Natalie Gulbis became the first female golfer to appear in SI Swimsuit Issue. If that wasn't enough she did it in style: with body paint.

Gulbis said to Golf.com that "SI came back to me sometime after (the first meeting) and said, "O.K., we’ve decided we’re going to body-paint athletes. Does that sound like something you’d like to be a part of?' It was an honor, and it was exciting."

Nat-Nat's decision brought attention to her tour, the LPGA, but also this question: Who else fans want to see in body paint?
