'Naked Vegas:' A peek into the art of body painting

Oct. 28, 2013

Bodies are the painter's canvas in the new reality series "Naked Vegas." Premiering at 9 p.m. CT Tuesday on Syfy, the six-episode series introduces viewers to the Naked Vegas Team that specializes in painting bodies for special events as far flung as conventions to weddings to fashion shows. The fashion here is skin and paint--a lot of both. Syfy sent RedEye these photos from the premiere to share with our readers.
