the russian artist and her model have been working together for 6 years there's no place for shame in bodypainting. what's needed is stamina. we're now in my legs going to sleep and when the girls paint my legs from both sides i have to stand on for a long time and then i start to get fidgety sometimes they complain when i tell them wait a minute i just need to relax a bit. there are 6 different categories for world champion among them the working techniques of brush and sponge and airbrush. but the competition is only part of the festival. the bright colors unusual motifs in art installations a truck more than $30000.00 visitors each year. before the deal when i take pictures in the come as a 1st. and so is what the models do. the ideas they come up with a just great. fun test. up to my daughter's really into

and the british just musicians play in front of 3 different huts today. between the concert venues. every. one forgettable moments and panoramas are guaranteed. i can honestly say it's unlike any performance experience i've done with any band in my in my musical career so it's definitely something that's been kicked off the list but like i say i'd love to do it again sometime. i knew i was going to have been. spared mental sounds but otherwise only nature is here.
