In my never ending project of adding content to galleries I can across this gem of a set. For anyone who was on MySpace or paying attention to underground pop culture in the Early 2000's you would know what trashylife is, AKA Zui Watts & Audrey Kitching. It must have been somewhere around 2005 when we did this shoot. I had sort of recently met photographer Michelle X Star and had been friends with these ladies on MySpace for a while.They happened to be coming out to Los Angeles and we shot these in my second ever studio DTLA which was a 500 sq ft two connecting room office on E 9th st, my first studio was directly upstairs in a 200 sq ft office in the same building. This was the first day I met them both in person. I want to say that because of these women and countless other amazing models, Makeup Artists, hair Stylist, general support of fans and clients I am able to continue to make fashion and be an artist for which I cannot even begin to articulate how grateful I am. Also to my dear friend Michelle who created so many beautiful images using my fashion. I really do appreciate these things on a daily basis. Thank you everyone, I love you so much!!!! Seeing these also makes me miss the days of organic marketing on social media, it truly was an underappreciated golden goose.
