Three Models Is The First Time Body Painting Models

Three Models Is The First Time Body Painting Models
Three models will be appearing today and tomorrow as part of the A La Naturelle fashion event at the 78th Royal New Zealand Show at Canterbury Agricultural Park.

First time body-paint models Casey Reddington, 17, (dressed as a vegetable patch) and Natalie Wolfsdorf, 20, (dressed as an equestrian) said they were excited to bare all for the waiting crowds.

Wolfsdorf, from Los Angeles, who is a model and studying mass communications at Canterbury University, said she was slightly nervous, whilst Reddington said she was fighting the urge to cover her chest with her hands.

Leada Elphick, 18, who has modelled in body paint before, was "dressed'' as a cabbage tree.
Designer and body-painter Koa Minifie said the native tree inspiration came from, "the Canterbury Plains and the view outside my window''.

The show repeats with different designs at 11:15am and 1:45pm tomorrow.

Christchurch band OpShop play at the show at 12.15pm and again tomorrow.

More than 25,000 people are expected at the show today where children can pet animals in the CIty Farmyard or have a go on the fairgronud rides.

Emergency services at the show are urging people planning to attend to be patient as traffic is heavy and be sun smart by bringing a hat and sunscreen.

The show concludes tomorrow when 60,000 people are expected to flood through the gates, including special guest Princess Anne in the afternoon.

Organisers are urging parents to write their cellphone numbers on childrens' hands to help with processing lost kids.
