Sure it weighs about 2000 pounds and it’s gonna cost about 10 grand (US$) just to ship it out of here…but if you’re someone who actually collects this sort of thing, you really can’t complain about the price –it’s free (sorta).

Think about it as if it were a of giant concrete toy in a $100,000US box of cereal; which in this case happens to be the photographs of the thing being dug up and hauled from a location that its occupied for the last four years here in Kingston, Jamaica.

No, she’s not Jamaican but who cares!? Her name is Nikia Phoenix and she has to be one of the most interesting black faces I’ve seen in ages. I found her by accident while visiting NYC on Kwesi Abbensetts blog which featured a ghostly series of the model. After that I did some Googling and quickly realised that she’s a much more well-known than I had initially thought (maybe that’s why they call Jamaica ‘the rock’).

Anyway, be sure to check out her blog- http://modelliberation.blogspot.com/ where you will find her musings about the fashion world (and quite a few other things) from the perspective of an almost famous beautiful woman with 200 freckles on her face.
