Justine Lai Paints Herself Having Sex With Every American President in Chronological Order

In an effort to "humanize" our nation's leaders, San Francisco painter Justine Lai has stripped them naked and done very naughty things to them.

In a project that can seem dirty, provocative, shocking and weirdly hot (maybe to someone who really likes history), Lai depicts herself in the throes of carnal passion with a series of American presidents. Lai refuses to shy away from the subject matter as she paints herself being spanked by Ulysses S. Grant, cuddling Martin Van Buren, and... well I won't even talk about what she's doing to Abraham Lincoln or James Buchanan. If you'd like to check out the entire (decidedly NSFW!) collection, check out her site at justinelai.com.

The collection is called Join or Die and Lai says in the artist statement posted on her Web site: "The presidency itself is a seemingly immortal and impenetrable institution; by inserting myself in its timeline, I attempt to locate something intimate and mortal."

 For now, here are a few of the more tame samples.

Martin Van Buren


George Washington


John Quincy Adams
