Princeton tiger body painting back design starts

Matt's dad, Tim, in search of a "body painter" in Princeton NJ had to slog through myriad online references to automotive cosmetics but finally discovered Second Look does just the sort of body painting he was after and quickly booked a session. Family and friends from all over the country flew in for this key game, and no one but Matt and his parents were "in" on this stunt. Tim made a special request for Erin to come up with a design to go on Matt's back that would echo the chant of the Princeton Tiger fans to "Crush the Terrapins." The design also foreshadowed the Tiger's win!

This plan was pulled off on what happened to be the very same day as Princeton's "Communiversity," a town-consuming annual street festival centered on Palmer Square opposite the gates of the university that drew about 35,000 people this day. And why park near Palmer Stadium across from the pool when there's a parking garage on the far side of Princeton borough? Why not walk through the middle of the town square, past thousands of Princeton students and residents and visitors and try to attract a bit of media attention? Well, apparently a guy painted orange from head to toe is a magnet for newspaper photographers...

Well, Matt is actually from Yardley, PA, and he was supporting the Princeton Lady Tigers but... close enough! Below, a tight shot taken just before the white highlights were added to the body stripes.

Tim also arranged for Princeton sports fans attending the game to get painted! Paw prints were a popular choice for cheeks, some on a small field of orange. Below, one of the team's supporters outside the stadium that day who also opted to show his stripes in the stands. Cheek stripes were worn by plenty of fans but this man, in from Florida, specifically requested the additional matching "soul patch."

Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is often filled with colorful people, but seldom does anyone find body painted models on the steps of the New York Public Library. Nor do folks often find a conga line of painted bodies tying up New York's midtown traffic. Details on this attention-grabbing publicity stunt for Cuervo Tequila and Erin's work on the body painting team at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square are found here on the Stage & Media page.

Sometimes a character in a theatrical play calls for body painting, and when you're talking about a show called "Green Man," there's basically no way around it! Playing a contemporary expression of a mystical character that represents rebirth in medieval Celtic mythology, actor Spiff Wiegand is shown above at the make-up test, surrounded by his character's leafy green kin outside the stage door of Premiere Stages in Union, NJ. Details on this production are found on the Stage & Media page, linked below.
