Happy Birthday Laetitia Casta!

I don’t think words can ever adequately convey how much of a tremendous influence Laetitia Casta has had on my life. I just adore her so much. From the very first moment she became a model, she’s always done things her way. She’s never fit into anyone’s mold. It didn’t matter that she was too short, too shapely and her teeth were crooked. She refused to change or conform to anyone’s standard.

As the Marianne of France, Laetitia is the very definition of the 21st century woman. She’s smart, caring, ambitious, strong-willed, her femininity isn’t a weakness and she’s not ashamed of her beauty. I think Laetitia has a lot in common with Shirley Mason, the lead singer of Garbage. They both have larger than life personalities and completely revolutionized how women were viewed in their fields.

And what’s even cooler is Laetitia’s birthday is the same as the international release date for Garbage’s iconic Version 2.0 album. So many of those songs make me think of Laetitia. To the hard rock riffs, trip-hop, electronic sounds, to Shirley’s aggressive and melodic vocal deliveries, it embodies all facets of Laetitia Casta’s unique versatility.

Laetitia is probably the coolest Taurus around and she’s my favorite model. Happy Birthday Laetitia, words and images hardly do justice to show how amazing of a person you truly are. She’s one of a kind and truly special ♡

Happy Birthday Karmen Pedaru!

Happy birthday to a very special model and person. Karmen Pedaru and Laetitia Casta have had such a big impact on my life. When I first become a fan of Karmen years ago, I thought she had such a cool aura and was just completely different. Karmen has so much passion in her modeling and I think she’s far more expressive in her editorial and runway work than anyone else.

Karmen’s modeling really makes me think of Doosu. The quasi-Sunny Day Real Estate vocals, melancholy induced overdrive, vivid introspective lyrics, and all around kick ass sound are all of the personifications of Karmen’s awesomeness. Fashion models are literally some of the coolest people around and they’re some of my favorite modern artists.

Thanks for inspiring me so much. It’s so cool to share the same zodiac with someone so talented, unique, and beautiful on the inside and out. I hope this birthday is a happy one and you have even grandeur in the years to come. Thanks for being so awesomely stellar, Karmen Pedaru♡

A Day with Model Luna Bijl for British Vogue

I couldn’t think of a better way to put a bow on this very Dutch Saturday then to talk about arguably the greatest model of this generation, the one and only Luna Bijl! I’ll never forget seeing Luna the first time in a Steven Chee editorial. There was just this awesome aura about her. I literally looked through a bunch of her commercial/editorial work and fashion shows and she was just so incredible.

In 2018, she had like 8 Vogue covers and at least 5 for 2019. That is just crazy. It’s hard to put Luna’s greatness into words. Ok, what Luna does in fashion, is what Patrick Mahomes typically does in football lol. Yeah, she’s that great and she’s only getting started. I just love how Vogue shows the everyday normal side of models.

Luna Bijl, Rianne van Rompaey, Birgit Kos, and Fran Summers are the heart of modeling and I’m so happy we have them.
