'CAUSE WE LOVE BUBBLE GUMS

I did this photo shoot back in May 2014 with my baby girl Tukan. Basically the idea behind the whole photo shoot was to bring back temporary tattoos hidden inside of bubble gums that we used to buy when we were younger. I still rember how cool I felt when my mom bought me one of those. I got that feeling like it's a real tattoo. I was a cool kid... damn.

Me and Tukan we had to eat like 30 to 40 gums to get those bitches out and it was quite painful but fun (try to chew 20 gums at once - not funny at all... actually it is lol).

So after more than an hour and half we were ready to shoot! So we did.

Let me just say that this is one of the prettiest girls I know. <3

SOCIALISM part I

A month ago I met my friend Simona. We were just chatting about photoshoots and what we could do together. She came up with some very interesting ideas and I immediately fell for one of them. It was socialism.

Socialism as a social and econic system is already behind us but when you visit houses and flats of your parents/grandparents you can still smell relics of the system. And that's what we did.
I did the photoshoot with two fashion bloggers Simona and Iveta. And we had the best time together.

The place Sima chose was just amazing. Old, raw, full of spiders and dirty as fuck a.k.a. garden cottage. The right place for arachnophobists like me and Sima.

What I find really cool about this garden-cottage-experience is that I was able to look through 20 year old newspapers, old recordings, toys, clothes and things that actually meant something to somebody so many years ago and they haven't been touched for years because nobody cares about them anymore. They're just lying there...as a part of the history. People don't use them but they also won't throw them away maybe because these things have their own timeless value.
