I don't know if any of you are familar with Spikey Dykey...ze's a gender queer drag preformer. Generally appearing male, though I've seen video's where ze's done some Pink so...just trying to address hir as ze's presenting.

Anyway...the reason I bring hir up is because ze's got an amazing way of taping down the breasts that I'd like to replicate. Here's a really good picture: Click http://lh5.ggpht.com/_755Vl5l5Sd0/SGq4vV91BkI/AAAAAAAAASw/xwxjPy8VRqs/HPIM3162.JPG

Obviously the abs are sprayed on...but is that black actually tape? Or is it some sort of...amazing prostetic I've not seen anywhere else before? I'm not sure how big hir chest is normally...obviously pretty small. I'm not sure I"d be able to achieve this look regardless, even after surgery but this picture in partuclar caught my attention and makes me wonder how ze's doing that...thoughts?

it looks almost like plastic wrap with black ink on it

To me, they don't look taped down...just really small. The black design might create an optical illusion.

ETA: Maybe they are taped. I say you should study the YouTube videos for clues. Then you get the benefit of different performances, live action, and the ability to pause the image.

As I said I've seen some of the youtube videos and it looks like it's electrical tape in those videos. However this picture ze's actually still for once so I can get a good look. The lines above and below are what really caught my attention. I'd think if it was just black electric tape (or something similar) they would have continued to spray tan so that the chest matches the abs and upper chest. The color difference is what really caught my attention.

This style of covering is like...hir signature thing. So I almost feel like I'm asking to steal something trade marked! lol...that's not my intention, just trying to trade secrets...that's all. lol. (I just don't know hir, so I can't ask directly!)

Oops, we cross-posted. Yeah, your guess is better than mine. Obviously the...parts are pretty small to start with. I was thinking first aid tape, the kind that doesn't hurt so much coming off. But the covering looks smooth rather than textured. Must hurt like an SOB when s/he takes it off...

Definitely a slight bulge at the top of the black which makes me think it is some kind of tape.
