Azul opens the new set of birthday photos taken in a new location (this time we're shooting in a specialized room inside our house, right outside of NRC, so they won't have to walk too far from the school!), this year's theme being 'Artisanal Fashion'! The birthday boy is sporting the following items in case you're interested in stealing his look:

* Embroidered belt (in purple) by Idna Ladies Association

* Pin - Peace Dove (Mother-of-Pearl) by Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative

* Palestine Coin Necklace (gold) and Bethlehem Olive Wood Bracelet by Paliroots

Remember to also do your daily click! It's free (Azul approved)!

Deuce's birthday began like most of his days, with "a very annoying red chicken-like head waking me up" (his own words, not ours), and apparently said chicken followed him all the way from the campus to our studio with a radio on his shoulder playing a rather loud and cursed version of 'Happy Birthday'. He didn't stop the music even while we were taking his picture. Sorry Deuce, happy pride tho. You can get his look here:

Vil honored us with his presence in our studio today with an exclusive sneek-peek of one of his newest fashion collabs, right before leaving in order to attend his latest event just as fast as he had arrived, he's truly comparable to a firework, ephimeral and blindingly beautiful, except he's not as loud and damaging to sensitive ears-- (Epel and Leona disapprove). You can steal his look here!

Apologies for our tardiness, we got caught up in Kalim's massive birthday celebration (like always) and had to take a couple days to regain our composure, at least enough to write. This year, he wanted to make his party open to the public outside of Night Raven in order to turn it into a charity event, for both the College and for certain countries in need of assistance. He's so kind! (ignore the giant crow that reacted from hearing that).

Today's birthday boy was slightly difficult to work with, not because he was rude or anything, but mostly because he fell asleep at least 3 times before we managed to take his picture. We had to call Lilia and Sebek to help us keep him awake for long enough, but we ended up giving him some of Deira's strongest coffee she keeps in reserve and it worked wonders! We told him to keep a few bags of the thing as a gift. You can get his outfit here for a good nights rest:

if you see that our birthday boy is posing very glamorously, just know that there's a very loud Vil behind the camera giving him pointers. He also made us switch accesories and outfits like crazy, but for some strange reason, Epel seemed to enjoy it?? Our guess is that he liked the clothes (specially the sleeveless one, said he has been working out his arms lately, so). You can find his outfit here!

Ruggie's always giving his all in his jobs (yes, plural) and he arrived today with the same enthusiasm, mostly because it's his birthday and he knows how we celebrate in this house, so we let him choose a few outfits for the photoshoot knowing that he gets to keep them! You can copy his looks here!
