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. ♥

Log in to replySO much nineties, this is amazing!!!!! The HAIR of the first woman! In little knots!! Omgggg
Log in to replySo 90s it hurts. Come on guys, this is 2012.
Log in to replywait are you trying to say 90′s is a bad thing? WHO ARE YOU?
Log in to replyoh my god this rocks so much! so so beautiful!
Log in to replyGeeze. Why are all of your models soooo thin? Curves, please!
Log in to replyThis reminds me of the fashion in Never Been Kissed!
Log in to replyThese are really beautiful! The horned ribboned hair feels really anime. You definitely captured a beautiful mood!
Log in to replyWow! The colours in this are beautiful!! As are the clothes!!
I have set up a fan club for readers of Rookie in the UK at http://www.facebook.com/RookieMagUk so please join us!!
Log in to replyRookie it would be so, so cool if we could buy some of your beautiful photoshoot pictures as posters, or packs of postcards? I’d love to have some of these (especially that shoot with all the glitter and stuff on the pictures oh my god) up in my room, but if I print them out they’ll come out crappy!
Log in to replyMaybe put these on a USB key and go to a photo station (not sure of the word) where you can print photos from a USB key.
Log in to replyAlso some websites allow you to print photos for less than in a photo station and get these mailed, etc. You just have to upload the pictures in .jpg or whatever format. Like Photobox, there are others; search “print photos online” on a search engine.
It would be better if the money went to Rookie, though :(
I really love the atmosphere. and I love in the third one how she’s taller than the guy. the styling is perfect and the tones of the photographs are wonderful, they’re really timeless.
great job erica (as per usual!)
also by the way rookie editor folks the link about the road trip links to tumblr log in (a page that says ‘sign in’ pops up) not to the post on the rookie blog.
Log in to replyI love 6,7,8,14 and 15, so practically all of them, the ‘aura’ of them is breath-taking.

Log in to replyperfect perfect perfect, my 90s dream
Log in to replyErica! You are brilliant.
Log in to replyDoes anyone else think that the girl in the photo on the right in #1 looks like Natalie Portman?
Also, the sunglasses are wonderful
Log in to replyThe guy is totes cute
Log in to replyI love that you’ve got a shorter guy smooching a tall girl! I’m tall myself and there are hardly EVER tall girl/shorter guy relationships in the media :(
ps. I love everything in this shoot!!
Log in to replythe 90s feel in these is unbeatable. it’s pure magic!
Log in to replyWhere are the heels in #16 from?!? They are glorious! This shoot is fantastic!

I am over the moon with the 90′s vibes of this whole shoot. Why can’t I be living in the 90′s right now? Like, why?
Log in to replygod god god those black flatform sandal things.
Log in to replySuch a 90s vibe, I love it. Major nostalgia. One of my faves to date!
Log in to replyAMAZING
Log in to replyThis has got to be one of my favorite spreads! I can remember when people dressed like this-makes me feel old and nostalgic :-( I LOVE IT THOUGH :-)!
Log in to replyOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
This is so cool, lots of late 90s vibez. Picture 14 sorta reminds me of Vyvyan from The Young Ones.

Log in to replyRookie, please do a tutorial on how to do the hair horns. Please.
Log in to replyI am so, so going to DIY those sunglasses oh my goodness. These are lovely photographs.
Log in to replyWow. This looks so strange and fascinating. It makes me think of : 90s/”white trash”/alien/Japan/drug hallucinations. Don’t know whether it’s what you had in mind when taking these photos, but they really give off a feeling of total weirdness. I could just stare at them for hours…
Log in to replyI don’t have enough words to describe the impressions these photos give me.
In short, this photo series is awesome. Thanks Erica, and thanks Rookie for being so inspiring!
