NO issue #8 DOUBLE TROUBLE
photographer: Natasha Cantwell
stylist: Zara Mirkin



behind the scenes
photographer: Colin Sokol
no magazine rumi neely photo shoot
no magazine rumi neely photo shoot
no magazine rumi neely photo shoot





















Here it is - the shoot that I did for NO magazine while I was in New Zealand..the issue is now out! I haven't gotten a copy yet so I just have some LQ shots from a PDF but Colin was busy snapping away throughout behind the scenes and befriending the resident cat. This was literally right after the 13 hour flight to Auckland but everyone's amazing energy kept me going..thank you to Melinda, Anna, Zara, Amber, Natasha, and Charlotte! Highlights: wearing gold sequin Louis Vuitton boots and that Moschino belt, marveling at the extremely varied taxidermy around me, getting acquainted with the New Zealand skyline from the sunwashed patio, and witnessing Zara's genius madcap styling firsthand. Hope you like it.

I'm glad one of your highlights was that Moschino belt because it's fabulously tacky in the greatest way.

No worries, it is fun to see behind the scenes shots. I can't believe I didn't run into you during Fashion Week - saw Colin a couple of times. Mind you I was in and out as soon as the shows finished. Glad you had a good time in NZ x

dear colin

1st photo of the cat = priceless. love the rest of the photos too, esp one with the rocking horse.

am thinking that one photo--the one w/ moschino belt/zillion buckle wedges/nude fishnets/armchair could have been made even more aweome w/ a superwide lens @ ground level! i do like it as is, though. lighting is ridiculously pretty.

This house is disgusting, plenty of dissected animals and real fur (even with the foxes heads). U said u were "pescatarian" but i see its just cause the "weight" or cause u think its cool; u dont respect animals at all.

Is all that fur real? Do you feel proud of posing between so much poor innocent animals?

P.D: Sorry if there is any gramatical mistake

very foxy indeed.
my favorite combination has to be the vanilla quarter sleeves, faint pink short shorts, moschino belt, and wicked buckled wedges.

Anonymous said...

honestly, the fur disgusts me. i dont know how anyone could lay in a pile of innocent dead animals. and i thought you didnt eat meat and werent too fond of fur? i hate how poor little animals have to die in order for someone too try and look cool wearing fur.

i really like your blog, but the fur is just disgraceful.

You look awesome! I love the look of that place-such great styling!

WOW! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF YOURS BUT TO SEE MY COMMENT IN THE LAST POST WAS DELETED REALLY BOTHERS ME...ALL I SUGGESTED WAS DOING A POST ON GIVING BACK TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO CLOTHES. WE LIVE IN SUCH A CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY WHERE CONSUMERISM RULES AND YOUR BLOG DOES NOTHING BUT PERPETUATE IT..HOW BOUT SHOWING THESE YOUNG GALS HOW TO BE HUMANITARIANS AND ONCE SOMETHING GOES OUT OF STYLE DONATE IT! THATS ALL IM SAYING...I SEE YOU SELL LOTS OF YOUR OLD ITEMS ON SHOPTOAST..WHY NOT RUN A CLOTHING DRIVE ON YOUR BLOG FOR PEOPLE WHO CANT EVEN AFFORD A WINTER JACKET OR UNDIES! YOU HAVE THE OLLOWING..PUT IT TO GOOD USE~

I absolutely dislike this photoshoot. Something really disturbs me.
Colin's photography is great, as usual, but for some reason I can't explain, you look 'fake' on these shoots.
Maybe it's because I feel something awkward about the place or the clothes but it doesn't suit you at all.
I mean, I have seen you in a very better look than this one.

tamphetamine said...

Taxidermy is done on animals who have DIED. not animals who have been slaughtered just for the sake of it. I hope that's the case in this house...

Half of them are foxes which are pests for farmers anyway. They cull and skin them all the time.

I agree somewhat with the anon comments and don't think this is a good message to be sending out to people. But there are people who like fur, and people who don't. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't feel you have to.

You look great and I hope you don't take all these stupid negative comments to heart.
