The story of how I photographed Miss Republica Dominicana US 2011 U.S 2011.

It goes like this. Wil of V.G.B met her outside the Karmaloop office is midtown NYC. He invited her up to do a drop for Karmaloop TV after learning that she is Miss Republica Dominicana U.S 2011.

I was in the office checking out the space I’m going to shoot Vanessa Vesley in tomorrow.

I see Mio, yes that’s Miss Republica Dominicana name and I ask her name and tell her I MUST take photos of her. Why? ummm cause she is fucking stunning!

IMG_0233

See..stunning!

So basically she was my test model for tomorrow. Not mad at ALL!

Wil, is a happy camper!

Peep the new V.G.B hat and the Flud watches these two are wearing.

Photo recap> London, Amsterdam and Paris?? Yup!
Last week aka on Aug 14th I got on a plane similar to this one
IMG_1065
and headed over the pond to the United Kingdom for the 1st time.

Mad EXCITED!!!
All I could think about is how shit would be and how much the babes were going to love them some me!
naw not really! ha. I did not really think about shit…a bro ham was knocked the fuck out on my flight, 1/2 the time and the other 1/2 I was trying to annoy the fat lady whos 1/4 of ass was on my seat. I was trying to get her to fucking MOVE to the ROW of 3 seats in the middle of the plane! BUT NO she did NOT move and I need a window seat on planes. I gotta see shit.

FUCK! MEMORIES!

So yeah..haha

Flight was cool besides that.

My friend Stella ( Thanks again) lives in Piccadilly Circus.

She said to pay her back in sex, but I declined!

I think on my breakfast in bed day Stella took me to see the where the Queen of England takes her pisses.

These phone booths are extra special…need I explain why?
