Nuclear Smile - Vogue Flashbacks

(after: British Vogue, Aug 1919 by Lepape)

Madame Letique had always wanted a tropical island to call her home. So when some of her friends told her that they could arrange an underhand deal with Kim Jong-il to acquire some prime North Korean island real estate, she jumped at the opportunity.

A the state funded banquet held in honor of Madame Letique taking residence in the charming totalitarian state, 3200 toddlers performed an elaborate 6 hour synchronised dance. At the end of the dance, whichever performers had not succumbed and been swept off the stage, bowed graciously at the glamorous foreigner.

Weeks later as M. Letique was settling into her neoclassical abode. She had just received a shipment of rare tropical birds. She was feeding one of these birds, the rarest of them all, the long tailed red amazonian macaw (porropenis-amazonius-psittacines), when a majestic plume appeared in the distance. As radiant as the sun, it's warmth brought a iridescent smile to her face, M. Letique mistook the sensation for being a smile only because she had no sense organs that could detect the searing radiation that overtook her small island. As her macaw vapourised before her eyes she realised that in fact her smile was melting off her face.

Vogue Flashbacks - Summer Shimmer

Mandy has been trying to go pro in tennis for the last 10 years. She has just the right build for it too: supermodel legs, gymnasts arms, child's waist. But no matter what her coaches said she would just refuse to wear practical clothing to her matches.

She always insisted: "If Serena can wear braids, beads and a catsuit, why cant I wear sequined pants with a faux-fur top?" Never the less she remained high ranking in the US semi-pro rankings, using her trademark 'top reveal' at the most inopportune moment for her competitor. In the most talked of 'reveal' Mandy ripped off her crocodile skin vest to reveal her bare breasts covered with only small duct tape x's. Suffice it to say that she got her duce and won the advantage, as her competitor stood open-mouthed till the match had ended.

Vogue Flashbacks - Goodbye Cruel World

(After: British Vogue, 16 March 1932, Benito) 

Janice waves goodbye to her husband as he leaves for a truffle hunting expedition in the furthest reaches of France. Janice hasn't had a good salmon-truffle soufflé since the end of the WWI and it had really just gotten too much to bare. Sure the food rations had stopped, but what was the point of salty-cracks without beluga caviar?

So it came to be that Janice threatened to kill herself, unless at least three, medium sized, full strength, French truffles were delivered to her by the next morning.
