One of my favorite outtakes from the show.

I like their neckpieces. But are they smeared with a thin layer of black makeup? That looks dreadful.
Nixon and those two pink-haired girls look hot as hell in that gallery. Nice work.
Especially this girl
Oh, there's an entire gallery of it. Awesome.
I like this one:
And this one's necklace and top:
There's a lot of really cool stuff there, though.
you have good taste, Raza. i think the shot with the two braids is my favorite girl pic from the whole series. this is my favorite boy pic i think but they are all nice
HeadlessBill, are you John Ashton-Keller?
That would be an affirmative.Quote:

I wanna know who the designers of these are:

That poor girl with the awesome pink cone hair was having her hair done for three hours! It did look fantastic when it was done, though.
And yes, we ARE covered in black makeup and goo....I'm sure it made sense in the stylist's mind...
Thank you! I just love those designs. :)Quote:

I'm thinking of making a list of the designers and which images their clothes are associated with, but having a hard time to do it without having to have people count photos.Quote:

I didn't quite pick this up the first time round, but are all these pictures of models wearing someone else's designs?Quote:
