Last month I had the pleasure to work with THE AMAZING Dawn Richard when Julian Lark and I styled her for Kontrol Magazines Sexy Body Issue. Dawn was really one of the coolest girls thta I've had the chance to style. She is such a hard working woman with a free spirit. I really didnt expect to love her as much as I did, if im being 100% honest lol. When Danity Kane broke up and she joined Diddy in Dirty Money, it left a bad taste in my mouth considering it was Diddy who broke Danity Kane up. I was so surprised to meet Dawn and instantly fall in love with her. We shot some pretty risque shots of her for the issue, showing lots of skin, and that sexy body of hers. I'm not sure what will make the final cut for the issue, but whichever shots they are, they'll be dope. The Sexy Body Issue starring Dawn Richard, and Tank hits Barnes & Noble bookstores everywhere next week! Until then enjoy these behind the scenes shots that hopefully leave you with alot to look forward to... =)
A couple of months ago I assisted on a shoot with Americas Next Top Model Cycle 10 & All Star's contestant Dominique Reighard for the Kontrol Magazine Summer Issue. We shot her here in Atlanta at a BEAUTFIUL locaton off of the river. We shot a total of 4 or 5 looks some in the water, and some on the beautiful rocks. I havent seen the full spread yet so I'm not sure what looks will be publishd. This is just a preview, the full issue comes out next week with Dawn Richards & Tank on the cover, you can buy Kontrol at any Barnes & Nobles store or online at KontrolMag.com =)

After dinner we went to this bar called te Buckhead Saloon to finish up the celebrations. I had a great time with great friends and what made it even better is that everyone looked amazing!! there'snothing better than a gorgeous night out with gorgeous people!! =)
