MEOW with Adapt Advancers, Ashley Vee, and Top Kat

Adapt Advancers and model Ashley Vee teamed up to do a Hella Kitty collaboration and we gotta say...hands down the CUTEST tees EVER. VT stepped up with both hair and make-up this time around and like always, Top Kat did a stellar job of capturing the raw, dirty, grungy and gritty feel of this particular look book. Enjoy the shots and don't forget to grab these MEOW gear today at www.adaptclothing.com! Ahem, wouldn't they be great Xmas stuffers for your favorite lady???

#15: Another Session with Adapt & Top Kat

We love getting last minute calls from Evan of Adapt Clothing, especially if it means working with his enthusiasm for ladies with glasses (and scoring the sweet t-shirts).  Working again with Top Kat of Foot Candles is ALWAYS a bonus too!  Check out these photos from Adapt's newest line and keep an eye out for our model, Ashley Vee, who's collaborated with Adapt on hands down the CUTEST tees EVER!  More to come, of course!

#10 Boudoir with Vanessa and Lily

The beautiful Vanessa called us up to style her birthday boudoir shoot.  It was her first time modeling, but she was a natural in front of the camera, even with barely any clothes on.  This was an empowering shoot as we celebrated the woman as a beautiful being that is poised, confident and intelligent.  We're not going to post the pictures up (for obvious reasons), but we wanted to share with the world our wonderful experience working with Vanessa and talented photographer, Lily Yip of BLLew Photography. To view more of Lily's Boudoir photos, or even to book a session with her, check out her webbie here.  These can be great Christmas gifts for you or even your significant other!

#11: Turk & Taylor

We took a beautiful road trip up to Point Reyes to shoot for a local clothing company, Turk & Taylor (as in the cross streets in the TL).  We were well-fed, well-hydrated AND got a fabulous chance to site-see.   We gotta say, these might be one of the most beautiful locations for a shoot we've seen yet!  And on top of that, everyone we worked with was super talented and not to mention, beautiful and highly professional.  Enjoy these breathtaking shots!

Behind-the-Scenes with Supperclub

A look behind the fashion show aka training ground for speed work:

Photographer:  Patrick Lai

WHAT WE DID:

Hair - Gen did variations of the top bun on some girls, and let it loose with curls on others.  We thought the top buns would work great with such a dramatic eye and gave the dresses a more up-do, chic look.

Make-Up - Theme was antelope meets sexy glowy, simple skin.  VT thickly lined the eyes for this edgy look, which emphasized the deep shadows around the nose and elongated the eyes.  Deep plum was used on the lips to represent the transitioning fall season.  Heavy contouring was done on the cheekbones and the rest of the skin was left plain but dewy.  Products used:  Eve Pearl Concealer, Graftobian HD Creme Foundation, Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Ink Black, MAC's Media Lipstick, LORAC's Illuminating Powder, Benefit's Hula Bronzing Powder.

#8. Teaser: Outta the Box

We had the privilege of working with rising photographer Diane Christine Villanueva, and scientist/newly-found model, Maricris Macabeo, this past summer and are super excited to finally see some of the finished products!  This was a good 12+ hour work day with three completely different looks and locations!  It was challenging but extremely worthwhile.  More Outta the Box to come...
