Model Talk | Wild Things (or models without makeup) ph. Douglas Perrett



Sempre tive um enorme fascínio por polaroids! 
Adoro a forma como parecem capturar a alma das pessoas,
adoro ver os rostos sem retoques, mais próximos daquilo que realmente somos...

Por esse motivo, adorei conhecer as imagens do "Wild Things", 
o livro de Douglas Perrett, famoso director de castings, 
que contém as primeiríssimas polaroids de alguns dos modelos 
que singraram no mundo da moda nos últimos 10 anos.
É engraçado conhecer os rostos antes da fama, quando ainda davam os primeiros passos inseguros!

Gostei também de conhecer algumas das primeiras impressões de Douglas Perrett
de algumas das modelos mais bem sucedidas de hoje, como a Miranda Kerr: 
"She would always do her castings with her blonde friend, 
another Aussie who would always get the job. She never booked the jobs."
e a Candice Swanepoel "Didn't like her; Found her very Barbie-like."
que nos mostram que na moda, como na vida, muitas vezes somos recusados
e temos de ter força para continuar a lutar pelos nossos sonhos!

Também gostam de ver fotos de modelos sem maquilhagem?
Gostaram de conhecer este trabalho? Podem ver ainda mais fotos aqui.

I've always loved polas. They show everybody's true essence
and for me they're the closest thing to capture someones soul!

That's why I adored Douglas Perrett book "Wild Things"
which showcases some of today's most famous models first polaroids!
I found it refreshing to see all those young makeup-less faces,
still innocent and awkwardly trying to find a place in the industry!
And, let's face it, with makeup or not, they were all babes even then!
*Sigh*

A great Sunday to all of you!
Kiss kiss

Este Outono/Inverno não será feito apenas de verde tropa...os tons de verde mais ricos também reinam!
Pessoalmente, adoro, especialmente o hunter green, 
que se pode ver no casaco de pêlo da Abbey Lee Kershaw (5)!
E vocês, gostam do tom ou nem por isso?

Beijinhos

Fall/Winter 2012 season will not only be about olive green! 
The other, richer shades of green, from hunter to forest will also reign!
I personally love the shade of Abbey's coat, it's majestic!
Do you love these shades too?

Kiss kiss

Flowers and pastels


Sweet as spring.

Flora by Gucci "The Garden" campaign
Model: Abbey Lee Kershaw

I pretty much fell off my computer when I saw this.
Okey, I didn't,
but isn't this image the perfect spring fragrance spot?
Pastels, a gorgeous elf (aka Abbey) and flowers.
What more could you ask for?

*******

Caí do meu computador quando vi isto.
Okey, não caí, mas faz de conta. :p
É que esta imagem da campanha dos novos perfumes da Gucci
é PERFEITA para anunciar a Primavera:
os nossos amados pastéis, uma linda elfo (aka abbey) e flores.
Que mais podemos pedir?

Pirelli's Mythology for 2011 is epic already!

I must say I'm impressed! Karl managed to create a piece of art, gather the right models and rise the uproar of many disappointed males. And this time, the reason it's not the "not enough nude" thing, but the fact he managed to add nude male models into the scene. They're a nice addiction, if you ask me! ;) Like the "romance" between Abbey and Freja... Hum, alluring!

Anyway, I was so inspired by this calendar and some of the pics, that I actually wrote a mini story regarding it!

Here's the photo-story:


She came from the water, gently, sensually and all the crowd just gaze. In her eyes there was the unsettling cold of ice, in her body the promise of waves...She was a goddess, I can assure...



The muses just stood there, waiting for their beauty to be requested for the pleasures of the flesh. For a goddess can't be touched, but they can.



Suddenly, the arrow of war turned into a weapon of love, and two souls met their hearts.



"Don't leave me", she whispers quietly. "You know I couldn't, baby! I'm yours..."



Meanwhile, lost hearts satisfy their lust, covering their ears to the yells of the Gods. They all know they'll perish soon, but what's life without a bit of fun?



What's life without the flames hurting your scales, making your skin melt, until you can only submerge into your desire and explode into fluid?



"Come, my lover, let's go... The hell is the destiny for those who actually live."



I may burn in flames now, but remember, honey, I was there when you first kissed!
