Very cool pictures.

All the Omo people need now is a good-condition '98 Olds Cutlass and some fuzzy dice to hang from the rear view mirror.

Very neat, but not very functional, I think.
I mean, even if you live in a continent where rain is as exceptional as sense in Dubya's speech, you can't touch anything, do anything, without soon ruining that superb skin decoration through contact.
Can this guy even sit without thinking twice about the flowers on his butt? I'd hesitate.
Maybe it gives them an elegantly cautious gait...
Do they have a camo pattern for hunting parties? :-)

Amusingly, "Omo" in France was the name of a very famous washing powder.
Sometimes flower-scented!!!
