tom_boi//"golden_boi"
Identity is something that never stops forming and re-forming, no matter where we are in our personal chronologies, and Tom_boi is a brilliant example of that. From bound boi to drummer boi to biker boi, she is overwhelmingly herself, and few truly have the guts to be just that.

isako//"intricacies"
Small-framed and bright-eyed Isako makes us think tiny candy hearts and matchstick citiscapes and other delicately beautiful things. She’s not as fragile as she looks, but we’re still feeling like elephants in the China shop, bumbling around in her presence.

cobain//"bubblesque" Video
Just in case anyone was feeling tense about it, only earth-happy, bioedgradable, grey-water safe soaps were used in Cobain's orb-making adventure. She'd never sully the beauty of something like this with just any dish soap. Soak up the last of the joy as she does the last of the sun.

kiikii//"helix"
Kiikii curves in all the right places, and is pretty crafty at choosing the angles that best highlight her bodyscape. Such curvilinear geometries leave their arcs in our heads and the sharp edges of the world around us are hardly perceptible.

filippa//"decrescendo"
Ah, the romance: a glass of red, an acoustic guitar, and Filippa. It’s the best relaxation technique since the White Light Visualisation, and way more grounded in reality.

hyperballad//"cliche"
In the immortal words of Skin from Skunk Anansie: "It takes blood and guts to be this cool, but I'm still just a cliche." - Hyperballad

mur//"non_sequitur"
Absurd is the word in Mur’s debut, where boys are girls and warbled music blares from stuffed ghetto blasters. If her folio is a contemplation on anything, it’s what happens when you jump into a river wearing a toilet-paper dress. We appreciate her attempt to restore chaos to this ordered world of ours.

tita_sin//"n_cream"
Berries ‘n cream, cakes ‘n cream, Tita ‘n cream – it’s like the dessert menu in an American diner. Tita, of course, is a special – you can’t always get her, but when you can, there’s a line out the door. Clean your plate, or there’ll be no seconds. Y’hear?

cooper//"spinnerette"
A lady with a vinyl collection has become a rarity, making such ladies all the more precious, both for the sustainability of the format and for our senses of nostalgia. We can just imagine Cooper sitting down to a vegan feast with her besties, ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ crackling out from the stereo, and we’re wishing we could be at the table too.

cassie//"pinkcheeks"
Pink and grey are the best colour combination, one that we’ve seen on Cassie more than once, so naturally this particular folio was coming. It’s a cheeky use of thematic colour, but she’s always willing to take her ‘cheek’ one step further.

marie_b//"carmine"
Marie B is engaged in a little project of peeking out from inside her shy-shaped shell, but to be frank, we would never have known had she not said it. This is simply bold and beautiful work from a lady with eyes as dense and enveloping as the fog moving over the bay. Wrap yourself up in flannellette sheets and click, click, click.

kinsey//"getup"
Finally, an answer to the question we’ve all been asking ourselves (and anyone else who will listen) for so long: do they make lacy ankle socks for big girls? And is it sad that for Kinsey, they’re for dress-ups, and for us, they’re for everything? Now, if we can just get her to reveal their source…

sami//"whitehot"
The best thing to wear when you’ve got a sunburn is nothing, so Sami chose an opportune time to shoot herself. It’s difficult to say why tan lines are so very sexy – perhaps it’s that much more emphasis on the ‘forbidden’ that makes them so captivating – but if you hadn’t yet discovered how very sexy they are, prepare to be converted.

canela//"missmaize"
Corn changed the course of Mesoamerican history, but we consider this to be the most extreme thing it has done since then. Proof that, no matter how much money Monsanto spends trying to own them, seeds belongs to the people, and they will use it to enrich their lives however they see fit.

pixie_fae//"dreamcatcher"
You’ll have nothing but good dreams if you filter them all through this lady. She’s so pure of spirit that we can’t imagine any negativity getting through. Wherever she is now, sleeping under the stars, perhaps, in a van full of kittens, we trust she’s sleeping well.
