New Releases

Reggi got a little carried away with the tinsel and the bubbly in the process of hanging her Christmas decorations. And why shouldn't she? One has to find little ways to let go in this silly season of high stress and wallet-emptying.

The darkness of the water from which Kylie H emerges is intoxicatingly appealing, and we can see why she seems to have spent considerable time there. The unknown is inviting, undulating, compelling, and we are just as eager to dive right in.

Finger-painting is just soooo pre-school. We're lucky that this paint-plastered little imp popped up just in time to show us how the grownups do it - turns out that it takes more than 10 digits to wow the panel. Any critic who isn't satisfied after watching Lunar bring us up to date on the topic of modern art probably isn't worth their weight in watercolors.

Paging through Goulistan's folio is more like watching an animation than a series of still photos. Her bittersweet, autumnal theme comes through as if her modeling were an interpretive dance, and her photography a kind of liaison between partners - enfolding her and her audience into one perceptual mood.

With Alisha_x being such a great contributor, we're starting to feel a lot like family - so it makes sense that she would think to send us a lil' Xmas care package around this time of year. There's nothing that says holiday cheer quite like ISM's darling in a Santa hat, stamping her feet, blowing frost circles on her window, and getting cuddly with her Christmas tree. Happy Holidays!

Immie's mandarin dream has all of the textural satisfaction of an easy-peel rind and those perfect little jewels into which the fruit separates. A very suitable tree-ripened complement to the fresh glow of her skin, which is occasionally hard to distinguish from the flesh of the fruit.

It seems like everywhere Applerose goes just bursts into bloom, turning into a verdent paradise no matter what she does. Fortunately, seeing green doesn't have to be a bad thing, and equal parts chlorophyll and her own charms make this set picture-perfect.

Apple G strikes a balance between explicit seriousness and her more mischievous, playful side. Sometimes being under the lens can actually release you, allowing you to push the boundaries of your expression, and you don't know how it'll manifest until you get there.

Everybody wants to go to Japan. But only Manko would go and bring back these sorts of travel photos. As ever, her technical prowess is matched only by her artistic design and her penchant for touches of gloss and glitter where ever-so-applicable.

The Craft Revolution is in full swing, and Delilee is one of many who have found plenty of gratifying ways to incorporate craftiness into modern life. Delilee's is probably one of the more 'out there' choices, but we'd contend that it's also the most interesting.

Jamie_Banks and Briannah know what boys like, and they're not afraid to flaunt it. These girls are experts in the ancient art of flirtation, scoring technical 10s in all the arenas - enough lipstick kisses, teasing winks, hair flips, and sidelong glances to take home the gold medals, the tiaras, the flowers, and if they wanted to, all of the judges as well.

This dove is very much a homebody, and while she admits to have been doing a little bit of adventure-seeking in appearing on ISM, she just happens to find plenty of it within her own four walls.

There seems to be no shortage of perky Kiwis in this world. Anjelica is a delight to get to know, and earnest as the day is long (or short, as it may be so far down into the southern hemisphere). She and her alfresco surrounds are perfect pick-me-ups for this time of yearly energy lows.

Oh, to have the luxury of 'working' on your tan. Gezzie's got her work cut out for her, that's for sure, and we with our eye strain and RSIs from mouse-clicking are - yeah, we admit it - a tad jealous.
