CONTACT The best way to contact me is e-mail buskergirl@gmail.com You can also call 504-473-3581 between 11 am and midnight, the best time to call me is 7-11 pm NOLA time. I do not usually accept calls during Mardi Gras, so e-mail is way better. My phone has a block on text messages, sorry, I DO NOT TEXT.
PRICES I am available for private and club bookings - 200$ minimum. (1 full body or 2-4 "quickies"). On Mardi Gras Day I am available after 2 pm in French Quarter/Marigny Triangle ONLY. (or at my studio in Triangle)
I charge 100$ an hour for private & non-profit parties and 120$ an hour for corporate events and parties which charge admission. There might be an extra charge for materials for full body painting. If you are booking me for a long event (more then 4 hours) - we can negotiate a deal. I am very fast and can paint 10-15 "body-quickies" an hour, or 15-25 faces, depends on how elaborate.
I accept cash and corporate checks only. I will e-mail or deliver invoices for corporate events. Deposit may be required for Holidays/Mardi Gras bookings.
DETAILS
Full nudity is optional for females for private body-painting sessions. If you want to be fully naked - you need to be shaved or waxed. If you are modeling for body-painting at an event - g-string and heels are a must, you can also wear pasties if you are more comfortable with them. I do not provide any accessories, please, bring your own.
Sorry, I do not paint "full monte" males, g-string or speedos a must. If you have thick body-hair - you need to have it waxed before the session. If you want partial body-painting - I can work around the hair.
For UV body-painting you'll need dark, non-shiny, solid color g-string or speedos I can paint on, for day-light/electric light it's better if it matches your skin-tone to be less visable. I can't paint on vynil or leather - the body-paint will not stick to these materials.
SOCIAL NETWORKING
If you are a model or photographer/video-producer - please network with me on www.modelmayhem.com/IrinaNOLA This is my main social networking site.
If you want to be my "facebook friend" - here's a link to my public page http://www.facebook.com/#!/paintbum or you can search IrinaNOLA. I hardly ever go there, but occasionally I post pictures of body-painting or of New Orleans events and parades.
I post my videos on http://www.youtube.com/user/IrinaNOLA- not much body-painting yet, but a lot of face-painting and New Orleans bands and parades.
