Maybe its the lighting also, because the studio pics can bring out flaws. Not to critizice, but I just thought she might look as phenomenal in the studio as she did out on the street. Not quite so, but still very hot!

I know this is 10 years ago for all of you but it's new to me and with Fremont right around the corner I thought it might be okay to get a reminder of one of the all-time great Solstice girls! Anyway - after checking the nude modeling pics on the flickr account (they're still there at jimboken42) it's clear why she looked so much better in her Fremont pics. That photographer clearly had no idea how to make her comfortable and bring out her personality. She was having fun in her Fremont pictures and it showed. She looked tense and awkward in the staged photo-shoot. He's what they call in the photography/modeling world a GWC - or Guy With a Camera. He has no other qualification except that he owns a camera, has enough money to book studio time and can set up some lights. It would sure have been nice to find some more modeling pics taken by a talented photographer. Having said that - it was still cool to be able to see so much more of her! Does anyone know if she participated in any years besides 2009 and 2013? Looking forward to June 22...
