poulette//"levitate"
Poulette towers over her viewers in this skyward-bound set, assuring us that a bird's-eye view's got nothing over a ground-level position, at least when it comes to this particular subject matter. And that, in moderation, a rush of blood to the head can be a very good thing indeed.

betty_mae & loki//"tonal_1"
Betty Mae and Loki each take a simple thing - the other's flesh - and make marvels of it. Their use of patterns, alternating limbs and the possibilities for symmetry when two bodies connect is just stunning, and their playful, exploratory approach makes us feel like we've just gone to a tumble class.

roxy_cooper//"vagabond"
As she totes herself from place to place, enjoying expanses both skyward and seaward, Roxy Cooper enjoys a certain liberation that can only be granted by solitude. The whole 'no-one's watching' feeling can really free you from heavy hangups and awkwardnesses, which gives Roxy that light-as-a-feather sort of joy.

gabriela//"divan"
Gabriela has an elegance about her that can make the shabbiest backyard armchair look like an antique chaise lounge. That smoky-eyed, serious beauty just draws you into another place, another era - and this time she didn't even dress the part.

fiona_n//"inkblot"
It's all very psychological, really. Fiona_N gives ISM a Rorschach test today, and not a one of us has come up with anything apart from 'naked lady'. Are we sex-obsessed, or is this whole thing rigged? A little from Column A, a little from Column B, perhaps?

crystaleyes//"turningpoint"
She keeps us wanting for the details, but Crystaleyes tells us that she's undergone something of a revolution in her recent history. And what better way to commemorate the old and burst into the new than to Shoot Oneself?

kalua//"altar"
Kalua is her own deity, and she pays much love and respect to the body she inhabits. Today she offers a few tokens to this great force of creation, and by the time she's finished we're sure there'll be a queue of you waiting to place your own gifts on the altar.

greenkat//"only_skin"
Greenkat loves the skin she inhabits, and while she had to think long and hard about her appearance on I Shot Myself, she eventually came to the conclusion that, well, it's only skin. A surface, a border - nothing to get too contemplative over, right?

magnolia//"interlace"
Magnolia simply would not be Magnolia without the intricate accompaniment of lace. She literally and figuratively rolls around in the stuff at every chance, and the symbolism of its flawless, integral weavings seems to stimulate her endlessly.

Roe//"liquid_desire" Video
Roe has already established her considerable skills as a photographer and model, so now she's upping the ante by demonstrating another facet of her endlessly intriguiging persona. A bag of shiny new paints, a girl-size canvas, and a huge warehouse all to herself bring out the best in Roe - the liquidy, grungey, splashy, foot-stomping best.

dream_weaver//"flourishings"
Where Dream_Weaver comes from, April showers bring May flowers, and she used this perfect opportunity to document the various blossomings that were occurring when springtime took hold. These images are so alive, so luscious, a visual representation of the heady scent of its subjects.

conswailer//"stealth_mode"
It appears as though the cheetah is Conswailer's spirit animal, and as much as she attempts to invoke its stealthy prowlings and clever camouflage, she still stands out, no matter where she places herself. There's not much she can do about it, really - she's just too easy to notice.

elayne//"ruffles"
Our beloved Elayne has outdone herself again. With the strategic use of a loose, ruffly skirt and the sunshine that seems to just follow her around (seriously - have you ever even seen her on a cloudy day?), she'd get away with murder - or just some inappropriate playground behaviour.

parkerposey//"postures"
Parkerposey is aptly self-titled. A lady with such an awareness of the shapes of her own body would certainly know how to pose it, and she makes sure her viewer gets the full effect of each little stop in the motion of her first ISM creation.

kitty_lane//"lavish_me"
Kitty_Lane gathered the most luxurious things she could find in order to stimulate her viewers both visually and texturally. Her affinity for bold colours and flourishing prints adds a certain weight to her petite frame, a substantial quality she has been generous to share.
