ROXY: Jennifer Smith

If fashion needs music, then, I need surfing.

In October i flew out to San Diego to do a photo shoot with two Roxy longboarders, Kassia Meador and Jennifer Smith.
The whole Roxy team, not excluding Kassia and Jenn embody the meaning of a strong female; which i'd like to think has an impact on the way I perceive women and how i think they should carry themselves.

The two girls are like the yin and yang of the water. Kassia's grace captivates you both in water and on land, and the
intractable Jenn is reminenscent of Joan Jett. Both girls possess an energy that I want to convert into photographs.
Hopefully, you will see an example of that in the February issue of Bust Magazine.

Recently, Jenn was in town so I stopped by the Roxy showroom in Times Square where Spring 08 bikini's lined the walls. Its easy to imagine celebrity types wearing these few inches of fabric on the beach, but the reality is that these pro-riders are wearing it. My question is: How do you keep your goodies from falling out?
