Two girls walking down the street in Paris, probably reminiscing about the night before, maybe about dinner at such and such restaurant and how lovely the wine was. They probably gently debate about whether to go shopping or to go to a museum, who knows? But they do like the feel of luxurious clothes that’s for sure and they are proud, clearly one can tell from the straightness of their spines. It’s an easy afternoon in Paris, and tonight they will cook African dinner for Bethanne Hardison, their city god-mother. (Just my imagination but I’m sure not far from the truth at all.)

When I first saw this I knew it was a shoot— their a bit too shiny. Hahaha.
I worked with him last summer. He was so cool. Everyone I meet is soo cool.
BYE.
They will probably jump in the next bus and the mind plenty of dreams run to the Island behind the photo “in photo”.

Beautiful! I agree with Oroma. Many at times beauty is not only a fisical thing. I love when a woman have self-confidence, beautiful or not. I think you can be the ugliest person on earth but when you know how to dress and have that confidence, you can’t pass unobserved in good nor bad.
Ps: excuse my english but i’m not mother tongue.
Ataui and Ajak Deng- gorgeous model siblings!
I love this…a rare capture of the essence of “beautifully care free” …hand in hand it’s in the tilts of their heads and the swing of their arms…fabulous outfits cherry on the cake!

Not far from the truth at all. Made me chuckle a bit.
Walking tall does speak to a certain inner confidence, I find it quite beautiful actually.
I saw a girl in the metro yesterday with one of the beautifully shaped legs I’d ever since. I’m not one to shy away from beauty. She’s white and may have been eastern European. Every guy and girl looked directly at her legs, the curve and the shape created by the tucking in of her purple silk blouse into a high waisted dark skinny denim. I thought not only is this girl beautiful but she’s quite stylish but her eyes seem to wander, never holding stares nor accepting the silent compliments….eager to look away in fact, almost not wishing for any of it.
She hurriedly sat down at the fastest chance, burying her eyes between her legs… and I thought what a shame, you are so beautiful.
All to say that I admire confidence very much, standing tall and knowing how to walk like a woman. I can understand being shy but credit is also due to she who is assured and coats it with well with beautiful clothes.
