A few months ago photographer Ed Zipco asked us if he could shoot a Vice fashion spread consisting of pretty redheaded ladies covered in ladybugs. Of course we said, “Of course.” Weeks later we were standing inside a photo studio with 200,000 ladybugs. They creepy-crawled all over and inside every nook, cranny, and fanny (yes, we’re talking orifices), but as you can see the results were well worth it. And, just so you know, ladybug sex stench is perhaps the funkiest aroma to ever waft up a nostril.
