Easy Born Wild Ride
“Easy Born Wild Ride”, photo shoot for Qvest #42 fall 2010 by Los Angeles based photographer Jason Lee Parry. Featuring the two beauties Masha Rudenko and Nadiya Chenko. Jason was featured on BTB for the first time back in April 2010, and said this about what inspires him: “- Living in a tent in my living room and drinking whiskey for days on in, that’s when the ideas really start to flow. Or any kind of fort will do. 60’s and 70’s playboy mags, old motorcycle films, Jim Morrison’s Poetry, long road trips with little cash, recklessness, total freedom to be myself, Guy Bourdin, long walks at 3 am, my beautiful humble woman, activities that have no meaning, bad weather, complete confidence without cockiness, being with people who do before they think, very small towns and villages, just doing shit that’s out of the ordinary.”\r\n

Kate Lanphear
With her razor-sharp platinum locks and androgynous, punked out look, inspired by Catholic iconography, skateboarding and Norwegian metal bands, the American Elle style director is a fashion world fixture and a style icon.\r\n\r\nPrevious to working in the United States, Kate worked for eight years in Sydney at Vogue (Australia) and Harper’s Bazaar (Australia). She then returned to the USA where she landed a role at Harper’s Bazaar. It wasn’t long before she was offered the role of senior fashion editor at Elle and then style director.\r\n\r\nShe thinks of herself as a fashion geek, claiming her style is more “potluck”.\r\n\r\n“You can use fashion to hide, but it’s only magic when you use it to express who you really are.”“My closet, however, is filled with studs, chains, rock ‘n’ roll T-shirts, and black skinny jeans. The clothes that feel most like my own skin are the ones that are a little aggressive, a bit punked out: Balenciaga shoes and YSL blazers—I could blow my life’s savings on Givenchy and Alaïa.”“If you asked me who my style icons were, I’d say I began with old-school heavy metal. I love the androgyny and the glam. In high school I covered my bedroom walls with Axl Rose posters. Appetite for Destruction was out, and I trailed Guns N’ Roses’ tour bus in my Honda Civic. I had these amazing, skinny, tight-enough-to- cut-off-your-circulation acid-wash jeans with an inky blue plastic zipper that ran up the seam, purchased at Spencer’s Gifts at the mall. I had begged my mom for them. They were part of a look: slouchy suede boots, oversize suede jacket, outrageous jeans. Breaking the suburbatopian mold by wearing metalhead garb definitely wasn’t something one did to fit in with the cool kids in Fairfax, Virginia.”

Tattoos tattoos
I’ve been obsessed with tattoos ever since I got my first.\r\n\r\nSome inspirations…\r\n\r\nRihanna’s tattoo of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti-one of the most famous women of the ancient world-an icon of feminine beauty. Shot by Terry Richardson for Rolling Stone.For GQ Magazine.
Bambi Northwood-Blyth and her bambi tattoo.
Cintia Dicker. Love her tattoos. And she is so incredibly beautiful.
Isabeli Fontana. Angel wings and her son’s name (Zion).
Feathers. Symbolic to dreams. One conclusion to this meaning is how the feather is usually portrayed in the dreamcatcher. When you think about a feather, it has the ability to travel and move freely in life. It is believed that white feathers in dreams symbolize a fresh start spiritually.\r\n\r\nErin Wasson and her feather tattoo. Flair 2006.
Birds are symbolic to freedom, love and soaring heights. Getting the birdies inked on body could be a way of personifying your inner free spirit. If you wish to carry the expression of your flying-high instinct in the form of a body art, a bird tattoo could just do you the full justice.

The Star is a symbol of truth, spirit and hope. Their very existence speaks to the struggle against the forces of darkness and the unknown, and their fixed nature brings the suggestion of order and destiny, and it is on this structure that astrology is founded. In the Tarot, “The Star” is the seventeenth card in the Major Arcana, which signifies hope and the uniting of spirit with matter though the mediation of the soul.
