Why? Episode 186- Body Painter Breanna Cooke Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

Anybody can paint on a canvas that's flat and sitting still. But painting on something with dimensions and that can breathe and complain... well, that's a whole other story. This week we talked with body artist Breanna Cooke, who uses the human body for her artwork.
She has painted hundreds of people for various events and she knows the ins and outs to having your artwork turn out perfect every time. And now she's expanded, offering clothing with some of her beautiful and unique designs printed on them.

Why? Episode 182- The Kama Sutra Tantra Chair Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

This week we were planning on talking with AJ Vitaro, the designer of the Tantra Chair, which was designed to help improve the love life of couples around the world.
Unfortunately, AJ was unable to join us, but wrote out his answers to questions we submitted. We then in turn recruited our two Reluctant Executive Producers, John Sauve and Sandy Stone to read AJ's answers for us. What resulted was a fun, informative and fascinating conversation about the design of well-crafted furniture, built to take the lessons from the Kama Sutra and put them forward to help people today enjoy their sex life.
