Airbrush Confidential Party at the Hard Rock
Sunday, November 19th, 2006
11/2/06 — What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Nice slogan, but we’re not buying it. In fact, we’re sharing what happened in Vegas with you. During the SEMA show, we attended the Airbrush Confidential Party — where your hosts; Iwata Medea, Artool, Airbrush Action, Coast Airbrush, 3M, House of Kolor, and ASET came together to play host to the hottest airbrush party Vegas has ever seen. This was a great opportunity to get together and catch up with industry leaders in a fun environment. Kathy and I shared the camera throughout the night, and together we caught up with friends (some old-some new), talked shop, and had a great time.

Did I mention that we had body-painted models? We did, and they were a hit - here’s Gabe enjoying their company, and no doubt contemplating the next set of curves for the Artool product line.
Shin showing off his newest creation “Topp Gunn”. WOW!
Simon Evans enjoying the company of both of our body-painted models, Beverly painted by Shin, and Rachel painted by Pamela Shanteau. Okay, you’re probably thinking: “Why aren’t there more pics of those body painted models?” Good question! Stay tuned for an update, because we captured it all for you - the girls, the paint, the painters, the airbrushes, all on the balcony of one of the fine rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel/Casino. Yeah the whole shebang. But you have to come back for that one. We’ll dedicate a post to it and you’ll not want to miss it!
If you attended the Airbrush Confidential Party and don’t see your picture here, send it to us at the contact link on the right and we’ll add it! We’ll make you famous.
