Here you go, my photos from Wonder Down Under! My favs are the body paintings…the one with the Aussie flag with a koala is Mark Reids, the ragedy anne doll/clown is Yolanda Bartrams and the Purple Wonder Down Under Girl was painted by Lynne Jamieson! Enjoy!

I love the body art. If someone has a problem with them then either they shouldn’t look or deal with it. It is no different than the “Old Masters” painting women in the nude. The way I see it the nipples are covered so what’s the problem? I really loved them and wished I was able to go to the Orlando convention.

I am now able to see your video and it is just great. I had the opportunity to see body painting in my city about a month ago. The painting was done around a Jungle Theme with over 30 International artists participating.. It was just superb as was your convention’s paintings. You are a great model.
