Contortionists

1. Missoni Fall/Winter 2011
2. Playgirl Man for March

It's a delicate topic. Snakes and the texture of their skin are of rare beauty. And therefore must be protected. Therefore, we can either fake it. Or do it like Salma.

Hero Worship

Part 15: Rudolf Nureyev




Photos Unknown, Richard Avedon

Medusa: Main Corpus

Top Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2010

Naked Power Yoga
