And wouldn’t you know it, the last set of photos shot were taken at that super-awesome, super-shady crackden No-tell Motel about a block away (also visible in the background of her music video!) At any rate, I took some photos of some of the whole thing. Enjoy! (photo shoot by JMG) (styling by Di[e]ce) BONUS VIDEO CLIP!!!! … Read entire article »
