Fin de L'artiste

One random Saturday night last week my friend Alex and I got together and were drinking wine as we tend to do. Having nothing to do we decided to play around and take some photographs. I happen to had recently purchased some nude tights for a photo idea and this seemed like the perfect time to make it happen. Using just a plain white wall in my room, a desk lamp, tights, lipstick and of course wine we managed to come out with some pretty beautiful photos that I turned into a short story entitled The End of the Artist or Fin de L'artiste (for some reason or another we decided it sounded better in French). These photos were also a continued experimentation from my shoot with Janely that I featured in yesterday's post as I'm sure you can see the unquestionable similarities. It seemed relevant to share this story after my discussion on the institutions and their effect on artists and their work so this story became about the destruction of the artist. Enjoy.

Summer Life

This coming week I am going to be taking a break from the blog to go on my last relaxing vacation before I start my final semester of college. I'll be going back home to Savannah, Georgia and you can expect to see a ridiculous amount of pictures in the upcoming weeks but for now I thought I would show you a ridiculous amount of pictures from my summer thus far. Obviously this is just a small compilation of the photos I've been taking all summer but consider it a taste of what I've been looking at these past 3 months. Enjoy and see you all in a week!

Get the Skinny

When I was modeling I was always complimented on my skin's clearness, especially for being so fair. However when I do break out it's massive and EXTREMELY obvious. Swelling, redness, and spreading to every orifice around the affected area. Even though I'm no longer modeling my skin care regime is of dire importance to me, especially when living in an area that sweating obtrusively is normal and clogged pores are more common than we would care for. Thanks to tips from make-up artist's I have been using green tea cleansers to lessen the redness in my breakout's and it's perfect for those oily-dry skinned individuals out there (you know who you are) as it evens out the oily and dry parts to a pristine "normal" skin tone. I would swear by it in court I am so sure of it.
