Kind of... when we were at the lake some people were out on a boat coming to shore, and they wouldn't have known that I was really nekid. :)
14. Where did you get painted and where did you do the photoshoot?
I got painted at Don Crossland's house, and shot at the lake. And Don's house too.

The results.

The amount of time. It was long, but worth it.

Porn? There's NOTHING pornographic about it, in my opinion.

I dont know... I did just sit here for a few minutes and think about it though. :)
19. How easy did the paint come off?
It wasn't easy.. I sat beneath warm running water and it seemed to help, but it sucked taking it off. My skin broke out pretty bad, but I left it on for quite awhile after the shoot. (8 hours or so after) Don't leave it on if your skin is sensitive.
20. What comments do you have about body painter Mark Greenawalt (be careful, he may quote you on this)?
I think he's FABU! Not only is he a talented artist, but makes the model feel comfortable during the painting and the shoot.
