Combining streaking and body painting into one fun-filled event.

Join a variety of artists at Paradise Lakes displaying, selling, conducting and teaching their art form.  Be painted, paint someone, or simply be a spectator at this spectacular event. 

The Cotton Tail Run is one of the highlights during this special weekend; you don't have to participate in the run to be painted, and you don't have to be painted to participate in the run! 

Attention 'body' theme Artists (tattoos, custom made Jewelry, Body Painters, Sculptors, Photography, etc.):

Display your artwork at Paradise Lakes Resort April 20-22.  You will find many willing guests to be your nude body canvas.  (Sorry, tattoos cannot be preformed at the resort but tattoo artists are welcome to display their portfolios).

For amateurs inspired to do body painting, Paradise will provide body paint for you.  A body paint workshop will be held Saturday, April 21 at 1 p.m. by Living Brush.  $20 single; $35 couple.  Paints and brushes supplied.  An amateur body painting contest will be held Sunday, April 22.  More info HERE.

The inaugural Cotton Tail 5K run, to be held April 21 at 6 p.m., is an outgrowth of Paradise’s popular “Sneaker Streaker” 5K run, held annually each fall since 1995. That race attracts many first-time nudists whose “Cotton Tail” buns have never been exposed to sunlight.

A“Body Art Festival” was combined with the Cotton Tail 5K run, figuring some runners might want to race wearing only body paint. Award-winning body painter Pashur is among the artists who will be on hand for the event.

The 5K race will be held at 6 p.m. to allow visitors and runners ample time to enjoy the resort during the day and get painted, if desired. Runners are encouraged to make a day and evening at Paradise; showers are available poolside. The light-hearted run, which will feature water and beer stations along the course, has drawn roughly 100 pre-registrants.

The event director, Sabrina Vizzari, will be body painted nude on Friday at 3 p.m., prior to co-hosting “The Fitness Buff Radio Show,” which airs on AM 1340 WTAN on Friday afternoons at 5 live from Paradise Lakes. Print and broadcast media wishing to cover the event should contact Vizzari at 813-949-9327 ext. 336.
