Body painting

Traditional body painting

Body painting was very common used in the early 12th to mid 14th century by religeous practicioners in rituals. This is an example of Gothic Art. It was common in the areas of countries we now refer to as France and Germany. Examples were displayed on frescoes, but primarily worn by members of the church clergy under robes. Primarily symbols on the arms, chest and back, these forms of identification led to Dalecarlian form of writing found in many northern European countries.

Often worn during ceremonies, it still survives in this ancient form among the indigenous people of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific islands and parts of Africa. A semi-permanent form of body painting known as Mehndi, using dyes made of henna (hence also known rather erroneously as “henna tattoo”), was and is still practised in India and the Middle East, especially on brides. Since the late 1990s, Mehndi has become popular amongst young women in the Western world.

Indigenous peoples of South America traditionally use annatto, huito, or wet charcoal to decorate their faces and bodies. Huito is semi-permanent, and it generally takes weeks for this black dye to fade.

Actors and clowns around the world have painted their faces–and sometimes bodies–for centuries, and continue to do so today. More subdued form of face paints for everyday occasions evolved into the cosmetics we know today.

There has been a revival of body painting in the Western society since the 1960s, in part prompted by the liberalization of social mores regarding nudity. Even today there is a constant debate about the legitimacy of body painting as an art form. The current modern revival could be said to date back to the 1933 World’s Fair in chicago where Max Factor and his model were arrested for causing a public disturbance when he bodypainted her with his new make-up formulated for Hollywood films.

Body art today evolves to the works more directed towards personal mythologies, as Jana Sterbak, Rebecca Horn, Youri Messen-Jaschin or Javier Perez.

Body painting is not always large pieces on fully nude bodies, but can involve smaller pieces on displayed areas of otherwise clothed bodies.

Body painting led to a minor alternative art movement in the 1950s and 1960s, which involved covering a model in paint and then having the model touch or roll on a canvas or other medium to transfer the paint. French artist Yves Klein is perhaps the most famous for this, with his series of paintings ‘Anthropometries’. The effect produced by this technique creates an image-transfer from the model’s body to the medium. This includes all the curves of the model’s body (typically female) being reflected in the outline of the image. This technique was not necessarily monotone; multiple colors on different body parts sometimes produced interesting effects.

Joanne Gair is a leading body paint artist whose work appeared for the tenth consecutive year in the 2008 sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She burst into prominence with a August 1992 Vanity Fair Demi’s Birthday Suit cover of Demi Moore. Her Disappearing Model was part of the highest rated episode of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!.

Body painting is commonly used as a method of gaining attention in political protests, for instance those by PETA against Burberry.

Body painting festivals

Body painting festivals happen annually across the world, bringing together professional body painters as well as keen amateurs. Body paintings can also typically be seen at football matches, at rave parties, and at certain festivals. The World Bodypainting Festival in Seeboden in Austria is the biggest art event in the bodypainting theme and thousands of visitors admire the wonderful work of the participants.

Bodypaint festivals that take place in the US include North American Body Painting Championshipand the Face Painting and Body Art Conventionin Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fine art body painting

The 1960s supermodel Veruschka is often cited as being many body painters’ muse.[citation needed] Her images in the book Transfigurations with photographer Holger Trulzsch have frequently been emulated.[citation needed] Other well-known works include Serge Diakonoff’s books A Fleur de Peau and Diakonoff and Joanne Gair’s Paint a licious.

Since the early 1990s bodypainting has become more widely accepted in the United States, and more and more body artists are beginning to come onto the national community.

Starting in late 2006 Sacramento art galleries started to use fine art bodypainting as performance art to draw new patrons.[citation needed]

In 2006 the first gallery dedicated exclusively to fine art bodypainting was opened in New Orleans by World Bodypainting Festival Champion and Judge, Craig Tracy. The Painted Alive Gallery is on Royal Street in the French Quarter.

Body painting in the commercial arena

Many artists work professionally as body painters across the world. Their work is seen regularly in television commercials, such as the Natrel Plus campaign featuring models camouflaged as trees. Body painters also work frequently in the film arena especially in science fiction with more and more elaborate alien creations being body painted. Stills advertising also used body painting with hundreds of body painting looks on the pages of the world’s magazines every year.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, published annually, has in recent years featured a section of models that were body painted, attired in renditions of swimsuits or sports jerseys. Sometimes accessories are used such as bows or buttons. Some allege this allows SI to skirt their own no-nudity guideline.[citation needed]

In the 2005 Playmates at Play at the Playboy Mansion calendar, all Playmates appeared in the calendar wearing bikinis, but Playmates Karen McDougal and Hiromi Oshima actually appeared in painted on bikinis for their respective months. In October, 2005, the Playboy magazine cover featured a foldout of two models (Sara Jean Underwood and Victoria Thornton) wearing only body paint. The February 2008 cover of Playboy magazine featured Tiffany Fallon body painted as Wonder Woman. These covers and other body paintings done for Hugh Hefner’s parties at the Playboy Mansion are created for Playboy by artist Mark Frazier.[citation needed] Michelle Manhart, Playboy model and former air Force Staff Sergeant, recently posed in body paint for the cover of a 2008 pin-up calendar (published by Operation Calendar).

With the success of body painting, this has led to publications on this artform and also Illusion Magazine which is aimed to painters for all abilities, showcasing work around the world.

Face painting

Face painting is the artistic application of cosmetic “paint” to a person’s face. There are special water-based cosmetic “paints” made for face painting; people should ask before having face paints applied what products are being used. Acrylic and tempera craft paints are not meant for use on skin and are not acceptable, nor are watercolor pencils or markers. Products not intended for use on skin can cause a variety of issues ranging from discomfort to severe allergic reactions.

From ancient times, it has been used for hunting, religious reasons, and military reasons (such as camouflage and to indicate membership in a military unit). In re-entered the popular culture during the hippie movement of the late 1960s, when it was common for young women to decorate their cheeks with flowers or peace symbols at anti-war demonstrations.

For several decades it has been a common entertainment at county fairs, large open-air markets (especially in Europe and the Americas), and other locations where children and adolescents are. Face painting is very popular among children at theme parks, parties and festivals throughout the Western world. Though the majority of face painting is geared towards children, many teenagers and adults enjoy being painted for special events, such as charity fund raisers.

There are many kinds of face paint, including:

Designs that include the emblems of favorite sports teams, cartoon characters, and other designs that are “cute” or otherwise appealing to the young.

Dramatic designs that appeal to all ages.

Costuming designs which transform the wearer into someone/something completely different, such as Jack Haley’s silver face makeup as the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz.

Designs that endeavor to color the face in such a way to indicate solidarity with a cause, usually the outcome of a sporting contest or membership in a group.

Popular face painting designs include;

Tiger – This design, in most cases, consists of a body of orange and yellow paint, with black stripes painted on. Details include bushy eye brows and a muzzle or whiskers, alongside a black painted nose.

Clown – This design, in most cases, consists of a body of white painting. With shapes and features such as a red nose or bright eyes the model is made to take on the features of a circus clown.

Spider-Man – This is a body of red paint with white eyes and spider like black patterns on the models face. Similar to that of the mask worn by Spider-Man.

dog – Commonly a dalmatian, this design is white with large black spots on the eyes and cheeks. A black nose is added along with whisker pores. A tongue is commonly added to give the effect of the model panting, similar to that of a dog.

Butterfly – A design consisting of the body of the butterfly being painted on the nose and the wings added across the cheeks. Wing patterns vary.

cat – Many designs may feature under this heading. It could be a plain black tabby cat or a wild leopard. Either way, it usually consists of a neutral body of paint with bushy eyebrows and a muzzle.

It is common to find if someone is dressed in an animal costume, a black nose will be added alone to give the impression of an animal face and not just body. Sometimes, a full face is added or sometimes none at all.

Most theme parks have booths scattered around where a person can have a design painted on their face. A similar activity is the application of “instant tattoos”, which are paint or ink-based designs that are put on as one unit and removed by means of water, alcohol, soap, or another mild solvent. More elaborate temporary tattoos may be made using stencils and airbrush equipment. Very recently, “glitter tattoos” have been gaining popularity. These are made by filling a stencil (or freehand painting a design) with The “Original Pink Glue” then coating the adhesive with cosmetic-grade glitter.

Use in military

A soldier applies green face paints as camouflage.

It is common in militaries all over the world for soldiers in combat scenarios to paint their faces and other exposed body parts (hands, for example) in natural colors such as green, tan, and loam for camouflage purposes.

Use in professional wrestling

Many professional wrestlers paint their faces as part of their costuming. Examples are The Ultimate Warrior, Road Warrior Animal and his tag team partner, Road Warrior Hawk, and Doink the Clown.

In the late 1980s, American professional wrestler Steve Borden, under the stagename Sting, wore colourful striped facepaint as part of his ring attire, in the National Wrestling Alliance and later, World Championship Wrestling. In the mid-1990s, the Sting character was modernised along the lines of Brandon Lee’s The Crow, with black and white facepaint usually following a pattern similar to that of a scorpion. Upon joining the nWo Wolfpac stable in 1998, the facepaint was temporarily altered to red and black.

In 2002, WWE superstar Jeff Hardy began utilising facepaint in different variations. Upon being drafted to WWE’s RAW brand in 2002, Hardy began wearing neon or ultraviolet body paint, that would glow in its colour under UV lighting placed on the entrance stage. Upon entering TNA Wrestling in 2003, Hardy’s facepaint took on a more luminous quality, before being quietly retired in 2006, upon his WWE return. In 2008, Hardy resuming using facepaint as part of his ring attire. Hardy continues to use facepaint as a key part of his act, though he no longer wears it in on-screen non-wrestling segments.

Body paints

Modern water-based face and body paints are made according to stringent guidelines, meaning these are non-toxic, usually non-allergenic, and can easily be washed away. These are either applied with hands, paint brush, and synthetic sponges or natural sea sponge, or alternatively with an airbrush. Contrary to the popular myth perpetuated by the James Bond film Goldfinger, a person is not asphyxiated if their whole body is painted. Liquid latex may also be used as body paint and allows although wearing latex for a prolonged period may cause heat stroke by inhibiting perspiration and care should be taken to avoid the painful removal of hair when the latex is pulled off.

Manufacturers of widely available professional body and face paint include: Kryolan, Mehron, Snazaroo, Wolfe Face Art & FX, Diamond FX, Grimas, Ben Nye and Fardel.

The same precautions that apply to cosmetics should be observed. If the skin shows any sign of allergy from a paint its use should immediately be ceased. Moreover, it should not be applied onto open wounds, nor should it be applied too close to the eyes. It is not advisable to use paints or products which have not been formulated for use on the body as these can result in serious allergic reactions.

As for Mehndi, natural brown henna dyes are safe to use; however, synthetic black dyes containing PPD can cause serious skin allergies, and should be avoided due to the substantial risk of serious injury. Jagua is a dark indigo plant based dye that is safe to use on the skin and is approved for cosmetic use in the EU.

Hand art

Hand art is the application of make-up or paint to a hand to make it appear like an animal or other object. Some hand artists, like Guido Daniele, produce images that are trompe l’oeil representations of wild animals painted on people’s hands.

Hand artists work closely with hand models. Hand models can be booked through specialist acting and modeling agencies usually advertising under “body part model” or “hands and feet models”.

Etiquette in the Courtroom – A Private Investigator in Austin Perspective

Over the years as an Austin, Texas Guardian ad Litem and Private Investigator I have testified at least a thousand times during family law bench and jury trials. I have seen my share of good lawyers, bad lawyers, and pro se litigants. This article is for those of you who have dared to represent yourselves during court.  I realize that representing yourself can be a daunting and a terrifying experience, but it can be done successfully.  Your main advantages are: (1) it costs you very little money vs. what the other party is paying their attorney which is usually around $300 per hr.; and (2) the judge may be a little more permissive of procedural mistakes that the pro se litigant may make. 

For those of you who are contemplating representing yourself it would be wise to actually sit in on other family law court cases to get a better understanding of how things work before you present your case. Almost all family court cases in Austin are open to the general public with the exception of adoptions. In Travis County, docket call starts at 8:30 am with the work day ending generally at 5:00 pm. It is unlikely that one particular judge will be assigned to your case during the course of your entire litigation. You may have a different judge each and every time you attend court unless the judge takes an interest in your case and decides to take the case under his/her supervision for its duration, which is not very often but does happen.

The following is a list of 10 suggestions that the pro se litigant (as well as other litigants) may find helpful:

1. Dress properly for court. At the very least, men should wear a dress shirt and a tie, and a sport coat and slacks are recommended. Do not wear blue jeans and a t-shirt. Personally, I try to dress just under what the attorneys are wearing which means I generally don’t wear a suite. A sport coat, tie, and slacks are generally what I wear during bench trials. Since jury trials are a bit more formal, I will sometimes wear a suite. Women should generally wear dresses with hose or a women’s business suit — either with pants or a dress is acceptable. Again, try to wear an outfit just under what other women attorneys are wearing. Do not wear short dresses or blouses showing lots of cleavage, and especially no midriffs. 

2. Always stand when the judge enters or leaves the room.  Wait to sit down until the judge sits down or unless he tells you to sit beforehand.  If you wish to address the judge or to make an objection to what the other party says or does, always stand unless the judge gives you permission to sit which is not very often in formal hearings. Remember to sit while questioning witnesses.

3. Make sure your cell phone is turned off before entering court. Placing the phone on vibrate as long as it is silent while vibrating is probably okay. Do not answer your phone in court unless you have the court’s permission. Generally, this is only permissible if the Court has asked you to get somebody on the phone. If a personal phone call must be answered strive to take the phone call outside the courtroom before answering it unless the court has given different instructions.

4. Do not read magazines, paperback books, or newspapers in court even when court is not in session. This should be a rather obvious rule of Court Etiquette but I know of an attorney who was found in contempt of court for reading a magazine.

5. Avoid ex parte communications with the Judge. This means never talk to the judge about the case when the other party is not present. On rare occasions, an ex-pare communication may be appropriate if the Court does not want to alert the other party, such as when evidence may be destroyed if notice was given beforehand. Ex parte communication also includes writing letters personally to the judge without copying the other party.

6. Address the judge as “Your Honor” in most cases. In less formal hearings, it is sometimes okay to refer to the judge as simply “Judge.”

7. Do not talk to the other party while in court. Talk directly to the judge about what you would like to say to the other party.

8. If you wish to enter documents into evidence, remember to make copies for the other attorney to read. The other party has a right to inspect these documents and object to them on legal grounds prior to the documents admission. Likely, the court clerk will number each document as an exhibit prior to giving it to the Court for review and admission.

9. Keep in mind the rules of hearsay. You cannot repeat what others tell you unless it was a statement from the other party. There are a few exceptions to this rule — for example what a person might say if they say these comments while dying. Hearsay also applies to documents unless there is an affidavit indicating that the document is a business record written during the normal course of business, such as therapist notes. As a private investigator, I will need to “prove up” pictures or reports that I produce –essentially saying I was the one who produce them, and that the report and pictures are accurate. The other party also has a right to question me about it.

10.  Lastly, keep your emotions under control. Don’t laugh or smile if the judge should admonish the other party. Even making eye contact or certain looks can get you in trouble with the judge. I try to keep a poker face on while in court. Essentially no matter what happens, good or bad, I try to remain emotionless. Remember, not only does a judge evaluate evidence, they also evaluate you.

How To Wear Boyfriend jeans

Chances are if you are reading this article, you take the way you look and your clothing very seriously.  You may be up on all the latest trends and ready to take the world by storm!  But sometimes, there’s a trend that we just don’t get or know how to put together without looking a little silly.  This is especially true for boyfriend jeans, which have become quite popular over the last season or two.  If you want to look your best - sexy and fun - boyfriend jeans are the way to go, but you have to do it right.  Here’s how.

What are Boyfriend Jeans?

First of all, what are boyfriend jeans?  Yes, they’re everywhere, but are they actually a pair of jeans you swipe from your boyfriend or husband’s drawer?  The answer is simply no.  Men’s jeans are cut differently than women’s so wearing your man’s jeans may make you look a little strange if they don’t fit properly.  The jeans are meant to be baggy and rolled at the ankles while fitting you through the hips and thighs.  Opt for the straight leg cut - do not use men’s boot cut or flared jeans for this look.

How to Wear Boyfriend Jeans

As mentioned, boyfriend jeans are meant to be rolled at the ankle.  The cuff should rest just above the ankle, showing off your feminine foot.  If you are on the smaller side, make sure that you even out the look by cuffing the jeans with a smaller roll.  The look is meant to sit low on the hips, hence the “boyfriend jeans” angle, so it will work if you are curvy or straight.

What to Wear with Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend jeans are meant to be casual yet feminine.  The point is not to look masculine.  You will want to wear boyfriend jeans with slim-fitting tops, girly shoes, and other feminine accessories.  Ballet flats, detailed gladiators, and chunky high heels tend to work best with boyfriend jeans.

You should avoid masculine pieces such as cotton flannel, button-down shirts, and ties.  This could make you look like a guy.  If you must incorporate other masculine pieces, make sure you wear high heels, throw on a couple of chunky bracelets, or cinch the waist with a belt.

Now Go Out and Wear Them!

Just remember, when you put together an outfit with boyfriend jeans at the focus, keep it simple. Because the jeans themselves are going to be baggy, you do want to achieve some balance with tighter tops, dainty shoes, and feminine jewelry, but don’t go overboard.  Just a piece here and there and you’ll be looking good!
