Photography by various attendees
Master Dex was in a jocular mood as he served champagne, reminisced about all the sexy models he photographed from 2010 until 2018, and bantered with Maitre Kurt at his delightful retrospective exhibit opening.
“I usually like to capture eyes in my portraits... but Destiny was too gorgeous, so I blindfolded her,” he explained, the added, laughing, “I was close to ball gagging her... such a chatty model.”
Kurt persisted in goading him on, “I might recognize this one but I have never seen her with her clothes on before.”
Dex identified the various models one by one, clarifying to the large crowd of admirers that some were past lovers and not all were from Roissy. The last one was, however: “This is a recreation of the 1870's painting ‘Lesbia,’ by John Reinhard Weguelin. The model is Juelle.”
Congratulations to Master Dex for a stunning exhibition of portraits!
