Marin Kitagawa [original bikini outfit] (My Dress Up Darling)
This is one of the most "on a whim" shoots I've done. I think I shot it on a random Wednesday? (And then struggled with typing the next day at work with the fake nails still on!)
As you all know, I adore beach shoots. They're a lot of fun to plan and shoot, and it really makes me feel like summer to do one. In 2023 I hadn't done one yet, so I ordered a bikini that looks like something Marin would wear (really gyarumaxxing with that style!), grabbed a hat and a wig, put on makeup, and my partner and I drove out to the beach to shoot. It was a lot of fun to try to assemble something that's a cosplay but not a canon outfit and try to think of what Marin would wear in the situation. The shoot is styled as if Marin is just having a fun day at the beach, which is a fun type of styling to do, as well.
Also, yes, that's my actual phone case. I just have a gyaru-ass holographic rainbow leopard print case normally!
