Toddlers and Tiaras

This spread caused quite a stir when it was published in January of 2011. For a country still haunted by photographs of Jon Benet Ramsey, these images created a knee jerk reaction of revulsion.

Its publication began a national conversation on age, beauty, and sex that more subversive advertising failed to ignite.

American Vogue is notorious for being blah. But somehow Grace Coddington snuck this little gem into the April Issue as the title photo of the "Can you Raise your Metabolism?" story. I'm not sure what conclusion the article came to, but the photo is amazing. It brings fat suits to a whole new level.

Lost Vegas: Daria Werbowy in French Vogue

This is pretty much my dream photoshoot. It features my favorite model, Daria Werbowy; the best photography duo in fashion, Inez and Vindooh; not to mention deserts, showgirls, rugged men, and Stella McCartney. Basically unbeatable.
