tuna//"undress_prep"
Looks like Tuna got a bit frisky while playing on her computer, and decided to get some errands done - ISM style. A run to the laundromat and back provides some cheeky entertainment as well as good practice, and when the sun comes up in the morning, she's ready with her A-game.

fiona_n & violet_venom//"gigglefest_1"
Nothing says lovin' like a good slime party. Fiona N and Violet Venom can always count on each other for a vacation from good behavior, breaking rule after rule until there's nothing to do but laugh. This is just the practice round, next time you see them; they're taking the party to city hall.

nicoline//"pitter_pattern"
Nicoline's making a great case for ginger on gingham, even though we never would have put them together ourselves. We just can't deny the practicals: besides the fact that there's no wrong side to gingham, Nicoline gets to feel like she's on her own private picnic, anytime she snuggles up in bed.

funky_maxine//"shear_bliss"
Funky_Maxine was already pushing boundaries before she went all Sinead on those long luscious locks, and now that she's shook off that last vestige of 'what girls are supposed to look like', there are no limits to her creativity. A girl with nothing to hide behind finds that she's got nothing to hide, after all.

roxy_cooper//"polish"
A glimpse into Roxy_Cooper's home reveals a woman who thrives on sophistication. Elegance is in the details - the way she touches her lips with color before she sits gracefully at her piano, her sheet music scattered with flowers, an incidental chandelier - casual touches which infuse her world with grace.

belette//"jenesaisquoi"
We seem to be getting an influx of French contributors lately, and they are all impossibly hot and doubly creative, challenging their rivals to step up if they're going to defend their national pride. Belette, effortlessly beautiful, just ups the ante yet again, and les filles francaises are off...

roe//"murmur"
The whispering, weightless textures of tulle and feather-thin seed pods illuminate this set, playing off Roe's own delicacy in an ethereal celebration of transience and fragile beauty. I find myself holding my breath as I absorb these photos, careful not to blow them away.

candy_sweets//"naked_truth" Video
The beauty of ISM is that it is a multidimensional platform, where contributors can express themselves in any way they please. For Candy_Sweets, being naked means really baring it all - the hope, the hurt, and the whole truth - even when it's not all rainbows and giggle parties. Catharsis comes in many forms, and being privy to hers touches a deep emotional place for all of us.

BB//"open_arms"
For some ISM artists, the 'stripping away' of clothing is also a way of excavating through those layers of body-negative socialization most of us receive. But it was never that way for BB. This is a return to everything she's ever known about physicality, and she embraces it with open arms.

projectoria//"equanimity"
There's a harmony to the luxury Projectoria surrounds herself with, a balance of beauty drawn together seemingly without effort. She's set out with a noble goal of bringing joy into the ordinary, so it makes sense that she would start with her own environment, and expand from there.

pearl//"star_debut"
Pearl's been practicing her killer dance moves in secret, but a diva this dynamic could never be content to stay unknown for long. Since her choreography was designed between shower and sink, ISM is a perfect way to burst into the spotlight - without losing those great tile acoustics.

pauline//elusive"
Where in the world is Pauline? She's an elusive one, the kind of girl that slips as easily into disguise as she slips out of her clothes. With just a flip of her hat she has become someone else, somewhere else - but it's no deterrent. We'd search the world twice over in hopes of seeing her again.

rara//"caffeinated"
We dream of a day when we go get our morning lattes and Rara's at the counter in her lace and blue kneesocks. Coffee is infinitely more effective when it's served by beautiful girls, but anyway it would be impossible to stay sleepy after a glimpse of that fire-bright coiffure.

shayma//"thrive"
Shayma nestles against damp sand and rough-barked trees the way you or I might collapse gratefully into a cushy armchair at the end of a long day. That's ever the way with goddesses - nature becomes them, and the more wild the elements, the more fiercely their beauty shines.
