Cynthia Westwood’s Nude Bathroom Pict … Er, Paintings

Maybe it's the dust that the sandman left in our eyes, or something we drank last night -- but our vision must be a little wonky this morning, because we were halfway through this gallery of photographs of naked babes in the tub before we realized that that they aren't actually photographs at all, but paintings of naked babes in the tub. Yes, Cynthia Westwood's art style is so realistic that you could be forgiven for getting confused or even for fantasizing that these are real flesh and blood women who you just happened to find in your bathroom. You can see for yourself online, in her book, or in a gallery in Switzerland (until April 7, anyway), but try to remember that you should not attempt to feel up any of the actual images. We already learned that lesson the hard way.
