Motel#6

Hanh and I have not done a shoot together for a long time.  It’s so nice to get together with another friend and blogger to talk about fashion, laugh and discuss about the many interests we have in common. It is so rare to find some one who enjoys doing the same things as you and its wonderful to find common ground, especially with a great girl like Hanh.

The idea for the theme of this shoot is that both of us are staying at a really dirty motel. We are bored, so we play games and get drunk. The whole idea was to do something opposite of our real lifestyle and to experiment. In real life alcohol and gambling are too cool for us. We both love fashion but we are very low maintenance. I hope you all enjoy the photos. xoxo Nini Nguyen

  20. July 13th, 2009 at 00:58 | #20

    You both look stunning. You should totally get into modeling, I think it’s amazing how you two found each other because you compliment each other so well… on to another topic: question, what was the drink of choice for the shoot? : )

  21. July 13th, 2009 at 01:16 | #21

    I completely agree Nini, it is very rare to find people you truly relate to, understand, and connect with. I’m glad you’ve fond that in Hanh, she seems really sweet, I read her blog..

    Nini, I really think this shoot is superb, it’s really very chic and very in touch with my sensibility… and don’t worry, I’m too cool for alcohol too LOL and.. not to mention a little underage at 17 lol ;)

    Nini I really love your blog and I really connect to your perspective of life in general and fashion… you seem like someone i’d love to hang out with haha. Keep it coming =) As there are few people in this world, in just the same way there are few blogs you feel at home reading and this is one of them for me :) )

    Good Luck for all that you do and I’d love to know more about you, and your career in general, it seems your very calm,confident, collected and intelligent… and handle life with the same approach.. and that’s exactly why I admire this blog.
    Like minded people are few and far apart in this world :)

    Oh and I have a request; Can you do a post on wardrobe essentials.

    July 13th, 2009 at 11:14 | #34

    you guys are a fucking joke, this is by far the worst thing you have ever done and you have done A LOT of bad stuff. YOU AND HAHN ARE NOT MODELS – you are wanna be fashion victims – GET OVER YOURSELVES!!

  35. July 13th, 2009 at 11:15 | #35

    Woooow AND It really would be such a Pleasure to taste the wine until intoxication with such a Stunning duo, “Fashion Sorority” is as such a Haughty state with You !!! I really like the way your usual “GLAMazon-esque” prestance adorns itself of a “Retro/Femme Fatale” vibrancy , the so Bewitching way you subtly unveils the top of your tights, the last picture’s lost Shoe effect, which sounds a a “Fetishistic” invite to take care of your pretty feet . . . AND this anthology is far to be exhaustif !!!

    These are so fabulous. Well-shot and the fashion is superb as well. Great lighting, positioning, expressions.

    I linked you at my blog :)

  38. July 13th, 2009 at 11:22 | #38

    This photo set is SO COOL!

    I love the way you styled the sweat shorts.

    You and Hanh look gorgeous, these are really professional quality.

  39. July 13th, 2009 at 12:29 | #39

    All i can say is STUNNING!

  40. July 13th, 2009 at 14:09 | #40

    I can’t get over you two – so stunning and fabulous

  41. July 13th, 2009 at 14:22 | #41

    i think the both of you compliment with each other so well, totally different types of looks and sexiness but yet, still can’t do without one another. your outfits are so cool too. keep it up. hope to see some more of these shoots.

  42. July 13th, 2009 at 14:25 | #42

    wow this is a great shoot.
    you both look rock n roll! :)

    the pictures look so clear !

  43. July 13th, 2009 at 14:26 | #43

    by the way ignore angel.
    why not show off their beautiful clothes?
    if you don’t like it…. don’t read it?

  44. July 13th, 2009 at 14:52 | #44

    This is incredible–as everyone mentioned, it looks like something out of Vogue or Elle. And did I mention you two look amazing?!

    Hi angel,

    It’s sad that you have chosen a nickname “angel” yet your words are simply the opposite. Anyway, we are just having fun of what we love to do. I am sorry and very sad to see a reader that hates it so much, yet keep coming back. All I know is that we have a blast whenever we have a chance to play around with what we love, photography and fashion. I know that you will always visit this site at least 10 times a day and Nini will thank you for that :-) . I hope you have a wonderful day angel.

  52. July 13th, 2009 at 19:48 | #52
