more fun and interesting than the body paint we're used to these days. You know i might just give this a go in summer!
thanks for the comment! everything was so much more interesting back then. I wish it was that way now. today clothing is boring. clothes have no life, they are just t shirts with the word holister written all over it. i am so bothered i was not born in the 60s!

new post!
My mind is blown by the body paint! It seems toxic--am I being paranoid? But amazing! I want to paint socks on now (or in the summer I mean). xx
This looks awesome.. I totally agree with Paolina. =D I wish I have witnessed the fun clothing style of the 60's.

It seems to me it is good idea. I agree with you.
The author is really cool. But some of the commentators are just posting stupid words.
Wow, I love these… thanks for sharing
