The iPhone 5 and body paint

Jessica Mellow, a body-paint model and artist (that's her on the right fully made up), has become something of a regular line sitter at the Apple events in New York. But Mellow objects to being described as a "publicity seeker."

Mellow acknowledges accepting a free iPhone from the company that sponsored her, electronics reseller Gazelle. But she says she's no iPhone-y. According to her, she loves iPhones and the adventure of camping out and would have done it had she not found a sponsor. I'll leave it up to readers to decide.

What is undeniable is that Mellow has interesting pursuits.
