Silly Wolf Spirit Hood

In all my years of picture-taking, I’ve noticed I have two modes: Model face and Derp face. There is no inbetween. The angular, don’t-you-even-think-about-smiling model face is my usual go-to when my spidey senses go off that a camera is near. But every photographer I’ve worked with knows that it’s not a true photoshoot with me until there’s derp face. In 0.5 seconds I’ll go from intense Vogueing to my tonge hanging out like a total goofball. But laughter is good for the soul! Life is far too short to take yourself seriously all the time. So while I was doing my model thing for the previous Spirit Hood post, there were a bunch of silly outtakes that were just fun to hide away. May this spread some joy and bring a smile to your face!

Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth.

When you get an itch you can’t quite reach…

“INCOMING!!!”

That moment of abject terror when my roommate’s husband (also known as my other roommate/landlord/brother-from-another-mother) came to check out the photoshoot only to start hurdling snowball’s at me for good “photo effect”.

My life flashed before my eyes

The look of having wet, cold snow in my gloves

BRING IT ON

Man, the faces I make sometimes….Anyways, I was not able to get my quick-footed roommate back and quickly succumbed the freezing temperatures. So I called a cease-fire to get our frigid bums back inside for some hot chocolate. Ah, it was a fun day.

There’s STILL snow in my gloves!

Wolf Spirit Hood

Grey Wolf Spirit Hood. Made in California. Worn by The Lady Nerd. Photographed by The Gluttonous GeekI’m not quite sure when my desire for a Spirit Hood started, or even why, but over the past few years I’ve grown to adore them. There’s just something so whimsical about these furry hats! Harkening back to childhood I suppose, in a rather Neverland’s Lost Boys kind of way. I can’t wear one and not smile (oh don’t worry, there’s an entire blog post of silly derp faces in this hood coming soon).

Happiness in a Grey Wolf Spirit Hood. Made in California. Worn by The Lady Nerd. Photographed by The Gluttonous GeekMy favourite animal is the wolf. There are plenty of other animals I am fond of, but my longest zoological love has been for canis lupus. I have fond memories of spending hours at the wolf exhibit at Grassmere Wildlife Reserve (before it became the Nashville Zoo). Later on, I did a short summer program as one of their junior zoologists. Of course that meant scooping the poo out of cages more than anything else, but I didn’t care. I was so happy to be on the “other” side of the fence. From then until the wolf exhibit was taken out of the zoo, I’d come every summer to see those majestic creatures (I’d swear the lone wolf always seemed very happy to see me…). A few years ago I had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of shooting with a beautiful Timberwolf rescue named Breeze. (You can see the photoshoot right here!) So when I saw Spirit Hoods, the mature fashionista disappeared and wolf-loving kid Briana showed up instead.

Photographed by The Gluttonous GeekNow, Spirit Hoods run a bit on the pricier side at $99-$300 USD, but that’s due to the high quality faux-fur products being handmade in California. Being the starving artist I am, I had put off getting a Spirit Hood as some future thing, but thanks to a sweet friend’s surprise generosity, I became the proud owner of a Grey Wolf Spirit Hood. I LOVE IT! It’s surprisingly warm with pawkets (oh the puns) and little hidden pocket to store small items like keys or a credit card. A portion of the proceeds also go to conservation of various endangered animals (pretty nifty!). Among them are Predator Defense, Snow Leopard Conservancy, Panthera, Pandas International, and Polar Bears International.

Not only does it make me happy, but it automatically seems to bring smiles to others (I’ve been known to wear it on set when it gets cold, much to the crew’s amusement). So I decided it was high time to document said happiness. For the first time in years we had snow here in Atlanta, so I batted my eyelashes at my roommates and out we went into our backyard to snap some pictures (complete with cheap fangs I bought a while back for some costume…).
