Hammam-Kate Moss :: Photo by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott

Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott
Styled by Alex White
Sept 2008

“In the steam of a traditional bathhouse, Kate Moss evokes a storm of sensuality, wearing slinky evening dresses and lingerie that leave little to the imagination” – unknown

Let me just say the video is dreamy and inspiring … I aspire to reach this level one day! I like to show what inspires me.

NO time like the Present to get on it.

Do you understand now that a model brings alot to the table… the energy she has to give is amazing. The lighting, clothes and makeup help her prepare herself and then it is the photographer’s eye. One must connect with that energy and capture the moment.

Alex White did a killer job really pulling the clothing together. Of course it’s becomes easier, when Alexander McQueen’s silk tulle dress is being used… you all know how deeply I feel for this Man!

Showstudio.com has an amazing video/interviewof Alexander McQueen… not common, I must say.

Invictus- poem by William Ernest Henley/ movie by Eastwood

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

BY
William Ernest Henley

The power of this poem has moved me and I am holding it close …in times of hardship!
Even when things are great… it is a good reminder of the power within me.
It’s the very poem that Nelson Mandela drew strength from while in prison.
Watch out for INVICTUS the movie : directed by Clint Eastwood
Morgan Freeman does an amazing job as Mandela!

When you feel dark and tired… remember
