Girl, You So Well Spoken!

q: what do you get when you mash together robin black: magazine editor/photographer and makeup artist extraordinaire, brett bailey: haute couture [cyber-]stylist, and oscar lima: designer du jour?

a: an unending well of amazingness. 

step 2? throw me into that mix. then add some outrageous metal headpieces, dresses fit for the haus of gaga (no, really, oscar is her costume designer), and makeup that would make miss jones herself swear she'd seen that face before... now, you've got the cover of the new tough's issue #3...!

you see, on super bowl sunday, instead of toting chips & dip to someone's house for a day of beer and football, i was picked up at approximately 1:15pm by a self-described "asian girl with tattoos". gorgeous, spunky, and carrying bags of health food snacks (well, if you want to call the vegan chocolate chip cookies we annihilated "healthy"...), she wore a simple chain around her neck that said "ms black"-- a complete contradiction as this girl is anything but simple...

hours later, i headed to work with a plastic baggy full of polaroids, feeling higher than a skid row crackhead. we had just made magic. if this is how it starts (my dream, that is)-- with robin and oscar and brett and grace jones makeup and 4 hours of listening to "warm leatherette" and "nightclubbing" whilst growling at the camera... if this is how it starts then i look forward to the climb...

the issue is coming soon. have fun with these crazy polaroids robin snapped for fun in the meantime! oh, and don't forget to check out issues #1 and #2 of the new tough online!
