BEES! EVERYWHERE BEES!

Back in January I got up at the unGodly hour of 4am so that I could shoot with a really incredible young photog named Johnny Alchemy (not his real name). He's starting a project that focuses on stereotypical girl obsessions - make-up, clothes and the one I shot, shoes. After we talked for a couple weeks prior he suggested we do a half-and-half, where we spend the first chunk of time shooting his idea and the second chunk shooting mine. I was really impressed of his way of making colors "pop" so I suggested we do something "punk/rock/grunge" where there would be a lot of bold colors to play with.


For a straight male, he had a good eye for fashion. He picked out the wardrobe all on his own.


"Hey bee, this is my photoshoot. You are a bee, you don't even wear shoes.


Half of the jewelry is Johnny's. That is, all of the chains, safety pins, locks and spikes.


Looks like I tried to make it over the post and wound up injuring my lady parts.


A week after, Amy and I finally had the opportunity to check out Magma Railroad, an abandoned RR in Pinal County, AZ. It took awhile to find (because, duh, it's abandoned and unused) but in a quaint twist of fate, the lighting turned out to be fantastic even if we couldn't stay for very long.


Modeling is hard work! We need naps in order to maintain an appropriate "sexiness-to-vanity" ratio.


Amy slipped roofies into my diet coke.

Which ones? The shoe/punk ones?

I have the entire disc. Most of the better ones are up on my facebook and my Deviant Art account.

Yeah, I like the shoe ones. I'll check out what you have posted. Also, one of my favorite things ever written: "You are a bee, you don't even wear shoes." I love you and I'll see you in a couple of months! (unless you happen to plan a trip out here, which would be AWESOME!)

You have no idea how much I want to come spend another week or so in Cali. Besides you and Jen (up in Oakland), NewFriendHeather is in Pasadena with her lawyer hubby now and I would love to go see her.

:( Alas, money will surely be scarce for the time being....
