Mudflats

My friend took my son and I to discover some mudflats where a river meets the sea. Our kids had fun being carried and pulled along via boogie board against the tide. We gave ourselves a peat moss mud scrub, followed by some salty quartz-filled sand exfoliation. The texture of the mud is so playful and sticky, and the riverbed sand is quite captivating.

My next shoot is of Egyptian goddess Ma'at with radiant beauty Victoria. Ma'at means "wise one". She is the all-seeing eye whose manifestation predated The Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra. Ma'at (thought to be pronounced Mu'at) is the Goddess of harmony, order and truth. Went to Wicked Thrift, the best vintage store this side of the Mississippi. Bought a cute red dress that zips up the front and an Egyptian Goddess necklace with lapis lazuli colored stone. Went to Joanne's fabrics for an ostrich feather and fabrics.

My long-time friend Izumi (designer, drink formulator, marketing director and gorgeous priestess-in-essence) is visiting from NYC in a couple of days. Inari is the Japanese Goddess of sexuality. Her name means "lady fox". Her Shinto and Buddhist temples are painted red and are all over Japan....Looks like there may be some mud involved.
