PULP GIRL OF THE WEEK: RACHEL

THE MESMERIZING RACHEL

Rachel can be described as the unexpected type of beauty due only to the fact that she downplays her stunning features quite often! The first time we met her, as we were applying her makeup, she apologized for her "shyness". We don't think we'll ever forget that because this so called shyness that she mentioned is never apparent when she's in front of the camera. Rachel always seems ultra aware of how she moves her body and what works in a photo relating to her expressions. Honestly, scanning through her photos it was hard to choose only two per shoot!! It's unbelievable how versatile she is as a model, transforming with astounding ease from shoot to shoot. Not to mention... she's probably one of the nicest and most down-to-earth girls we'd ever hope to meet.

first shoot: upper-class prom in stretching field- Oct 2010.

second shoot: 1950's good-girls-gone-bad- Oct 2010.

third: vengeance-seeking vixens in a candy-colored hotel room- Nov 2010.

forth shoot: bourgeois daze at the tennis courts- Dec 2010.

fifth shoot: purely film in the forest- Dec 2010.

sixth shoot: floral print comes to life in the night- Jan 2011.

seventh shoot: foxes in the field- Jan 2011.

eighth mini-shoot: ringing in the new year PULP-style- Jan 2011.

ninth mini-shoot: one with a mystical creature- Jan 2011.

tenth shoot: high-tea on a snowy afternoon- Jan 2011.

eleventh shoot: way far out camper days- Jan 2011.

PULP GIRL OF THE WEEK: MARYKATE

THE CAPTIVATING MARYKATE

MaryKate radiates the same perfect, earthy loveliness as the summer's day we met her atop a Connecticut dam. It was actually our very first shoot that included a storyline, and it was she and her fellow model Garye who made that expressive shoot possible! MaryKate is a total natural in front of the camera, with that indispensable ability to communicate through the lens. We love love love her aptitude for embracing and running with the story of a shoot. She could easily be a gypsy beauty, traversing mystical forests in a caravan of troubadours, or a disillusioned schoolgirl in search of an adventure, taking an enchanted shortcut home. MaryKate's beautiful soul shines in her photos!

FIRST SHOOT: Bandit runaways atop a woodland dam! May 2010

SECOND SHOOT: Rebellious schoolgirls transformed into free-spirited, chandelier-eyed nymphs!

20 Questions with MaryKate

NAME: MaryCatherine Carey Burnell
STATE: The only living girl in Connecticut
ZODIAC: Gemini, Gemini rising- I’m quadruplets
SPIRIT ANIMAL: I’m usually told I’m either a cat or a bird. Conundrum?
FAVORITE ERA: Paleolithic
IN TEN YEARS I'D LIKE TO BE...: sane, healthy, much more well-traveled, and that much closer to enlightenment
WHO'S YOUR IDOL: I don’t really have one
FAVORITE FICTIONAL CHARACTER: Naboo from the Mighty Boosh
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT MODELING FOR PULP: Acting out the ‘story’ of the shoot, inspired by the gorgeous clothes and settings.
FAVORITE PULP SHOOT: Chandelier Girls was freezing, but I had a blast with that Jesus statue
FAVORITE PULP ITEM YOU'VE MODELED: I might have to buy those tank tops from last summer for this summer.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM PULP PHOTOSHOOT: on board a clipper ship. OR A DIRIGIBLE OH MY GOD. Or a fabulous summertime on-the-run-from-Johnny-Law scenario.
PET PEEVES: open mouthed gum chewers, willful ignorance or small-mindedness
FAVORITE STYLE: Amelia Earhart, 19th century nautical looks, and early American explorers
FAVORITE SONG AT THIS MOMENT: I’ve been listening to Owen Pallett’s latest EP, A Swedish Love Story. It’s really beautiful
FAVORITE MOVIE AT THIS MOMENT: At this moment I don’t think I have one of those either.
ON A RAINY DAY I...: revel in the opportunity to wear my Hunter boots
FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF: My positivity and my impeccable spelling
THE FIVE THINGS YOU'D TAKE TO A DESERT ISLAND: guitar, paper/pens, weed, bowl, lighter
