Basket from Skin City
“Skin City was founded in 2006 by artist Robin Slonina, producer and judge on GSN’s hit competition show, Skin Wars. Over the years, she has assembled the most talented, award-winning crew of painters, makeup and hair stylists, photographers, models and circus entertainers in town, to form the best, most unique body painting and event planning service team in the US. Skin City has since organized countless promotions, events, theater fundraisers, photo shoots, fashion shows, parties, conventions, and more.
Skin City’s living art has been featured on scores of television shows — GSN, MTV, Showtime, NatGeo, Travel Channel, Lifetime, etc. — as well as in the Huffington Post, USA Today, Hustler Magazine, Las Vegas Magazine, and the Dallas Observer, just to name a few!
Highly professional, artistic, creative and fun, the Skin City team does single private body painting sessions all the way up to full event planning for hundreds or more. Skin City can create ‘living art’ in any style, to fit whatever theme you can dream up!” – Skin City
Art by Robin Slonina
Robin founded Skin City in 2006 after moving to Las Vegas from Chicago, where she received her degree from the Art Institute of Chicago. Robin serves as the company’s creative guide and mentor. When she’s not body painting, she creates her own paintings and interactive sculptures. Her art has been exhibited internationally at galleries and museums around the world. When not traveling and creating art, she also gives her time and talent to the many charities and community projects she passionately supports. Robin spent three seasons as a producer and judge on GSN’s hit competition show, Skin Wars, alongside Craig Tracy, Rebecca Romijn, and RuPaul. Follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
$100 Atomic Liquors Gift Certificate
“Atomic Liquors is the oldest freestanding bar in Las Vegas. We also operate The Kitchen at Atomic and Atomic City Brews, our festival program, all with the same passion that led the Sobchiks to reopen Virginia’s Cafe as Atomic Liquors in 1952 and spend the rest of their lives serving its patrons.
We want to elevate the Las Vegas craft beer scene, and that goal led us in 2016 to launch Atomic City Brews, a new festival program with a dual mission: to expose Las Vegans to a variety of great beer not readily available in the city, and to expose brewers around the country to the burgeoning craft beer scene here.” –Atomic Liquors

Juanny and Josh started Sunrise Coffee and Mothership Coffee Roasters in 2008 with the idea of bringing the neighborhood coffee shop to Las Vegas. Coffee roasting, producing world class coffee, and cultivating a true sense of community have all become an integral part of Sunrise Coffee. The goal has always been to strive for ethically sourced coffee beans, fair trade practices, and eco-conciousness while having fun along the way!” –Sunrise Coffee
