Family wearing nude suits.

September 19, 2006 6:23 AM

Help me find the photo of a family wearing suits that make them look like anatomically correct nude muppets.

I've seen a lot of weird images on the internet over the last fifteen years, but this one ranks near the top. I saw it a few years ago... maybe on FilePile. There is a man and woman and a boy and a girl. They are wearing suits from the neck down made of felt (or some other "muppety" material) . The suits look like nude bodies -- the man's suit has a patch of chest hair and dangly bits, the woman's suit has breasts and a triangle of fur down there, and the kids' suits were likewise muppet-realistic for their ages. The suits didn't have the parts painted on -- they were, uh, plush.

There was nothing sexual about the image. They were standing outdoors posing for the photo. I remember happy grins that added to the surrealness.

I believe this is the photo you were thinking of. They are by artist, Anna Maltz.

That is one of the most frightening images I've ever seen.

I think it is weird but not that disturbing ... it's clearly a family, not a girl touching some random guy's felt weiner. And not that I encourage my kids to touch any family member's genitals! It's just plainly simple curiosity in that photo.

Or maybe I am missing something.

(Sorry for writing in after the answer's been found.)
