Gallery: Dame Wright ‘Calendula’
Dame Wright ‘Calendula‘ by Arkisi
When I read the title of this set I wondered if the photographer was Rob Zombie, but no it’s Arkisi!. Even when fully dressed Dame Wright is an arresting sight. With her blonde hair styled with a bit of 70s flair and her big, dark blue eyes, she definitely captures one’s attention. Dame has a dramatic, stylized, big-screen type of beauty that calls to mind Wonder Woman or a character from Charlie’s Angels. And that quality makes the setting — a small kitchen — seem just a bit curious.
Arkisi has chosen to have Dame reveal her body from bottom to top. In #018 there’s a playful “peek-a-boo” expression on her face as she lifts the hem of her filmy shift to expose her shapely hips and other, clean-shaven areas of interest. We’re also treated to up-close investigations of Dame’s pink and succulent sections early on (see #032 and #046).
Dame Wright isn’t prone to the broad, dramatic gestures or expressions her flashy outward appearance might suggest. There’s a quiet, subtle quality to much of the emotion on display here along with a kittenish cuteness (#043).
As I’ve mentioned, a kitchen seems a somewhat unlikely backdrop for such a glamorous girl, but it’s perhaps a tribute to her looks and talent that Dame Wright pulls it off so well. Even when she gets down on the tile floor — hardly a glamorous or flattering spot — she manages to radiate real film star energy. You can absolutely see it in a floor-bound pin-up like #111, and her facial and bodily beauty are both splendidly captured when she happily performs a shoulder bridge off the tiles in #115 and #116.
This is only Dame Wright’s second Met Art erotic photo gallery, and both of them were shot by Arkisi. My suggestion, humbly offered, is for model and photographer to find a setting that more closely matches Dame’s style and spirit for future sessions — this type of beauty deserves a better backdrop than the simple kitchen of “Calendula.”
