“Readers love this shot, and they’re always asking how we created this bustier of pine nuts. Very simple: we glued them on. One by one. Actually, we started with handfuls, but then filled in the holes with individual nuts. We used a costume glue that peels off easily, but if you want to try it at home, I recommend honey or corn syrup or peanut butter. The model, who I found standing in line at an Indian restaurant, was a great sport through the entire tedious process. After we applied the majority of the nuts, she crossed her legs and we poured more pine nuts in her lap to give the look of a complete bathing suit. After the shoot, we peeled off the entire bustier in one piece. The monochromatic look of her golden hair, bronzed skin, and golden pine nuts reinforces the buttery, rich quality of this aphrodisiac.”

(I bet she and that basil chick would make some beautiful pesto together, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN*.)
