male models.

one of my favorite internet pastimes is to stare at photos of male models. they're beautiful and talented--so, why not? there are a select few, of course, who have caught my attention. they have such unique styles, facial structure, and charisma--i sometimes find myself fangirl-ing over them. here they are, ordered (somewhat) from my top favorites.

Thiago Santos

Ash Stymest 

Max Krieger

enjoy the sexy.

gap-toothed models.

models with imperfect teeth seem to be the hot trend in fashion editorials and advertising. usually one would think that a woman with a front teeth gap would be discouraged from the idea of being a successful model; this would make them anything but perfect. but these ladies are here to alter the definition of beauty and appeal.

here are my top five favorite gap-toothed models in order.

lauren dukoff.

lauren Dukoff is my favorite photographer of all time. she is noted for her portraits of famous celebrities and musicians, but it's far from the regular pictures that you view in magazines. she strictly works in black and white (and sometimes color) film, a rare and increasingly fading photography style. her work is what inspired me to want to pursue a career of fashion portraiture and editorial photography. through her artistic eye, she shows the world more than just the pretty face of a celebrity--she shows their vulnerable side as well.
