Does a mostly-naked woman painted in political slogans get more attention than a picket sign?

Oddly enough, yes.

Performance artist Laura Milkins, a graduate student at the University of Arizona, proved it on Sept. 25 when she strolled the campus dressed in pasties and a G-string (per Arizona public indecency statutes, printed on said G-string) and body paint. She collaborated with political activist-artist Heather Woodrich and Brazilian painter Eliane Paulino. Woodrich painted the front half of Milkins' body red, with the World Trade Center's twin towers afire in blue on the upper half of Milkins' torso. Paulino used Milkins' "back canvas" as the site for a painting about the oil industry and environmental concerns. The body painting alone took roughly three hours. →
