In honor of April Fool's Day, here are some tricks for the eye. Rebecca Romijn in bodypaint, 1999.

This was the first bodypainting issue. Rebecca had
three different suits.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggdAqJRhHzN1G6A1OkkT5bBbHR_JVuSFHYggTbUzw3Ecf86reBbCt0IGwn1VwTFGppK9QI_qL_yJkkhadcylHP0xwvIWabPRX4_ItZjMjA85YD9_9YuVXdcFdO_r8XZ5Zt7aaPWLkYsuA/s400/47565_Rebecca_Romijn_7_Bodypaint_ph.jpg)
Today, a model only gets one. The process takes something like a half a day. I can't imagine how much naked stillness Rebecca had to endure for these shots.

That year, Heidi Klum and Sarah O'Hare had two suits each as well. Thank you for your service, ladies.
