I think it’s a fashion shoot… Not being
fashionable myself, it’s kinda hard to tell.
A few comments:
1.) The Intrawebs give us global reach for information--I found
myself
kinda surprised that I got a nudge to The LA2Day ( me, here in West
Coastia, North America) from a Melbournian.
2.) Things are going on in and behind the scenes of these photos
that
not clear from looking at them and reading the credits. I get a
feeling
that there is an ongoing group or event runner in LA producing
shoots
like this with some sort of underlying magical intention. Maybe to
heighten
the magical charge associated with a fashion style/scene already
somewhat
associated with fashion and the entertainment biz.
[The academic sort of question, I suppose, is: Are any folks looking
at
the fashion-magic interface?]
3.) I do not get any draw toward magic in general or Crowley's
approach
to magic in particular from these photos. But, after I looked at
them twice,
I realized that I had already seen a few of them posted on other
sexy/
fashion web sites. Without a hint of their magic-themed origins.
What I'm scratching my head about is just how much such photos
would or could draw anybody toward magic or Crowley? Especially
after they had been uprooted from any context and posted as single
images in Intraweb isolation or in a scrapbook context?
Now, I will add that I have found individual fashion photos
presented
on the Intrawebs powerfully resonant with magical themes and
energies
and my own experience. But they would not have been if I had not
already developed an integrated magical world view.
Lastly, I gotta say that my first take on your post's title,
Caroline, was
that you were making some kind of clever play on Crowley's name--
"Arty Crowley!"
