How nice is this? She's posing with a giant model of a gorilla in a dressing room! She is genuinely too cool for fashion!! This is what she says about her work:

"I came to NYC to become a supermodel :) I enjoyed every second of it until I realized that even though modeling opens the doors for me to a gigantic world it didn't allow me to express my own creativity and sense for beauty. It was so frustrating that I had to be a perfect mannequin, never complain about the choice of clothes or make-up but never suggest or advice anything of my own, since it would unprofessional.

But I found my own revenge on this situation, and a way to let out the frustration, a painfully obsessive hobby. I started sneaking into the most exclusive posh designer boutiques all over the world and taking pictures of myself wearing the most expensive dresses. I transform the dressing room into a studio or a movie set with the equipment and props that I carry in my bag. It is a scary project that keeps my heart racing to the edge of a hear-attack, because I often get discovered, kicked out or arrested. Even though I really try NOT to get caught!

(...)

Doing this I become my own photographer, model, art director, make up artist and hair stylist. I can be whoever I desire at that moment a movie star, a Vamp, a Seductress, and own those outrageously unaffordable clothes for a few moments, never having to pay for it!"
