Some guys work really hard on their bodies and know all too well that one day their Apollonian beauty will fade. So a new cottage industry has emerged to preserve their perfect male torsos. It’s called body casting. Companies like Viking Torso in Los Angeles will cast you for about $175. All you have to do is get completely shaved down, slathered in liquid rubber, and then coated in plaster. The whole process takes about 90 minutes, and the result is a light-weight sculpture that, I guess, you hang on the wall. They will also cast your back side if you feel that you’ve got the assets to show. If you don’t, you can still buy one of another, more well appointed, male figure. This is part of a trend on self-made body art. Also see my post on pregnant belly art.  I think that the best part of the process is that the plastic shows every detail. you can see the ripple of each ab and even the little bumps around the nippled.

My cast would look more like a 9 months pregnant about to deliver, lol. |

I think it is such a hot idea, I love it! In gold or silver, for the masterbedroom bathroom, one of him, and one of her! |

I actually don't think its very vain (its a bit vain). People take so many pictures of themselves, this is just a different art form. I would do it when I get my 6-pack stomach ready. |
