Candice, a [mainstream] modified model friend of BME who I’ve been featuring here periodically for years now (1 2 3 4 5), sends in this photo from a high profile fashion shoot she just did for the British Hair Awards.

this is very pretty, more women should be willing to shave their heads in my opinion :D
Cardboardfrog on April 2nd, 2008 at 4:53 pmShe’s pretty :D
greendayfan333 on April 2nd, 2008 at 4:53 pmAlthough she’s a model so that was a pretty dumb thing to say!
That’s nice to see.
The Darthside on April 2nd, 2008 at 4:56 pmI think mainstream modelling is a terrible job (you’re not told how to do your job, but how to BE, which I think fucks with your head more than any job should), and I also see the issues with the mainstreaming of bodymods etc.
Still, I think it’s important to have models who look different from time to time, because it does remind people that there’s more than one kind of beauty. And for the past few years, that’s been pretty marginalized. There was Eve in the mid-90’s, who had a huge dragon inked on her bald head; I don’t remember seeing “freak” models much since then.
Anyhoo, very nice pic, and way to go.
And just to clarify my own post, I do realize there’s always been a few runway models with tattoos/mods, but Eve did seem to get popular at the peak of a trend, and then it died off… But I’ll quit rambling now.
The Darthside on April 2nd, 2008 at 5:05 pmShe is gorgeous, always enjoy seeing her stuff posted.
Frester on April 2nd, 2008 at 5:26 pmI realise this is not really at all related to the post but since we’re talking about mainstreaming mods, I got quite a surprise when I saw a guy with full sleeve tattoo holding a baby on a children’s panadol ad on telly the other day! It was really prominent, and was such a surprise, I mean, you see that on the street and don’t blink, but on tv, especially here in Australia, it’s just not done. Sign of the times hey?
Glynnavyre on April 2nd, 2008 at 5:36 pmwhat a gorgeous photo
fuus on April 2nd, 2008 at 5:44 pmShe has such a perfectly smooth and nicely-shaped skull and such good cheekbones, her (mostly) shaved head really suits her. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of Candice that wasn’t just lovely. I honestly don’t even notice her piercings, she’s such a striking-looking woman.
Lori St.Leone on April 2nd, 2008 at 5:47 pmis it bad that the first thing i think when i see her is sexy sinead o’connor? anyway, i love all her photos and wish i saw more strtched lobes on the catwalk.
Sade on April 2nd, 2008 at 6:43 pmFor some reason she just reminds me of Keira Knightly in this picture.. am i the only one who thinks so?
Shala on April 2nd, 2008 at 6:53 pmShe can preserve my best traditions of the navy any day - Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash!
Coffee on April 2nd, 2008 at 7:23 pmShe is gorgeous.
Bambi on April 2nd, 2008 at 7:39 pm#10,shes not as sickenly skinny as miss knightley.if she looked totally different she’d look like her :D
Tom For Real on April 2nd, 2008 at 7:51 pmi wish my shadow was purple :(
OMG She is so goreous!!! Absolutely beautiful!
Britt on April 2nd, 2008 at 8:11 pmI understand why it’s hair awards - I LOVE that hair.
(..and I realize half of it is the photo shoot, too - kudos to the photographer.)
akibare on April 2nd, 2008 at 10:45 pmB-B-BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
MR.C on April 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 pmgorgeousness. she’s got manly hands though. sexy
izakku on April 3rd, 2008 at 12:35 amShe’s beautiful, and I agree with #15. Is her hair shaved in a jagged line near the front or is that just the way it happens to be falling? I like the idea of it being uneven.
Cosette on April 3rd, 2008 at 12:42 amTitle - Seinfeld? XD
Fluorescent Panda on April 3rd, 2008 at 3:18 am#3 It seems to me this lady did not listen too much and she is just what she wants to be…
Tapsa on April 3rd, 2008 at 9:31 amThat is a disturbing yet beautiful photo.
charles on April 3rd, 2008 at 11:20 amGorgeous photograph, gorgeous model. :)
Robyn on April 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 pmStriking is certainly the word. She has a gorgeous bone structure and also the photo is really awsome too.
Aubrey on April 3rd, 2008 at 2:18 pmThis girl is amazing.
David on April 3rd, 2008 at 3:08 pmShe looks like a Victorian pirate about to shackle some unsuspecting stowaways. Awesome.
Darah on April 3rd, 2008 at 3:24 pmThis picture is absolutely amazing. I love it so much.
cirrin on April 3rd, 2008 at 3:52 pmI would gladly let her do a lot to me, but no way she’s gonna give me a handjob with those nails.
Apart from that I am totally impressed with her beauty, also in the previous posts. She made me visit modblog even more then I normally do today.
animal on April 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pmHaha puffy shirt!!!
I like the hair!
VOMIT on April 3rd, 2008 at 4:54 pmYes she’s hot and all, but shave the head bald and shes on Fuego!
SpeedoApe on April 3rd, 2008 at 4:57 pmSpeedo
OMGOSH I LOVE her hair! I also love her ears :D The bottom lip piercing I like, but I’m not too keen of the top one, I don’t know, I have something weird about top lips and big studs… She’s really beautiful though :D
Modenbenoni on April 3rd, 2008 at 5:34 pmListen to much? Please specify.
And to 10: because of V for Vendetta, that’s why.
The Darthside on April 3rd, 2008 at 7:31 pmshe’s too pretty for words, everytime there’s a picture of her I always wish my head was nice enough to be shaven.
and v for vendetta was natalie portman, not keira knightley
brand-new on April 3rd, 2008 at 9:46 pm“Listen to much? Please specify”
Was it referred to my comment? In #3 you commented (quite correctly) that mainstream models are told how to be and added that this, well, “fuck thei heads” to use your own words. Well I might be wrong but I have the feeling that this model is not what she was told to be but rather what she wanted to (I am speaking of physical appearence)… Of course I might be wrong but it would really make me sad to think she looks how she looks just because a model agency needed an alternative look and I don’t even want to consider such a possibility…
Tapsa on April 4th, 2008 at 8:05 amSorry I missed the point again, I meant that IF someone told her how to be she did not listen and become what she wanted. It is clearer what I meant?
Tapsa on April 4th, 2008 at 8:07 amBeautiful, as always. She is so striking.
angelicfruitcake on April 4th, 2008 at 6:09 pmShe is just one of the most beautiful women who feature on modblog. I always love seeing pictures of Candice!
possessed on April 4th, 2008 at 7:44 pmOkay, then I didn’t makle myself clear enough: mainstream models *usually* only look how they get told to look, and that messes with their brains (if they weren’t messed up before), so it’s good to see an exception.
The Darthside on April 5th, 2008 at 7:53 pmWhich still of course doesn’t change the fact that she got hired for a certain look, and that she’s still beautiful by conventional standards etc. (which is a compliment by the way, but beauty standards are still beauty standards.
Beautiful!
PiercingBunny on April 6th, 2008 at 2:44 am#37 In other words we were trying to say the same… ;^)
Tapsa on April 6th, 2008 at 7:14 pmshe’s beautiful. this photo makes me want my mohawk back
