Friday --
We were up early as Cheri had made an appointment to be
"painted" at noon at Rick's because, Pashur (her normal painter) was not able
to make it because of the reschedule. The first year though these guys
did the flames on her so we knew they did good work but this time it was not
so elaborate as she just needed two girls painted on her as she was going as
"The Mud Flap Girl" at least for half the day as you will see!
Rob and Laura gave us a good sending off and Cheri was looking for a quicker
way. It was so nice to walk in the sunshine and all of Duval Street was
closed to traffic as the vendors were starting to set up, so that made it
easier to get there.
"Paint Your Tits" tour, what a life, Tony wanted to sign up! Look at
the guy in the background already sneaking a shot Anyway Cheri say's "I want
them painted on right here" But you now have to go behind a board to
get painted!
A touch little more glitter
and the job is completed
Cheri & Michelle together again.
Retired fighter pilots last year and this year our friends were from the
NYPD. So we were either at Capt. Tony's or The Hard Rock Cafe
Everybody has Fun at Fantasy Fest
April is on her way to get painted for the night.
All on her own but not for long
Cheri was getting hungry so after a quick snack we headed for The Ocean Keys
Resort for lunch as there is such a beautiful view and there we met up with
Pashur's buddies who had decided to come down to Key West and paint.
Evan needed a model to enter the living art airbrush competition that night.
Of course Cheri volunteered so he got right to work.
No board to go behind here so Cheri is out in full view.
Amazing detail as The Dragon materializes, it took him over 2 hours and
Cheri was getting cold as the cool breeze was blowing off the ocean but what
a canvas.
While Evan was painting Cheri, his partner Brian was painting a
nice "business suit" and April was Miss America! All 3 entered the
competition but did not place. Naturally we think it was "fixed".
The best two girls on the street
The Dragon attracted a few Snakes
We found the winner, OK it was good too!
Cheri's different pose
A late night snack at HRC
We ended up at The Green Parrott and Cheri was ready for a shower.
