Puberty Blues

Can you remember being 16? I thought I knew everything, I thought I was so wise and mature - I laugh at the memory of my 16 year old self now. Growing up in the heart of the Western Suburbs of Sydney, innocence is lost young in a place like that. To think that our biggest issues consisted of what to wear to make our boobs look big and what flavour UDL's we were going to drink on the weekend. The gap between then and now seems almost unbelievable, but it still feels like yesterday...

Back in January my 16 year old cousin came to stay with me for a few days. I loved hearing her ramble non-stop about something completely irrelevant that was just SO SUPER EXCITING/IMPORTANT to her. She played me top 40 songs that were absolutely terrible that i'd never heard before. She said words that I didn't know existed. She told me about her friends that "did stuff" with boys. She made me feel every single bit my age.

My bff is a total F O X! 

Tan lines and the sharpest bob known to man... one flash of THAT smile and you're gone. Here's some intimate portraits of my closest gal pal and eternal girl crush.

Jackknife

A little while ago I ran a competition on instagram to find a new muse. I was looking for someone out of the ordinary, someone with fire, someone maybe not so conventional. The competition ran for a couple of weeks and I got a surprisingly large number of entries, but in the last 48 hours I received an entry that blew me away. Her name is Kristy and she is a little, shaven head, elfish creature. I knew straight away that she would HAVE to be my new muse. 

So here is our collaboration together. Shot in the dirt and titled.... Jackknife.....
