horns on your shoulders

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

(Brian Lichtenberg tshirt and triangle necklace, Luxeshop talon necklace, American Apparel skirt)

Photographer: Julia Soler
Stylist & fashion editor: Ángela Esteban Librero


A couple weeks ago Angela and Julia from METAL magazine came down to SD to shoot me for the June issue..the weather was disgustingly gray so we ended up taking it indoors to our humble abode. As you can see, Kumo and Bijou were champs throughout. Between everyone laughing at our on-crack cat's antics, a spontaneous McDonald's run, and blasting every obnoxious song we could, we had a ton of fun. They brought a rack full of crazy amazing pieces - I particularly fell in love with the Brian Lichtenberg mesh dresses and even got to pet the glorious hair shoes. WOW. I offered up some of my own pieces for Angela to work in and she kind of created an awesomely amped up take on my style. I'll post the rest when the issue comes out.

What type of cat is this? I'm getting a new one soon and have to decide, this kind is uber adorable.

Juliet said...

oo working with another photographer i love it

Sarah said...

Yay this photo is kinda like how you used to dress...!!

BirdyNumNum Numb Numb Brain said...

I really like the lighting in this pic. I also like how you didn't tidy away your mess. Very reminiscent of the fashion spreads in my old copies of THE FACE and i-D, but warmer.

Think kitty might need her own agent soon.

Just to say I think your blog is great and if SD means San Diego then that's even better! I'm spending a year away from my university in the UK to study at UC San Diego and I'm so excited! I'd love it if you could do a post recommending all the great places to go to in SD.

I don't know, I used to do it with my sister's cat, she has one like yours, but her's white, his name is Fodo, he likes to get to the bathroom if a person is in there, and to sit on people's rab when they sit on toilet's seat!! Haha anyway ..

Is that a sample photo from the shoot? Or did your man take it? Just curious about the camera/lighting setup used. Just an attachment flash on a regular dig. slr? It's very 944/Vice/Urban Outfitters with faded colors. Kinda impromptu-glamour, eh?!

luv,
Heather

I love how I jokingly mentioned the cat in an earlier post, purposefully NOT commenting obsessively on Rumi like the rest of you losers and now, its a big deal. hilarious.

Anonymous said...

I think it is amazing how you losers hang on her every word and picture. She could post a shot of her brushing her teeth and you would all rant and rave about how amazing the toothpaste looks dripping from her mouth into the sink or how the bits of food stuck in her teeth remind you of the colors in a latest Gucci confection. p u k e i n my m o u t h
