Sensual Rebel Models | IMG Show Package – New York F/W 12
/
I share a partial series of the most incredible fashion model images, released as the IMG show package on Models.com. The images are the ultimate in creativity and artistic exquisiteness, a really fine wine for the fashion industry.
Behind the curve in writing about these images, the timing is actually perfect. Regiular readers — and definitely my growing list of photographer friends — know that these images reflect all my writing topics ‘from fashion to flogging’.
Anne’s Writers Block
I’ve been a bit stuck in my writing with Bro. Dennis in our 2 Ps in a Pod blog. He is the profound one, and I profane. Our writing opens up many old wounds on the topic of women and religion, although my honesty is having huge impact according to Bro. Dennis. He lost board members over his association with me, women who objected to not only my words, but the limited nudity on AOC.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks politically in America. I am now officially a totalitarian feminist in the aftermath of the Komen Breast Cancer foundation/Planned Parenthood, according to FOX News. Social conservatives think we second wave feminists should just lie down and play dead — until we are.
Then the noise will stop because the good girls are now all in line, thanks to ardent social conservatives and ‘Sex and the City’ lap doggies.
It wasn’t until this morning that my writer’s block was broken. It was Kristen McMenamy’s Tim Walker editorial ‘The Origin of Monsters’ for LOVE magazine #7 that sent me into an emotional tailspin and a highly emotional email to Bro. Dennis. I will publish it.
Better yet — on top of an incessant stream of supportive emails that I’m receiving from photographers and artists saying “don’t stop, this is incredible” — I read in Fashionista this morning that Coco Rocha, Crystal Renn and more models had a powwow in Manhattan last night to launch the Model Alliance, a nonprofit organization founded by Sara Ziff dedicated to “helping models in the American fashion industry organize for safe, fair and healthy standards in their workplace.”
Finally some girls with spunk. Back to the IMG Show Package. Their willingness to go this route, making such a bold, artistic, controversial visual statement about being female is breathtaking. Whoever conceived this project, I love you, love you, love you. Thank you sooooo much. Anne (PS. There is no info about the project, just images, on the IMG Models website.
