canopy//"rarities"
Canopy is a fig-licking, buddha-loving, sun drenched violinist, and absolutely no one on this earth is just like her. When one lives life as poetically as Canopy, it follows that anything created will be beautiful just by nature of its rarity, and her self-reflective gaze is just that kind of special.

sequin_smut & lunar//"villainesque_1"
In my ultimate imaginary comic book, Sequin_Smut and Lunar star as the hottest, baddest bitches to ever attempt world domme-ination, and this is their seemingly abandoned lair. In a stunning plot twist, one by one all the pansy-ass heroes come crawling on their knees to join this deliciously depraved duo and... well I'll let you fill in those blanks for yourself.

sookie//"organics"
Sookie's near obsession with all things biological encouraged us to examine her on that essential, nearly cellular level, and we quickly came to the conclusion that a more perfect specimen for our observations simply doesn't exist in nature. What we wouldn't give to be a certain carnivorous plant right now...

gabriela//"hue_infusion"
The de- and re- saturation effect Gabriela has invoked here has the effect of animating her, as if she were breathing colour instead of air. As she inhales she fills with warmth until we can almost see her blood pulsing through her body, and exhaling, returns to a dormant black and white, a representation of a representation of beauty.

Susie-Q//"magic_trick"
After realising that a slightly ridiculous amount of time had gone by and we were still looking at the first picture of this folio, we figured out that Susie-Q has powers. Able to hypnotise without trying, she's got the kind of eyes that stop us dead in our tracks - which is a shame because we would like to linger a little on everything else she's got going on.

syl//"doppelgangers"
Syl and her reflection are pros, combining mirrors with the camera lens to simultaneously tease and reveal bits and pieces of each other. This unique set draws you in and pulls you through picture by picture, until you're not quite sure which girl is which.

jamiee//"edgy"
Pressing the edged lines of her scissors against the delicate curve of lip, tongue, belly and breast, Jamiee explores the fascinating resilience of her softest and most fragile parts. Excellent framing and her sparse, clean beauty takes our attention off of sharpness and directly through to her overwhelming femininity.

lui_Vonstrom//"colouredcrumbs"
We are having trouble deciding if it's love, or just our collective tummy rumbling. Seriously, this is one folio that presents a most wonderful kind of conundrum - a visual feast of bright colors and sweet things served up with so much yummy prettiness that we barely know where to start.

licks//"pretty_please"
Licks is a full time, self-proclaimed people pleaser, the kind of girl with a knack for looking around and knowing just how to best oblige a crowd. By turning up with just the kind of natural sunlit shoot we're suckers for around here, we think she's proven that she's quite good at her job.

cybele//"sea-devil" Video
Cybele shows us how those rare glittery silvery sea pirates do their ISM photo shoots - and begs an interesting question at the same time. If you were to cut yourself open, just what, exactly, do you think you'd find inside? Cybele, being the most self-aware pink piratey wench we've ever met, is nice enough to share her personal answer.

Bambi_c//"spa_dreams"
Wow. If we had the kind of luxury here at HQ that Bambi_c does at home, we reckon we'd pull all the blinds, jump in the spa bath, and keep updating while we soaked away. We don't, though, so we will just live vicariously through Bambi_c - and what a lovely life it is...

hellfire //"midway"
It looks like Hellfire shares, in part, our obsession with various states of undress. A single article of clothing paused somewhere between being taken off or pulled on, is so suggestive of motion that our imaginations tend to take still images like these and animate them. Who needs video?

applerose//"delighted"
Coming across photos of Applerose is one of those simple things in life that just makes us feel good. Her smile promises permanence, so that even when she's being a bit serious it is somehow present in her image. Or maybe she just likes shooting herself so much, she can't help but show it - either way, an Applerose day is a good day.

vivianne//"baroque"
Red and black, those endlessly stimulating colors we associate with such passionate things as gothic intimate apparel, baroque candlelit dinners and luxurious midnight encounters, seem to be suited perfectly to Vivianne. Complementing the existing play of color between her hair and her lips, there is something so wonderfully adult about such a dramatic palette.

Mollymay//"essentia"
Mollymay is a girl to whom the sensualities and textures of life are obviously important. Between her words and her photos, we are transported to a world of sunlit dust motes, care-worn leather, unselfconscious charm and all the long lazy hours we could possibly want to contemplate them.
