The cold side of fashion
We shot our Nov cover story this past week and unlike the West Coast or down South, it’s cold here in Chicago. We got completely gypped out of summer AND our indian summer! The forcast that day was a tropical 60 degrees. We maybe got close to 50? Then there’s the wind that takes that number down another 10 degrees. The wind just whips off the lake and…#@%)^T*($!! But like those killer shoes, we do it for some fashion 
I have to say, the fashion, the photography and the weather did make our hearts beat that much faster
The dynamic duo, Karl & Michelle
There’s Ms Nicole, our hair & makeup artist, trying to stay warm in a doorway and ‘guarding’ all our gear. Who says fashion isn’t glamourous?
ahhhh….there’s a better picture of Nicole
many thanks to…
Karl Rothenberger, photographer extraordinaire
Michelle Hicks, model extraordinaire
Nicole Schimel, hair & makeup artist & security guard extraordinaire
Katie Piotraschke, intern extraordinaire
