zizoo //"spectacle"
Zizoo's our post-modern carnivalesque It girl, rocking the pinkest plastic triceratops, the shiniest suspenders, the sharpest bed of nails... well, maybe the only bed of nails. She's never been one to shy away from a bit of discomfort in her mission to stand apart from the pack.

lechatnoir//"vantage_point"
Lechatnoir woke up conflicted - a cheeky exhibitionistic urge combined with the desire to spy on people left her unsure how to spend her day. Fortunately, a little self-portraiture while she watches the crowds below ensures that she has no need to compromise on either inclination.

meow & um...//"indiscreet_1"
Meow and Um never have to worry about becoming the couple that schedules sex into their weekly routine. Every time they see each other buttons pop open, bra-straps snap, and stitches just unravel like magic, leaving them constantly in an ideal state to shoot one of the hottest ISM duets we've ever seen.

moiselle//"escape_artist"
Moiselle was a little concerned about the potential for peeping toms, but that brick wall just looked so good she couldn't resist stopping for a bit of a shoot. Solution? Bring your ladders, ladies, and scramble up and away at the first sign of unwelcome observers.

fraya//"dusk2dawn"
We love Fraya's night shots from this folio. We can just imagine her, wide-eyed and wide awake, a rare nocturnal creature frolicking in the jungle when the sun goes down. It's not every day we have the privilege of seeing a wild Fraya in her natural habitat, so don't miss this chance, folks.

alanna //"aw_yehh"
'Awwwwwwyehh' might have been more appropriate, but the state of Victoria won't let you put that many letters on a vanity plate. Alanna will probably evoke your cat calls and wolf whistles as she drives by in her Awyehh-mobile, and she might even be nice enough not to flip you off when she hears you.

ted//"uncomplica_ted"
After getting a taste of Mad Ted, running around the barren hillsides with that big rifle strapped to her back, it feels so good to come back to Ted's original territory of softness and color. It's the layered personalities that make her so intriguing, and we can't wait to see what she'll turn up as next.

honeybird//"fleece"
Photos of Honeybird have this fleeting, drowsy beauty, so that looking through them is kind of like singing a visual lullaby. In fact, everyone who's seen this folio so far is asleep under their desks right now, big angelic smiles on their faces, dreaming of honeybirds. So if the site is a bit slow today, at least you know why.

applepit//"play_by_play"
Applepit's proposed a failsafe solution for those lackluster days we all have sometimes. All you have to do is wait until the kiddies are home in bed, and then ambush their play areas. A heap of colorful plastic balls and some giant furry feet are enough to abolish even the most persistent ennui.

mahalia//"puppy_love"
We've heard a lot of reasons for why people participate in the ISM project - for self-esteem, for the artiness of it all, to change the world or just because it turns them on - but we have never in the history of ISM heard any reason quite as cute as Mahalia's.

sally_taylor//"priceless"
We love it when a folio like Sally Taylor's comes along, illustrating that old saying about the worth of a photograph. In this case, though, it's not words but pure value we see - rich with color and vibrant with life, Sally Taylor reminds us that real wealth is found in experiences which can be as simple as a single afternoon, au naturel in a field of golden flowers.

Daughter//"supermodel" Video
"I started modeling to feel better about myself, and I felt better about myself because I started modeling." Daughter is fascinating as ever, effortlessly slinging both sexy big words and sexy black lingerie at us until our eyes are rolling back like a cartoon wolf at a Betty Boop burlesque show.

idolodi//"mountainfresh"
This is just how they make 'em in Vermont - laced through with a hefty dose of maple syrup, and imbued with so much fresh air they practically glow. Idolodi is such a gorgeous product of her environment, Vermont should put her picture on their license plates to generate tourism - we'd follow any such car straight back to its homeland.

leayah//"spun_silk"
Leayah says she jumped at the opportunity to engage playfully with the world at large through this project, and that's a great reason to shoot yourself. Still, we're pretty sure she didn't mind playing dress up in her silkiest things and striding leisurely around her garden, either. After all, sometimes making a statement can feel damn good.

cam_damage//"ode_to_self"
We were immediately struck by the down-to-earth physicality at work in these photos, an ode to Cam_Damage's body in which she demonstrates its shapes and sings its praises. Through her own eyes she describes herself as a limber, unfolding presence, taller than a tree - all lengths, flats, and generous curves revealed with intention, shot by shot.
