Photo Diary: A Facial Repertoire

Top: Zara / Hat: American Apparel DIYed / Jewellery: Miss Cocotte

You may or not care (For your sake I hope that you tend towards the latter, because there are, at this very moment, intrinsically thoughtful questions like this being asked which NEED answers), BUT, these are some of the happenings that have been, in fact, happening in my life as of late, in professional and novice photo-graphical form and curated through a storyline of facial expressions.

Happening #1: (See above) Introducing: The Toothy Face. In all of its bicuspid and incisor glory, making its appearance for the upcoming jewellery collection campaign for Montreal jewellery designer, Miss Cocotte. More profesh photos to come styled by me and Josée Gagnon, make-upped by Joanie Lapointe, and shot by Michel-Éric Gauthier.

Happening #2: I made a lot of serious faces in Old Montreal. A class-mate asked me why I always look so mad once. Clearly, I was just channelling my inner austerity and inherent bitch-face capabilities for this shoot by Paul Steward Photography. For more information, and a step-by-step tutorial on bitch-facing, click here.

 Happening #3: Marie and I stood on my roof and made a virtual spectrum of varied facial expressions, starting with what could be most accurately described as the despondent puppy dog face...

 Followed by the "I ain't got no face."

Narratively-peaking with that stupid face where the camera catches you mid-blink a.k.a. mentally-impaired.

 Then came the denouement or the one "where I understand if you just want to punch me in the face" face.

 Rounded up with the conclusively-appropriate and sickeningly irritating Happy Face.

So in conclusion - well, there is no conclusion. This whole thing was a total waste of your time.

Things that are Better in the Back: A Theme Board

Besides the presupposed and obvious sexual reference, there are several things in this big ol' world of ours which do well located in the often understated and too often overlooked back. Oh yes, believe it people. Here I have compiled a visual board of images which exemplify my theory in practice. It is, without a doubt, better in the back.

Exhibit A: Neil Barrett dress via SSENSE
This concoction gives this girl a human tail or, to be more accurate, an extensively long butt flap whose practical use is non-existent but whose party-factor is way up. Imagine this one on a windy day. Fly that butt flag girl, fly it.

Exhibit B: The Back of John Stamos' head. 
Pure Sex.

Exhibit C: My Tail Top from ZARA
Although I try to avoid shopping at fast fashion outlets as much as possible, this one wrangled me in  the second I saw its fortuitous side appendage, and though not entirely located at the back as is required for the topic at hand, I will most likely be wearing this at the launch party for the following and final exhibit, making it therefore, thematically appropriate.

Exhibit That Trumps All Previous Exhibits: The Backroom Montreal Grand Opening

Get there, be there. The best looking back in town. 

Dressing Like Holiday Mascots: Easter Edition

 It seems I have been doing several editions as of late. Pardon this pattern, but it has only manifested itself due to the sequence of special occasions in recent days. Easter and all of its small rodent iconography, specifically rabbit associations, has inspired my sartorial tendencies this weekend in the most blatantly representational form. In other words, I have been dressing like a rabbit.

Observe:

A silly hat reminiscent of a lumberjack/Russian traditional head attire doubles as a rabbit-ear imitator. Especially with the facilitation of my hands which render these would-be ears into a floppy state. Much like our fuzzy friend above.

And although pseudo rabbit ears are all well and good, I prefer full-on commitment to holiday-specific dressing. 

Total BOSS

So whether you favour half-assed or hard-core, you too can spread the holiday cheer either discreetly or obnoxiously simply by clothing yourself. Waist-expansion, binge-eating-facilitating sweat pants do not apply.
