Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
I think it’s great that you use white and black models but we hardly see Asian or Hispanic models… perhaps you could do more things that embrace differences.
Log in to replyWe definitely want to use models that look like every kind of girl! We’ve used Asian & Hispanic models in a lot of shoots, actually:

Log in to replyLOVVVE! These are so me and its makes me so sad i’ll never go to a 70′s Disco like this! But at least I have Rookie for photoshoots like these!
This is perfect too, for me anyway, cause I just bought a pair of platform sneakers at a thrift store!
Cleaned ‘em up with some Goo-Gone, added new laces, rolled up my jeans, and I’M READY TO BOOGIE! ;)
*Who loves platform sneakers*
*THIS GUY*!

Log in to replyOh wow such a nice shoot! Forgive my rabble rousing, but I just want Rookie to do better/more than other publications. I’m glad you keep artistic integrity while actually giving the fans alot of the things we crave.
Log in to replyDon’t apologize; we love rabble-rousers. And we are honored that you expect so much from us.

Log in to reply#4 is insane! Love this a lot.
Log in to replySo pretty! I really, really like #11
Log in to replyThe eye makeup is so spectacular but whenever I try to do it I end up with eyeshadow and liner smeared all over my face:(
Log in to replyit’s important to use primer when you’re doing eye makeup, it lasts longer and keeps the colors more vibrant. :)
Log in to replyLove these. Love four, six, and ten. Petra’s photos are always so lovely! I’m totally obsessed. Rookie is life.
Log in to replyOnce I though you were doing photo shoots too repetitive, even with different topics. I felt the same thing almost every time (with a FEW exceptions) and I needed more of you, because I knew you are all so creative! Then I saw the last photo shoot, the “Lonely Hearts Club”, and I kind of changed my mind. But I just have to wait for the upcoming photo shoots to see if my opinion stays the same from now or if I go back thinking that it is all limited. I am not telling you to change, I am just giving my opinion. ;) Good luck with RookieMag.com
Log in to replyAmazing photo shoot! I am in LOVE with the disco references and vintage-style photography.
