She first met with mixed media artist and body paint extraordinaire, Jacob AleXander, at Espresso Royale in downtown Minneapolis:
Following the first consultation and brief introduction, she was selected to participate in a live performance event with Jacob AleXander, which took place on the day many thought the world would end, Saturday, May 21st, 2011.
We all met at Nick And Eddie-Diamond showed just how committed, how reliable she is to her career in modeling by arriving over a half-hour early. Norell took that time to interview her once more, outside of Minneapolis restaurant, Nick and Eddie, where they may have spent their last hours.
The interview furthered excitement for the upcoming installation of the Edible Art Series-"Smores Edition"-a body art installment in which Diamond will star in with Jacob AleXander in a mess of everyone's favorite campfire treat.
Following the interview, we reveled for a moment that we hadn't experienced a rapture, as predicted by some. And then, having some time before the surprise that Xander had in store for all of Nick And Eddy, photo shoots commenced.
And because I know you all are waiting to see what the surprise was, here is one angle of the night's performance:
Only the audience-everyone who was present at Nick And Eddy-truly experienced the magic on stage; however, I tried my best to capture it for all you to enjoy:
And the gem, the star of the night's performance. Xander could not have had a better model on stage with him.
Mind you, the entire performance was improvised within 7 minutes, and this was Diamond's very first time, not only working with the artist, but her first time being body painted as well.
The piece was not about the complexity of the design, but rather the emphasis of surprise and a tease of Xander's latest fusion of food and paint.
Stay tuned for the Edible Art Series-"Smores Edition", and other treats to come.
