<br>Kelsey Olson's first Torrid images (from a prom collection, no less) caused an absolute sensation at this forum, so fans of this model will be <i>thrilled</i> to see a new series of outtakes provided by photographer Michael Anthony Hermogeno (<a href="http://www.8x10proofs.com/" target="_blank">www.8x10proofs.com</a>) of Kelsey's second exciting Torrid shoot, for the company's March collection.
Here we see Kelsey return to territory that is uniquely her own, at once sweet and seductive, melding the good-girl/bad-girl personae that she created for Torrid's prom series into one alluring presence.
This strapless/sleeveless ensemble frames the soft beauty of her figure in an irresistible way. The romantic hairstyle, with her fair tresses cascading over her shoulders, is the stuff of rich fantasy--but at the same time, it is a style that any goddess can adopt in her day-to-day activities, to bring some poetry into a prosaic world. The elaborate accessories perfectly compliment Kelsey's opulent beauty, and her gentle but emotive expression rivets the viewer's attention. Even the handbag harmonizes with the overall theme, which is organic and natural--just like the model's appearance--but also appropriate for an urban setting.<p><center><img src="http://www.judgmentofparis.com/kelsey/torrid13.jpg"></center><p>For a close shot, Kelsey adopts one of her steamiest looks yet, with parted lips and a banked-down fire smouldering in her blue/grey eyes--a passion barely curbed, recalling the effect that Lillian Russell reportedly produced in her most captivating moments. Those fairy-tale tresses at once belie and adumbrate her wilder nature.<p><center><img src="http://www.judgmentofparis.com/kelsey/torrid14.jpg"></center><p>And even in a more functional photograph, a pure display of clothing, Kelsey still manages to enliven the image with her personality. The outfit may be less than remarkable, but Kelsey makes it unforgettable--with her stance, with her inimitable <i>attitude</i>--proving that a goddess can make <i>any</i> attire look gorgeous.<p><center><img src="http://www.judgmentofparis.com/kelsey/torrid15.jpg"></center><p>Kudos once again go to Mr. Hermogeno for his outstanding photography. Kelsey is quite simply one of the brightest stars in the plus-size modelling firmament, and we eagerly look forward to seeing further results from what was obviously a spectacular shoot.<p>- <a href="http://www.judgmentofparis.com/kelsey2.htm" target="_blank">Kelsey Olson galleries</a>
