Latest Chinese Beach Craze Is Full-Assed [UPDATE]

Nude sun bathing Sanya Beach Hainan

There really isn’t much to say about these pictures, which were taken on May 3 on a beach in Sanya, Hainan province and tweeted out by China Daily Show just now (“Who says China lacks innovation?”). Excerpt, perhaps, “Why?” A couple more pictures follow. They might not be appropriate for office gawking.

This is fashion’s — Chinese fashion, in this case — inevitable answer to the face-kini: when one dresses up, dress down.

UPDATE, 2:53 pm: Aw, spoilsports:

UPDATE, 5/7, 1:14 pm: Okay, this probably has nothing to do with these pictures, but a ban on nudity is likely to most affect those with skin disease. Via China Daily:

Shen Hong, a dermatologist at Hangzhou No 3 People’s Hospital, said psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that is difficult to cure.

“For patients with psoriasis, red patches with scales will occur, especially on their scalp, ears and genitalia. Abundant sunshine and washing with seawater can relieve the pain caused by these patches,” he said.

Sanya Mayor Wang Yong conceded that psoriasis patients are among the nude beachgoers in the city.

      A) Is this the Chinese beach/Speedo version of rolling up one’s pant legs or wife beater to mid gut?

      B) WTF is up with that guy in the lower left of the last pic looking like he’s on all fours awaiting a pile driving?!?!?!?!?!?

          So many incredible things happening. There’s a cop not even pretending that he’s not taking a picture …
