2nd Annual Be Bold for Breast Cancer Fundraiser was very successful. Set at Mirage Nightclub in Surrey, BC at least 32 men & woman showed up to have their breasts painted. This years partial funds raised went to our most insprational friend Janelle Hughes who unfortunately lost her fight last year. Samantha Rae was lead painter with Jenn Little as her assistant this year. Both are pictured centre bottom row (Sam on L, Jenn on R) . Thank you to Ashleigh Topliss for organizing such a great event and Q Parker for the fabulous photo session.

Here is the beautiful creation Sammy designed for MakeUp Forever's 25th Anniversary on her gorgeous model Maggie. She really was a showstopper. Photographs by Geoff Howard.

It was an amazing evening of very high brow elegance and amazing Body Art. This years competition was outstanding. The level of artistry from the contestants was just jaw dropping. Sammy didn't expect to win, as she had won the year before, but she was wonderfully surprised when she was selected once again as the winner. It was a very close competition and her artist friends Lucie Brouillard and Jen Little came in 2nd and 3rd place as well. Here are the detailed pics from the night.

Guess who was at the Exposed Fashion Show at the Whistler Ski and Snowboard Festival? Samantha Rae of course and Gene Simmons from Kiss! He was up there with his crew filming an episode of Family Jewels and decided to take in some of the festivals fun. Of course he couldn't help but notice the Helly Hansen Bodypainting Models. This is Sammy before she got her earred chewed on by Gene! her hair was in a ponytail until he got his hands on it.

What a blast! Sam loves these guys! Celebrities is one of her favorite clients. She is their House Body Painter. She always has a wonderful time working with them and does such creative things. They also are some of the nicest people she deals with in business. Thanks Celebrities!!!!!

Sam got a call to do a surprise b-day party. The models had worked for her on several gigs before but they said they felt extra special this night because of all the details in the flowers

In April Sammy was asked to come up with a theme that would reflect the inner feelings and creative expressions of this singing duet. Sketches and costume designs were shared back and forth and this was the first run at the final production.
