Fashion photographer Terry Richardson and his assistant are expecting twins. So he and Alexandra “Skinny” Bolotow hosted their friends for an unusual baby shower.
The table decorations, published on Instagram, included a dildo, a spread of condoms, suckers in the shape of penises, and penis glasses. “Let’s party,” says a cartoon penis. The condom packs show a picture of “Skinny’s” two unborn children with the words, “cumming soon.” The cake featured a naked “Skinny” with two baby heads peaking out of her vagina. Richardson has also been posting nude pictures of “Skinny” on Instagram as her pregnancy has progressed.
During the Christmas season, Richardson and “Skinny” posed for a Christmas card openly mocking Jesus Christ and the Holy Family. Richardon is dressed as Joseph, “Skinny” as the Virgin Mother, and their dog as the Christ child, and they are posing in front of the iconic Bates Hotel sign.
Richardson is a master of scandal. He has been accused repeatedly with questionable behavior with the young models he shoots for fashion magazines.
In a 2010 story Jezebel called him “the world’s most f—ked up fashion photographer.” Jamie Peck was 19 when she first posed nude for Richardson who, according to Peck, asked her to call him “Uncle Terry,” dressed like a “hipster pedophile” and asked to play with her bloody tampon and to make tea out of it. Peck said Richardson got naked and demanded a hand-job, which she regretfully provided.
“Skinny” first came to Richardson as an intern and in 2004 was photographed giving Richardson wearing a tiara with the word “slut” attached giving him oral sex. She also appeared nude in his 2005 book, Kobosh.
Richardson has never been charged for any of his escapades. “Skinny” says any complaints are the result of women trying to put the “onus onto someone else for your own decision that you’ve made in your life.”
