Courtesy of "the eyes of Torrid," Michael Anthony Hermogeno, come two remarkable new outtakes of Kelsey Olson (Dorothy Combs Models, size 14). Whereas her initial images were serene and captivating, but with a touch of pizzazz, Kelsey's latest images have become more energetic and passionate--and the latest pair are the wildest and most unbridled yet.
This image in particular shows Kelsey channelling a bacchic spirit. It communicates a spirit of freedom and abandon. And the dress--an attractive, folkloric, peasant style--suits the mood perfectly, as do the model's loose tresses, and her dramatic pose.
The pose is like a frozen dance, and surely if Praxiteles or any other Classical sculptor were alive today, he would implore Kelsey to allow him to sculpt her in this pose, in marble, for all posterity.
Similarly wild, if a tad more restrained, is this image, showing Kelsey curbing her vitality just a touch, yet generating all the more energy because of it. Here, the passion is simmering, but ready to be unleashed at any moment.
You can see many more examples of Kelsey's remarkable latest shoot at Torrid.com, including a passionate red halter top, and an elegant yet alluring lace dress.
Bravo to Kelsey and to Mr. Hermogeno for capturing the vital spirit of today's full-figured youth--and to Torrid, for giving them the feminine attire with which to show off their beauty to the world.
