AMANDA CHARCHIANAmanda is a 24-year-old photographer who lives in Los Angeles. She hates hippies, has never been to middle America, wishes Yoko Ono were her mom, refuses to wear denim, and her first word was the Farsi word for “God.” One day she hopes to launch her own magazine, which she says will be a tasteful cross between National Geographic and Playboy. Until that finally comes together, you can check her work out in other publications, including ours. For this issue she took a bunch of photos of her hot, scantily clad friends for a fashion shoot in the desert. It looked like they were all having a very spiritual time, and it made some of us wish we lived in LA instead of cold, uncaring New York.
