Our esteemed sex columnist Jenny Block previewed the Tuaca Body Art Ball in her column last week by getting all painted up. She attended the event at the Palladium on Monday night. Here's her quick report:

It turned out to be one hot (free) ticket. Lines were out the door to get in and the place was packed. The show was like a very sexy mini-Cirque. The choreography was impressive, including pieces inspired by the cultures of India and Egypt, as well as '70s funk and '80s hip-hop.

The dancers were true entertainers, with killer bodies, engaging gazes and amazing technique. And the painting was pretty mind-boggling, from a girl who looked like she was wearing jeans and a halter and packing a gun to a pimp complete with real dollar bills coming out of his painted back pocket. There were a lot of double-takes.

The paint highlight of the show was the lizard (above, with me), painted by artist GiGi Coker, who opened the show.

You can still catch the last show of the tour Monday, April 20, in Austin. www.tuacabodyartball.com
