Nine models have smashed a world record by painting their naked bodies to celebrate the upcoming Olympic Games.
The group of women — each of whom were contestants in the Brazilian Miss BumBum 2021 competition — took the task very seriously, spending 129 hours decorating their bodies.
Using the Olympic Games as artistic inspiration, they painted their bodies with the colors of the Brazilian flag as well as the tournament’s iconic five ring symbols.

Among the Miss BumBum contestants to go nude were this year’s winner and Playboy model Lunna LeBlanc — who recently set tongues wagging by sending the Pope a copy of her Playboy cover to thank him for his blessings.
Lunna was painted with what looks at first glance like a revealing cocktail dress that’s completely open on one side.
Playboy model Vanusa Freitas also posted for the project, and was painted by body paint artist Madison Araujo, who rendered the Olympic rings on Vanusa’s backside and a flag across her front, which looks like fabric draped over her body.

The Olympic Games will begin on July 23 this year and is being hosted by Tokyo.
In March, several of the contestants begged for coronavirus vaccines by drawing attention to their bums.
With COVID-19 units at or above 80 per cent capacity in in all but two of Brazil’s 27 states at the time, the women drew stamp outlines on their butt cheeks with the words ‘vaccinate here’ written underneath.
‘We want our vaccine in the butt … we want everyone to be vaccinated,’ said one contestant, according to TMZ.
