Body painting goes back to its roots: naked bodies

Los Angeles magazine's Chic Leak blog covered last night's launch of a new line of acrylic body paints by MAC. The lede was pretty catchy — "naked bodies abounded last night at Milk Studios in Hollywood" — but the quote from a MAC rep could become a classic. "The whole idea was to go back to what body painting really means,” said Christian Mitchell. OK!

Also at Chic Leak: An advance look at the fashion layout for the March issue of Los Angeles, shot at the new set in Atwater for perennial soap "All My Children." "You meet Susan Lucci, and you understand instantly why she’s the most famous woman on a soap opera today (and for a long time)," blogs Laurie Pike. Rebecca Budig is in the photo. And: Margaret Keane, "whose cartoonish portraits of big-eyed waifs were virtual wallpaper in the 1960s and 1970s," will make her first trip to Los Angeles in 40 years.
