Artist Rei Nadal offers a unique take on 'Fashion Fetish' by curating the SHOWstudio Tumblr for a one-week period from 2-8 April 2012 inclusive. Her work juxtaposes found imagery with phrases and self-portraits - postmodern poetry for the digital age - fuelled in this instance by a selection of objects, cosmetics and fashion items delivered daily to her home, and documented here.

Pink-ness No. 6 by Lisa Z Morgan - 'Enclosed you will find a bottle of Pink-Ness No.6. The following instructions are to take you through a process, which, I hope, you and the perfume will gain most from experientially. Let us begin: Sit down. Open the bottle. Try to resist smelling the perfume directly out of the bottle. Dip the thin white paper strip into the scent and remove. The alcohol, which the scent is preserved in, needs a little time to evaporate. Allow about a minute for this to take place. This process can be speeded up a little by gently waving/shaking/agitating the strip. Now close your eyes and inhale very slowly. Repeat as often as desired. What happens next is entirely up to you. You can apply the scent to your skin or to someone else’s, see how the scent smells in 5 minutes or an hour etc. etc. etc. Take your time to engage/yield/play with the scent, being aware of how you feel and how your body naturally responds during the experience.'
