wow, kate.

back. ;-)

for a lot of bloggers out there, i'm sure you know how sometimes real (i.e. tangible) life gets in the way and, when priorities must be clearly defined, it's so often that the blog is the one that is stashed at the bottom of the to-do pile. 


so boo me for having gone on month-long (and a bit) hiatus, but- yay me!- i'm back to blogging form. gosh, i do hope that with my crazy-busy college life (sure you college students understand this) i can still maintain some type of regularity with blogging--but i guess, only time will tell.


but, for now, i have managed to get some time on my hands, and i bequeath to you groovy pics of abbey lee as a returning tribute. ;-) 


(i hope you all lovelies are doing fine in your corners of the world!)

abbey lee is a strange creature. i wasn't captured by her immediately--nor am i sure that she has now. she takes  captivating pictures, she does have a signature look about her...but i still can't seem to figure her out that well.

maybe that's what you call the "it" factor, eh?

how do you find abbey lee? 

what makes a model an "it" model? luck of the draw? sign of the times? is there a scientific way we can predict which models get famous, and which ones remain on local clothing catalogues? or is the fashion industry just fucking with us, and we're going for the ride?

hansel.gretel.and.lady.gaga.

us vogue (yes, really!). 

shot by leibovitz. styled by coddington.

 modeled by cole, garfield, & ms. gaga. 

i love the strange vision for the retelling of hansel & gretel. and lady gaga as the cannibalistic witch is inspired. leibovitz, for me, is in her best form when she captures fairy tale retellings (see vodianova in alice in wonderland).

it's strange, funny, weird, and at the same time so familiar and intimate.

natalia.by.mario.

natalia vodianova through the eyes of mario testino usually ends up looking flawless. her form, his vision, the bouffant layers, the romanticism of the backdrop with an undertone of elegant messiness (if there's such a thing!).

this editorial never gets old for me. there's so much opportunity here. every time i see this, my heart melts just a little. you just wanna fall in love. :-)

dree.hemingway.vmag.

didnt think she had it in her, but these images have made me change my mind. she aint just the great-granddaughter of ernest hemingway anymore. she may just have a bright future in modeling. ;-)

the new bleached-blonde/dark-eyebrow look seems to have made her edgier, whaddyathink?

vmagazine

natalia&hedi.vmag.

not so much about clothes as one can see. but its true to form with what natalia (wide-eyed innocence mixed with sensuality) and hedi (up-close intimacy) do best.  


and i adore how natalia's scar on her right hip bone is not airbrushed.

just in time for halloween. 
goodbye to fangs and blood-red lips for now.
let's do something different. an eerie throwback. 

so different and unexpected it haunts you.
a different kind of fright. one that stays. 

and lingers.
