On August 14, 2001, we were in Manhattan for one of the best times we've had in our lives. Our crew of 5 body painters enjoyed some of New York's finest folks, as we airbrushed our way through 50 models in an all-out, over-night, body-painting marathon at Pier 61 (Chelsea Piers). We were there to help Coca-Cola with their reintroduction of PowerAde at Union Square. We made some excellent friends and the event was a complete success. Every one of our models and associates were cream of the crop and a complete joy to work with. A little less than a month later, we don't know if these fabulous human beings are even still living. The same streets and structures that left us breathless as we walked through Manhattan are now covered with debris or are completely gone. The lively Union Square is now being used as a memorial for those missing or killed.
We at The Airbrush Shoppe are in deep and anguished mourning for those people, the people of Washington DC, the people of Pennsylvania, the poor souls who were hijacked, the lost emergency workers, for our Nation, and for all freedom-loving humans the World over. We've been very busy since our trip to NY and haven't taken the time to update this site with our exciting Big Apple adventure. Now, we offer this update as more of a memorial to the people of Manhattan, hopefully giving the rest of the World a glimpse of their easy smiles, fun-loving ways and their undying spirits.
Here's to you, Manhattan. You stole our hearts while we were there and now we're sending our thoughts and prayers, too.
Here's to the emergency workers who are real American Heroes!
