With the big game approaching, we thought we’d call your attention to a MAJOR reason why bodypaint flourished: football. Okay, so Playboy, soccer, beer, and Halloween contributed as well, but, hands down, the NFL is the most popular sport on Earth (shut up, soccer), and there ain’t nothin’ more popular than hot nude women. So, when cut-off jerseys, revealing tank tops, and pasties can’t do the trick. Here comes bodypaint to the rescue. See the pics after the jump!

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about costumes. Luckily, for chicks, they have it easy. While we spend a ton of money on clothes, hats, shoes, and accessories that’ll get chucked in the closet never to be seen again, women like the ones in this photo gallery just slather on a bunch of paint. Now, we’re not advocating you dudes do this, it’s for ladies only. But, next time a girl asks you what she should be for Halloween, you break out the paintbrush.

It’s that time of year again. The cold winds are blowing in, the sun is going down earlier, and the leaves are already starting to change. Why do we care? Because that means super-sexy Halloween costumes are right around the corner! To get you amped up for the hottest holiday America as to offer, here are over 120 pics of the most genius way to make a costume we can imagine: body paint!
