Being stoned is the inspiration that photographer Beau Grealy took for an editorial in the Russh Australia April 2010 issue. The spread is even called 'Stoned.' Model Bambi Northwood-Blyth looks remarkable in the spread, sporting multiple layers including many fur vests and shawls, which ultimately make her look as if she had just thrown on a bunch of random clothes without thinking.
Her facial expressions reflect that of a stoned person as well. In some pictures she looks just out of it and some just plain confused. If people can throw random clothes on and rock it like Northwood-Blyth, then the world would be a better place!
