Mea_x//"high_life"
A domestic space says a lot about a person, and with the crisp, clean lines, minimalist orderliness, and bright whites of Mea X’s room, we get a sense of her as a woman who likes the power of controlled environments and the sleek, linear smoothness of modern design.

illenya//"spacetocreate"
Do you remember all of the artwork Illenya showed you in her ‘nakedvision’ video? This might give you a little insight into the creative process behind it. I imagine her working late into the night, sage burning, trance music filling the room, candles casting just enough light for her to work by.

inkblot//"babeinboho"
Your next Rorschach test is probably going to reveal an obsession with Inkblot. Your psychiatrist won’t understand, but she never understood you anyway – that’s why she hasn’t changed your life yet. But we understand the fixation, cos we’ve got the same problem. ‘Inkblot. Inkblot. Pony – no, Inkblot.’

lady lou//"saturnalia"
Every Lady Lou set is a carnival unto itself, and this time, she’s sent in the clowns. Her obsession with costumes and role-playing has become the defining theme of her artwork here, and we’d give anything to get into her dress-ups trunk.

lucy_v//"felicity"
She howled at the door until we let her in. She seemed sweet enough at first, but then she started making demands. She takes only full cream, requires new linens each night, and she is not a lap cat. She also demands other frisky kittens to play with, so we figured ISM was the only place to keep her. Damned strays.

perpetua//"homestyle"
This is the first opportunity we’ve had to see Perpetua in the casual context of her own space, and it’s always a treat to get a closer look at the lifestyles of these mini-celebrities of ISM. Rich and famous, perhaps not, but this is way more exciting than a Robin Leach program.

Persia//"Psychabella1" Video
The Princess of Psychedelica invites us into her palace of illusion, where she is constantly investigating the strange world of pseudoscience under the influence of the psychonauts who came before her. In this series of wild, weird stuff, she attempts to distract you from her naked state with the tricks she’s got under her (missing) belt.

miss_lee//"fortunata"
Cast her in bronze, cast her in silver, whatever else you do today; cast your eye upon Miss_Lee and her latest offering. She’s bestows upon her images the utmost class and finesse - still frames from a life unfurling within a whirlpool of grace.

isadora//"outburst"
Try as the world might to put her in a box, Isadora is eternally un-containable. And she’s rather loud and proud about it. This girl is powerfully in control of where she’s taking her life, and should you fail to hop on her fast-moving vehicle that’ll take here there, she’s got no qualms with leaving you in the dust.

shamboo//"androgene"
The Godfather of Soul had some interesting ideas about this ‘man’s world’, but Shamboo shows us that it ain’t so cut-and-dry. I wonder what Father James would have to say about her boundary-steppin’ activities here. Perhaps he has a little more in common with Shamboo than he might think.

goat girl//"shapely"
Goatgirl is pulling more shapes than Grace Jones in her debut, making good use of her yoga skills, which come in handy when you want to show it all to the camera you’re anchored to. That’s about all she’s anchored to in this set, and it seems, life in general.

gazelle//"bare_it_all"
Summertime makes one a much braver soul. The whole world seems more inviting when you can expect a decent embrace from the sun every time you step outside. All of that vitamin D has made Gazelle quite a bold lass, and she squeezes all that courage into this confident folio.

mileaka//"syncopation"
Skip a beat with Mileaka as she bounces from one activity to the next, cashing in our collective ADD with a dual-themed folio. She’s all class, reading in the bath one moment and reciting her favourite piece the next – quite the lady, wethinks.

fin//"firegirl"
Fin invokes the opposing elements in her first ISM – a bit of fire, a bit of water, and you’ve encompassed the duality that is her nature. We love her in both.

tinkerchell & charlie_d//"soak_it_up_1"
These sunburnt lovers are keeping each other spic ‘n span so as to be the envy of all the other kids at the beach. Allowing someone that close to your most precious parts with a razor is a pretty special kind of trust, one that reveals the level of loving comfort between these two.
