LaurieAnna - Photography by Cassone's May 2010 Feature

It has been almost two full year's since I featured LauriaAnna the first time back in June of 2008. She was an instant hit on my various websites and the slideshow from that first set still remains one of my most viewed videos on my YouTube channel.

Since then, she has grown even more as a model with a work ethic that is outstanding and as dynamic as the end result our collaborations have brought.

She is not only a fan favorite from my sites, but one of my favorite muses. I look forward to bringing more works with her in the future and I can not express enough how proud I am of her, and I hope by the time you finish looking at this set you will see why.

WINNERS from Season 8 of "Getting Ready" & The Cassone Channels Revealed

I am proud to bring you the winners for The 2010 Cassone Channel Honors for the Best of Season 8 from The Cassone Channels on YouTube. While season 7 was the Getting Ready series' least viewed season, season 8 was certainly the lowest in voter turnout. However, on average each category had about 35 voters. This, of course, was disappointing to me, but we still have winners - and I am proud of each and every one of them. Season 9 nomination will be announced on this blog on Sunday, October 3rd to round out this award's year when I will also announce all of the Sister Channel category winners.
