body painted swimsuit at the beach?
I was just looking at some pics of some incredible body painted models...and it made me wonder if there have been any models here who have tried visiting the beach (or maybe a public pool) wearing nothing but a painted on swimsuit? If you have (or maybe know of someone who has), tell us the story of how it went. Apr 04 12 06:48 pm Link It would probably go poorly unless you didn't get hot and start sweating, didn't move around a lot and of course, didn't go anywhere near the water. Come on.

Apr 05 12 06:05 am Link In Dallas, TX, latex paint is considered clothing, will post link later. Apr 05 12 06:10 am Link Even if it's considered clothing, I'm not going to the beach with fucking painted-on boardshorts Apr 05 12 07:03 am Link Gary Melton wrote: even bodypaint models often wear a thong or something... so how about not covering yourself completely in paint and just wear a thong bikini bottom to the beach Apr 05 12 07:05 am Link Professor Oni wrote: The OP could always get a permit too. So chill dude, he's just asking a question. Apr 05 12 07:06 am Link Maui MVP wrote: No kidding Einstein. Could it be because no matter how much paint you put on, you'r still gonna have some boys hanging around to ruin the illusion. Apr 05 12 07:08 am Link Maui MVP wrote: The water is not that cold. Apr 05 12 07:08 am Link I think this could be a fun idea. And if the ocean water can wash it off, even more fun as you shoot a fading, dripping, (melting?) bikini away.

Maybe with kind of a tongue-in-cheek Norman Rockwell look to it. Apr 05 12 10:21 am Link If I did another body paint swimsuit, I'd probably ask Chris Rifkin to shoot it for me! I did paint cutoff blue jean shorts & a top on a model at a con here in 2010; she left the hotel & walked 2 blocks to the store for some beer in it & never got a question.

Apr 05 12 10:30 am Link I've painted models for parties before and had people walk right by without realizing that there was a nude woman in the room. That being said... I would be VERY careful about local laws and law enforcement. Some places are pretty lax, but others might decide that everyone involved gets to be a registered sex offender. Best bet I think would be to book a spot at one of those naturist places, or a Hedonism type resort and do your shoot there... no worries.

I can imagine that many people - if they're not "studying" the person walking by (especially if they were 20 feet or more away from them) - wouldn't really notice that it was just body paint. Apr 05 12 10:47 am Link I have tried the painted on latex bikini with different degrees of success. Here is the first time I tried it, a string forming the outline and filled in with four layers of paint-on latex. I did not do the string right so the upper part is coming apart. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11897652 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11897651 Here is a later improvement, photographed in the studio as the weather turned bad. This is a single layer of latex. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15392996 I recently took another model to a beach, wearing a very brief, painted-on latex bikini but even though it was a 70 degree day she was shivering and did not want to pose in the water. Also we took so long to apply the bikini that the sun had shifted to a bad position. I have not posted those. Sep 22 12 02:56 pm Link Nemi wrote: It may depend on the formulation that you use. I shot a body paint bikini recently and it took several minutes to dissolve when we were done with it and it would have taken even longer had the model not given it some assistance with her hands.
