To say that Katlin is my favorite go-to model is an understatement. The girl is a stylist’s dream come true, bringing professionalism, grace, & vision into every look she attempts. Katlin looks great in my clothes not just because she’s a pro at posing & form, but because she’s passionate about style as an art. She’s always on the next level, & for that, I’m her biggest fan!
Truly adaptable, I’ve seen her turn from martian to Victorian waif in a single shoot! The most inspiring attribute she brings, though, is fortitude. If she was a Planeteer she’d be righteous Ma-Ti, crushing with the power of heart! In an industry full of competition, a positive, friendly attitude like her’s is always welcome.
It’s astounding to see how much Katlin’s accomplished in her short career, on her own, through persistence, kindness, & good old-fashioned hard work! I literally can’t wait to witness what the future holds for her!
Katlin has worked diligently to get a number of our collaborations into print. The images here are published in the most recent issue of alt NOIR Magazine.

I had the opportunity to style this feature in issue #07 of Giuseppina Magazine! This was the anniversary issue & content was focused on gay pride! My dear & talented friend Katlin Sumners submitted these photos along with an article on the subject, here is what she has to say:
“This issue of Giuseppina Magazine was a focus on the Gay Pride anniversary…. Which means that there is a 2 page spread featuring not just photos of me in it, but more importantly, a personal narrative article I wrote concerning my upbringing in a same-sex household and how life has changed since my childhood in the 1990s, and present-day for the gay community. I am beyond excited about this because it allowed me to share a brief glimpse into my personal life, and thoughts and childhood experience.
So yes, this means I am much more excited then I would be about a normal piece, because this is much more cherished because this is part of my past as well as present.”

A kaleidoscope of colours contrasting under a big-top tent sky.. Here, a tale of carnival comradery unfolds!
Staring Svetlankia, a sultry Slavic bride too brazen for the shackles of goat-herd village-arranged matrimony..
..and Madam Vorzheva, a classically-trained pipe-organ grinder turned horse-vaulter.
Both abandoned the calamity that was, & maybe still is, their former selves-to-be, in exchange for the daring pursuit of Carny concession! Reborn figuratively & metaphysically, their spirit-souls join in jubilant union.. they are The Incredible Unjoined Conjoined Triplets (Sans One)!!

Messydress designs are on their way!!
It’s been 5 months since I begin the journey of starting my own fashion line, & I’m pleased to report all is going along without a hitch! My samples are approaching completion, & the final designs are due to arrive any day now! I’ve got LOTS of amazing photo shoots planned for them, I can’t wait to get started!
But the really BIG news is, Messydress is finally premiering THIS MONTH!! It’s true! I’ll be unveiling my 1st samples at the Tronik fashion show Thursday the 31st! I’ll have 2-3 custom pieces in the show, plus accessory contributions & a latex sculpture design that should look amazing! I’m also going to be able to vend there. Please come by & support this epic occasion!
I’m so excited to see the progression of this endeavor that is so dear to me. Just 5 months ago I committed to this line, but it feels like I’ve been conceiving it my entire life. I hope everyone enjoys viewing my designs as much as I do bringing them to life. It’s going to be a divine experience!

It’s the sordid tale of a presumed future, art deco robots.. and good waifs gone bad!
Ok, so I never saw the film.. but I think Katy’s photo story came out just splendid! And, I finally got my spacesuit photographed!

Today we commemorate the birth of the Victorian era’s favorite weirdo, Lewis Carroll! Generally, I do this in the form of a costumed Mad Tea/Un-birthday Party. However, this year’s lack of funds has encouraged me to carry on the nonsense in spirit only. I look forward to entertaining with full force this time next year!
Until then, please enjoy this garden-themed slide show of party-goers from years prior! It should tide you over until our triumphant return to Wonderland!

Models dress sexy, photogs dress “cool”. But what does a wardrobe stylist wear to a Model Mayhem meet & greet?
MEAT, of course!
