kara_d//"flores"
50 years down the track and she hasn't changed a bit - ISM's 'heirloom' is back in a more here-and-now sort of form, catching a few rays in just the right ways - see 057 for that perfect confluence of light, body, and lens. Nice to see that she's aged so well, eh?

violet_lash//"39_lashes"
We feel whipped right into shape by this deft display of familiarity with colour, light, and movement. The alignment of sexuality with creation that appears to inform Violet_Lash's work gives form to some of the most painfully erotic stuff we've seen - love and fury bathed in an amber glow.

janise//"hot2handle" Video
While 'gee, it's hot in here' is often just an excuse, Janise is actually being quite literal - if you've ever experienced an Australian 40-degree day, you'll understand where's she's coming from. And probably think she's nuts for coming out of the aircon.

annabel//"weirdscience"
Annabel expresses so very much in her images, and for someone who didn't 'get' the spirit of ISM right from the get-go, she sure has become an exemplary contributor. Here she reveals a little more of her geeky side, but in a way that maintains that completely unpostured sexiness we've come to associate with her work.

skram//"the_glitz"
Every woman deserves the opportunity to contextualise herself, and
Skram seems to take any chance she can get. This is an exploration of her identity in a context she writes herself, and we hope she looks back with attention to what she chose to emphasize.

roxy_heart//"for_kicks"
Far enough away from the city's roar to get a moment's peace, Roxy_heart and her kickin high-tops get back to nature in more ways than one. It's a bit fresh out there - a stark contrast to her cozy first set - but she can grin and bear it better than most.

jessabelle//"venus_in_furs"
We're not sure which 'side of her personality' Jessabelle was hoping to explore, but perhaps she's a little more '50s pinup queen' than she even realised. She's got just the right attitude (and the proper shade of lipstick) to pull it off...is this perhaps your 'Bettie Page', Jessabelle?

marlow//"escapade"
Many an artist will tell you that the time spent creating is often time lost to the normal, everyday sense of chronology most of us have. It's a whole other state of being when you're truly wrapped up in it, one we think Marlow has worked herself into here.

melody_p//"ornamental"
Try as she might, Melody_p can never be simply ornamental. She's too damned clever for that. Some ladies are just too smart to play the feminine 'figurine', even when it could be used to their advantage. Not to worry, though - she'll still have them swooning, being just who she is.

anahera//"felicite"
Anahera's ever-present smile is what really sticks out about this folio, and the joy expressed in her images is such a nice counter-argument to those pouty faces that seem to scowl out from every magazine cover these days. Smiles are the easiest kind of sexy - why not indulge?

naima & Alexia_LaRo//"sandscapes_1"
When you go for a little holiday with your bestie, you don't usually expect to come home with photos like these, but Naima & Alexia_LaRo have always done things a bit differently. Take their rather interesting rules on the court, for example, in their video 'StripTennis'. Seems like everything they do together lacks the clothing normally required for the activity.

raven_decay//"sexandcandy"
A little irreverence never hurt anyone, though some can handle higher doses than others. And with a name like Raven_Decay, you can probably guess whether this Arkansonian falls into the category of 'some' or 'others'. Extra points to this lady for reminding us to look up Marcy Playground on YouTube - oh, the nostalgia.

maddison//"morningwoods"
In the crystalline cold of rural Victoria, Maddison invigorates herself (and thus the rest of us) with an early-morning set that has us pulling the chunky sweaters out of the bottom drawer. Being up at the cracka has many advantages, not least of which is that molten early sun.

sara_g//"fandango"
It takes a certain kind of femininity to appreciate bubblegum-pink walls, and with her pursed lips and bedroom eyes, it doesn't surprise us in the least that Sara_G possesses it. We've been waiting for ages for her to invite us over to her place, and the whole experience is as rosy-coloured as we had imagined.

dega//"sistersquall"
The visible and visceral movement of a tropical rainstorm is something everyone should experience, but if you can't get closer to the Equator right at this moment, Dega has conjured one for you. As it descends, she remains steadfast in her task, melding her body into the landscape and letting the rain wash right over.
