August is probably the slowest time of the year for me because I usually take most of the month off from photography while everything is boiling outside in Texas and then pick it up again in September. I generally take this time and do a little business house-cleaning and plan what I want to do for the upcoming fall/holiday/spring seasons, and I was looking through images from the past when I ran across this beauty and couldn't help smiling.

This is a group of girls who are friends of mine that have established a girls night crew and fondly refer to themselves as "The Queen B's" where once a month they go out as a group and do something fun together. Each month, 2 different people are responsible for planning that month's night out, and they've done some pretty unique and ridiculously fun things. Generally this is a no-men-allowed gig, but one night a while back they rented out a studio in downtown Dallas and asked if I would come down and photograph each one of them "B'ing" themselves and then do a couple group shots. Each girl's assignment was to think of a single word that describes who they are or something about them and then dress accordingly. Pretty cool, eh? Make's me wanna start a guy's group to do something out of the ordinary once a month, but - being men - I'm not convinced any of us our organized or motivated enough to coordinate such a thing. Or, more likely, we'd run out of ideas after the first month and sit around having the following conversation: "Whadda you wanna do?" "I dunno, whadda you wanna do?" "I don't care, whatever everyone else wants to do." "We're just hanging out here again watching a game again, aren't we?" "Probably." "Works for me."
