Natasha’s skull-patterned dress reminded me heavily of the AllSaints aesthetic. However, AllSaints’ skull emblazoned pieces are a lot more wearable and accessible. I would totally wear Natasha’s dress because I love skulls but it takes a big personality to make something like this work. The bright red flower in her hair tops off the entire look with the perfect feminine touch.

Without any question, Linda was the most stylish person I saw in the hour I spent searching at Taste of Chicago. Actually, she is the only person I photographed the whole time I was there. Therefore I dedicate this photo to my friend Ines for giving me a challenge I couldn’t refuse.
Sunday was the annual Chicago Gay Pride Parade in Lakeview. Although I missed the parade itself, I found the atmosphere of the entire day intoxicating in the best possible way. Even the police officers were in great moods as well, and not only because overtime pay is awesome. When crowds are happy and peaceful, cops tend to relax and have a good time too. The female police officer above actually gave me a huge hug when I stood up from photographing her. It’s the first time I’ve ever been hugged by a cop!
