Constructing Hermine - The resulting photograph...

The resulting photograph is certainly impressive. This Sarah can blend I tell you , but is this the Ecstatic Modern Girl we are desperately seeking? Second glance. Gorgeous, yes but so chic, so unkind....so...Marc Jacobs! Keeling waves his head non. The dirty deed falls to me.

		WS: Uhmmm Sarah. This face here is genius but y'know Hermine's book is full of a lot of hard imagery and we're trying to craft a cover that will lighten her up.Could we consider throwing some color around the eyes? SS: Stony Silence WS: In other words leave the base as is because it is glorious for Hermine's skin but just sweeten the eyes. Subtract the copper ring and y'know maybe match the blouse? SS: Well you really can't mix green with green especially acid green! SS:With the hair we're doing and this blouse and this make-up, false lashes are going to seem completely drag queen. But if that's what you guys want....
Hermine: Maybe I could have some lashes to bring my eyes out a little more. WS: Uh Uh its not about lashes. Its more about colors...blue... SS: I'm not doing blue Ok. I'll tell you straight off, I'm not doing blue! Blue is so tired! WS. Well there must be a color that's do-able!

It was very easy plucking the one image that would go forth to represent as the hip-hoppers say. There she was in all her mischievous splendor, peeking out in a playful feline way--skin shimmering, hair all awry , shoulder line etched and sculpted in that hard line so typical of Keeling. She will proceed to burn like a beacon on NYW's homepage, the portal of entry from curious viewers the world over . They would have a fair idea of what she might look like with nothing on and they would know nothing about her. In the form of a postcard, the image would leave the racks of chic American restaurants and clubs and end up as a flimsy souvenir of having been there; having done that . And then after having served its purpose, after becoming just another picture in a media sphere clogged with pictures, the image and all it entailed would be discarded .
