“We want to give Lizzie that book she never got when she was alive.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Photographer and writer Kyle Cassidy<\/a> and actor and model Trillian Stars<\/a> join us for a Bonus Episode to talk about their new Kickstarter, THIS IS ONLY EARTH, MY DEAR \u2013 POEMS & PHOTOS<\/a> (closing May 4, 2024<\/strong>)! We get into their inspiration to make a book combining the poems of Pre-Raphaelite muse-model-artist Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal<\/a> with photos of Trillian (in a Pre-Raphaelite mode), how the project changed once they began shooting in East London, how they found enough costumes for all the photos they wanted to take, and why Lizzie Siddal was dismissed by the peers of her husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti<\/a>. We also get into what they’ve learned from nearly a dozen Kickstarters, what stretch goals they’re hoping to reach for this one, how modeling and acting overlap and differ (and why Kyle prefers shooting with actors), how the ghost of old London lives in modern London, and what a gift Lizzie Siddal’s poems are. Give it a listen!<\/a> And GO PLEDGE<\/a>!<\/p>\n

(& go listen to my 2012<\/a>, 2017<\/a> and 2020<\/a> conversations with Kyle!)<\/em><\/p>\n

“My best advice for Kickstarter is: have a realistic goal.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
