Video of the day.  Rebecca Stirm has a behind the scenes video out for Earth Day, and she has a dress made with organic materials, like fungus.  She has the talented Vanessa Awe doing makeup.  It was shot around Roaring Creek, near Guanacaste National Park.  Well done.

Monica Gallardo has released some incredible pictures from her photoshoot at the Belize Zoo.  Miss Belize, Destinee Arnold is in some of them, as are some newlyweds.  You get a good behind the scenes look of the photoshoot, and get to see some of the animals at the zoo, including Lucky Boy.  Joris Hendrik designed the dress that Destinee wore.  Great shots, Monica!

 

"When She explained the shoot it all sounded very fun and exciting but never did I expect her to tell me a wedding editorial shoot at the ZOO!"
