Photos


I was having a bad day back in March and was having a hard time disassociating but in this one I don't think I totally suck:Image by Emma WilcoxMakeup Jennifer CoronaHair by MoniqueOutfit Atsuko KudoI think the reason I'm weird about these photos is that I felt vulnerable that day (not because of anything at the shoot, mind you) and I had a hard time hiding it, which makes me look uncomfortable in almost every single picture. I guess they seem more honest than usual, because 9 times out of 10 I'm just acting. I'm more accustomed to dealing in fantasy rather than reality.Other stuff:Makeup and Pics by Nelly Recchia who is like the most awesomest person EVER. This is our 2nd collaboration:All that sugar made me drool all over myself. No shit. GALLONS of it. And the sugar crash was ridiculous.Then on the opposite side of the spectrum they posted this candid of me over at Suze.net (also in Atsuko)

I absolutely love it. Youre amazing.The colours, the textures, the warmth, the patterns. Everything. The latex almost doesnt even look like latex! Beautiful. I think this has to be one of my favourites! Do you have any more from this shoot that you could possibly share?

2nd one is funnnnn!dude, that lace print so wears off. i was so bummed when mine started to. especially right around the gut where it can be easily seen. :(

yeah, im afraid to wear it, because nearing a pricetag 1400 USD I think I'll go into a deep depression if that happens.

Really nice photos, I love the Emma Wilcox work !

goldfisheh said...

yeah but if u dont wear it, u cant enjoy it as much!just get lots of things that match the accessories!that's what i realized is best!kind of like old lady coordinates at the local searsbut a little more pricey;)

although I love the spookiness of 2 & 3, 1 is my fave of these 4. something about it makes me want to run in and hug you. the colors are so warm, and inviting. the last one is the D I always think of. happy...

throughwinter said...

holy mackerel!the 'vulnerable' one is really very exquisite. instant new fave.and nelly is a magician for sure! :)you look wonderfully surreal in those.

WOWZA!!! that first shot is so, so fucking pure & beautiful...Yu can defen see that it's the real yu coming accross as opposed to the more acted stuff...

twenthowohytone said...

They're all gorgeous as usual. The first one is something new though. :) A really raw kind of juxtaposition of your really genuine, human expression and the quite frothy set and costume. I like it... Fuckin' Atsuko makes me want to punch my mom. ;-)

unhyphtaaeedcanndian said...

I love the candid. You look so happy it is beautiful.

the nelly and the candid shot are great, there's a personality to those pics. i think the thing i like about your earlier work that's been missing in your more recent stuff/disassociated stuff is YOU.

kbeapataknoleh said...

Aw, bless, I don't think you look vulnerable. That was in that house you were telling me about, right?And Nelly is awesome on so many levels.

I think you misinterpreted what I said a bit. When I model, I don't disassociate myself ever, I try to bring myself into each and every thing I do. What I meant about the first shoot is that if I'm having a bad day or a personal issue--I usually try not to bring my personal problems into a shoot situation and try to be professional and do my job and create, despite whatever outside bullshit might be occurring (ie. if I'm in a "bad mood" before a shoot, I usually can snap myself out of it and show up and do the task at hand without bringing my baggage into it). I'm usually good at doing that--that day there was no "faking it" whatsoever, which was surprising since that never happened before and I was especially perplexed that I wasn't able to pull it together for someone I'm totally comfortable with and have collaborated with so often.

Thanks, I was having a really hard time that day and that, compounded with guilt for sucking was totally fucking with my head! Me and Marla are great friends so I was worried about letting her down. But I think she managed to pull a few decent shots out of me

working over at Suze's is always such a joy I'm always smiling over there, which is good because it's a long and a fucking EARLY day.

ntocineev said...

Nah, these ones are in that crazy hotel that I've shot at before (and the one Lilly came to as well). I haven't edited ANY of the shots from the crazy house yet because that day I sucked even HARDER. LOL, thankfully I can shoot there again!You should totally work with Nelly if ya can, she'd go nuts with you and she's a great person to hang with. I can actually feel my IQ rise when we talk.

barelydiz said...

wow a very nice session... splendid concept!

deluksz556yahoocom said...

your so very beautiful, I think the vulnerable side is one of my favs sounds sorta obscure of me but I love images that show expression.. but then again your great in everything

leaughs60 said...

You've somehow managed to make flies glamorous. How'd you manage that?

artofkkyaaing said...

Actually, I got to hang out with her, she's a great lass! She did make-up on one of my shoots that I wasn't present at (the Lumi one).

c3ncera7 said...

you're only human. the pic you posted from that day has a beautiful quality to it regardless.

ptgmkp98yahoocom said...

i love that lace print latex. too bad the pattern doesn't hold up. and i see what you mean about the first shot. it looks more candid, like you weren't toally ready for it. That's not necessarily a bad thing.and you look just like jeff goldblum in the second and third. really. i swear.

Beautiful - just beautiful.
