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!
