DOZENS of hard-partying Kiwis paid to have “glitter boobs” and “glitter balls” at racy music festival where organisers reportedly offered revellers cash to go naked down a slide.

Footage of a woman with only glitter covering her chest attacking a man who groped her at Rhythm & Vines festival in Gisbourne, New Zealand, went viral today.

The incident sparked a furious debate, with victim Madeline Anello-Kitzmiller, 20, insisting no one has the right to touch her body, regardless of what she wears.

And one body artist working at the festival has now spoken out to say dozens of revellers were walking around in similar sparkly get-ups.

Jolene Guillam-Scott, 22, told the NZ Herald the art form was nothing new or controversial and was quite common at European festivals.

She said her customers had even included men who had “glitter balls” – and said nobody had thought it was acceptable to grope them.

Jolene told the paper: "There were guys who were like, 'Hey, can we get glitter on our balls?'

"One of our girls didn't mind, so we charged them $20 (£10).

"There were guys walking around the festival with glitter on their balls – but the guys who got naked were treated so differently."

And Kiri-Ann Hatfield – Madeline’s friend seen in the video throwing her drink in the groper’s face – made similar comments today.

She told the Herald in another article that a radio station had promoted a competition in which people could win cash by going down a slide in the buff.

Kiri-Ann is quoted as saying: “There were a lot of people [naked], a lot of men even.

“There were quite a few males on the slides with their pants down just doing their own thing – I didn't see them getting harassed at all.

“I would not let this ruin my experience.”
