I didn't get a call about this! 20,000 naked? I need to do some math...
20,000 / percentage possibly women / percentage I'd want to see naked = approx. 3,800 slaps in the face for gawking.

women dropped their clothes in neat piles early Sunday and pranced naked around the main plaza...

I saw this on TV and dang there were a lot of people...but they really need to work on their tans. There's a lot of cheeks in Mexico City that rarely get to see the light of day, I reckon!

Maybe this is the effect of global warming.

I have the DVD of Tunick's documentary about these mass photo-ops of his. It's called "Naked Sttes" and it's well worth seeing.
