subject: Your Zentai For The Camera [print this page] Dustin Sanders of Ruston, La., loads his weapon with pink, orange and yellow paintballs, takes aim and fires. His target: a $500 partially beaded wedding gown worn by his bride of 4 months, Jessica. As the paint blasts onto her gown, Jessica, 26, screams. Then she holds up a paintball gun and fires back, leaving her groom bruised and painted pink. A Lycra Spandex Yellow Spiderman Costume Outfit Zentai with Black photographer captures it all, then follows the couple as they wash off in a fountain. "It's different, and we're pretty unconventional," said Jessica, adding that she and her new husband didn't want to destroy the costume zentai - just capture some unusual pictures that reflect their sense of fun. "Trash The Costume zentai" photo shoots like this have become an offbeat phenomenon across the country. In many, brides in white gowns simply pose where they're bound to get wet or dirty: in the surf, in trees, in cornfields, on horses, in trash-strewn city alleys, on boxcars, on tractors. Photographers say most such shoots aren't necessarily about destroying or damaging the costume zentai. "It is just taking it in a place that you wouldn't normally go. Not worrying about it too much," said photographer Adam Hudson of Ridgeland, Miss., who has shot recent Navy Blue Front Open PVC Unisex Catsuit-trashes in the mud and at the State Fair. "I think that a lot of brides are getting tired of the stand-in-front-of-the-altar shots," he said. Racheal Hollowell, who shot the Sanders' paintball adventure with her husband, Eddie Hollowell, agreed. "'Trash the costume zentai is such a harsh term," she said, adding that most brides opt for just a dip in a swimming pool, and the costume zentai are usually salvageable. A year ago, Louisiana-based photographer Mark Eric created a Web site devoted to the Trash the Costume zentai trend. "It's about creation, not destruction," declares the site, which has led to two sister sites: Trash the Costume zentai Europe and Trash the Navy Blue Velvet Unisex Zentai Suit Australia. The U.S. site features pages of photos from around the country. David Baxter of Ohana Photography in San Diego wrote on the site that such shoots are "about letting a bride express her beauty in the costume zentai she has dreamt of wearing for so long, but will put away all too quickly."
