(http://oddstuffmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/body-paintings-23.jpg)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Elizabeth, Kinky, Mariana, Chloe, and Lawrence<br/><br/>Paint, every inch of her body from her ankles to her neck, to her wrists was covered in a thin layer of latex paint. Beautiful as it was and it really was a work of art she did not in any way feel clothed. She felt like she was standing there stark naked without the weight of clothing on her slight frame. "Really just this?" She asked again for about the eighth time. She nodded when Elizabeth said yes and glanced towards the other clowns that were nothing if not her family, while other in the circus might be a bit more removed with the other clowns she was home.<br/><br/>She nodded her agreement to Elizabeth before her mentor left her looking in the mirror putting on a light robe on so no one else yet saw the way she would be dressed. Twisting and turning before the mirror she tried to get used to the look of her body painted so completely. She was trying to convince her mind she wasn't nearly as naked as she felt. Kinky's little joke caused Lexie's eyes to narrow she watched the reaction in the mirror with a hint of interest. It wasn't often she was mad and even less often she happened to have a mirror handy to watch the reaction take place.<br/><br/>After a moment she turned so she was facing him strait on her hands settling on painted hips. "I don't think it's dressing she's concerned about in this instance." She said sarcasm edging her bright words as she smiled. She slipped the robe from her shoulders figuring if she could face Kinky like this the rest of the circus, her friends, would be a cake walk. "But thank you for your concern love." She said easily planting a kiss on his cheek as she passed him to join the other clowns who were chattering excitedly.<br/><br/>She listened over the din of excited speech for Elizabeth's voice that started her speech. Lexie already knew she was to join them weather Elizabeth told her she could wait or not. Staying behind would show weakness and discomfort, things that didn't emulate a Clown and there was no way she could be anything else now. It had only been a few weeks but she couldn't imagine a life different from this anymore. This was it. It was all she wanted.<br/><br/>When the curtains lifted revealing the clowns Lexie was right up front with them. She smiled brightly and walked with a kind of confidence that would have been eye catching even wearing a garbage bag. She made a beeline towards the small gathering that was taking place around one of the tables flashing a grin at Elizabeth. She ignored Kink's antics though she laughed brightly at it even lending her own voice along with many of the other clowns to his Hurray!<br/><br/>Lexie skipped to the table giving Mariana a hug from behind, "You look so good with your hair down." She said tugging a lock playfully grinning brightly. Hearing Chloe's comment to Kink she couldn't help but laugh a bright bubbly sound that had a hint of musical quality to it. It was clear she laughed a great deal. " Oh pooh Chloe give him a break not everyone can be as proper as you hun." She said slanting an amused look at the dark haired girl as she moved to perch on the table crossing her legs modestly and making a show of being comfortable and at ease even if her belly felt as if it was full of butterflies.<br/><br/>Taking a cigarette from the table and lighting it with a match Lexie inhaled deeply a smile quirking her lip as she took in the smoke. Her gaze landed on Lawrence and she smiled brightly. "I'm so glad you joined us tonight Lawrence. I was starting to wonder if I'd need to hunt you down to have a conversation with you." She said with a giggle.<br/><br/>Twisting around and half laying across the table Lexie grabbed a bottle of flavored vodka and a glass pouring herself a healthy amount. She didn't need to drink to be silly or to gain courage she had both in spades but it did help her loosen up a bit in the few ways she was reserved and right now wearing something as revealing as she was she felt like she needed something a touch extra. She took the trouble shot and promptly started coughing laughing once she caught her breath, "Wee that was fun. Now what?" She said her eyes shifting around the group.<br/><br/>Her eyes lingered on Kink for a moment before moving away and landing on Lawrence once more. Her head tilted to the side and a playful look took over her face her eyes flashing a bright blue brilliance, "Lets dance." She said  letting her fingers lightly play down his arm like she was planning on taking his hand, "Pay back for avoiding our wonderful company for so long." She teased laughing lightly her bright smile never faltering.
