This outfit is my own design.

This is not a recreation of a character of any sort, like I usually do. The story behind this outfit is that my sisters Jessica and Leah were doing a sort of "modeling school" and one of their final projects was that they had to make their own outfits for a runway show. The theme was "metal" and naturally I was called in to rescue them. Growing up I was the one who did the drawing for my baby sisters' projects, (I have 3 sisters) and so this was no different. Though this time it was not sketching a lioness for a report cover, or painting a picture for an art project. I had literally a week to come up with a design that individually fit the body style and personality of each sister. For Jessica this was the outfit chosen. Jessica is a strong girl, she's my gym buddy and she's very muscular and lean. She has strong shoulders and a very tight tummy. I wanted to show off her mid section and shoulders, and so I came up with this design. Slightly metallic, staying in the theme with the dangling chains and the silver fabric. On the shirt there is actually tons of bead work sewn in so that it sparkles tremendously when she walked. She looked very glamorous.

The girls were unable to model the costumes for me so I had to model them myself. Photo is by Kyle Johnsen in Downtown Los Angeles.
