BOOGIE LIGHTS - Feb 2012

Planet Blue look books have this incredible ability to just put me in a good mood. Boogie Lights, with its psychedelic colours and iconic 1970s patterns, brings back the flare of the original disco movement, fun and uninhibited with a hint of Dirk Diggler's sex appeal circa 1997's "Boogie Nights."Almost tempted to skip class in search for a place like this.

Black Widow VS White Hot

Just some of my favourite shots from Planet Blue's new lookbooks.  The visuals are absolutely stunning.  The golden metallics, and the glitter work to compliment the model's simplistic beauty. Amidst the glamour and sex-appeal, there is something playfully innocent about the images that work to the model's advantage. Artistically appealing and imaginative. Perfect for immersing yourself into a whimsical world when Managerial Economics looses it's excitement on a Monday afternoon.

Happy Halloween

Planet Blue's Halloween-inspired look book, showcasing a rather chic take on the iconic image of "Dia de los Muertos."The trend has been catching on, especially in Montreal where numerous girls coloured the streets with similarly painted faces on Halloween.

Translated in English, "Day of the Dead" is an important tradition embedded in Mexican culture, where family members gather in celebration of lost loved ones. The concept of death and mourning resonates perfectly with the darker side of Halloween. This shoot is a refreshing break from the so called "slutty"costumes that filter Halloween weekend. With a little imagination, accompanied obviously by the wonders of makeup, even death can look hot.
