I have a few latex body paint questions (Avatar fans encouraged to reply)?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010 at 9:32 am

I’m very skeptical about covering my entire body in avatar blue latex paint, so I have a few questions for those who have used it before.

Will the paint rub off easily by touch, sweat, sitting on bar stools, etc?
Will it stain my skin?
What is the BEST brand to use? (price doesn’t matter)

Please share any thoughts about latex body paint that you think someone should know (esp when I’m covering my entire body with the stuff…)

thank you!

I think this is an AWESOME idea! I know that Liquid Latex Fashions offers an Avatar kit. Check it out at http://www.liquidlatexonline.com/new-liquid-latex-avatar-costume-kit.aspx

To answer your questions:

1. Latex paint does not rub or sweat off like acrylic and grease paints. In fact the latex is completely breathable and is easy to remove, you just peel it off. I will suggest that if you are painting your entire body you purchase the finishing spray if you do not purchase the kit. The finishing spray will take away the tack that the latex has and allow you to move around without having to worry that the latex will stick to itself and then rip or peel apart. So this step is crucial when painting large areas!

2. I know for a fact that the Liquid Latex Fashions brand DOES NOT stain your skin. I’ve used this product many times and have never had a problem.

3. Liquid Latex Fashions is by far the best that is out there right now. Not only do they have super fast shipping, but the Liquid Latex is ammonia free!!! That is so important when painting your face because the ammonia does not have the best smell in the world. Also I’ve read that their products are made with FDA approved ingredients making it safe for use on the face and body. Also if you have any questions contact them and they’ll offer you a boat load of more information! They are extremely helpful.

Best of luck!

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
