Sean O'Pry is My Opium

Sean O'Pry is so dreamy. I think it's the lips. They're so...lucious. haha! So this spread was in Man About Town. I love the perspective and use of landscape. It's almost like they used a blue/green screen and photoshopped the scenery in. But it's so farfetched looking and stylized that it looks like they were really on location. I love the clarity.

Anthem #33: GET IT ON!

(Click on image to enlarge)

Happy Tuesday! I'm currently procrastinating on my marketing paper on Chanel. The topic is market segmentation. Maybe I'll upload the essay after I'm done. It's terrible, really. But I learned some interesting facts.

Besides that, this editorial is from Anthem and I normally enjoy their spreads but the latest issue was a little boring, even though it had Santogold on the cover. But besides the fact, hope you enjoy this.

Not by My Hair is Adrogyny Over

I like this spread. Why? Because often times, androgyny is portrayed as a woman looking like a man but not vice versa. Also, men are often put in women's close but their features are still intact, like their short hair. So in this instance, I like that the man, Henzo, feminine attributes are accentuated. If Henzo's hair wasn't lighter, I don't think I would be able to tell who is who in some pictures.

If I was over 6 feet, I would grow Rapunzel-like hair too. And what would I do with hair that cascade down my chest for miles? I would learn to knit, and every night I would knit my hair a new ensemble. Now someone should make a collection or editorial spread with that idea!

Glamour Poland? Not Boredland?

Funny enough, I was telling my friend the other day how much I prefer international magazines over American ones. And then I saw this and I must ad, I have to have a clause to that statement now. How overdone is adrogeny? It's over done, especially in the most simplistic state. I get it, dominance. I get it, girl is the man of the relationship. This editorial doesn't accentuate the clothes at all except for its tedium portrayals of woman displaying power via clothes, men-like clothes. *yawn*.

Kate Moss, pre-moss

Remember the day when Kate Moss wasn't overrated and she didn't appear on Paris Vogue more than once within a five month period? Before she booked all three editorials within W, and at least one in every other for consecutive months? Remember when she was bubbly and you wanted to be her friend with her cheesy, girl-next-door smile? Now she's just a frustrated girl looking for love in the world through cocaine and skinny-jean-wearing boys. I miss her. A little.
