Those two ladies ROCKS!!!!
Personally I like E.Alt more, but that's just because she dresses in a style I find really really cool and appealing, and much easier to approach. Carine is so funny cos she dresses like a lady, Femme Fatale, and she is SO feminine, but combined with her rock'n roll hair and poses it just makes her style untouchable in a way. I love it when you put ladies here, not only young girls..! Thanks Scott, you're doing a fabulous job.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed! Percy B, whoever you are, I came to comment the same thing, and you beat me to it (yours happens to be the last comment at the moment I"m posting).
There's something almost touchingly 'little girl' about the editor of Paris Vogue having a signature pose: it's like she's practiced it in the mirror. It's uncanny that you caught it in black, and then white.
It goes without saying, both women look SO RAD!!

Dude, the second one…what a shot. Love the minimalism of the bare concrete wall. Concrete – the ultimate building material invented by us Italians. But I digress…
She is reminiscent of a well dressed agent, international spy, personal minder whose lethal capabilities are only betrayed by her very feminine disposition. The type of woman you can't help but gravitate towards regardless of the nagging voice in the back of your skull which tells you she's going to strangle you with her bra or acquaint you intimately with the dense qualities of the wall.
Dangerous, gorgeous, lethal, feminine. Like a moth to the flame Purely for the challenge, I would stand no chance.

Everytime I see this lady she looks like she is mad a the world. She reminds me of a high school teacher I had who at the time was the most stylish woman I have ever seen, but she never smiled and that just took all of her style away. As President and CEO of “A Stylish Way Of Life”, I have learned that true style is so much more than just having having a sharp outfit on. It is mostly about the way you carry yourself and the vibe you project.
