Body Painting for Runway show

Hi!

I wanted to share a few pictures of my first full body painting that I did last week. It was for a Runway- clothing show called "Off the Rack." Each year this show has clothing made out of/decorated with condoms to help raise money for a clinic here in town that's similar to Planned Parenthood. The theme is healthy sexuality so I thought -- what a great place to do some body art! So, this year I entered a model body painted as Eve in the Garden of Eden. She handed out apples to the crowd and did a great job.

I have to admit it was very nerve wracking doing my first full body painting and for it to be for an audience of 500 but I'm glad I did it!! I had about 5 hours to complete the painting.

One piece of advice I have for anyone doing a body painting -- that I wish I had done -- oh well is to paint the face first!! I ran out of time and had to do a literally 3 minute job on the face and I was exhausted and not very inspired at that point. Oh well! And I had some blending issues going from wild orchid into blue on the top of her legs!!!

Anyway here is a link to photos -- These were taken by a professional photographer for the show. My piece is PG with bandeau and full panties!

Any comments or questions are welcome! Thanks for letting me share!
