Fashion and the Bookworm

I'm a closeted nerd, okay so it's not really closeted. This being the case when I saw these scans for this shoot in Italian Vogue I literally flipped out. Despite the fact it was 3:00am and I had/have class in the morning I was inspired to pay homage by doing my own photo shoot. Since the hall and lounge was pleasantly deserted, it offered the perfect backdrop for my impromptu editorial.

Ooh, I love that spread - the aesthetic is wonderful, and it's great to see a model doing more than pout or contort her body, even if it's just for a picture. And I must say, your photo shoot was quite successful as well! I especially love the one with the plaid dress and the fridge.

Very chic. But who took the pictures?

I really thought this was a professional photo shoot from a fashion magazine. You're really talented! Congratulations!!!

^Schminnie, I take my own pictures. I have a timer on the camera. It tends to be a bit laborous to find the proper place to set my camera and then run back to position in time.

I like the pics, I like the fact that they are b&w, and I curious question, were you able to go to the lessons this morning? hihi...it seems impossible to me, being awake at 3a.m., and going to the lessons the next morning
