famous body painting artists

so, this is my hometown, lansing. it is a very small suburb, but i love it here. they embrace change, theyembrace cultures, they embrace everything. she told me about the contestand she said, "they’re flying me out to new york!"i said what?! and she said i’m leaving friday,i said, "what?!" i heard about the29rooms sweepstakes on youtube. and i said, you know why not let’s giveit a try.

the next day i got an email saying that iwas selected. i’m super excited that iam going to 29rooms. she deserves it. trelissa is a warm, loving,compassionate child, and i look forward her going to newyork and having a wonderful, safe time. i get to go and get body painted, see therooms, and just be in new york city. thank you. thank for making her dream come true. this is nuts.

but i’m loving it. this city is crazy. i thought getting a taxi in new york citywould be easier than this. being here in the city that i’ve alwayswanted to be in since i was a kid is so cool. but now i get to have a vip experience of29rooms in new york city. it’s going to be an absolute blast. as soon as the artist brings out the glitteri’m just gonna roll in it. i’m finally here.

i wanna keep this. oh hey! hi! -oh my god. so nice to meet you.-you too. -welcome.-thank you. i’m so excited to get body painted. are you nervous about doing this in frontof people? i’m trying to be bold. you are fantastic. yes! this is gonna be sorevolutionary for me,

presenting myself as aplus-sized young lady. so yeah. i’m honored tohold space for you. there will be lots of glitter. i’ve saved a whole thing of glitter foryou. oh yes. [laughter] i’m about to strip down and getstarted. yas! i am extremely stoked to becovered in glitter right now. cross this off my bucket list.

oh my god. this is so liberating just to stand there with my flabby arms,my rows, and cellulite. i wasn’t afraid, i wasn’t nervous. i felt beautiful inside and out, having the courage to go out there in front of everyone withtheir camera phones. and the artwork came out great. i feel great.

it just couldn't-it can’t get better than this.
