PAUL NEWMAN

hud - one of my favorite movies


there's nothing sexier than a white t and jeans on a man.

these are from a book i have called jeans of heroes by gilles lehote and christian audigier (yes that one).

BALLERINAS

i was totally smitten by this editorial in interview april 2010. shot by craig mcdean modeled by freja beha erichsen. a beautiful juxtaposition of soft and feminine with hard and slightly raw. soft ruffles with leather. pink with black. pretty but dirty. the shoes are the best...from david samuel menkes. beautifully styled. i'll have to find out who the sylist was.



love the chalk dusted arms

KIM BASINGER

i couldn't help posting this picture of kim basinger that i styled - i don't know when- after i read tracy's post here. she was sooo beautiful and sooo insecure which is why she is sooo covered up. from here.

i'll post more from that shoot when i find them.
