When Nikki came up with the idea of doing a “Seven sins” theme I stressed out a bit. Because I’m a lazy bitch and can’t shoot 7, completely different selfportraits in 2 days.
But I also didn’t want to pick just one of them.
So we decided to do a project within the project, 7 weeks, 7 sins.
Wednesday is the deadline for photo 1, which will be Luxuria!
So you will know the themes for the following weeks, just not in what order. Yet.
Stay tuned.
The theme for week 14 will be…
Seven sins.
1. luxuria (lechery/lust)
2. gula (gluttony)
3. avaritia (avarice/greed)
4. acedia (acedia/discouragement/sloth)
5. ira (wrath)
6. invidia (envy)
7. superbia (pride)

“Feminine” 52/13 (by Jeanique)
I’m not happy with this.
Funny thing is. When I came up with this theme I had a picture in mind. Bold, Sexy, Naked, Powerful, yet Soft and warm. Proud to show my curves.
But while shooting, with pretty make-up and everything I turned out not to be this bold but more important, confident. I just couldn’t find the right pose, angle, the powerful look in my eyes, I felt naked, ‘cause I was. And it’s not that I’m ashamed of my body, it’s just not the body I want, like.
So here is me, trying feminine, not bold, more like fragile, but yet, I think it’s soft. But scared. And I didn’t want scared, at all. So. Yes. Well. Lets save this for another time shall we?
