GRACE FRAGA: All right and we're back here with Chantelle Tibbs from Wear me Naked. I'm Grace Fraga, your host, and I am being abused here and my hands are being painted on. And what we did is we put paint on my right hand and made an imprint here on the T-shirt. And now, Chantelle is going to do the same with my left hand. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yes. GRACE FRAGA: But we're going to use a different color. CHANTELLE TIBBS: We're going to use a different color. Just for the sake of it, I'm going to use another sponge. You want to rinse out your sponge and use the same sponge. You don't have to waste all these sponges. But for the sake of today, I'm going to do this. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. CHANTELLE TIBBS: But make sure that if you have a smaller tweener and a bigger shirt, you should probably have gotten a bigger tweener to begin with. But in my case, I'm going to move the tweener over so that wherever I'm going to paint a new shirt, it doesn't bleed through. So right by that one, she chose orange. I chose light blue so here we go. I'm gonna... GRACE FRAGA: Ooh. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Push this on here. GRACE FRAGA: I'm a child again. I feel like I'm two again. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Oh, yeah. GRACE FRAGA: You can't tell the difference though but I do. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Do you want a light blue spot by the orange? GRACE FRAGA: You know what? That's a great idea 'cause we made a boo-boo here and if we'll make another boo-boo with that other color, that'll be like a signature. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. GRACE FRAGA: It's the Chantelle and Grace T-shirt. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Enough stuff to a boo-boo and it's no longer a boo-boo, it becomes art. GRACE FRAGA: I love it. CHANTELLE TIBBS: So... GRACE FRAGA: This is so much fun. CHANTELLE TIBBS: It's too much fun. And the paint feels really cool on your hands. GRACE FRAGA: Yeah, it really does. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Uh-huh. GRACE FRAGA: It's kinda sexy. CHANTELLE TIBBS: This is like Braveheart when they--oh, that's a lot of paint. But let's see. I just push it in my hand. GRACE FRAGA: Oh, I see. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Here you go. GRACE FRAGA: Okay, so I don't want to drip. All right, so now I am ready to make an imprint. And I'm going to push. Make sure you push your hand hard against the T-shirt so you get the whole imprint. CHANTELLE TIBBS: See, she's becoming an expert. GRACE FRAGA: Yes. CHANTELLE TIBBS: As we speak. And I'm gonna... GRACE FRAGA: I'm learning from my mistakes. CHANTELLE TIBBS: And notice how around the shirt, I always want to make sure my hands are as clean as they can possibly be. You don't want to put too many marks on there 'cause it's too much art and people just know you're lying after a while. GRACE FRAGA: So how long should we leave my hand there, like about 10 seconds and then take it off? CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, you could leave it for another second and it should be good. GRACE FRAGA: Okay. If I leave it a little longer, I feel it's going to be glued... CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah. GRACE FRAGA: ...to the T-shirt. And there it is! CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yay! GRACE FRAGA: Wow, that is awesome. So, we have the Hollywood hands. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, we have the Hollywood hands. And then next, what we're going to do, probably before we even draw this T-shirt, I'm going to give [INDISCERNIBLE]. See how we have a lot of paint here and... GRACE FRAGA: Yes. CHANTELLE TIBBS: ...it looks great. And when it dries, it's going to look fantastic. What we want to do especially when there's a lot of paint like that, you want to dry it. Make sure you're drying it. So that while you're working on it, there's no chance for error. So we're going to dry the shirt but first, she's going to wash her hands. GRACE FRAGA: Definitely. Because look. It's dirty.
