What a GREAT story! Did she see this layout? LOL I'd love to know her reaction. Great use of that RP magazine alpha paper. I wouldn't have known what to do with it. It really gives the lo some punch. Amazing work!
George Lee picked up the photo, tucked in his chin and peered over the top of his eye glasses to get a better look.
“Is that Ayumi?,” he asked despite the obvious.
“Yesssss,” I answered.
He put down the picture mute. But I knew what he meant. This is not your normal visual of Ayumi Nakanishi. Yes she's beautiful. Yes she's got style. Yes she's super cute. But smoldering, sultry, and sexy? We just don't see that side of our highly esteemed colleague and friend.
That's why I requested to keep it when I was sorting through a stack of pictures at Ayumi's house. It's a photo that catches me, and others, totally off guard. It's completely unexpected from a friend who I think I know better than myself. It reminds me that no matter how much you think you know a person there still are beautiful surprises inside of them. Plus, it's just a great picture.
Ayumi and I talked about the photo as I looked at it. It went something like this:
Me: Wow. Look at you! You look so sexy. Who took these pictures?
Ayumi: Oh, some young photographer. He wanted to do fashion so I said, 'Okay.' He even provided the clothes.
Me: The clothes are perfect. I can't believe a guy picked them out AND they fit! I'm amazed.
Ayumi: I know. He did a really great job. I wanted to keep the clothes for myself!
Me: Can I keep this?
Surprised look.
Ayumi: “Ohhhhh-kay.”
So here it is. A layout dedicated to my greatest friend. The pint size punk rock Japanese girl--with a whole lot of class--that unexpectedly pulls off a bit of sexy white debutante trash.
Note: Ayumi once sang as a back-up singer for the band 'The White Trash Debutantes' in San Francisco during the mid 1990's.
